Enthusiastic collectors, the Oudts own an array of ceramics (including pieces by Brenda Holzke and Simone Bodmer-Turner), paintings by artists such as José-María Cundin and America Martin, and a few sculptures, notably John Riepenhoff’s easel with human legs that playfully greets visitors in the entry. They even installed a video work by Gregory Scott that was purchased in New Orleans at the Arthur Roger Gallery in the dining room’s bar, where walnut paneling and cabinetry frames an eye-catching backsplash of glossy black Moroccan tile.
