Artists at Home - Bac & Bilek Our membership currently numbers 150 iconic homes spread across 25 countries - together forming an inspiring picture of the global architectural heritage of the 20th century. Some also constitute a fascinating aspect of modern art history. Take Ferdinand Bac's Les Colombières in Menton, or Villa Bilek in Prague. Artists' homes and studios like these are unique spaces which offer fascinating insights into how their former owners lived, and how they created their artworks. That's why we are currently focusing on increasing their representation in our membership.  Read more >> Welcome Wall House #2, a John Hejduk gem With its abundance of forms, colours, intriguing details, symbols and meanings, Wall House #2 has to be experienced to be believed.
