The Times reports more on the reason why Faith Ringgold will no longer be associated with a museum and affordable housing development up on West 155th Street. This $70 million project originally had the notable Harlem artist's name attached to the children's museum planned for the lower level but a concern that the space would not authentically showcase art has caused Ms. Ringgold to withdraw her support.
