Between 1982-96, Emmerich ran a 150-acre sculpture park called Top Gallant in Pawling, New York, on his country estate that once was a Quaker farm. There he displayed large-scale works by, among others, Alexander Calder, Beverly Pepper, Bernar Venet, Tony Rosenthal, Isaac Witkin, Mark di Suvero and George Rickey, as well as the work of younger artists like Keith Haring. The cottage's in-ground pool had walls painted with ocean waves by Hockney. Many of the pieces later left for museums, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Storm King Art Center, and the Detroit Institute of Arts. In 1996, Sotheby's bought the Andre Emmerich Gallery, with the aim of handling artists' estates. One year later the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation, the main beneficiary of the Albers' estates, did not renew its three-year contract. The gallery was eventually closed by Sotheby's in 1998. His children, with wife Constance (Marantz), include Adam Emmerich, a lawyer at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, producer Toby Emmerich and actor Noah Emmerich. Emmerich died following a stroke in Manhattan on September 25, 2007, aged 82. André Emmerich's papers and gallery records were donated to the Archives of American Art between 1999 and 2002. Two additional accretions were donated by Emmerich's wife Susanne in 2008 and 2009, and another by James Yohe, Emmerich's former business partner, in 2009.
