Purple issue 39

Today, a new generation of artists, musicians, designers, gallerists, and writers are taking New York by storm, determined to make it, even though it is the most expensive city in the world. They find spaces further and further from Manhattan, from Brooklyn to upstate, and sometimes even elsewhere, while still thinking and breathing New York. Above all, New York is a state of mind. It remains the most creative, intellectual, fearless, and transgressive city in the United States – for better or worse. In an issue as expansive as the city itself, discover denizens like Tali Lennox, Natasha Lyonne, Bob Colacello, John Currin, Ebecho Muslimova, Roger Jazilek, Amy Fine Collins, and many more.
