The former New York City home and studio of pop art icon Andy Warhol is currently up for sale—at an exorbitant US$5.8 million.
Located at 1342 Lexington Avenue in the Carnegie Hill neighborhood of the Big Apple, the spacious 3,072-square-foot townhouse was purchased by Warhol for a mere US$60,000 in 1959, and he stayed there with his mother for 15 years.
During this period of occupation was when the late artist created some of his most famous works—including his renowned Campbell’s Soup Cans (1962), dollar bills and comic strips.
Its main floor was used as his painting studio, while the top two floors offer quiet respite with four bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths.
Since Warhol’s move from the residence, the townhouse has since passed through two different owners and gone through small restorations and updates—such as fixtures, interior finishes and an added a garden-level kitchen.
Unfortunately, for undying fans, the place does not come with the artist’s art.
