On a tight site in Sydney's Queens Park, this is a courtyard residence and gallery to display an extensive collection of contemporary Australian art. The concept is a north-south sequence of interlocking and skewed boxes in clashing primary colours.
'The Window' from the inside and the reason for the double height gallery. A long piece suspended from the ceiling in consonance with with a tall floor standing piece and some large paintings on he walls.
The 360-lot collection of Isabella and the late Jack Klompe the second-in-command to the high-profile chief executive founder of Lend Lease was sold in 2003 after its viewing in the Klompes' Gerrit Rietveld-style Queens Park house.
Compared with the capitalisation of Lend Lease at $4.19billion, the $330,000 spent on the collection (most purchases were for four-figure sums or less) is barely feed for the chooks.
