The trend toward selling property staged with art meets the need for an art dealer to relocate his family as the real estate site, Curbed, features a prominent dealer’s Brooklyn townhouse:

The current owner is Emmanuel Di Donna, a former Sotheby’s exec who runs an eponymous gallery on the Upper East Side. That explains the collection of modern and contemporary art in the listings photos: pieces by Marilyn Minter, and Tim Noble and Sue Webster, among others, are casually placed around the house like it’s no big thing (and if you’re a former Sotheby’s exec, it probably isn’t).
