As noted by <em>Curbed<\/em>, \u201cUnlike other artists who showed at MoMA and sold at auction for hundreds of thousands, Frank made himself easy to find\u2014setting out a folding chair onto the sidewalk, often alongside a second seat for his wife, the sculptor June Leaf.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tFrank died in 2019, after a long life devoted to photography (most notably in his epochal 1959 photo book <em>The Americans<\/em>) and filmmaking (most notoriously in his never-officially-released 1972 Rolling Stones documentary <em>Cocksucker Blues<\/em>). Leaf passed away in 2024, a year before a retrospective at the NYU\u2019s Grey Art Museum paid tribute to her decades of work. She is best-known as a maker of dynamic figurative sculpture fashioned from wire and other materials.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tBelow, see some highlights from the listing for the townhouse from Corcoran real estate, which notes: \u201cCurrently configured as 2 residential units over an artist\u2019s studio, this mixed-use property will be delivered vacant.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"pmc-gallery-vertical\">\n<div class=\"c-gallery-vertical-loader u-gallery-app-shell-loader\">\n<ul class=\"pmc-fallback-list-items lrv-a-unstyle-list
