You Can Live in an Art Dealer’s Brooklyn Townhouse

January 25, 2017 by Marion Maneker

DiDonna living room

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).
