The Mary Nohl Art Environment (also called the Fox Point Art Yard, Fox Point Witch's house and Mary Nohl's house) is a residence in the Milwaukee suburb of Fox Point, Wisconsin. The property, which is filled with folk art created by artist Mary Nohl (1914–2001), is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. After the death of her parents, a sizable inheritance left Mary Nohl the chance to create artworks. She used concrete and found objects such as driftwood, wire and glass to build sculptures. In addition, the exterior and interior are colorfully decorated. Hundreds of works have been cataloged. Following Nohl's death, the embellished home and sculpture garden were given to the Kohler Foundation for preservation.〔(Authors to Host a Book Signing )〕 In 2012, it was transferred to the John Michael Kohler Arts Center.〔(Owners seek input on Mary Nohl House )〕 After a fruitless, decade-long struggle with the residents of Fox Point to allow limited access by the public, the foundation decided to move the house and its art to a site in Sheboygan County. The house was to be dismantled, starting in the summer of 2014, and rebuilt, at a cost of between one and two million dollars, but the plan was recently canceled.〔(Mary Nohl House to Be Moved )〕 In addition to her home and artwork, her estate of over $11 million was left to the Greater Milwaukee Foundation, which administers the Mary Nohl Foundation to provide arts education for children, and the Mary Nohl Fellowship artists' scholarships among other activities.〔 A biography, ''Mary Nohl - Inside & Outside'', written and designed by Barbara Manger and Janine Smith, respectively, was published in 2008.〔 == Further reading == * * * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mary Nohl Art Environment」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
