Benny Blanco, the Grammy-nominated songwriter and producer, was recently featured in People Magazine‘s 2024 “Sexiest Man Alive” issue, along with his Art collection.
Blanco was photographed by the magazine in his home in Los Angeles. In one photograph, Blanco is featured on his dining room table next to a plate of nachos, framed front of the George Condo portrait, The Musician.
“I kind of think it looks like me,” he told Architectural Digest earlier this year, in reference to the Condo painting. “I just like having art all over the house, because I don’t know what emotion the person had when they were making it, but I see certain things when I walk past it and it might inspire me and I might look at it differently another day and be like, holy shit, like, I never noticed that one, like, stroke there or, like, that imperfection right there and I don’t know, it makes me happy.”
In addition to the Condo painting, the Architectural Digest profile on Blanco’s home showcased his extensive art collection, which he described as “high-low.” Contemporary artists feature heavily—Martin Wong, Nicholas Devlin, Amia Yokoyama, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Andy Warhol, just to name a few—with a scattering of modern artists like Salvador Dali. Also spotted was a plate decorated by the children of Jonas Wood; a chair sculpture made out of baguettes by Lola Abbey; a tall ceramic by Jasmine Little, Raul Nieves’s Gargoyle 2 wall sculpture; Tomory Dodge’s painting Arrangementas well as a white bear bench from AP Collection. Several plush flowers by Takashi Murakami decorate an oversized brown sectional in Blanco’s TV room.
Blanco also attended the Frieze Los Angeles art fair in 2022.
