Paula Cooper and the Slow-Bloom of 1970s Soho Art

Paula Cooper opened a Prince Street gallery in 1968 as Soho was transitioning from empty lofts to a vibrant art scene, building deep relationships with artists such as Chris Wilmarth, Lynda Benglis, Mark di Suvero, Joel Shapiro, and Elizabeth Murray, while maintaining enduring ties with peers like John Baldessari and Jasper Johns. Her patient, community-minded approach helped attract more galleries uptown, leading to the Wooster Street building sale in 1973 and a mid‑1990s Chelsea move, along with concerts and artist lunches that supported figures like John Cage and Donald Judd. The piece highlights a slower, more humane era in the New York art world and Cooper’s role as its repeat pioneer at the center of it all.

1973 Revisited: What If History Rhymes for Today’s Markets

The Motley Fool argues that today’s mix of Middle East oil tensions, rising inflation, slowing growth, and a cautious Fed rhymes with 1973 and could pressure stocks or even trigger a prolonged ‘lost decade.’ However, 2026 isn’t a perfect replay—AI and other factors may blunt a sharp sell-off. The suggested strategy is long-term: buy well-positioned growth stocks, hedge with commodities like gold and energy, and diversify with Treasuries rather than trying to time a quick rebound.
