Rediscovered Photographs Capture 1970s Chelsea Hotel Atmosphere

Photographer Albert Scopin's previously unseen images from the 1970s document life at New York's Chelsea Hotel. The photographs feature ghostly color effects and double exposures, showing scenes like a roller-skater in the lobby and residents with theatrical makeup. The collection includes 35 images that reveal intimate details of the hotel's interior, including walls covered in writing. These works provide a visual record of the iconic building during a culturally significant period.
