Photographer Linda Troeller lived in the Chelsea Hotel for some 20 years. During that time, she would collect a treasure trove of memories. She lived across the hall from Beat poet Herbert Huncke, who would invite her to his room to see his latest poetry “scrawled on the fridge.” Troeller also remembers Alexander McQueen coming to her room and taking her through the hotel, where she was “shooting his vision of texture, space, and sex.” Troller reveals many of these memories and impressions in her book, “Living in the Chelsea Hotel” (Schiffer Publishing, 2015). The book takes us on a tour of the narrow staircases and walls covered in art and into the rooms of the various creative characters who lived there, providing us with a lasting document of, and one last glimpse inside, the hotel’s storied halls.
