T
he late Françoise Gilot's West 67th Street duplex, a live-in studio that was home to the renowned French artist for decades, has hit the market for $4.3 million. The co-op unit boasts impressive barrel-vaulted ceilings, reaching over 17 feet high, and features a flexible three- to four-bedroom layout.

    Gilot, known internationally for her watercolors and ceramics, used the loft-like space as a studio where she created many of her notable works, including "Adam Forcing Eve to Eat an Apple" and the "Labyrinth Series." The artist's life was marked by high-profile relationships, including a nearly decade-long partnership with Pablo Picasso, whom she met in 1943 when she was just 21.

    Gilot went on to marry Jonas Salk, the pioneer of the polio vaccine, and settled in New York City until her passing at 101 years old in 2023. The duplex is being sold by her estate and features a woodburning fireplace, oversized north-facing windows, and a two-tiered living area with ample space and natural light.

    The building's unique layout, which includes wide open studio-like spaces and large windows, was a draw for generations of artists, including Marcel Duchamp and Norman Rockwell. The property is one of three units up for sale in the building, all of which are estate sales.
