Producer and art collector Benny Blanco featured in People Magazine

“I think it looks like me,” he said Architectural Digest earlier this year in reference to the Condo painting. “I just like to have art all over the house because I don’t know what the person was feeling when they made it, but I see certain things when I walk by it and it might inspire me and I see maybe different on that. another day and be like, holy shit, I never noticed a, like, stroke there or, like, that imperfection right there, and I don’t know, it makes me happy. ”

In addition to the Condo painting, the Architectural Digest profile at Blanco’s home displayed his extensive art collection, which he described as “high-low.” Contemporary artists feature heavily – Martin Wong, Nicholas Devlin, Amia Yokoyama, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Andy Warhol, to name just a few – with a scattering of modern artists such as Salvador Dali. Also spotted was a plate decorated by Jonas Wood’s children; a chair sculpture made of baguettes by Lola Abbey; a tall ceramic by Jasmine Little, Raul Nieves’s Gargoyle 2 wall sculpture; Tomory Dodge’s painting Arrangementas well as one white bear bench from the AP Collection.
