New York is an international city. And its Soho district has been, since the 1970's, an international center for the arts.
Short for "South of Houston," Soho is bordered by Broadway to the East, Thompson Street on the West, and Houston Street on the North. It is a few streets north of famous Canal Street. Within the past ten-plus years, its name has come to stand for New York's most progressive arts district.
About five blocks north/south and eight blocks east/west, Soho is host to hundreds of galleries and thousands of artists, working diligently in studios converted from old warehouses.
Because Soho is also host to top-level arts businesses, it is also an area full of opportunities for collectors and an important focus point for critics.
Walking through Soho at dusk, with the fading sun glowing off the red brick walls, cast-iron balconies, and black fire escapes, the streets seemed old and lonely. Finally we reached our destination, to pay a visit to four resident Chinese artists: the painters Hsia Yang and Han Hsiang-ning, the sculptor Ming Fay, and, no stranger to readers in the ROC, the photographer Daniel Lee.
