Back to May 2010 at Christie’s for the sale of the collection of Mrs. Sidney F. Brody. Here’s a selection of images of Sidney and Frances Brody’s home in Holmby Hills, California. The home is an iconic place, already famous for #HenriMatisse’s ceramic wall work La Gerbe, commissioned by the couple to the artist in 1953 for the patio of their 1949 #ArchibaldQuincyJones designed home. Sidney Brody was a LACMA board chair, and the Brody’s were major modern art collectors. 1,2) #PabloPicasso’s “Nu au Plateau de Sculpteur, 1932, and #AlbertoGiacometti’s “Grande tête mince,” 1955. 3) #Matisse’s Nu au coussin bleu, 1924 in the reading room. 4) Sitting on a console table La Masseuse, bronze sculpture by #EdgarDegas (original wax model created in ca 1895) on the floor (right) an important vase by #AndreDerain titled Baigneuses dans un paysage. 5) on the wall hangs La Treille by #GeorgesBraque ; on the console sits a ballerina by Degas. 7) Portrait of Beverly Hills investor Sidney Brody (right) and his wife, Frances, as they pose together in their home, 1966. On the wall behind them is the large ceramic piece by Matisse ‘La Gerbe’ (The Sheaf) (1953). It was commissioned by the Brodys and weighed around 2000 pounds; Mrs Brody’s will left the work to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art @lacma where it was moved in 2010. Photo by Ralph Crane. 8) a photo from the early 60s portraying the Brody’s in their patio alongside Matisse, on the lower table a sculpture by #JeanArp and on the foreground an #HenryMoore . Todd Eberle pointed out that “The then-new invention of California’s indoor/outdoor must have been behind the inspired decision to have La Gerbe, the giant Matisse cutout painting from 1953, live outside on the lanai, above the white sofa’s drab gray and washed-out red pillows, which are set at diamond-like angles, all echt-modern-like.” (What Modern Was: A Manifesto by Mrs. Sidney F. Brody, by Todd Eberle, Vanity Fair, April 2010) #artcollection #artcollcollector #modernart #art #painting #sculpture #Giacometti #Picasso #architecture #design #interior #interiorart #interiorlovers #artlovers #decor #display #LosAngeles 1) @art_collectors_at_home

Portrait de Marguerite by #HenriMatisse , 1906-07. Hôtel Salé, Musée Picasso, Paris. Matisse traded this painting of his daughter with #PabloPicasso for one of Picasso’s works. The piece remained in Picasso’s personal collection for years and it was donated to the museum in 1978. Matisse painted more portraits of his daughter than of all the other members of his family combined. Marguerite Emilienne Matisse (1894–1982) was the artist’s eldest child, the daughter of his girlfriend and model, Camille Joblaud. Plagued with ill health, Marguerite was only six years old when she developed acute breathing problems that necessitated an emergency tracheotomy. In the 1920s she married art critic Georges Duthuit and essentially ended her creative collaboration with her father. Then, during World War II, Marguerite worked for the French resistance and was eventually arrested by the Gestapo. After being imprisoned and tortured, she was deported to a concentration camp but escaped en route. Marguerite survived to the age of 87; she was in the process of completing an extensive catalgoue of Matisse’s art just before she died. In 2014 The Baltimore Museum of Art presented a special exhibition of prints, drawings, paintings, and sculptures that provide a fascinating glimpse of Henri Matisse’s relationship with his only daughter (Matisse’s Marguerite: Model Daughter, February 2014) “Matisse approached these portraits of Marguerite with an intimacy that’s not necessarily seen in his other works,” said Jay Fisher, BMA Deputy Director for Curatorial Affairs. “Most of his models were often shown preoccupied, looking off into a different direction away from the viewer. They aren’t as much the subject of the painting as they are in service to other artistic ideas. Matisse was much more direct and sensitive to Marguerite’s features and character.” 2,3) the painting hanging at #Picasso’s Château of Vauvenargues near Aix-en-Provence (Southern France) home of Picasso and wife Jacqueline. 4,5,6) Marguerite posing for #ManRay (1925) when she was 31 years old. #art #artist #painting #portrait #modernart #interiorart #interior #artiststudio #chateau #decor #artcollection

The Panza Collection, Villa Panza, Varese, Northern Italy. #GiuseppePanzadiBiumo was “The man who bought a score of Rauschenbergs, on the slender evidence of a few photos, when no one in Europe had yet understood them” and this “when” means 1962. The collection would quickly become an international reference: Morris, Flavin, Rothko, a thermometer of the contemporary and later a monument of a history still in progress. (…) In the Panza di Biumo collection, works are always displayed in groups, every artist being represented by a constellation of his paintings, and the work of each one carefully differentiated from the rest. Morris and Flavin, the latest acquisitions, now belong to the history of this collection. (…) Previously Count Panza had hinged his collection (begun in the middle 1950s) on two big names: Franz Kline and Mark Rothko. These artists were only just being discovered in Europe when in ‘56 Count Panza bought his first Kline paintings, dated round about that time, and later the big Rothko canvasses, covering ‘54 to ‘58. (…) A journey to the United States in ‘62 enabled Count Panza to make the acquaintance of Leo Castelli and the artists of his gallery (…) This collection is private only in that it represents the unflagging passion and enthusiasm of one man. A profound artistic culture and a painstaking examination of what is happening day by day in the maelstrom of the international art world are not enough for him, and furthermore works of recognized and established merit do not interest him. (…) He has been known to listen to suggestions, from Pierre Restany or John Cage, and he has also made a few mistakes. Each of his famous paintings belongs to a private diary of emotions and perceptions continually renewed.
