ART LOVERS NEW YORK Photos by Nancy Smith

~STEVE BALKIN (2006-02-10)

Steve Balkin first crossed paths with Andy Warhol, in 1959 when Andy was still doing shoe illustrations and decorating store windows. The first exchange was at the local painters hang-out at the time, the now legendary - CEDAR BAR. Andy was there with an equally young - HENRY GELDZAHLER - when they all just struck up a conversation over drinks. The CEDAR BAR was located at University, bet 8th & 9th Streets, Oct 5, 2005
