Buck House is a gallery on Madison Avenue in the Carnegie Hill neighborhood of Manhattan’s Upper East Side, USA. The gallery opened in November 2001 and is owned and operated by artist, designer, and author Deborah Buck.〔Heller, Steven and Lita Talarico. ''The Design Entrepreneur: Turning Graphic Design Into Goods That Sell''. Beverly, Mass: Rockport Publishers, 2008, 72.〕 The gallery displays and sells fine art and design objects, said to be among the “finest examples of design from the 19th century to the present.”〔Lou Marota, “In Living Color: Outstanding Design Resources From an Insider,” in ''Connecticut Cottages and Gardens'' (February 2011).〕 In 2006, Buck House launched a second, much larger space nearby called The Gallery at Buck House. This exhibition space hosted fine art exhibitions, book release parties, and events to benefit charitable organizations.〔”Buck House Launches Gallery With ‘Manhattan: Glamor,’” ''Antiques and the Arts Weekly''. (New York: April 7, 2006).〕 In September 2010, however, Buck House closed its two locations in favor of one, much larger space on Madison Avenue which combines both the antique store and exhibition space. “The idea” said Deborah Buck in a 2010 interview, “was to create a meeting place and a salon like those in 1920s Paris.” 〔”Deborah Buck” ''The Pied a Terre'' (November 2010).〕 Trained as a painter and set designer, Deborah's style is reflected in the grouping of objects at Buck House.〔Nicksin, Carole. "Room With a Point of View", ''New York Magazine'', April 3, 2005.〕 Deborah Buck originated the concept for 'Buck House Moments': a series of curated still-life photographs including antiques, fine art and floral arrangements. An eclectic assemblage of objects, or tableaux, highlight shared formal characteristics between objects and design a moment in the world of Buck House.〔Steven Heller and Lita Talarico. Foreword in ''Tableau'', New York: Buck House, 2010.〕 Exhibitions, revolving window displays, and tableaux developed at Buck House have inspired books such as ''Tableau'' and ''Fictional Females of Buck House'' and allow the public to explore, appreciate and interpret design in everyday life. ==Buck House Gallery Exhibitions== ''Manhattan/Glamour'', 2006 An exhibition of photographs, sculpture, paintings, and drawings, curated by Charlie Scheips.
