Artists Worry: Chelsea Hotel No Longer A Refuge?
"For six decades the Bard family has managed the Hotel Chelsea, overseeing a bohemian enclave that has been a long-term home for writers, artists and musicians including Mark Twain, O. Henry, Tennessee Williams, Dylan Thomas, Andy Warhol, and Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen. The Bard era came to an end yesterday" with the hotel board installing new management, and "the Bards were busy filling boxes in the lobby with help from residents who expressed concern about what the management change portends for one of New York's more quirky cultural institutions."
