Keith Haring Student Mural Anchors $25 Million Tribeca Loft Listing
A stunning triplex maisonette in the American Thread Building, located in Tribeca, is up for grabs at $25 million. This impressive 8,000-square-foot space features a striking hand-painted mural by Keith Haring, which dates back to 1979 and was created while he was a student at the School of Visual Arts. The black-and-white piece, made with shoe polish and alcohol, covers various surfaces, including walls and beams. After being hidden during the early 1980s when a restaurant took over, it was rediscovered in 2007, prompting architect Todd Ernst to liken the find to discovering an Egyptian tomb. Owner Adam Zoia, who bought the place in 2021, spent two years renovating it to preserve the mural, confirmed by the Keith Haring Foundation. The property, listed by Trove Partners at Compass, includes multiple bedrooms, bathrooms, and luxurious amenities.
