The Central Park West home and studio of Yasuhiro Wakabayashi, the late fashion photographer known as Hiro, has hit the market for $3.25 million.

Hiro died at age 90 in 2021, at his home in Bucks County, Pa.

This parlor-level maisonette duplex, at 50 Central Park West, had been in his possession for 45 years. Designers such as Halston and fashion models were often in and out of the studio, which had its own private entrance, his son Gregory, an art director, told Gimme Shelter.

Hiro’s photos often juxtaposed glamorous women with jewels and even insects. The stunning images made it into the pages of Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue. The late Halston once called Hiro “the greatest still-life photographer in the world.”

Born to Japanese parents in Shanghai, Hiro immigrated to the United States in 1954 and got his start apprenticing for Richard Avedon, who became his friend and mentor.

Hiro’s photos are in the permanent collections of museums including the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles; the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC; Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

The listed space is a roomy 2,434 square feet, and comes with one bedroom and two baths. It features 15-foot-tall ceilings, hardwood floors and large arched windows. The open kitchen boasts Central Park views. Stairs lead to the bedroom with an ensuite bath.

The home is currently configured as a live-work studio, with a large area functioning as a photography studio, which comes with that private rear entrance.

Built in 1907, the building, known as the Prasada, is a white glove co-op whose amenities include a gym, laundry and bike storage.

“My father custom built out the apartment to suit him and the way he worked. It was the heart of everything he did and came with elegance that was also very functional. That place was his heart and soul. He loved it. He created a space that helped him think creatively,” said Gregory. “We would love for it to be a creative space for someone else but times have changed. It will also be a magnificent residence for someone.”

The space is ideal to catch Macy’s most famous annual event. “We were always able to bring our kids to watch the Thanksgiving Day parade from there. It was an important family place for us as well as for his work,” Gregory said.

The listing broker is Gregory’s wife, Teresa Wakabayashi, of Corcoran.
