Robert Louis Huber

Robert Louis Huber, a distinguished art dealer specializing in Pre-Columbian and Maya art, passed away peacefully on November 23, 2024, in St. Paul, Minnesota, with his son Michael by his side. He was 87 years old.

Born on September 3, 1937, to Vladislavia Cichochi and Edgar J. Huber, Bob grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he graduated from Pius XI Catholic High School. He then continued his education at St. Ambrose College in Davenport, Iowa.

Bob shared over 60 years of marriage and a dedicated professional life with his beloved wife, Marianne Huber, who preceded him in death. Together, they built a successful business as art dealers, working side-by-side almost every day. Their shared passion for Pre-Columbian art, particularly Maya, defined their careers. Their adventures and dedication to their field also included creating a documentary about the Cuna tribe.

Bob is survived by his devoted sons, Michael Robert Huber and Steven Louis Huber. He was preceded in death by his son, Edward Francis Huber, and his granddaughter, Alice. He is also survived by his cherished grandchildren, Jareth, Nicole, and Erik, and several great-grandchildren.

Robert will be remembered for his expertise, his unwavering dedication to his family and his business and his enduring partnership with Marianne.
