Synopsis

A selection of photographs taken over the course of one year at Manhattan's notorious Carlton Arms Hotel. A cramped, five storey, dilapidated walkup that has been a brothel, a flophouse and a welfare hotel, the Carlton is now an apex of extraordinary kitsch in which the cramped rooms of former transients are transformed into wild-eyed acid nightmares from the minds of former Pranksters. Bob Coulter has taken his girls, as vibrant and on the edge as their surroundings, into this alternative universe and encouraged them to let their personalities run wild.

About this title

Synopsis:

Bob Coulter's crazy girls are back, and they're bigger, brighter and better than ever. Bob Coulter is back and down on his hands and knees shooting more of his Crazy Babes, this time at the wildly unique Carlton Arms Hotel in Lower Manhattan. The notorious Carlton Arms Hotel on Manhattan's 25th Street has been a flophouse, a drophouse, a cathouse and every other combination of bad and seedy in between. Now it's a bad acid vision of an insane Merry Prankster nightmare, with every room decorated by a different artist and each trying to outdo the rest. Wild Warhol visions in bright bright colours; outlandish themes; eye-popping graffiti: spending a night here now is strictly for tourists, lunatics and the terminally high. And Bob Coulter, following the success of his "Crazy Babes", a collection of erotic images set in Manhattan's upscale Chelsea Hotel, has come inspiredly spiralling down the social ladder to collect a companion volume in the garish surroundings of the Carlton Arms.

Shooting fast and hard with a 15mm fisheye lens, Coulter records wackily intimate subjects in glorious hypercolour, crazy chicks in crazy places, girls in the funky, spunky, lunky rooms at the weirdest hotel in the world. Naked and nasty and bouncy and bubbly and everything in between, these girls are the reason God invented cameras.
