Tony Notarberardino and Susanne Bartsch on the Glamorous Lore of the Chelsea Hotel

Just before the opening of his first solo show, Tony Notarberardino met up with fellow Chelsea Hotel resident Susanne Bartsch.

moved from Melbourne to New York City in 1994, he took up residence in The Chelsea Hotel alongside a rogue’s gallery of characters and creatives. Rather quickly, it became clear he had to get his camera out. “

NOTARBERARDINO: 100%. I’ve never had an exhibition. No one’s seen them. I just have it on Instagram. But I mean, on Instagram, I can’t really put my best pictures. NOTARBERARDINO: I saw you in the hotel and then, one night I was sitting in the lobby and you came out with an entourage of people and I was like, “Oh my god.” You were all dressed up. It was the first time I saw you like that. And I asked the receptionist, “Who is that?”NOTARBERARDINO: I didn’t recognize you. And they said, “That’s Susanne.” I’m like, “What?” I’d seen you with Bailey and you just had a baby, so you were in home mode.

NOTARBERARDINO: But also they were losing the hotel. People who were moving in didn’t even want to move out. NOTARBERARDINO: The one of Arthur C. Clarke, for example, is one of the most important pictures I’ve got because he’s such a legend. He lived in the 60s, wrote. Stanley called me one day and he’s like, “Tony, Arthur C. Clarke’s coming next week. I want you to take a picture of me and him out front.” One shot, that’s it. And then we ended up spending the whole day together. It was one of the best days I’ve ever had.

NOTARBERARDINO: Yeah, I don’t have any space. That camera, I’m telling you, people don’t understand it. And that’s what I like about it. People are used to iPhones, right? So when they see this camera, they get confused.NOTARBERARDINO: But when you get the picture, it’s really good.BARTSCH: A whole six course meal.BARTSCH: Yeah. That was Mugler. What year was it?BARTSCH: A Thursday night? It might have been the Seoul Grand party I had. Or it could have been the Happy Valley.
