Inside the secluded and intimate New York studios of famous artists
CNNCNN — Artist studios have long been mythologized as a hallowed private space, where artists are swept up in the frenzy of creation or host fabled meetings of the minds. “Since their earliest days, artist studios have been defined by their isolation from the outside world,” photographer Marco Anelli said from his apartment in New York City. “And us photographers love to capture things others can’t access.” Anelli’s new book “Artist Studios New York,” published by Damiani, offers a fascinating glimpse into the living and working quarters of some of the world’s most accomplished creators. He first gained acclaim in the early aughts for his irreverent interpretations of pop culture, as well as his affiliation with a group of New York nonconformists dubbed “Warhol’s Children” – among them photographer Ryan McGinley and the late multimedia artist Dash Snow.
