New York Art Tour

Throughout the 20th century, the Bowery was a richly diverse commercial and residential district as well as an infamous “skid row.” But its other little-known history was as an active creative community with artists from Mark Rothko to Roy Lichtenstein, James Rosenquist, Brice Marden, and Eva Hesse living and working here. Through onsite and online resources, publications, and public programming, the Bowery Artist Tribute is a vibrant connecting point for our visitors and neighbors to tap into the history of the neighborhood, its creative residents, and its contributions to contemporary culture.
