Blanket Stories: Western Door, Salt Sacks, Three Sisters

A site-specific installation commissioned by the Rockwell Museum, Corning, New York

I was working in New York in 1964 when some co-workers heard that the Savoy Plaza was closing and everything was for sale. We walked over to see what mementos we might find. I bought a blanket with the Savoy Plaza logo. The hotel was built around 1928 at the southeast corner of Central Park. It was torn down in 1964.
