Description
The Slip: The New York City Street that Changed American Art Forever In the 1950s and 1960s, a small street in Lower Manhattan became the epicenter of the art world. Coenties Slip, a dead-end street near the water, was home to a circle of talented artists who created a unique community for unbridled creative expression. This remarkable biography tells the story of these artists and their impact on late twentieth-century art and film. The artists who lived and worked on Coenties Slip were a diverse and eclectic group, united by their passion for art and their desire to experiment and push boundaries. Their works, which included painting, sculpture, film, and assemblage, would go on to change the course of American art. This book, written by Prudence Peiffer, shines a light on the Slip's remarkable community and the artists who made it so special. By exploring the lives and works of these artists, Peiffer challenges our understanding of what it means to be part of a "group" or "movement". Instead, she reveals a scene defined by a singular spirit of community and place, one that continues to inspire and influence artists today.
