Artist Anish Kapoor is selling his New York apartment at 56 Leonard Street in Tribeca for $17.75 million. The 3,576-square-foot unit on the 47th floor features four bedrooms, four-and-a-half bathrooms, private outdoor spaces, and a travertine marble bath. The building, designed by Herzog & de Meuron, houses a smaller version of Kapoor's famous sculpture Cloud Gate at its base. Kapoor purchased the apartment for roughly $14 million in 2016 and previously listed it for about $18 million last year. The listing is held by Serhant's Krista Nickols and Martin Garcia.
This sale matters because it offers a rare glimpse into the real estate holdings of one of the world's most prominent living artists, whose work commands high prices at auction and in public commissions. Kapoor's decision to sell comes amid a broader pattern of high-profile artist property transactions, including his 2021 listing of a London residence for $26 million and his recent purchase of an 18th-century Venetian palazzo for conversion into an exhibition space. The listing also highlights the intersection of art-world wealth and luxury real estate in New York's Tribeca neighborhood.
