Under $2 Million for the Village Rooms Jackson Pollock Once Called Home

A Manhattan apartment once lived in by Jackson Pollock is now for sale, with an asking price just short of $2 million. The home is in the West Village. Pollock lived there in the thirties, sharing it with his brother and his brother's wife. That was years before his name became shorthand for Abstract Expressionism, the American movement he helped shape. The sale is still ahead and no closing figure exists yet, so the only number on the record is the asking price. For anyone who follows the city's market, it is a rare listing that can say a painter of Pollock's importance once lived inside its walls.
