A 5,000-square-foot duplex in New York that’s been the showcase for a huge collection of Outsider Art is hitting the market for the first time in a quarter-century.
It’s being sold by the sons of the late art-collecting couple Ronald and June Shelp. The two have listed it with Philip and Julie Gaynor of Brown Harris Stevens for $6.25 million. “My mother was the guiding force behind the creation of the apartment,” says the Shelps’ elder son, Kent. “My father was probably more the driving force behind the art.”
