Thirties Transposition

The gallery in the Rockefeller’s New York City apartment.

The gallery was originally the dining room. In the nineteen-sixties Nelson Rockefeller expanded the apartment by buying an entire floor of the building next door because it obscured the view from their dining room. Surrealist sconces by Giacometti and a chair by Frank are original. At the end of the hall is the same Aubusson area rug by Christian Bérard used in the original living room nearest the mural by Léger.
