Steve Rubell: Last Call

By Stephen Saban on January 18, 2013 12:53 pm

Rubell

From Curbed: “Tomorrow begins the massive sell-off of the estate of Steve Rubell, the late co-owner of NYC’s Studio 54, the ’70s nightclub that ‘made Halloween in Hollywood look like a PTA meeting,’ according to actress Lorna Luft, and served as ‘the beating heart of the city’s disco scene,’ according to the New York Times, which dubbed Rubell a ‘master promoter’ and one of the ‘first pashas of disco’ in his 1989 obituary. Up for auction are scads of one-of-a-kind pieces, from furniture to home accessories, fine art, photographs, and ephemera, ranging from crisp midcentury classics to the effusive chrome designs of the 1980s. Included: Andy Warhol Polaroids, paintings, and sculpture; Gio Ponti dining chairs, lounge chairs, and cocktail tables; circa-1970 furnishings by Paul Evans; a mirror by Salvador Dali; Philippe Starck light fixtures and stools (the ones from Star Wars); and many more design prizes, not to mention photographs of ‘merrymakers like Diana Ross, Frank Sinatra, Truman Capote, and Liza Minnelli,’ according to the Times.”
