NYC Storefronts in Miniature

Randy Hage with Pearl Paint 1/12th scale model

Over the past 14 years, artist Randy Hage has photographed over 450 storefronts in the SoHo area of New York, 60% of which have since closed or been torn down. He has created models from these photographs to draw attention to what has been lost as urban renewal and gentrification displace the storeowners and residents of these communities.
