This Throwback Thursday, multiple views of the Southampton house of the late Arthur E. Smith, 1989. In the large living room, Arman’s “Pouring Blue” assemblage was hung above the banquette/sofa which was designed by Mr. Smith; the striped linen on the armchairs by Brunschwig & Fils. In the second image, an old Italian faïence figure stood in front of an Ilya Bolotowsky canvas. In the dining room, images three and four, a David Hockney hung above the console snd a Robert Motherwell was over the mantelpiece. Manuel Canovas fabric on chairs, and again on the bed curtains and canopy in the primary bedroom, image five. A very large Bielecky wicker bed occupied much of the guest room; Botero’s “Hommage à Bonnard” hung over the varnished teak tub in the primary bathroom, seventh image. Last image, the handsome Mr. Smith in his office, with some Bielecky chairs. As mentioned here before, Mr. Smith began his career as Billy Baldwin’s assistant, later becoming a partner in the firm. He took over the firm after Mr. Baldwin retired, though he told Architectural Digest that he continued to maintain a desk for Baldwin. Photographs by Peter Vitale for Architectural Digest; these first appeared in the July, 1989 issue. #arthuresmith #billybaldwin #baldwinmartinsmith #architecturaldigest #petervitale #davidhockney #bieleckybrothers #robertmotherwell #arman
