Pierre Koenig / The Bailey House


The Bailey House (1958), Case Study House 21 by Pierre Koenig
The house was auctioned off by Wright in 2006. It sold for $3.1 million and the buyer was Gallery SEOMI. It now operates as their gallery for contemporary art.

The custom Gerald McCabe/Pierre Koenig music center cabinet from CSH 21 was up for auction last month at Sotheby's.
The estimate was $8-12k and it looks like it passed. In 2005 it sold for $16k. 
Gallery SEOMI should scoop it up and put it back in the house.

Along with the music center, the sofa and ottoman were all custom-made for the house by Gerald McCabe.
While I'm spending Gallery SEOMI's money, they should probably pick up one of the McCabe Silhouette as well. More on that here.

It doesn't get much better than this one.
