Richard Neutra Schiff HouseMid Century Art could not believe our luck when the Richard Neutra Schiff House purchased some Mid Century Art Supergraphics.
We consider the architect Richard Neutra one the godfathers of the California Mid-Century Modern Design movement. "The architect, Richard Neutra, was a celebrity in his own lifetime, and among the most esteemed of the high modernists. He worked for Erich Mendelsohn, for Frank Lloyd Wright, and briefly with Rudolph Schindler. He made the cover of Time Magazine in the forties, and might be one of the only prominent architects ever to build a drive-in church. Perhaps most remarkably, Ayn Rand wrote the screenplay to The Fountainhead whilst living in a house designed by Neutra." |
San Jose Mercury News"After William Schiff and his wife, Ilise, fled Berlin to escape Naziism in the 1930s, they commissioned expatriate Austrian architect Richard Neutra to create a duplex for them in San Francisco. Now the Schiff home, Neutra and other designers are being celebrated in "Designing Home: Jews and Midcentury Modernism," a wide-ranging exhibition at the Contemporary Jewish Museum. "

Sunset Magazine"It's hard to tell that this two-unit row house in San Francisco's Marina District was built in 1938. With its elegant lines, open plan, and floor-to-ceiling steel-framed windows, the look is strikingly clean and contemporary. And no wonder: The house was designed by Richard Neutra, one of America's foremost modern architects and the creator of some of the most iconic residences in the West.'
