Blum & Poe, Mendes Wood DM and art and design fair Object & Thing come together to present a new type of contemporary display at the Noyes house

Pictured here is a bronze sculpture by Alma Allen stmbolically placed where an Alexander Calder used to be, before the Noyes family donated it to the Museum of Modern Art in the 1990s
While many of the year’s art and design exhibitions have been seamlessly and successfully moved online, a triumvirate of New York galleries are making a case for the in-person experience with a collaborative exhibition of art and design set within the rich architectural history of New Canaan in Connecticut.
The exhibition’s inception was largely down to Abby Bangser, the founder of Object & Thing, and her familiarity with the architectural gems and treasures of the region. Bangser moved to New Canaan six years ago with her husband Matt Bangser, a partner in Blum & Poe.
Fred Noyes, the son of Eliot Noyes, says, ‘My father conceived of the architecture of the house as a backdrop to seamlessly mingle art with daily life. As I grew up, new artworks were continuously introduced, unfettered by period or style, and existing pieces rearranged as life changed. This exciting exhibition is a direct continuation of that tradition of bringing fresh ideas to the house.
