Home of Robert Motherwell and Helen Frankenthaler, Vogue

The living room of art collectors and artists, Robert Motherwell and Helen Frankenthaler, in their New York City brownstone on the East Nineties. Hanging on the wall, from left to right: a large 1952 oil by Helen called "Mountains and Sea;" an early Brancusi drawing; a 1949 Mark Rothko over the fireplace; a 1961 Motherwell oil, part of his masterpiece series, this one is called "Elegy to the Spanish Republic, Number 70." The mantel is constructed of a long spice chest, its top covered with milk glass. On the mantel, sits a ninth-century South India schist figure and a Matisse bronze. On the small table by the fireplace is a Degas bronze. On the big table: a small Matisse bronze called "Seated Nude;" a twelfth-century Egyptian headrest; a Miro bronze.
