High in the Hollywood Hills on Blue Heights Drive sits one of Richard Neutra's most significant residential works, the Galka Scheyer House. Completed in 1934, the house that served as both home and gallery for one of the most influential art dealers of the 20th century. Galka Scheyer was a German-American art dealer who became the exclusive American representative of "The Blue Four"—the Bauhaus-influenced group consisting of Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, Lyonel Feininger, and Alexej von Jawlensky.
Through her teaching, lectures, and advocacy, Scheyer had a direct and measurable influence on young American artists, making her house a key landmark in the cultural history not just of Los Angeles, but of the United States as a whole. Recently acquired by a German art collector, the house has been transformed into an artist residency program, continuing Scheyer's legacy of fostering cultural exchange.
This tour offers a rare opportunity to experience a private residence that typically remains closed to the public, guided by experts who understand both its architectural significance and its crucial role in the development of Los Angeles as a cultural destination.
This exclusive L.A. Forum tour will be led by three distinguished experts who bring unique perspectives to the Scheyer House story:
