See Inside the Last Original Artist Lofts in New York

Jamie Valentino, Artnet News, 16 Feb 2024

Documentary photographer Joshua Charow's upcoming publication Loft Law: The Last of New York City's Original Artist Lofts is reviewed in Artnet News by Jamie Valentino.

 

"Around 2021, Charow located the last few buildings protected by the law, and set out to document these spaces and interview their residents. His resulting book encompasses more than 100 photographs and interviews with 30 artists.

Among his images, you’ll find painter Steve Silver standing in his home in Williamsburg, which looks like an art installation with wooden coiled tubes spiking up from the ground. The concrete floor is a blocked rainbow, and a bench table is scattered with paint containers and supplies."
