Raandesk Remembers The Plaza!

    

The Raandesk Gallery celebrated its three year anniversary at Glenn Gale Gallery  where artist Laura Salierno's The PLaza Hotel series of photographs is on display.  Salierno, a photographer residing in Brooklyn snuck her camera into The Plaza Hotel as it was being dismantled and turned into condominiums.  She amazingly caught The Plaza as no one has seen it - a moment in purgatory - not quite the grand hotel it once was, but not yet the building it was to become. She caught the essence of what was happening so magically – fireplaces being ripped out of walls and chandelier's hanging by threads.  I was captivated by this collection, and I encourage you to go to the Raandesk website where you can view these photographs and purchase other contemporary paintings, photographs, drawings and sculptures.
