Anna Weyant Lists Her Upper Fifth Avenue Classic Six for $3.5 Million

On a crisp Tuesday in late September, Upper East Side real estate watchers took notice: Anna Weyant, the acclaimed painter represented by Gagosian, has put her classic six co-op on the market for $3.5 million. The apartment, perched on a high floor overlooking Central Park, is nestled in one of the limestone prewar buildings that define upper Fifth Avenue’s old-world glamour.

Weyant’s decision to sell comes just two years after she acquired the apartment, a move that turned heads among both art world insiders and the city’s ever-curious real estate crowd. The home’s bones fit the classic six blueprint—gracious foyer, formal dining room, generous living space, and two bedrooms, plus a staff room—while the interiors bear the mark of a contemporary artist’s sensibility. Brokers say the unit’s triple exposures and original moldings are drawing as much attention as its provenance.

On Monday morning, the building’s doorman fielded a steady stream of agents and prospective buyers, most eager for a glimpse of the apartment’s sunlit salon, which Weyant converted into a studio during her tenure. The property’s asking price reflects the enduring appeal of Fifth Avenue addresses north of 86th Street, where inventory remains tight and demand for classic layouts persists, even as downtown lofts and towers compete for the city’s creative class.

Weyant, whose paintings have been the subject of recent solo shows and brisk auction sales, has kept her next move under wraps. Her listing, however, is already prompting chatter about the shifting tastes of young artists handling both the spotlight and the city’s rarefied real estate market. As open houses ramp up later this week, the intersection of art, money, and Manhattan living remains as compelling as ever.
