Anish Kapoor asks $17.75M for his NYC home
You may have never seen the striking sculptural works of Anish Kapoor with your own eyes — but you've certainly seen them on Instagram. Kapoor is known for Chicago's 'Cloud Gate' bean sculpture — a shiny sight for any tourist visiting the Windy City, which often makes its way online — as well as New York's own version, which is at the base of the 57-story 56 Leonard St. Now the Mumbai-born British artist is re-listing his home at that very Tribeca tower — featuring abundant light flooding in from its floor-to-ceiling windows on the 47th floor. 6 Anish Kapoor.

The elegant home opens from a private elevator landing, and features high ceilings, stunning views and three private outdoor spaces. And it's all in a building designed by world-renowned architects Herzog & de Meuron. Other perks include a great room with 12-foot ceilings, a fireplace and an open chef's kitchen. The main bedroom corner suite opens to a terrace, and comes with an oversized walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath in travertine and marble with radiant-heated floors. Building amenities, along with the Kapoor sculpture at the building's base, include an indoor lap pool with a sundeck, a gym, a screening room, a residents' lounge, a private dining room and a children's playroom. The listing brokers are Krista Nickols and Martin Garcia, of Serhant.
