Art-collecting billionaire businessman Peter Brant paid $27 million — $2 million above the $25 million asking price — for an East Village home and studio where the late artist and composer Walter De Maria lived and worked until his death last year, according to city property records.
An empty, 7,920 square foot lot at 418 East 6th St. is included in the deal. Both are zoned for residential or community usage.
Brant, who is also the publisher of Interview and Art in America, is married to supermodel Stephanie Seymour.
The incredible space maintains its industrial origins and would make a great exhibit space.
