David Hammons Joins Maya Lin in Yonkers, the New SoHo

April 14, 2014 by Marion Maneker

39 Lawrence St, Yonkers, NY

Yonkers is turning into the new SoHo or Chelsea as artists move into the Hudson River community that lies just across the border from the Bronx:

The artist David Hammons has bought a warehouse in a section of southwest Yonkers, where he will open a new art gallery. Hammons is the latest artist to buy property in the city with the goal of exhibiting work.

In November city officials announced that they had sold the former Yonkers City Jail on Alexander Street to artist and architect Maya Lin and her husband Daniel Wolf, who will convert part of the jail into an exhibition space.
