Museums can often be as important as the art they exhibit. However that’s not usually the case with galleries, unless you’re Country Club. The gallery has taken over The Buck House in Los Angeles. A modernist home built in 1934 and designed by one of the fathers of Southern California Modernism, Rudolph Schindler. Instead of stripping the space bare, the house is fully furnished with iconic pieces from the Eames, Nelson, Saarinen, Aalto, Noguchi, etc – entirely livable and adorned with art from the current exhibition. Their inaugural show was held last September with Charley Harper. Currently on view is Fritz Chestnut’s Peak and Flow. The space is open to the public by appointment only.
