This iteration of Peter Blake Gallery’s BLAKEHAUS mines the aesthetics of modern architecture, West Coast minimalism, and historical modern design in a site-specific installation at The Hunt House in Malibu. Designed and built by Craig Ellwood in 1957 for Victor and Elizabeth Hunt, this architecturally significant design traverses Bauhaus and the International Style doctrine with California informality. Honored as an Architectural Record House of the Year in 1959, it is a quintessential example of California Modernism.

The meticulous restoration of the home was led by architect Diane Bald, who along with her husband Michael Budman are the present owners of the home, in collaboration with Blair (Barton) Jahncke, architect Jim Tyler, Jim Budman and many craftspeople. The Hunt House is considered one of the most important modern homes in Southern California.

Featured artists include Peter Alexander, Lita Albuquerque, Stephanie Bachiero, Larry Bell, Tony Delap, Eric Orr, Helen Pashgian, Phillip K. Smith III, and De Wain Valentine.

Design includes important works by Mario Bellini, Sia Bologna, Joe Colombo, Pierre Guariche, Willy Guhl, Paul Frankl, Max Ingrand, Pierre Jeanneret, Angelo Lelii, Angelo Mangiarotti, Enzo Mari, Mathieu Matégot, Axel Salto, Charles Siclis, Andre Sornay, and Marco Zanuso.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to visit one of the finest examples of Craig Ellwood’s work, thoughtfully restored and filled with an incredible collection of well-curated artwork and furnishings by the leading exhibitor of West Coast minimalism.
