Review
"This Is The House That Jack Built" plays down Hoffmann's actual houses while (like the nursery rhyme) conveying the centrality of the idea of home, yet one is struck by the breathtakingly original interiors furnished with the best examples of 20th-century design. Hoffmann's eye for architecture and furniture is as discerning as it is for paintings, and she manages to create spaces where the art, despite its importance, doesn't overshadow the life of a room.--Tom Delavan "T: The New York Times Style Magazine "
