Adventures of Les Maisons Tropicales






Fifty years passed for La Maison Tropical in Brazzaville, Congo, before it was taken by Eric Touchaleaume, a famous art dealer of Paris. Le Maison was later sent to New York for an auction and the larger half was bought by hotelier and entrepreneur Andre Balazs for five million dollars. The smaller half was sent back to France and is now on display at the Tate Modern in London.
