Info
Buck House is a gallery on Madison Avenue in the Carnegie Hill neighborhood of Manhattan’s Upper East Side, USA. The gallery opened in November 2001 and is owned and operated by artist, designer, and author Deborah Buck. The gallery displays and sells fine art and design objects, said to be among the “finest examples of design from the 19th century to the present.”In 2006, Buck House launched a second, much larger space nearby called The Gallery at Buck House. This exhibition space hosted fine art exhibitions, book release parties, and events to benefit charitable organizations. In September 2010, however, Buck House closed its two locations in favor of one, much larger space on Madison Avenue which combines both the antique store and exhibition space. “The idea” said Deborah Buck in a 2010 interview, “was to create a meeting place and a salon like those in 1920s Paris.”
Trained as a painter and set designer, Deborah's style is reflected in the grouping of objects at Buck House. Deborah Buck originated the concept for 'Buck House Moments': a series of curated still-life photographs including antiques, fine art and floral arrangements. An eclectic assemblage of objects, or tableaux, highlight shared formal characteristics between objects and design a moment in the world of Buck House. Exhibitions, revolving window displays, and tableaux developed at Buck House have inspired books such as Tableau and Fictional Females of Buck House and allow the public to explore, appreciate and interpret design in everyday life.
