Anna Weyant Is Selling Her Classic Six for $3.5 Million

Painter Anna Weyant has listed her Fifth Avenue classic six, which she bought four years ago. Photo-Illustration: Curbed; Photos: Getty Images, Google Maps The Canadian artist Anna Weyant, who paints old master–style portraits of millennial women, is perhaps best known for her swift ascent — from selling $400 drawings off a picnic blanket at a Lower East Side gallery in 2019 to having her work trade at auction for $1.6 million the following year. Her real estate has also soared in value: Back in 2022, the 27-year-old was painting from her living-room studio separated from the rest of her Upper West Side one-bedroom by a curtain. Four years later, she purchased a classic six in an Upper East Side co-op for $3.15 million, according to city records. This week, Weyant listed the apartment at 1140 Fifth Avenue, asking $3.49 million. The living room has a wood-burning fireplace, wood paneling, and what look to be several very nice paintings, as seen in listing photos.

The listing is held by Max Nehrig of Corcoran. (Neither Weyant nor Nehrig responded to a request for comment.) Weyant closed on the apartment shortly after breaking up with her very famous boyfriend and gallerist Larry Gagosian. (Gagosian has continued representing Weyant after their split, and she used the gallery’s Madison Avenue address on her deed.) Their pairing was the talk of the field for a while: As a New Yorker profile on Gagosian put it, Weyant was “half a century younger” than her boyfriend, in addition to being a rising star in the art industry. The two met when Weyant was already well on her way to fame — he viewed her work at her previous gallery and asked her to dinner at his place in Beverly Hills. “She wanted to know if I had any gin,” he told The Wall Street Journal. “That’s one of my favorite things to drink.” A classic six that faces Central Park, the apartment has a dining area, as seen in listing photos, and depending on the owner configuration, two or three bedrooms, in addition to three baths. Photo: Corcoran When Weyant bought the apartment, it had lovely prewar bones with herringbone floors, oak paneling, and a wood-burning fireplace, although the decor was a bit fogy-ish. Her own furnishings and finishes are elegant and, not unlike her paintings, old-world but not old-fashioned. (A Vogue article written shortly after she moved in described the apartment as being “full of sunlight” but “not much furniture” besides an antique easel and a Regency-era circular dining table.) The primary bedroom has upholstered walls, Doris Leslie Blau wool carpeting, and a custom-fitted closet housing what appear to be several Hermès bags. The second bedroom has hand-painted de Gournay wallpaper. There are paneled walls, beamed ceilings, and 19th-century gilt-bronze sconces. The kitchen and baths are fitted with marble and high-end fixtures, and the walls are, as you might expect, decorated with fine paintings and drawings, including what looks like at least one of her own pieces in the library. The apartment has a subtly luxurious renovation with oak floors, wall-to-wall wool carpets, custom closets, and hand-painted wallpaper. Windows look into the trees of Central Park.
