Living with Art Adam Dolle Cohabitates with Concepts
text Hilary Lewis photos Myro Rosky DESIGNER AND CONCEPTUAL ARTIST ADAM DOLLE is no stranger to confronting cul-
ture’s moral relativism. As a young man, he studied for the priesthood. Those big issues, of right and wrong, life and death, and haves and have-nots, have remained with him throughout his adulthood. Today, he truly coexists with his beliefs through remarkably well considered and well crafted artworks, some of which also double as furnishings in his current home at Avenue Lofts in Fort Lauderdale’s arts district. Here Dolle practices a daily consideration of our culture’s embrace of violence and what can be done about it.
He found his path to design at New York’s acclaimed Pratt Institute. Dolle would develop a highly successful career in interior design with high-end projects ––– from Miami Beach to New York’s Central Park South ––– which have spanned the sleekly modern to the sumptuously classical. His own former loft on Bond Street in Manhattan received glowing coverage in The New York Times over 20 years ago. Dolle could easily have remained focused on beautiful interiors for wealthy clients without 34 ISLAND MAGAZINE
