The New York City duplex of artists Joel Shapiro<\/a> and Ellen Phelan has hit the market for $4.75 million. Constructed in 1907, this historic building is located at 130 East 67th Street, on Manhattan\u2019s Upper East Side. The duplex underwent a renovation in the early 2000s that included the addition of steel details, beveled glass casement doors and windows, an eye-catching winding staircase, and carefully selected hardware. The second floor was transformed into an expansive primary suite, and new windows, walls, and brass fixtures were installed.<\/p>\n

Other design elements include 20-foot ceilings, a sprawling living room, original double-height windows, a chef\u2019s kitchen, a butler\u2019s pantry, three wood-burning fireplaces, and a walk-in temperature-controlled professional-grade wine cellar. In total, the Lenox Hill<\/a> residence features three bedrooms, two full baths, and one partial bath.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When one of the listing agents, Eileen Angelo, first saw the duplex, many pieces from Shapiro\u2019s own art collection were on display, such as a sizable painting by Jasper Johns<\/a>. Angelo told the New York Post<\/a> that this home \u201clends itself to showing off a lot of art, not just on the walls, but in the space.\u201d The property is listed by Angelo and Max Collins of Sotheby\u2019s International Realty<\/a> \u2013 East Side Manhattan Brokerage.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Shapiro died at the age of 83 this past June, and is survived by his wife, Ellen Phelan, a fellow artist, and his daughter, Ivy Shapiro, a Brooklyn-based art consultant. The Pace Gallery<\/a> described Shapiro as \u201cone of America\u2019s most renowned artists and a major figure in the history of sculpture in the 20th century, who also worked across drawing and printmaking, pushed the boundaries of sculptural form over the past six decades with a body of work distinguished by its dynamism, complexity, and formal elegance.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Throughout his life, Shapiro created over 30 large-scale commissions, including \u201cLoss and Regeneration.\u201d In 2001, five large sculptures by Shapiro were displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art\u2019s Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden. He had a studio in Long Island City, not far from this duplex.<\/p>\n
