Susan Olmetti paints on the sidewalk in front of the Hotel Chelsea in New York City 25 June 2007. Chelsea Hotel manager Stanley Bard, who has been a fixture at the Chelsea for more than 50 years, and the rest of the Bard family, were forced out by their board of directors and a new management company will take over the day-to-day operations of the hotel. The landmark hotel is recognized as an American cultural icon and is renowned for the artists, writers and musicians who have lived and created art there, including Sir Arthur C. Clarke, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Stanley Kubrick, Arthur Miller, Joni Mitchell, Dee Dee Ramone, Larry Rivers, Dylan Thomas, Mark Twain, and Tennessee Williams.

From Monday’s Globe and Mail / Canada
Globe/ August 13, 2007
On a muggy afternoon last week, Chicago painter Susan Olmetti crouched on a sidewalk along West 23rd Street and applied some swirls to a pop art canvas she’d popped up against a long-shuttered storefront. A hand full of completed pieces stood drying in the summer haze. Olmetti has spent the last couple of months on this stretch of sidewalk just west of Seventh Avenue, using it as a handy combination of studio and salesroom. “It’s euphoric,” she explained. “Being in the street, with people.”
Nobody takes much notice of such things in this part
of town, for a few feet to the right of Olmetti lay the entrance to
her temporary home: the Hotel Chelsea, the dotty dowager that has housed
thousands of artists since the middle of the last century.
