Tim Schreier “Bettie and The Ramones,” oil on canvas by Curt Hoppe.“Come Closer: Art Around the Bowery, 1969-1989” opened to the public today at New Museum. An offshoot of the museum’s Bowery Artist Tribute, launched in 2007, the exhibit pays tribute to the strip that served as “a social network where painters, photographers, performance artists, musicians, and filmmakers exchanged ideas and drew inspiration from this concentration of creative activity.” The Local dropped in earlier today and came back with these photos.
