Photographer Glen Wexler lists his Los Angeles home.
The renowned photographer and director, who is recognized for hundreds of album covers and for creating elaborately staged digital photo-compositions of improbable situations for Van Halen, Michael Jackson, Black Sabbath, ZZ Top and Rush, has his work displayed in the two-story gallery showroom upon entry. A true artist, Wexler takes comfort in his extraordinary work sanctuary, providing the ultimate live-work balance. Taking from his artwork, the home design compliments his inventive spirit and influences further productivity and creativity by way of dramatic ceilings and sun-soaked interiors with soaring views. As it happens, none other than Glen’s father, celebrated Mid-Century architect Donald Wexler, FAIA, crafted the compound to utter perfection.
The elder Wexler, a protege of Richard Neutra, is well-known for his successful practice in Palm Springs for almost six decades. Even so, several of his projects are internationally acclaimed including the Palm Springs International Airport, the Dinah Shore residence, and the Alexander prefab steel houses known for their iconic folded-plate roof designs. While his work is skewed toward horizontal emphasis construction, he boldly ventured out of Palm Springs and designed vertically to create this awe-inspired space suited for his son.
An exciting and unique retreat, the quintessential haven for one whose perfect home acquisition is a distinctive work of art. Having both ample workspace and family-oriented organization, the Wexler house is the refuge your discriminating clients have long sought after. Must see to believe.
