Former Warhol loft is for a lease in SoHo

For the past 70 years, SoHo has been known for its art galleries and exhibitions. In the 1960s, lofts in SoHo became home to many artists looking for affordable housing. One of them was Andy Warhol. Now, the former Warhol studio located at 76 Wooster St is up for lease.

Andy Warhol produced most of his work in his studio known as The Factory. Between 1962 and 1984, the Factory had three different locations across Manhattan. First, the Factory was located at 231 East 47th Street. Next, it relocated to 33 Union Square West. Finally, in 1974, it moved to 860 Broadway at the north end of Union Square. Many prominent creatives, including David Bowie, Bob Dylan, and Madonna, often visited Warhol's Factory. At the Factory, Andy Warhol created his famous silkscreen paintings, hundreds of films and hosted multimedia concert events. 

The building located at 76 Wooster St has a total of 10,000 square feet and a massive skylight. The ground floor was once a host for Yoko Ono’s exhibition dedicated to the art of John Lennon. The loft was built in 1900. The 3-story building is surrounded by a variety of major retailers. It can be used as a commercial or office space. Follow the link to view the listing.
