Marquis Who's Who Press Release

“Discovering Excellence!” An enigma for life.

Post-War II Abstract Expressionist Artists in New York City marked the beginning of New York City’s influence as the center of the western art world. 

The world of the Abstract Expressionist artists was firmly rooted in Lower Manhattan.

A walk along 8th Street would take you from the Waldorf Cafeteria, where penniless artists made “tomato soup” from the free hot water and ketchup;

past the Hans Hofmann School of Fine artists founded by the painter of the same name; 

 to

The Club, a loft where lectures and heated arguments about art carried on late into the night.Jackson Pollock’s studio was on East 8th Street,
Willem de Kooning’s Philip Guston’s, Albert Kotin's and most other pioneer New York School artists' studios were on East 10th.

Most nights the "down town artists" could be found at the Cedar Street Tavern on University Place. 

Half a century latter I am still inspired by the universality of artistic impulse.
