New York’s Hotel Chelsea honors the late artist Teruko Yokoi with new restaurant
New York's Hotel Chelsea is opening a Japanese restaurant named Teruko, inspired by and honoring the late artist Teruko Yokoi, who lived at the hotel from 1958 to 1961 with her then-husband, artist Sam Francis. The restaurant, helmed by chef Tadashi Ono, will feature eight recently acquired works by Yokoi and is set to open in mid-May. Coinciding with the restaurant's opening, a solo exhibition of Yokoi's work, titled "Noh Theater," is on view at Hollis Taggart gallery through June 14, showcasing over 20 works from the late 1950s to early 2000s that draw on Noh theatre traditions.
