Download IPFS

The Southampton, New York, estate of renowned pop artist Roy Lichtenstein has been reduced in price by $2 million, now listed at $17.95 million. The historic property, located on Gin Lane, was first placed on the market in September 2024 for $19.95 million and is being offered for sale for the first time since Lichtenstein purchased it in 1970.

The 1.9-acre estate includes a 19th-century main house and a standalone studio where the artist worked. Originally built in 1897 as a carriage house, the property was expanded and updated under the stewardship of Roy and Dorothy Lichtenstein. The couple bought the estate in 1970 and retained ownership until their passing—Roy Lichtenstein in 1997 and Dorothy Lichtenstein in July 2024. The home was listed for sale two months after her death.

Spanning 5,825 square feet, the three-story main residence features five bedrooms, with four offering ocean views. The first floor includes living, dining, and great rooms, as well as an eat-in kitchen, library, and sunroom leading to one of three brick patios. A double-decker rooftop terrace provides additional outdoor living space, while perennial gardens surround the property. A private pathway offers deeded access to the nearby beach.

The standalone studio has remained unchanged over the years, preserving the artist’s creative workspace. Roy Lichtenstein, a leading figure in the 1950s and 1960s pop art movement, is widely recognized for his comic strip-inspired works and bold graphic style.

Following Dorothy Lichtenstein’s passing, her estate has also sold much of the couple’s art collection and personal items through auctions at Sotheby’s and Bonhams. These sales included works by artists such as Henri Matisse and Yoko Ono, along with household furnishings.

Gin Lane, where the estate is located, is a historic street known for its exclusive residences and proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. The area, first developed for vacation homes in the late 19th century, remains one of Southampton’s most sought-after enclaves.

The listing is managed by Harald Grant and Bruce Grant of Sotheby’s International Realty – Southampton Brokerage. They were not immediately available for comment.

With its price now reduced, the estate offers prospective buyers a rare opportunity to acquire a property that combines historical charm, artistic significance, and premium coastal access in one of New York’s most prestigious seaside communities.
