Our neighborhood’s stunning piece of architecture known as the Rachofsky House will open to the public 10 a.m.-1 p.m. June 1. Yes, that seems like a long time from now, but you have to make reservations by May 31, and space is limited. To RSVP, email Thomas Fuelmer. Admission is free, but there is a limit of two people per RSVP, and guests must be at least 14 years old.
You can view the house’s current exhibition Portraits and Not, a “collection that connect with ideas of portraiture and self-portraiture.” There are three spaces of works by three different artists: Janine Antoni in the gallery, Troy Brauntuch in the library and Mark Grotjahn in the bedroom.
The Rachofsky House is the private home of art collectors Howard and Cindy Rachofsky. Designed by architect Richard Meier in 1996, the home blends indoor and outdoor spaces. There is a permanent art collection, including some interesting sculptures in the front and back yards. The house hosts tours by appointment only for school groups and individuals.
Located just a stone’s throw from the busy Preston and Northwest Highway intersection, we featured the Rachofsky House in our Janurary 2011 issue, “Things We Love About Preston Hollow.”
