The Life Cycle of New York Galleries What does being the center of the art world do to a neighborhood? BROOME STREET GRAND STREET WOOSTER STREET GREENE STREET MERCER STREET CROSBY STREET HOUSTON STREET CANAL STREET WEST BROADWAY BROADWAY LAFAYETTE STREET PRINCE STREET SPRING STREET opacity=0PRE-1950SIn the early 20th century, the area south of Houston, north of Canal, bounded roughly by West Broadway on one side and Lafayette/Centre Street on the other, was notorious for sweatshops and factory fires. Photo: Bob Adelman1968In 1968, a group called the SoHo Artists Association formed in order to help legalize loft living in manufacturing buildings. The reputations of these dealers helped cement the neighborhood as the center of the New York art world, though SoHo remained, in some ways, sparse.

There she introduced him to a “very small lady in a very big fur coat” who swept in and sat down at the next table. It was Brooke Astor, the doyenne of New York society. Looking at the “delicate, well-groomed woman about to enjoy a delicate, well-groomed lunch,” Mr. Cooper writes that he was unaware at the time of the “brutality” at the heart of her inherited wealth.

Photo: Popperfoto via Getty ImagesWhen the future King George VI learned that his brother had decided to abdicate, he sobbed for an hour on the shoulder of his mother, Queen Mary. Next in line to the monarchy, he had no desire to become king. The tales of Edward VIII’s abdication and George VI’s reluctant ascent to the throne are well known. But now two engaging books bring to the stories a fresh—and timely—perspective.
