Hailing from the historic Paul Rudolph-designed home in Fort Worth, Texas, Art From The Bass House is the next chapter in the Anne and Sid Bass collecting story.

The couple’s home, an ambitious feat of midcentury American modernism with its interlocking spaces, dynamic vistas and expansive walls, elevated the monumental art held within — masterpieces by Mark Rothko, Frank Stella, Ellsworth Kelly and more.

This May, the 19 storied works of Art from the Bass House come to Rockefeller Center during the 20th and 21st Century Art auction series.
Modern white multi-level house with large windows and spacious outdoor areas, set against a well-manicured lawn and trees.
