Documentary photographer Joshua Charow's publication Loft Law: The Last of New York City's Original Artist Lofts is reviewed in HighSnobiety by Jason Meggyesy.
"In his new book Loft Law, The Last of New York City’s Original Artist Lofts, produced in partnership with Damiani Books, Charow intimately captures spaces and faces from the dwindling fraternity of auteurs protected under the 1982 New York law of the same name. Ratified at a time when the Lower Manhattan art district was beginning to take shape—with eclectic galleries and installations sprouting in bunches and the legendary who’s who of contemporary art clamoring to make an impression—the Loft Law instituted a safeguard for ambitious beatniks to secure, live, and work in these picturesque studio spaces normally only seen in coming-of-age indie flicks."
