from the press release:

an exhibition of the landmark artist portfolio, On the Bowery. The portfolio consists of ten silkscreens by the representative artists of the period. The exhibition showcases each artwork in relation to the artist photographed in his working environment, thus recapturing the vibrant community spirit and creative atmosphere that characterized Bowery as a cultural milestone of the New York School......From the 1950’s until today, well-known artists created their artwork in lofts on the Bowery which was known as "skid row" for decades. New York artists have gravitated to run-down areas of cities where they can obtain less expensive rent, and become integral in defining the neighborhood as cultural center.....All artworks were created in the period 1964-71. The silkscreen prints are 25½ x 25½ inches each, in an edition of 100 plus 20 artist proofs, signed by the artist, numbered, with edition blindstamp Domberger at bottom left. Also included in the portfolio and on view in the gallery are biographical prints with a photo portrait of each artist. The ten artists were photographed by Eliot Elisofon (1911-1973), who lived on the Bowery and was a founding member of the Photo League in 1936.
