Listed for $1.9 million with Compass, the loft at 46 Carmine Street in Manhattan's West Village was home to Jackson Pollock starting in 1932. He lived there alongside his brother Charles and sister-in-law Elizabeth. This 64-square-meter space, situated on the top floor of a Federal-style townhouse dating back to 1827, became part of the Greenwich Village Historic District in 2010. The updated apartment boasts four skylights, an open kitchen, and a refurbished fireplace. Fergus Hurley, the current owner, acquired it in 2021 for approximately $1.3 million. The sale coincides with the Metropolitan Museum of Art's upcoming exhibition 'Krasner and Pollock: Past Continuous,' scheduled from October 4, 2026, to January 31, 2027.
