Keith Haring Did the Walls First: A Tribeca Loft Where the Art Comes With the Deed

Half of Palm Beach still keeps a place in Manhattan, and most of Naples will tell you, at length, why it gave one up. Here is a listing that might reopen the argument. A Tribeca loft laid out over three floors, the kind New Yorkers call a maisonette, is on the market at $25 million, and its chief attraction is not the square footage but a mural Keith Haring painted on the premises in his early years. The rooms were once used by the School of Visual Arts as exhibition space, which explains how a working artist's hand ended up on a residential wall. In Miami, a Haring is something you fly in for the fairs and hang over a sofa on Brickell. In this apartment, the Haring is the architecture, and it stays exactly where he left it. A buyer takes the stairs, the ceilings, and a piece of downtown that no crate can carry south.
