History

 
The duplex apart. on FIFTY SEVENTH STREET
Addresses

Excerpt taken from Casas e Gente (Houses and People), No., 1989: "In 1942, after a short stay in Hollywood, the Kuffners bought a duplex apartment at 322 East 57th Street in New York, where they resided until the baron's death in 1962. Tamara chose the same "palette" to decorate her new residence as for her Parisian studio, subtle gradations of gray and yellow... Instead of the contemporary style she had so loved, the new furnishings were composed of Italian Rococo antiques.

 
 -1942
Chronology

The 1941 show moved to los Angeles, where a new gallery belonging to Julien Levy opens on Sunset Boulevard. After an exhibition at the Milwaukee Art Center, the Kuffners moved to New York, where they bought an imposing two-storey apartment at 322 57th Street. Her painting at this time took its inspiration from natural world around their country house in Connecticut, and she produced a series of still-lifes. In New York she devoted her energies to her social circle, yet poor health undermined her efforts.
