Available for the first time in since its construction over a century ago, the studio was designed by delano & aldrich for gertrude vanderbilt whitney, one of america's first female sculptors and founder of the whitney museum of art. It was here that she worked and played. Converted to a home by her granddaughter in 1982. The studio is surrounded by paintings and sculpture from leading artists of the day. The main studio room serves as the nucleus of the home and is a grand 40 by 60 feet with a 20 foot ceiling and flooded with light via a massive north facing skylight. Truly, a livable work of art! Please visit the studio on instagram: @thevanderbiltwhitneystudio there is tunnel from basement to a separate 4 car garage, a 2 bedroom, 2 bath cottage, and a small greenhouse.
