Artist Klaus Rinke’s L.A. Home and Studio Has Already Found a Buyer

After hitting the market May 11 for nearly $3.5 million, a classic white home in Los Angeles featuring a locally famous sculptural cactus garden has already gone under contract.

Klaus Rinke, who died earlier this year at age 86, long called the 1907 Craftsman-style cottage home. Records show the pioneering conceptual artist purchased the place in the artsy, seaside community of Venice in late 1987 for just $175,000, later adding a massive, attached art studio.

Kelly deLaat and Rachelle Rosten of Douglas Elliman hold the listing, which is being marketed as a “compelling development or expansion canvas.”

A bohemian-style living space showcases rich wood floors and a built-in sofa beneath framed artwork.
