Art and real estate go hand-in-hand, so this listing from Curbed about the Trump Tower apartment of a paper company heir, Drew Aaron, and his wife, Hana Soukupova, shouldn’t surprise anyone with its numerous Warhols and a smattering of Basquiat and other artists. What’s interesting is that the owners amassed their art collection quickly–acquiring more than 100 paintings in the trough of the art market from 2008-2010–through their friendships with various members of the Mugrabi and Brant clans.
The owners, Drew Aaron and his wife Hana Soukupova are outspoken art collectors, with over100 pieces by Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst, Eric Freeman, Basquiat, David LaChapelle and Gretchen Ryan to name a few. So what’s the apartment like? Well, it’s got 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms spread over 2,871 square feet. Think someone with a nice art collection of their own who appreciates an insane view will pony up the $14,950,000? If they sell even close to ask, they’ll make a nice profit since they picked it up for $6,200,000 back in 2008. $8,750,000 certainly can buy a lot of art to add to the collection.
