LACMA Announces Landmark Promised Gift of The James Goldstein House

We are thrilled to announce that James Goldstein has promised his John Lautner-designed home, its contents, and the surrounding estate to LACMA! The promised gift, which is in a new area of collecting for the museum, includes a James Turrell Skyspace in its extensive landscaped tropical gardens, an infinity tennis court, and an entertainment complex. Mr. Goldstein’s extensive fashion collection, works by artists including Ed Ruscha, DeWain Valentine, Bernar Venet, and Kenny Scharf, architectural models of the property, and an iconic Rolls Royce Silver Cloud from 1961 are included in the gift.

The James Goldstein House represents a one-of-a-kind collaboration between an architect and patron over more than 30 years. Built in 1963 for Helen and Paul Sheats by John Lautner, the house was purchased by Mr. Goldstein in 1972. Beginning in 1979, when Mr. Goldstein brought the architect to the house, until Lautner’s death in 1994, the two worked closely together to rebuild and adapt the house according to Lautner’s and Goldstein’s ultimate vision, from replacing all the glass in the house to blur the line between the indoor and outdoor to collaborating on custom-built minimalist furniture made of concrete, wood, and glass.

Known to some as Jackie Treehorn’s house from the 1998 film, The Big Lebowski, the James Goldstein House is an exciting acquisition for LACMA!
