Linda Troeller’s Chelsea Hotel
Tuesday, July 24th, 2007
Live in New York City long enough, and you’ll hear a story (or ten) about the Chelsea Hotel, the famed spot where artists of every flavor—from Arthur Miller to Sid Vicious and every Corso, Ginsberg and Kerouac you can conjure up—took up residence at one point in their lives. Naturally a site and blog have long been born around this storied spot.
The latest in the Story of the Chelsea Hotel canon is Atmosphere: An Artist’s Memoir of the Chelsea Hotel by artist and photographer Linda Troeller. The book is self-published on Blurb, and Troeller’s point of view is intimate and personal; after all, she’s lived there herself since 1994. The Village Voice offers a stunning slideshow from Atmosphere here.
For more from Troeller, whose book The Erotic Lives of
Women SMITH contributing editor Rachel Kramer Bussel gives her RKB sex writing seal of approval, check out her site.
Dear Rachel,

a no talent hag whose images barely outreach the grasp of a first year photo student. Who cares that you took a snapshot of Ethan Hawke, lady? How tall is that Chelsea Hotel you live in and can’t stop fixating on? Tall enough to fling yourself off of? Bring the camera and all your negatives with you when take the plunge
