Ivy also owns Go Fish Gallery, in the same neighborhood as One Naked Egg’s nest: the Meat Packing District, her home for over 20 years and an area Ivy (not to spark citified turf warfare) affectionately refers to as “the epicenter of York City's grooviest area.” Understandably, when you witness first-hand the transition from bloody carcasses to groovy, you’ve allowed some sentimentality. Roughly half the gallery’s exhibits are One Naked Egg artists, providing another avenue of exposure for her photographers, a group she’s picked carefully.
