It has a magical potential for transformation, whether through rebirth or destruction. Artists such as Mark Twain, Edith Piaf, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Jasper Johns, Jack Kerouac, Wilhelm de Kooning, Leonard Cohen, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Patti Smith, Robert Mapplethorpe, and Ethan Hawke have been drawn \u003ci\u003einside\u003c\/i\u003e by a seemingly irresistible magnetic force. Julia Calfee has lived and photographed in the Chelsea Hotel for four years. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“When I photographed at the Chelsea Hotel, I would stay in a space or situation for hours.

There are times I felt like a fly caught in a spider’s web, at risk of being eaten alive if I made the wrong move. This goes with living and working in the same place with a large extended, temperamental family full of artistic sensitivities and colossal egos, with long, exposed nerve ends—but there were also many moments of friendship, generosity, and complicity.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"powerHouse Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47054055375088,"sku":"9781576874066","price":35.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781576874066_p0.jpg?v=1763796139","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781576874066","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
