Join Art After Five Coordinator and celebrated artist Linda Kramer for a tour of a home and collection, that is set on five and a half wooded acres in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Milwaukee architect Tom Ela designed this home to blend with its woodland surroundings.  The collection includes paintings, drawings and prints by artists such as Andy Warhol, Alex Katz, Philip Pearlstein and Robert Arnason with a focus on Chicago Imagist works on paper by Jim Nutt, Gladys Nilsson, Roger Brown, Karl Wirsum, Ray Yoshida and Barbara Rossi.  A large group of works by American self-taught artists includes works by Felipe Archuleta, Thornton Dial, Rev. Josephus Farmer, Howard Finster, Lee Godie, Charles Steffen, Simon Sparrow, Edgar Tolson, Joseph Yoakum, Eugene von Bruenchenhein and others.

 

Note the house is a bit of a walk from the street, please let us know if you need assistance when you RSVP.
