Manhattan's Hotel Des Artistes

More than 600 archival color and black-and-white photos take readers
inside the magnificent Hotel des Artistes on Manhattan's West Side. This
is the well-researched, untold story of the artists, returning from
stints in Paris in the early 1900s, who convinced Manhattan businessmen
to invest in an arts colony on West 67th Street. Readers are invited on a
tour of the north-light studios, salon ballroom, and iconic café where
America's great painters, sculptors, writers, illustrators, actors, and
dancers created a beehive of creativity. In addition to stories of
select artists, a directory lists the names of the hundreds of tenants
who populated the building from 1917 to 2020—an "army of artists" whose
work collectively changed the world. This book is a treasure trove for
creatives, historians, and the large network of artists and their
families with ties to the landmark Hotel des Artistes.
