An exceptional early work by artist Keith Haring, painted in 1979, is now available for purchase within a magnificent $25 million triplex maisonette in New York City. The artwork, an unsigned mural featuring Haring's distinctive graphic style, was discovered in 2007.
Located in the historic American Thread Building at 260 West Broadway, the 8,000-square-foot residence boasts seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms. The mural, authenticated by the Keith Haring Foundation, is integrated into the building's iron columns and beams, making it impossible to remove.
The owner, Adam Zoia, meticulously renovated the 21-room loft over two years, adding amenities like a sauna and screening room while carefully protecting the Haring artwork. A custom bar was built around it, further highlighting its unique presence.
This site-specific piece represents one of Haring's earliest and most remarkable creations. Its integration into the property means its value is intrinsically linked to the loft itself, with art experts noting its priceless historical significance and the responsibility of future owners to act as its guardians.
