Richard Neutra, Northridge, Los Angeles, USA, 1935
OfHouses guest curated by Benedict Clouette & Marlisa Wise (Interval-Projects): “Neutra designed this house in the San Fernando Valley for Josef von
Sternberg. Sternberg, director of Der blaue Engel and Marlene Dietrich’s
sometime lover, was, like Neutra, part of the German-speaking emigre
community in southern California, though he came to the US as a
teenager, and had worked as a director between the US and Germany before
the war. The house was eventually bought by Ayn Rand before being sold
and demolished in the 1970s.“ (Photos: © Julius Shulman / The Getty Research Institute.)
