The Front Hall Is Where a Collection First Introduces Itself

Galerie argues that a home makes its case in the entry, before a guest reaches any other room. The idea is that the few square feet inside the front door should already show something of the people who live there and what they love. For anyone who lives with art and design, from a Palm Beach foyer to a New York gallery hall, that makes the entry less a passage and more a first exhibit. Everything that follows in the house is read through what was seen at the threshold.
