Self-Portrait, Chelsea Hotel, 2011, © Linda Troeller  Part of CCNY's upcoming benefit auction.

The work of Linda Troeller has been growing on me. She's amazing in-person and it's always interesting to see what she's up to.

Linda's work is part of "Time Lapse/Identity," an exhibition at Ververs Gallery in Amsterdam, December 22nd to February 9th, 2013 with an opening reception on January 12th (5-7 pm).

Later that night, Linda will appear at the Lloyd Hotel & Cultural Embassy in Amsterdam to present her photographs and stories about the legendary Chelsea Hotel in New York, where she lives. It was sold in NYC's rapid real estate development to a boutique hotel and is closed, and being renovated, with most people no longer able to live there. The landmark has been a creative home to Bob Dylan, Patti Smith, Arthur Miller and Janis Joplin among many other artists. A selection of Chelsea Hotel photographs will be shown in an exhibition at the CODA Museum in Apeldoorn (Netherlands).
