\n\tThe Dallas home of art collectors Cindy and Howard Rachofsky remains available for sale, and for deep-pocked prospective buyers, there\u2019s some good news: The property is now available at a discount. That\u2019s also bad news for the Rachofskys, whose Richard Meier\u2013designed home has been on the market for months now.<\/p>\n
\n\tWhen the famed Rachofsky House first hit the market in October of last year, it was being sold for $23 million. But as the Dallas Business Journal<\/em> noted this week, it\u2019s now priced at $17.5 million. Despite being nearly 25 percent off from the original amount, that\u2019s still a pretty hefty sum when you think about it. (To wit, that means you could buy last night\u2019s record-breaking Alice Neel painting at Christie\u2019s three times over, and the Rachofsky House would still be more expensive.)<\/p>\n \n\tThe Rachofsky House was completed in 1996, and is located in Preston Hollow, a ritzy neighborhood that, as D Magazine<\/em> has noted, is \u201chome to many of the richest people in Dallas\u2014and a certain former president of the United States,\u201d none other than George W. Bush.<\/p>\n \n\tThe Rachofskys, for their part, are mainstays on the annual ARTnews<\/em> Top 200 Collectors list, appearing on it each edition since 2002. Pieces from their 800-work are on view in their home, as well as at the Warehouse, a Dallas art foundation that Howard shares with collector Thomas Hartland-Mackie, who himself appears on the Top 200 Collectors list alongside his wife Nasiba. The Rachofskys were previously known for hosting a gala in support of Two x Two, which supports AIDS- and art-focused initiatives in Dallas. They stopped hosting the event in 2024.<\/p>\n \n\tTheir decision to sell their home shocked the Dallas art world, leading Katya Kazakina to remark last year in Artnet News<\/em> that \u201can era is ending.\u201d Indeed, the Rachofskys have periodically sold big-ticket works at auction, including a Lucio Fontana painting that they consigned in 2024 to Sotheby\u2019s, where it was bought for $22 million. They have promised their collection to the Dallas Museum of Art, an institution they had a history of supporting.<\/p>\n \n\tHoward told Kazakina, \u201cAs you know, I am 81 years old, and so I\u2019ve been trying to deal with estate planning while taking care of the museum, as we have always done, along the way.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [analyse_source url=”https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/art-news\/news\/rachofsky-house-dallas-sale-discount-1234786079\/”]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [analyse_image type=”featured” src=”https:\/\/www.artnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/GettyImages-1054687360.jpg?w=1024″] The Dallas home of art collectors Cindy and Howard Rachofsky remains available for sale, and for deep-pocked prospective buyers, there\u2019s some good news: The property is now available at a discount.
