Come Closer: Art Around the Bowery 1969-1989 at the New Museum presents ephemera, artwork, films, and performance footage of twenty artists that lived or worked in the Bowery over the course of two decades. The exhibition documents the influence of the neighborhood on artists during a time when the area was notoriously derelict and neglected.
