A record price for a James Bleecker print was achieved by dealer Allen Sheppard in New York.

The piece now hangs in the lobby of the Sienna Condominiums at 188 East 76th Street, New York City.

James is interviewed in the November 2009 issue of New York Social Diary. He shares his thoughts about his work and his personal New York - a place haunted by ghosts of family and history.
