DAY 15 Today is Tuesday, January 17th, and we consider the creation of the "art district," and its role in the art market. The readings
focus on the move of New York's contemporary art district from SoHo to Chelsea at the end of the twentieth century. In your response,
discuss either SoHo or Chelsea and the factors that went into making or dismantling each neighborhood as an art district. Many art
world players thought that SoHo, as a contemporary art magnet, would last forever. Today, the feeling about Chelsea is the same,
specially with speculators like the Whitney Museum of American Art, which plans to move from the Upper East Side to Chelsea in a new
uilding by 2015. But many remember the Guggenheim's ill-fated expansion to SoHo. By the time that satellite exhibition space closed,
SoHo galleries had begun their exodus north and westward to Chelsea. You might also site other examples of art districts in other cities
or countries.
