The Roy Lichtenstein Foundation Sells Its West Village Townhouse
Briefly

Roy Lichtenstein's legacy is intertwined with his wife Dorothy, who dedicated decades to preserving his work and managing his artistic estate, leading to the sale of their assets.
The townhouse at 739 Washington is a historical gem, built in 1845, and reflects a simple architectural style that has remained relatively unchanged over time, according to Landmarks Commission.
After Dorothy's passing, the foundation moved next door into 739 Washington, a decision that coincided with her offer of the former studio to the Whitney for their Independent Study Program.
Even with modern renovations, the townhouse remains a series of smaller rooms rather than an expansive open layout, indicative of its historical significance amidst the evolving real estate landscape.
