Despite achieving international acclaim, Shapiro remained rooted in New York City throughout his life. He maintained a studio in Long Island City, to which his Lenox Hill home provided easy access. The artistic duo didn\u2019t count themselves among the city\u2019s \u201cUpper East siders,\u201d Angelo said, but Shapiro and Phelan found the space at 130 E. 67th St. appealing and unique.<\/p>\n
The 1907-era building has attracted influential and creative residents for decades, from a Rockefeller heir to the designer-duo behind of the iconic subway map, Massimo and Lella Vignelli.<\/p>\n
Shapiro and Phelan purchased their duplex in the early 2000s, according to Angelo, although public records are scarce and their original purchase price is unknown. The pair undertook a massive renovation of the home, transforming the bulk of the second floor into a massive primary suite, and installing new windows, walls and brass fixtures.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe hardware on everything is amazing and substantial,\u201d Angelo said. <\/p>\n

The new listing has already attracted eagle-eyed buyers, Angelo said, with its first day of showings hosting four tours. <\/p>\n
\u201cThey did [the renovation] 20-plus years ago, and it looks fantastic,\u201d Angelo said.<\/p>\n
Double-height windows light up the property\u2019s massive living room, which features one of the home\u2019s three woodburning fireplaces. The other two are located in the large master suite and the downstairs library.<\/p>\n
The first floor includes a chef\u2019s kitchen, a dining area, a den, a bedroom suite and the library, according to the listing. <\/p>\n

In a conversation with the New York Times a year before his death, Shapiro said that \u201cevery form is loaded with the psychology of its maker.\u201d His home was evidently no exception. The co-op apartment still held much of Shapiro\u2019s art collection the first time Angelo saw it, she told The Post, including a giant Jasper Johns painting.<\/p>\n
Angelo said the home \u201clends itself to showing off a lot of art, not just on the walls, but in the space.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A legendary American sculptor\u2019s Upper East Side aerie is on the market for $4.75 million.
