The Getty Residences (previously known as "Getty Station" or "Sheep Station") is a high-end luxury condominium located on the corner of 10th Avenue and 24th Street in Chelsea, Manhattan, New York City.[2] It was originally a Getty Oil gas station and was turned into a public art display (known as "Sheep Station") in 2013 after being purchased by developer Michael Shvo. It featured a display of Lalanne mouton sculptures created by François-Xavier Lalanne which were from Shvo's personal collection. It was also considered the largest display of such sculptures by Lalanne.[3]

The display was at the corner of 10th Avenue and 24th Street in Manhattan at the site of what originally a Getty Oil gas station. Shvo purchased the property in 2013 for $23.5 million with plans to turn it into a high end luxury condominiums.[4]

Shvo teamed up with Paul Kasmin Gallery for the installation. It began with small trees on the property before teaming up with François-Xavier Lalanne (who was represented by the gallery). Permission to use Lalanne's work was obtained from his widow, Claude Lalanne.[5]

15 of the sheep on display were from Shvo's personal collection with the remaining supplied by Kasmin. The grounds were transformed into a meadow by using gravel and grass, with the sheep positioned as if they were grazing in the meadow.[5]

The Getty Residences

The site was later developed into a high-end luxury condominium named The Getty Residences,[2] with Peter Marino designated as the architect for both the interior and exterior of the project.[6]

The property is the home of the Lehmann Maupin gallery[7] as well as a private museum owned by J. Tomilson Hill.[8] Maupin paid $27 million for the first and second floors of the building in 2018[9] with Hill purchasing the third and fourth floors in 2016.[10] The value of the Hill collection is said to be valued at $800 million.[10]

In 2018, the penthouse of the building was sold to Robert F. Smith for $59 million, making it the highest priced purchase on record in Manhattan.[11]
