Art at Spa House

The Mnuchin’s have long valued art in their lives and share that experience throughout Spa House.

Painting
In the Garden room you will find the lyrical figurative abstraction of Willem DeKooning. This painting, Untitled XII, 1986, is an excellent example of this American master’s later work unique for their simple elegant style – spirals of blue and yellow, clean lines and brush stroke evoke light, movement and spirituality. Over the fireplace is the soothing, ethereal work of Miquel Barcelo entitled “Sabonera”, 2002. The textured, layered painting is typical of this Spanish artist’s most recent work.

Photography
Throughout Spa house you will find some exquisite examples of still life photography. The lovely platinum prints on display in the Spa House entry are by Carl Weese whose interpretations of the local landscape are renowned for their quality and evocative beauty. These are depictions of our very own Steeprock Reserve where many of your hikes and outdoor activities take place. Ron Van Dongen, is well known for his seductive black and white flowers which exude subtle elegance and are carefully composed blend of the serene and the dynamic. Sandi Fellman has created flower abstractions, subtly toned in sepia. The flowers are “larger than life” with a fluid energy that is at once ethereal, velvety, and delicate.

Artisinal Glass
Timothy Hochstetter has created one-of-a-kind art glass in the form of site specific blown glass sculpture and lighting. Tim worked with the spa in mind to create pieces that express movement, fluidity, flexibility and flow. These pieces are hand blown and sculpted in the Adeptus Arts studio in Washington Depot, CT.
