The “Summer Home” exhibition will take up residence in the center’s Spencer Gallery to showcase Jupiter Island resident Lucy Bassett Andrews’ exquisite dollhouse collection. The three dollhouses are known for the miniature art by world-renowned artists like Cy Twombly, Julian Schnabel, Ross Bleckner, Donald Baechler, Rebecca Warren and Philip Taaffe, adorning the walls. The artists came together in 1993 to create more than 50 custom-designed works in their signature styles for the dollhouses. Stay a while and wander through the large canine-inspired oil paintings and dog sculptures by Floridian artist Skip Hartzell.
