Was Buck House always a gallery? No. Buck House began its life on Madison Avenue in 2001. It was the brainchild of artist Deborah Buck. She envisioned a place where art and design could intertwine. Buck House wasn’t just a gallery. It was a vibrant hub, a modern salon reminiscent of 1920s Paris. Deborah Buck, a painter and set designer, curated a unique blend of art and design objects, spanning from the 19th century to the present. Buck House showcased “the finest examples of design,” offering a feast for the eyes and a haven for collectors. In 2006, the gallery expanded its reach with a second space, The Gallery at Buck House. This new venue hosted exhibitions, book launches, and even charitable events, further solidifying Buck House’s place in the cultural landscape. Buck House even hosted a memorable exhibition curated by Charlie Scheips in 2006 titled “Manhattan/Glamour.” This exhibition featured a captivating mix of photographs, sculptures, paintings, and drawings, capturing the essence of Manhattan’s glamorous side. By 2009, both locations merged into a single, larger space on Madison Avenue. This combined space became a vibrant hub. It showcased exhibitions like “Wild Flowers” in 2007, exploring the beauty of flowers in art and design. It also housed “Roger Jazilek – An Exhibition of Paintings” in 2008, showcasing the works of the talented artist. Though Buck House closed its physical doors in 2012, its legacy lives on online. Deborah Buck’s vision of a combined art and design space left a lasting impression on Manhattan’s art scene. Her curated “Buck House Moments,” still-life photographs featuring antiques, fine art, and floral arrangements, continue to inspire. These tableaux offer a glimpse into the eclectic world of Buck House. They invite viewers to explore the interplay of design and everyday life.
