Dorothea Rockburne, 88 and still painting, moved into a Soho loft in the 1970's. It is a live/work space of over 6000 square feet with the majority of the space dedicated to her studio. Having been an artist for many years she has a lot of work stored there. Having enough storage space always seems to be an issue-I know it is with me-let alone thinking about climate control like in museums. But recently water from the loft above her studio leaked and over 176 painting, prints, etc. were damaged or ruined. She has had to sue the owner, a former ceo at Twitter for damages. The pain of loosing your work, the pain of dealing with lawyers at 88! Hopefully she will get the settlement that she deserves. On a happier note her work is currently on exhibit at DIA Beacon.
