The Kardashians are known for their famous reality show but also for their luxurious lifestyle. As such, it is no surprise that their homes are decorated with the best of art. It's true the Kardashians love art and tend to decorate their homes with pieces by Pop artists such as Andy Warhol, Richard Prince and Jeff Koons. A little ironic, since this artistic movement tends to criticize the massification of popular capitalist culture and the aesthetics of the masses through symbols of brands, celebrities or other popular elements. In this article, we're going to explore the Kardashians' homes and find out what pieces of art each house offers.
Kris Jenner
Kris Jenner has created a veritable empire and with the 10% she earns from all family members, it's obvious that momager Kris Jenner has a lot of capital. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that it has numerous works of art by renowned artists such as Yoshitomo Nara, François-Xavier Lalanne, Wes Lang, a polar bear sculpture by Jeff Haynes-Leatham, among others. Plus, who can forget the episode where Kris Jenner shamed her own daughter Khloé Kardashian for not recognizing a Jeff Koons balloon dog? Oops!

Kim Kardashian created her $60 million Hidden Hills mansion with ex-husband Ye and Belgian designer Axel Vervoordt. After the divorce, Kim Kardashian kept the house.
“The only thing Kanye and I had in common was our preference for a neutral palette. I love the simplicity of the design. Everything in the outside world is so chaotic,” Kim Kardashian told Architectural Digest in February 2020. She also told AD that she had vetoed some of Ye’s “outlandish ideas” for functionality. The family bathroom, in particular, caused some conversations online after its bowlless sinks appeared in a YouTube video "73 Questions" that Vogue created with businesswoman Kim Kardashian in 2019.
The founder of the famous shapewear brand Skims basically lives inside a neutral-toned gallery, which includes works by artists like Vanessa Beecroft, Anish Kapoor, Lucio Fontana, as well as a gigantic sculpture by Isabel Rower. In his office, also in neutral tones, there is a table and chairs designed by Donald Judd.
Kylie Jenner
Young Kylie Jenner's colorful home in Hidden Hills was designed by Martyn Lawrence Bullard, a British interior designer and television personality. When Kylie opened her home to Architectural Digest, we saw her collection which includes pieces from Damien Hirst, Andy Warhol silkscreens of Marily Monroe, a KAWS chair for her daughter Stormi, and the I Love You series by Damien Hirst. Kylie Jenner's modern art collection makes any collector's eyes light up. with pieces of Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Beau Dunn, Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin this is a house that looks like some kind of Pop Art museum. “I told Martyn I wanted a new, fun vibe to match what I was feeling,” Kylie stated. “Color was essential. I love pink and I really want it! These pieces prove that the self-made billionaire has a penchant for art as well as beauty products.
Kendall Jenner
Kendall Jenner, the highest paid living model in the world, is more secretive than the rest of her sisters about her life - however, we know from the August 2020 issue of Architectural Digest which pieces of art inhabit the house.
Kendall Jenner's home includes work by photographers Beau Dunn and Lauren Greenfield, neons by Tracey Emin, as well as a sculpture by James Turrell, valued at $750,000, according to Pace Gallery. The artwork was the centerpiece of Turrell's Glass collection. According to Pace Gallery, the sculpture was initially hung horizontally in the gallery presentation, but they later noted that the piece can be hung any way the collector wants. Kendall Jenner also told Architectural Digest that her five-bedroom, pan-Mediterranean-style mansion "is a place where I can just relax." This interest in art goes back a long way, and in his old house there were already walls covered with works by William Klein and Lauren Greenfield.
Khloé Kardashian
As we've seen over the years, the Kardashians like to live close to their family members. Recently, Khloé Kardashian and Kris Jenner moved to Hidden Hills and bought houses next to each other. In his old house in Calabasas, there were several pieces of art that probably now reside in his new mansion. In Khloé's old home cinema were pieces from Hirst's The Cure series and several prints of Andy Warhol. There was also a print of Hollywood Africans in front of the Chinese Theater with Footprints of Movie Stars (1983) by Jean-Michel Basquiat, above your fireplace.
Kourtney Kardashian
The founder of Poosh constantly shares her mansion in Calabasas with her fans. Kourtney Kardashian's living room was designed by interior designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard. The piano proudly displayed in the room, on which Kourtney Kardashian took piano lessons, is a gift from her mother, Kris Jenner. In the 2017 issue of Architectural Digest, we can see that Kourtney's home includes the most understated black and white works by photographers Harry Benson, Herb Ritts and Greg Gorman. There are also works by artists Damien Hirst and James Turrell, again, a Roy Lichtenstein framed above the dining table are photographs of Andy Warhol and Edie Sedgwick in the guest room, as well as a graffiti print of Mickey Mouse in Reign's room that appears to be from Mr. Brainwash.
All the family
The family as a whole is a great source of inspiration for artists. Who isn't familiar with the Kardashian family Christmas card, often photographed by some of the world's most famous artists, including David LaChapelle. We should also remember an episode of the reality show Keeping Up With Kardashian, where the artist Mr. Brainwash it featured a painting of the family in the style of Renoir. More recently, at Thanksgiving dinner in 2022, Kim Kardashian's home was decorated with paintings of all family members like royalty. Like a lot of the content the Kardashians share with the world, we're not sure we needed it, but we sure as hell all enjoyed it anyway!
