Crosby Doe Associates, Inc. 8645 Sunset Blvd., West Hollywood, CA 90069 DRE# 01844144 310.275.2222 First Offering: As impossible to pigeonhole a style of these giants of art and architecture, so it is with their col- laboration on John's own home, the model of which was featured center at LACMA's Frank Gehry Retrospective. Frank and John were friends. From stories about John, one can imagine a request that may have gone like this: Frank, I'm tired of traipsing up and down stairs every time I want something from the kitch- en. I want my bedroom to be just steps from everything: my art, my library, the kitchen, and an out- door place where I can enjoy a cigar, a glass of wine, and a view of the golf course next door. Frank achieved these requirements by pinwheeling the living space and gallery around a cloistered hep- tagonal courtyard, thus referencing, if not by shape, the program of the early California Missions. Revers- ing tradition, the master bedroom is on the ground floor, while the guest bedrooms are on the second floor. An elevator contiguous to the master bedroom ascends to the rooftop patios with golf course and city vistas. John Baldessari and Frank O.
