House of art...
It was a gorgeous day by the way...
Anyway, the house displays contemporary art. Because we were given a pamplet that has photos of all the artworks, I took few photos myself. But, here's a fun sculpture of molars outside:
The next photo I was taking of this sculpture that was in front of a mirror for a double image, and wound up getting myself in the shot too.
Man, everything inside the house was pristine white, to give it a museum type quality of environment, so that color wouldn't detract from the views of the artworks. We were instructed on the rules of visiting, and believe me we were afraid to even move inside the place!
Not to mention it felt kind of weird walking around a person's house while they weren't home, even if they don't live there. Go figure.
Today our painting class took a field trip to the Rachofsky House in Dallas. Howard Rachofsky had this house built primarily for housing his extensive art collection. He no longer lives in the house, it's only there for the artworks.

Very interesting tour, even you dressed in 'white' to complete the day. You say he no longer lives there, what a waste of a gorgeous place. Thanks for sharing.
Yep, but at least he lets the public view his private collection, most private collectors don't. And the tour guide said that when Rachofsky dies this house & art will be donated to the city of Dallas. Or county, or something like that. I was only half listening, off in my own little world as always.
