Pierre Koenig / The Bailey House
The Bailey House (1958), Case Study House 21 by Pierre Koenig
The house was auctioned off by Wright in 2006. It sold for $3.1 million and the buyer was Gallery SEOMI. It now operates as their gallery for contemporary art.

The custom Gerald McCabe/Pierre Koenig music center cabinet from CSH 21 was up for auction last month at Sotheby's.
The estimate was $8-12k and it looks like it passed. In 2005 it sold for $16k.
Gallery SEOMI should scoop it up and put it back in the house.

Along with the music center, the sofa and ottoman were all custom-made for the house by Gerald McCabe.
While I'm spending Gallery SEOMI's money, they should probably pick up one of the McCabe Silhouette as well. More on that here.
