For many rich people, decorating their home also has a cost for having the house according to what you have paid for it. But for those who can buy this spectacular loft in TriBeCa (New York) for 7.9 million dollars, about 6.5 million euros, they will also have a treasure on their walls: a mural painted by him artist Keith Haring in the late 70s.
Haring was an icon of graffiti, the pop generation, and street culture in New York, especially in the 1980s. The mural dates back to Haring’s days as a student at the New York School of Visual Arts, in 1979. 20 years ago, architects Todd Ernst and Frank Servidio were designing an apartment at 260 West Broadway, and they learned that the school had used the space as a gallery.
And exactly, behind a huge closet they found a work of art. “It was like discovering an Egyptian tomb,” Ernst told a magazine when the apartment first came on the market in 2008. “The fact that it survived is amazing. It’s made from shoe polish and alcohol, and it’s soluble in water. “
The reform carried out in this apartment was spectacular and now it has been updated to be on the market again. The loft has two bedrooms and four bathrooms, kitchen-dining room, living room with eight meter ceilings, games room, gym and office among other things.
