Andy, Frank, and Jean Michel

What's more fun that a peek behind closed doors into a fabulous art collection? Not much.

Much of the time it feels as though art is an afterthought in a home, fluff used to fill wall space. Of course, art is not everyone's first priority. But it sure is fun to visit someone's home who feels art is the only priority. While the images we culled together are glimpses at some very recognizable works and collections, art brings a certain element to a home no matter the fame, price or provenance of the pieces.

So, here's to wishing we could all kick back in an armchair under our very own Diebenkorn!
