About Capricorn Hill Center For Surrealism

CAPRICORN HILL: THE MAX ERNST AND DOROTHEA TANNING ESTATE Welcome to Capricorn Hill in Sedona, Arizona—the legendary estate of surrealist masters Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning. This living masterpiece stands as a vital piece of global art history and tribute to the legacy of Surrealism. In 1946, Ernst and Tanning transformed a pristine hilltop in Sedona's red rock landscape into their creative sanctuary. More than a home, this estate became a deeply personal expression of their artistic partnership and revolutionary vision. Here, Ernst created his monumental sculpture "Capricorn" in 1947—a mystical guardian that has become one of the 20th century's most celebrated works. The bronze edition graces museums worldwide, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. A PROTECTED PORTAL TO ART HISTORY This property preserves the authentic creative environment where two legendary artists produced works now housed in over 60 museums globally. Dorothea Tanning's groundbreaking influence permeates every corner of the space she helped shape—her contribution as vital and enduring as Ernst's.
