Tour:
The Rachofsky House
The Rachofsky Collection consists of artwork by international artists working in the last century. The collection focuses on two general themes: artwork from the 1960s that explores that nature of sculpture and painting, with special emphasis on Italian art associated with the Arte Povera movement, and contemporary work that explores notions of identity and the self. Of particular importance to the collection are works by Italian artists Piero Manzoni, Alighiero Boetti, Lucio Fontana, Mario Merz, Marisa Merz, and Michelangelo Pistoletto. Other artists with significant holdings in The Rachofksy Collection are Janine Antoni, Marc Quinn, Tom Friedman, Kiki Smith, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Doris Salcedo, David Hammons, Mona Hatoum, Mark Grotjahn, and Robert Gober.
About the Rachofsky House:
A visit to the Rachofsky House unfolds as a kind of procession through a series of zones, taking one from the outdoors to indoors, and then back outdoors again. All of the spaces of the house, works of contemporary art, and vignettes of the surrounding landscape combine to animate the interiors of the house. Grass, trees, pond and sky are visible from every angle of the house.
