One of the most attention-grabbing exhibits at the International Center for Photography’s Triennial (through September 8) isn’t really a work of photography at all. In Knee-deep in the Flooded Victory, artist Nayland Blake has assembled photos, posters, zines, coffee mugs and voodoo dolls in an installation that explores the changing meaning of public space in New York […]

George M. Cohan Statue (1959) Sculptor: Georg John Lober Duffy Square Times Square, New York Actor, playwright, composer and lyricist George M. Cohan (1878–1942) was a major force in Broadway entertainment in the early 20th century and was often referred to as "the man who owns Broadway". He earned his spurs with the family vaudeville act, "The Four Cohans". His Broadway musicals, which earned more money on the Road than on the Great White Way, included LITTLE JOHNNY JONES (1904), FORTY-FIVE MINUTES FROM BROADWAY (1906), GEORGE WASHINGTON JR. (1906), GET-RICH-QUICK WALLINGFORD (1910), and SEVEN KEYS TO BALDPATE (1913). For his musicals, he penned such classics as "Give My Regards to Broadway" and "Yankee Doodle Dandy" (1904), "You're a Grand Old Flag" (1906), and "Over There" (1917). Cohan was a founding member of ASCAP, but he famously refused to join Actors' Equity, claiming it would hinder his ability to appear in his own productions. He was brilliantly portrayed by James Cagney in the biopic YANKEE DOODLE DANDY (1942). © Matthew X. Kiernan NYBAI11-9294
