MIAMI BEACH — For Sarah Harrelson, running an arts magazine, raising three teenagers and collecting contemporary art are intimately entwined pursuits. Austin Harrelson, her husband and a designer, landscaped the pool area outside and appointed the interior with furnishings by classic modernists including Karl Springer and Samuel Marx, while the family as an ensemble has had a say in the mix of art — often by women, some of them very young — in their home. “We’ve all gone to Art Basel in Switzerland together for the last eight years,” Ms. Harrelson said. Today, they own close to 200 works by artists including Lucy Dodd (who paints with natural elements like yew berries and avocado skins), Tschabalala Self (who depicts exaggerated black female bodies) and Ella Kruglyanskaya (who makes stylized, cartoonish representations of women).[More]
