A slide show (NY Times) of commisioned pieces from the collection of Ohio art collector Andy Stllpass, “one of America’s most radical and eclectic contemporary-art collectors.” This is what happens if you decide to spend your fortune by having artists run around your house rearranging your books, filling your drawers, painting your house, etc.

Secret Zen Garden

Rob Pruitt’s “Idea No. 22 ‘Fill a desk drawer with gravel and make a secret Zen garden’” (1999).

The Blue Vein

Gonzalez-Foerster rearranged a bookshelf to create ‘‘The Blue Vein’’ (1993). Tiravanija later countered her with ‘‘The Red Threat’’ (1994-96).
