Produktbeschreibung
Winner of the Marfield Prize, National Award for Arts Writing "Tippins tells riveting stories about the Chelsea´s artists, but she also captures a much grander, and more pressing, narrative: that of the ongoing battle between art and capitalism in the city." - The New Yorker Since its founding by a utopian-minded French architect in 1884, New York´s Chelsea Hotel has been a hotbed of artistic invention and inspiration. Cultural luminaries from Bob Dylan to Sid Vicious, Thomas Wolfe to Andy Warhol, Dylan Thomas to Dee Dee Ramone - all made the Chelsea the largest and longest-lived artists´ community in the world. Inside the Dream Palace tells the hotel´s story, from its earliest days as a cooperative community, through its pop art, rock-and-roll, and punk periods, to its present transformation under new ownership. By exploring what it takes to maintain a creative community and how artists have enhanced and informed New York City life, Tippins, author of the acclaimed February House , delivers a lively and masterly history of the Chelsea and those who cohabitated there. "Not only essential to the understanding of this crucial New York City - and therefore American - cultural landmark, but as majestic and populous as the edifice itself, and completely entertaining." - Daniel Menaker, author of My Mistake "With her lively Inside the Dream Palace , literary biographer Sherill Tippins succeeds where other historians studying New York landmarks have failed: She understands that even the most splendid buildings are mere settings for the personalities that inhabit them, and wisely bypasses rote chronology for the vigor of cultural excavation . . . The Chelsea Hotel may face an uncertain future, but Tippins´s enchanting book guarantees its renown for generations to come." - Time Out New York
