Property Description
The Arensberg Estate, William Lee Woollett with later contributions by Richard Neutra, Gregory Ain, Henry Palmer Sabin and John Lautner (The only project on record where all these architectural giants have collaborated). Avant-garde art patrons Walter and Louise Arensberg purchased the estate in 1927, transforming it into a modern art museum. Los Angeles Magazine acknowledges that this home represented the first modern art museum in L.A., decades before LACMA and MOCA. The Arensbergs hosted artist exchanges and exhibited prized works by Marcel Duchamp, Rene Magritte, Salvador Dali, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso and Piet Mondrian to name a few. The estate and its art history is the subject of a Getty published book in 2020, "Hollywood Arensberg". Sabin's 1928 Neo-classical entry pavilion was designed to house Brancusi's *Princess X* and *Arch*. Neutra's 1933 sunlit gallery showcased Duchamp's stained glass and other artworks. Ain's 1936 second-floor gallery introduced a floating soffit ceiling for displaying fine rugs and paintings. In 1954, after Walter Arensberg's death, the estate passed to art dealer Earl Stendahl, who hired Lautner to design a new driveway and carport. Now a designated Los Angeles Historic Monument (#994) and currently protected under the Mills Act, the estate
