Rio Kobayashi & Fritz Rauh

Rio Kobayashi & Fritz Rauh features new furniture by Japanese-Austrian designer Rio Kobayashi and historic paintings and works on paper by German-born Fritz Rauh (1920–2011). Several never-before-seen paintings by Rauh, an emblematic painter of Marin’s mid-century artistic community, play against contemporary furniture made by London-based Kobayashi at the Blunk House in 2024. Connecting them through the hinge of JB Blunk’s legacy, a conversation emerges around organic forms, free intuitive expression, and vigorous color deftly bound by technical rigor.
