Anna Weyant’s Upper East Side Apartment Hits the Market for $3.5 M.

Canadian painter Anna Weyant‘s Upper East Side co-op hit the market this week for $3.49 million, Curbed reports. She purchased the apartment in 2024, shortly after breaking up with then-boyfriend and gallerist Larry Gagosian, who was some 50 years her senior.

Weyant had a quick trajectory to art world fame, from selling $450 drawings and paintings in 2019 to having her work hit the auction block for $1.6 million in 2022. At 27, she became the youngest artist on Gagosian’s roster, which coincided with her personal relationship with the gallery’s founder. The pair was a hot topic, with mention of how they met included in Larry Gagosian’s New Yorker profile, which also noted that Weyant was “half a century younger” than him, in addition to being a rising art world painter. Even after the pair romantically split, Weyant has remained exclusively represented by Gagosian.

Echoes of Weyant’s paintings of women in muted tones can be seen throughout the interior of her now-for-sale apartment. Earlier works tinging with an obscure kind of darkness that hinted at tortured psychological states have all but disappeared from her work and living quarters in lieu of an elegant old world charm.

The fourth-floor, prewar co-op apartment, for sale with Max Nehrig of Corcoran, boasts Central Park views from its eight-by-eight-foot windows. It also contains herringbone floors, oak paneling, 19th-century gilt bronze sconces, and a wood-burning fireplace, classic pre-war features that have only been enhanced by Weyant’s own old-world furnishings and finishes.

The two-bedroom apartment features Doris Leslie Blau wool carpeting, with upholstered walls, a custom-fitted closet, and a marble-clad ensuite bathroom in the primary. A second bedroom includes hand-painted de Gournay wallpaper, wool carpeting, built-in storage, a large closet, and a semi-private guest bath. The kitchen and baths are also fitted with marble and high-end fixtures. Along the walls throughout are artworks, including what looks like an Alex Katz print in the entryway, a Richard Avedon photograph in the library, and at least one of Weyant’s own pieces, a 2018 untitled painting in the dining room [please double check me, thank you].

The building, 1140 Fifth Avenue, was designed in a restrained Renaissance style by architect-developer Frederick Fillmore French and completed in 1922.

Weyant purchased the apartment for $3.15 million, according to city records, in 2024, shortly after breaking up with Gagosian. A Vogue article written that year, some months after she moved in, characterized the apartment as “full of sunlight” but “not much furniture,” aside from an antique easel and a Regency-era circular dining table that has since clearly expanded. It is unclear why Weyant is selling her apartment or where she plans on moving next.
