Rosalind Fox Solomon’s home and studio are on an upper floor of an eight-story former commercial building in the NoHo Historic District of New York. Completed in 1893 and named by the Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1999, it was designed by the German American architect Alfred Zucker at a time when the area’s Federal-style mansions were being replaced by high-rise structures.
Fox Solomon has lived and worked inside Zucker’s iron, granite, and terracotta building on Broadway since 1984. Her loft is a treasury for ascrutinizing the pleasures and toxicities that define us. “What I was interested in was psychological … what was going on inside people,” Fox Solomon told me.
