Noted artist and art collector Hunt Slonem is relocating his studio and offices to Sunset Park from Hudson Yards.

Peter Thorsen represented the landlord in-house, while Cushman & Wakefield’s Carri Lyon represented the tenant, the New York Post reported. Asking rents are as high as the low-$20s per square foot.

Slonem’s studio has also previously operated out of 545 West 45th Street, 303 West 10th Street and the Starrett-Lehigh Building. [NYP, 2nd]Mark Maurer
