"The Scheyer house reborn" by Alex Ross

In April of last year, I sent a note to Benno Herz, the program director of the Thomas Mann House in Los Angeles, asking if he knew that the Galka Scheyer House had come on the market. This is the hilltop gallery-home that Richard Neutra built in 1934 for Scheyer, a crucial figure in the propagation of modernism on the West Coast. I'd visited the house the previous year, at the invitation of its then owner, the late Frank M. Devine, and registered its significance.

"A Hollywood Hills Gallery-Home is reborn as an artist’s residency" by Matt Stromberg

Beatriz Cortez, who lost her house in the LA fires, is the first unofficial resident of Blue Heights Arts and Culture at the Galka Scheyer House. In 1933, German-Jewish artist, art collector, and art dealer Galka Scheyer commissioned architect Richard Neutra to build her a house in the Hollywood Hills. Scheyer had moved to the United States in 1924 with the goal of promoting European modern art, specifically a group of artists known as the Blue Four: Lyonel Feininger, Wassily Kandinsky, Alexej von Jawlensky, and Paul Klee.
