Gatewood lived most of his life in San Francisco, purchasing an old Victorian mansion in the Page Street district in 1982 which, over the next 12 years, was transformed into an elegant residence and studio. In the tradition of Whistler and Klimt, Gatewood incorporated his art in an application of paint, inks, gold leaf, metallic foils, rice paper screens and dimensional work throughout the mansion's architectural detail, enhancing the period decoration and creating a unified artistic vision.
This home is for sale now for the first time in 24 years, asking $3.7 million. The resulting interior, still present, evokes the meticulous craftsmanship, wild creativity and over-the-top opulence of San Francisco's past.
