Stephan Von Huene Studio

Stephan von Huene lived and worked in Pasadena in the 1960s, and in the earlier part of the decade had a studio at this location. He later moved to an Art Nouveau-style wooden house elsewhere in Pasadena where he would develop his kinetic sound sculptures and even incorporate parts of the house into these works.
