Founded in 2022 by Sara Lee Hantman, Sea View initially opened in a domestic concept space designed by Jorge Pardo for the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles on Sea View Lane. Equal parts home, studio, and gallery, Pardo described the space as a “social sculpture,” rejecting traditional systems of categorization and exhibition.
With a similar mission, Sea View has recently relocated to a carefully restored 1930s Hollywood building and continues to test intimate, historical contexts where art, design, and architecture intersect.
