"In a sense, every single issue of AD is about art: It is a vital aspect of so many of the homes we photograph, whether a priceless masterpiece or a beloved child's handmade drawings and sculptures on display for all to admire. Yet in the December issue we prioritize it, seeking homeowners who take the concept of collecting, curating, and living with specific treasures to the next level."
""Our collection is a conversation, and sometimes it argues with itself, which is exactly how we like it." In the grand Venice apartment of Luca Bombassei, the architect says, "Look closely, and you'll see there are always nails in my walls-what I have on display at any time varies depending on my mood." Filmmaker Fabiola Beracasa Beckman, whose Greenwich Village town house with its luminous Sol LeWitt mural is shown on the cover, has deftly layered her residence with family heirlooms-"
Art functions as a central element in domestic environments, ranging from priceless masterpieces to children's handmade drawings and sculptures. Many homeowners actively collect, curate, and live with specific treasures, elevating these objects into defining components of their interiors. Collections can act as conversations that sometimes argue with themselves, producing layered, dynamic assemblies. Luca Bombassei stages works on nails in his Venice apartment, changing displays according to his mood. Filmmaker Fabiola Beracasa Beckman's Greenwich Village townhouse features a luminous Sol LeWitt mural, layered family heirlooms—many sourced by Renzo Mongiardino—artworks by Latin American artists, and a collection of Picasso ceramics inherited from her grandmother.
