Welcome to a fantastic sale on the beautiful East Side of Milwaukee! This historic home was once the residence of Milwaukee portrait artist Louise Lemp Pabst, of the famous Pabst family. The recent owners were huge supporters of the arts and were heavily involved with the Milwaukee Art Museum, as well as the Chicago Institute of Art. As patrons and friends of many well-known mid-century artists, the owners filled this house with an astounding amount of beautiful and important works. Artists here represent the vanguard of modern mid-century art emerging first, during the 1950s and later, into the post-modern trends of the 80s and 90s.
There are also a few stunning pieces of mid-century furniture design, partially curated by Nicholas Chaparos, who was a member of the family and worked closely with Charles Eames in the late 1950s. Rounding out the sale are a selection of handsome Persian rugs, Native American pieces, vintage home decor, books, kitchen items and more.
