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.
The listing represents the end of a significant chapter in New York's art world, as the townhouse was both a family home and a commercial gallery space for one of the city's most respected dealers. The property's future remains uncertain—it could become a private residence again or continue as a commercial art gallery. The sale underscores the ongoing transformation of the Upper East Side's gallery district, where longtime institutions are being replaced by luxury real estate or new cultural ventures. Mnuchin's legacy as a Goldman Sachs partner turned art dealer who championed abstract expressionist and contemporary artists is now being dispersed through both the auction block and this real estate sale.
