    From Center to Periphery: The Lifespan of New York City’s Tenth Street Studio Building and the Canon of American Art

    PDF:Okin-Mitchard, From Center to Periphery

    Editors’ Note: This article is the second of three digital art history projects generously funded by the Terra Foundation for American Art. The third and final installment of this project will appear in our Fall 2023 issue (number 9.2). 

    The problem with buildings is that they look desperately static. It seems almost impossible to grasp them as movement, as flight, as a series of transformations. Everybody knows—and especially architects, of course—that a building is not a static object but a moving project, and that even once it is has been built, it ages, it is transformed by its users, modified by all of what happens inside and outside, and that it will pass or be renovated, adulterated and transformed beyond recognition. We know this, but . . . when we picture a building, it is always as a fixed, stolid structure.

    —Bruno Latour and Albena Yaneva

    The Tenth Street Studio Building (fig. 1), constructed at 51 West Tenth Street in Greenwich Village in 1857 and demolished in 1956, was the first American building specifically designed to house artist studios. In histories of American architecture, it is situa

    F. Graham Cootes (American, 1879–1960)
    Portrait of W. E. B. Du Bois, ca. 1940–early 1950s
    Pastel on paper
    20 7/8″h x 17″w
    Collection of Washington County Museum of Fine Arts
    Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Fidlow, A3807,02.0206In this captivating work, F. Graham Cootes deftly depicted the renowned African American sociologist, historian, civil rights activist, and author, W. E. B. Du Bois (1868–1963). The artist employed striking highlights on his sitter’s forehead, hair, and tie that subtly reference his age, wisdom, distinction, and determination. Between the 1940s and early 1950s, Cootes and Du Bois met when they were both living in New York. While the exact origin of the portrait remains unclear, it is likely that Cootes’ fame as a portraitist of notable personalities attracted Du Bois’ initial attention and that he possibly commissioned it from the artist.Du Bois was born in Barrington, Massachusetts, in 1868. He de
