Coenties Slip, a dead-end street near the water, was home to a circle of wildly talented and varied artists that included Robert Indiana, Ellsworth Kelly, Agnes Martin, James Rosenquist, Delphine Seyrig, Lenore Tawney, and Jack Youngerman. As friends and inspirations to one another, they created a unique community for unbridled creative expression and experimentation, and the works they made at the Slip would go on to change the course of American art.""Just a note to say a big THANK YOU for book club. It is such an oasis for me in the desert of my life!" -Beth, Book Club memberBook Club meetings are just $5 (which includes refreshments). Space is limited so you must register in advance.
