This 19th-Century Washington House Is Brimming With Blue-Chip Art
Paintings and sculptures are the honorary residents of this D.C. power couple’s home.
By Natalia Rachlin Jennifer Hughes
Neatly set back from the sloping, redbrick sidewalks that line the streets of Georgetown, in Washington, D.C., is a 19th-century house with enviable proportions, exquisite furnishings, and light that is just right. But first impressions leave little room for doubt: This is a home where art rules the roost.
As you step through the front door, the monumental Sterling Ruby mixed-media piece in the foyer nearly overwhelms with its sheer size. A sight line from the entryway to the back of the house reveals a sliver of wall that hosts a looping digital animation by the British artist Julian Opie. Around a corner from the foyer, in the living room, a painting commissioned from the Englishman Richard Long serves as the confrontational centerpiece.
