Living with Art

We recently asked Jamie Krass and Carolyn Pastel (20th Century Decorative Art & Design) and Koji Inoue (Post-War and Contemporary Art) to select works from their upcoming sales that illustrate the complementary nature of these fashionable collecting fields. Their choices remind us that art isn’t only about the beauty of the painting on the wall, or the high-design furniture, but also how carefully curated selections come together to create a room for both refinement and relaxation. Take a closer look and consider how these accessible works by leading 20th century artists and designers may fit seamlessly into your own home…

Browse the First Open and 20th Century Decorative Art & Design sales to view lot details for the works featured here, which include property from the estate of Dorothy and Marshall M. Reisman.
