A Tribute to Charles Seliger (1926-2009)
By James Siena and Robert C. MorganNobody on Charles’s block in Pelham knew he was totally unlike the rest of them. Wearing a sport coat and a bow tie, he’d enter and leave his house like anyone else, but if his neighbors cared to look (or stayed up late enough), they’d notice his light was on deep into the night, either in his tiny studio at the top of the stairs or in his bedroom, as he kept easels in each place.
A Tribute to Suzanne Fiol (1960-2009)
By Gilbert HsiaoI think of myself as a music person. So I’m embarrassed to admit that it was not music but a reading by Steve Buscemi and some cast members of The Sopranos that initially drew me into the former oil silo, which housed the Issue Project Room in the fall of 2005.
A Tribute to Nancy Spero (1926-2009)
By Robert Storr and Clayton EshlemanArt historians have their work cut out for them if they ever hope to get the period since 1960s “right.” It is pretty obvious from existing accounts they haven’t done so yet.
Carl Plansky In Memorial (1951-2009)
By Bill JensenThinking about Carl’s life, some of the things I know about him come from firsthand experience and some from stories Carl and other people told me. Carl led a very expansive and complex life for someone whose life was cut a little short.
