- Summary
- Over a lifetime spent in London, New York, Los Angeles, and points in between, collector Ronnie Sassoon has put together a grouping of artworks, design objects, and houses that elucidate her definition of "selection": works by Group Zero and Arte Povera artists such as Lucio Fontana, Piero Manzoni, Michelangelo Pistoletto, and Alighiero Boetti; midcentury designers such as Carlo Scarpa, Frederick Kiesler, Jean Prouvé, and Gae Aulenti; and many more. At the center of the collection are three houses that hold the collection: the Levitt House by Richard Neutra in Los Angeles, the Stillman II House by Marcel Breuer in Connecticut, and the Dean/Ceglic Loft in SoHo, New York. Each of these structures defines its period and place in design history, and is redefined by the objects that now inhabit it.
