Art historian and biographer Sir John Richardson passed away in March of this year at the age of 95 leaving behind a legacy of wonderful books and beautifully designed homes. His Connecticut estate already sold and now his New York apartment and studio has just come on the market with Compass for $7,200,000. The 5,400 […]

I was very saddened to hear that Sir John Richardson died today at the age of 95. I just received an advance copy of his new book John Richardson: At Home last week and I was hoping to meet him at a signing or attend a speaking engagement. His loss is sad because his level of […]

If a Picasso painting is out of your price range, you might want to think about buying the artist’s last home in France. Mas de Notre Dame de Vie in Mougins where Pablo Picasso lived and worked from 1961 till his death in 1973 will be sold at auction on October 12, 2017 by Residence365.com. […]

Chateau de Castille

10 . 24 . 16

I came across Chateau de Castille on the French AD site last week. Not only is the chateau beautiful and include wall frescoes by Picasso but it’s for sale by Sotheby’s International Realty. Considering how much Picasso art work sells for at auction, it seems like a bargain at $9.66 Million. If any of you buy […]

Sir John’s Sanctuary

Also out this weekend is the Men’s Style issue of T Magazine.  I already picked up a copy and let out an audible gasp when I saw the photos of the Connecticut home of Sir John Richardson inside.  The London-born Richardson started his career in the art world by opening the New York office of Christie’s […]

I’m always amazed at what stumbling across one photo can lead to each day.  Last week, I saw the above photo on Pinterest with the simple caption, Dora Maar House. A little Googling led to not only more images but to the fact that the house is now home to the Brown Foundation Fellows Program open […]

Over the Thanksgiving holiday, I braved the crowded to check out the new Picasso Black and White exhibition at the Guggenheim museum. While it’s not as dynamic or inspiring as some of the colorful Picasso exhibitions at the Gagosian galleries recently, Picasso’s work is amazing in any color. The white spiral gallery at the Guggenheim […]

If you are looking for something to do this weekend, I suggest heading over to the Gagosian Gallery to see the new Picasso exhibition, Picasso and Marie-Thérèse: L’Amour Fou.  When Picasso saw the beautiful and blonde Marie-Thérèse Walter outside the Galeries Lafayette department store in Paris in 1927, he told her, “You have an interesting […]

I am going to have to hurry up and get all my work done early so I can sneak over to The Metropolitan Museum of Art and take in the new Picasso (1881-1973) exhibition that opens today. This “landmark exhibition”

Picasso: Mosqueteros

05 . 04 . 09

When I was little, I used to paint and draw all the time. I visited museums and loved art but hated Picasso. I always thought I could paint better than he could. During my senior year of college, I took an entire course devoted to Picasso. On the first day, the professor told the story […]
