For our eleventh issue, we looked at the often mythologized spaces where art is born : the artist studio. 

Photographer Jeff Henrikson spent spring crisscrossing New York City to chronicle the studios of eleven contemporary artists : Joe Bradley, John Chamberlain, Francesco Clemente, Joan Jonas, Maggie Lee, Nate Lowman, Nick Mauss, Win McCarthy,  R.H. Quaytman, Jessi Reaves, and Olivia Vigo. Elusive rooms where thought takes form and where concept becomes creation.

What he found is as varied as the city itself. These studios expand and evolve in tandem with the artist’s career. If some spare, others vast and commanding, all bear the unmistakable imprint of the persons that inhabit them. They are more than workspaces; they are extensions of their mind, places where instinct meets intention, and where art begins.
