At home with Jeffrey Deitch













The latest L.A. centric video from Nowness goes inside the Los Feliz home of Jeffrey Deitch, the New York art dealer who took over this year as director of the Museum of Contemporary Art. He wanted "a movie star house," and says that Cary Grant lived there in the 1930s. In the video, filmmaker Alison Chernick and food artist Jennifer Rubell tour the house with Deitch "and sounded out his theories on celebrity, his new vision for MOCA, and his belief that you need a painting of Jesus over your bed."
