Vibrant Interiors Where George Condo’s Art Takes Center Stage

Known for his frenetic figurative paintings that echo the Cubist work of Pablo Picasso and Willem de Kooning, American artist George Condo has rightfully earned a spot as one of today’s most celebrated living painters. With works included in the holdings of the Museum of Modern Art in New York and D.C.’s National Gallery of Art, and auction prices soaring past $6 million, Condo’s mesmerizing canvases are clearly high on the must-have list for blue-chip collectors.

In recent years, Galerie has featured a number of residences that displayed Condo’s work. Below, see how the spellbinding paintings have injected exciting energy into myriad artful spaces.
