Arlene Gottfried | Sometimes Overwhelming

“Sometimes Overwhelming” is Arlene Gottfried’s manic yet romantic ode to the people of New York City in the 1970s and 80s. From Coney Island’s eccentric denizens to a Hasid at Riis Beach’s nude bay to the disco nights of sexual abandon and the children in the original Village Halloween parade, this body of work is a light-hearted look at outrageous people in a singular milieu.
