Merci Marie Pascale pour cet article du MONDE 2 ...qui est encore disponible sur le web,,clickez sur le titre.. L'article commence par ces mots: Depuis cinquante ans, le cœur de la bohème artistique new-yorkaise battait à l'hôtel Chelsea. Des peintres, écrivains, Cinéastes, musiciens, certains mythiques, d'autres inconnus, y sont restés quelques jours ou des années. par amour de l'art, Stanley Bard, maître des lieux, menait au Chelsea une expérience féconde. Il a été déposé en juin par son conseil d'administration : l'heure est à la normalisation.......... Le Chelsea, c'est fini LE MONDE 2 | 01.02.08 ©
