Will the Landmarks Committee Crush Peter Brant’s Dreams for the De Maria House?

Months after Peter Brant—paper magnate, megacollector, magazine baron, polo star—acquired Walter de Maria's home and studio last year for $27 million, there was rampant speculator as to what would become of the space. Would it be at East Village bureau of his glassy magazine, Interview? Would it be the city's first outpost of The Brant Foundation? Would it be a party pad for his fashionisto sons, Peter and Harry? Would it be the long-awaited Manhattan headquarters of the Greenwich Polo Club?

A Riot of a Party for ‘Deliverance,’ a Feisty Group Show at the Brant Foundation

In the first months of 1960, my grandfather managed to get out of Cuba thanks to some connections to Fidel Castro, an old prep school buddy of his, and left on a jet also carrying the senator from Massachusetts, John F. Kennedy. My grandfather’s kids—including my mother, who was 3—made such a scene that he sent the senator a letter apologizing. Kennedy responded, assured him the kids were fine, and soon after, my grandfather and his family settled in Greenwich, Conn.
