Stylish Things   +  Nest Magazine

the collector joseph holtzman
I've started digging through my"gold mine"of nests today.My stash of all26 issues.This spread is from issue #2.(I dug into issue #1 a while back....)I believe this is Jonathan Holtzman's home.It is, but it's not stated that it is, but it is.And yes the Kandinsky, Dubuffet and Picasso are real.The mix of styles and eras is staggering,as is the art and decoration.I think this is the only home in the world where there is aHiggins glass screen next to a Rothko.(Behind a Dalpayrat ceramic and a Matisse bronze...)Also, check out the miniature Florence Knoll sofa and chair.Is that a Donald Judd on the floor???A dust ruffle on the concert grand?Dr. Christopher Dresser holds court withDelacroix, Rembrandt, Degas, Moore and very busty Giacometti.All I have to say for this mishmash is WOW!Humping turtles....Table by Studio Alchimia????Yeah, that's a Miro being lit by a Serge and a Paavo.Bed by Herter Brothers.nest a quarterly magazine of interiorsissue #2fall 1998(unique cover by Rosemarie Trockel)
UPDATE:I am seriously high from having this magazineopen on my lap for the last 30 minutes or so, the inks, the dyes, the glue,it not having been opened in 13 years....I am sooo lightheaded and dizzy....I was wondering what that smell was....DON'T TELL THE KIDS!!!They will be selling the back issues on the streets!!!"Hey, wanna huff my nest??? 5 bucks huff....."Wow....!Gotta go lie down, if I don't wake upat least y'all will know why....
