"Mark Rothko and his first wife, Edith Sachar, put down roots in a small apartment within a Greek Revival townhouse in Manhattan's East Village neighborhood in the 1930s. There, the late abstract expressionist famously known for his color field technique created the painting titled 'Thru the Window.'"
"After a fire destroyed the top floor of the prewar dwelling in 2022, the vacant and gutted structure hit the market the following year for the first time in over five decades. Michael Auriemma, the retired principal of an international consulting firm, came along and scooped it up soon after for nearly $3.7 million."
"Now, almost two years later, the circa 1853 brownstone has emerged as a boutique two-unit condominium dubbed the Rothko House, with its triplex penthouse coming up for sale at $6.2 million."
Mark Rothko and Edith Sachar lived in a Manhattan apartment in the 1930s, where Rothko created 'Thru the Window.' The building later sold for $45,000 in the 1970s. After a fire in 2022, the gutted structure was purchased for nearly $3.7 million by Michael Auriemma, who renovated it into a two-unit condominium called the Rothko House. The triplex penthouse is now listed for $6.2 million, featuring modern interiors and skyline views, including the Freedom Tower.
