"In Paris’s 2nd arrondissement, this Haussmann-era property was redesigned in 2002 by Ed Tuttle to function as an art showcase and features a curated collection assembled by late gallerist Darthea Speyer. The interiors—characterized by limestone and rich mahogany—are complemented by thousands of Roseline Granet bronze sculptures, two abstract-expressionist paintings by Sideo Fromboluti, dualistic pop-art works by Ed Paschke, and Sam Gilliam’s metallic collages. Many acquisitions are by living artists, giving contemporary freshness to the historic setting." - AFAR
