Christie's is set to auction nine artworks from the Bass House, built by architect Paul Rudolph, valued at over $60 million during its May 20th-century evening sale in New York. The collection features pieces by renowned artists, including Mark Rothko and Alexander Calder. Max Carter, Christie's vice chairman, emphasized the unique integration of these artworks within the home, highlighting their essential roles in the space's curated design. The most valuable piece is Rothko's No. 4, with an estimate of $35 million, demonstrating the high caliber of this collection.
You can count on one or two hands the number of houses in America that fit that description, which is what makes this so special.
The works of art themselves weren't just sort of incidental decor. They're really fundamental to the whole experience.
It's a house where everything kind of fits seamlessly together and why each work of art stands on its own.
The top lot is Mark Rothko's No. 4 (Two Dominants) [Orange, Plum, Black], 1950-51, which Christie's said has an estimate 'in the region of $35 million.'
