Robert Mnuchin’s Storied Art Gallery Townhouse Lists for $35 Million

The six-story, 17,600-square-foot Upper East Side townhouse that housed Robert Mnuchin's blue-chip gallery for over three decades has been listed for $35 million. Mnuchin and his second wife Adriana bought the 106-year-old property in 1983, and after an 18-month renovation, they lived there for 12 years before the gallery occupied the space from 1992 until Mnuchin's death in 2024. The gallery hosted major shows for artists including Willem de Kooning, Jeff Koons, Ed Clark, and Mary Lovelace O'Neal. The listing comes just months after the announcement that Mnuchin Gallery would close, and four months after Sotheby's sold $166.3 million worth of art from Mnuchin's collection.
