makes the most appreciation for the art of the art

I like the knowing the inner circle of life in THE SLIP and a greater appreciation for each artist

Great slice of New York City- a moment in the city, of art and artists

Well read. Great piece of art history which brings in a part of New York City not only as the background but an integral part of a decade of American artists finding their footing.

Exactly what I’d hoped it would be.

While not an oral history, this book has all the elements of my favorite oral histories like “Please kill me” and “Edie.” I finished feeling like I knew the artists and The Slip.

I very much appreciate the last chapter. It was exciting to see that the author was taking away the same impressions I had about the relevance today of a place like Coenties Slip during the mid 20th century.

This was a very good follow up to ninth Street women

They general information was very interesting. The presentation had her pronunciation, both in English, and in peoples names and foreign language usages in English.
A bit rote vs storytelling

Recommended reading for artists and anyone interested in the history of the 1950’s - 60’s in NY.

Well written, informative and really gives you a sense of how New York and the Slip influenced these legendary artists.
