Tony Notarberardino's Chelsea Hotel Portraits

The Chelsea Hotel on West 23rd street has long been an iconic setting in New York, a place where artists of all kinds were known to live and work, like Mark Twain, Arthur Miller, Jimi Hendrix, and Patti Smith. Photographer Tony Notarberardino first moved into the hotel in 1994 and has never left. As a resident, he's shot portraits of the hotel's residents and workers, and has also witnessed the hotel's turbulent recent history. A new solo exhibition, Notarberardino's first gallery show, displays some of his portraits. Tony Notarberardino: Chelsea Hotel Portraits is on view through April 13. *Thi s episode is guest-hosted by Kousha Navidar
