Art collector and gallerist Adam Lindemann, the owner of Andy Warhol’s former estate in Montauk, New York, is accepting offers in the ballpark of $65 million, the New York Post’s Jennifer Gould Keil reported.
“Celebrities are circling,” according to Gould Keil’s sources.
A representative for Lindemann at his art gallery, Venus Over Manhattan, didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider regarding the reported sale.

Lindemann purchased part of the estate — known as Eothen, or “from the east” — from former J. Crew CEO Mickey Drexler in 2015 for $48.7 million, according to Curbed.

“I knew Andy in the early 1980s as a very young man, and I’m a collector of his work,” Lindemann told Page Six at the time of the sale. “I’m very lucky to have this opportunity to live out this dream. It’s a work of art.”
The adjacent 24-acre horse farm is still owned by the Drexler family, Curbed reported.
Drexler listed the entire compound for $85 million, but Lindemann was only interested in purchasing the 5.7 acre estate once owned by Warhol, not the horse farm, according to Page Six.
