An 11-unit apartment building on San Francisco’s Telegraph Hill, linked to artists Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, is listed for sale at about $8 million. The Art Moderne building, constructed in 1938, sits on a steep cliff and cascades down the hillside, offering bay views. Multiple sources describe the property as a rare architectural example that is difficult to replicate due to its distinctive site-specific construction.
The building is also noted for its connection to the couple’s life together in San Francisco. Sources say Kahlo and Rivera lived there, and that the location is tied to events in their relationship, including their remarriage. It is further presented as a place where Kahlo created artwork during her time at the property.
Both outlets characterize the listing as combining architectural significance with cultural and artistic history, reflecting the building’s status as a recognized landmark-style residence tied to internationally known figures.
