Artist Annie Shaver-Crandell and her late husband Keith Crandell lived on Bond Street in September, 2001. This collection documents the horrific events of 9/11 and the days and weeks that followed, when the city came together to respond to the tragedy.

Annie is an internationally published medieval art historian and Professor Emeritus from The City College of New York, where she taught the history of art for over three decades. She continues to live, work, and teach at her NoHo studio. She served on the Board of Directors of the Salmagundi Club from 2009-2019 and has worked extensively to further the status of women in the visual arts professions, serving from 1986 to 1988 as National President of the Women’s Caucus for Art.

Her late husband Keith was a community, peace, and environmental activist. He was a Villager columnist and served as a member of the Community Board since 1981, including as chair from 1991-1993. He looked back with most pride on his leadership of the board’s Social Services and Health Committee in the early 1980s when AIDS, crack, and homelessness epidemics were raging. He was awarded a Village Award by Village Preservation in 2005, and was a vestry member of St. Mark’s Church in the Bowery, where his ashes are interred in the West Yard.
