History 

In 1946 Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning moved to Sedona from New York, to buy land and build a house and studio. They picked a pristine property with hilltop views around the corner from what today is called Tlaquepaque in the heart of Sedona. In this inspirational location, they created paintings and sculptures that today are in over 60 museums around the world. Famous artists and friends in the artworld made pilgrimages to visit and stay in this surreal location in the beautiful southwest.
