Most art lovers have<\/span> to travel to see works by the minimalist Walter De Maria, best known for The Lightning Field,<\/i> his site-specific installation in the New Mexico desert. Another trove of De Maria work is housed in Tadao Ando Architect & Associates<\/a>\u2019s underground Chichu Art Museum on an island in Japan\u2019s Inland Sea. But Leonard and Louise Riggio have a gallery of De Marias right in their backyard in Bridgehamp<\/span>ton, New York. The works, which the Riggios bought at Gagosian<\/a>, the gallery that represents De Maria\u2019s estate, range from a series of pencil drawings to a black granite globe that\u2019s 9 feet in diameter and weighs 30 tons. To display the pieces, the couple envisioned a setting free of distractions\u2014including work by other artists.<\/p>\n > Project Resources<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n To design a building to house everything except the huge granite globe, the Riggios turned to Interior Design<\/i> Hall of Fame member Richard Gluckman<\/a>. Now at the helm of Gluckman Tang Architects<\/a>, he is known for designing commercial galleries, including a New York location of Gagosian, as well as private spaces conceived around specific collections. He\u2019s been described as a \u201cmaker of precisely silent frames\u201d by the critic Wilfried Wang, chair of the architecture department at the University of Texas at Austin. \u201cWe try to create the appropriate frame for the art that\u2019s going to occupy a space,\u201d Gluckman says. \u201cWe understand proportion, scale, light, and the way the visitor encounters the art object.\u201d<\/p>\n
