This year’s Pageant of the Masters is my favorite of all. The theme is Wonderful World , and it is a kaleidoscope of international art that becomes your passport to distant lands, cultural celebrations, and his tory. The recreation of vintage postcards is genius. It transports you with nonstop surprises, original music, and stage illusions and it is more interactive and interesting than any Pageant I have ever seen. In addi tion, The Festival of Arts show was so entertaining , with works for sale by Orange County artists, from paintings, glass, ceramics, photography, and more. My friend, Sherry Pollack, has a booth there that you must see. If you want a nibble beforehand, pop up to Terra, the sit-down restaurant on the premises. It is lovely and you can also visit it at inter mission as they have a walk-up window. Spending a summer evening there is a must, as is a visit to the good ol’ Sawdust Festival. Don’t miss our photographer Brett Hillyard’s booth at the Sawdust, where this picture was taken by the man himself. Hilly’s amazing black and white photography and innovative photo collages are on display, many of which you’ve seen in this magazine. Hilly is such a creative talent and the antics he and I have enjoyed over the years are endless. Four hours on the beach at Shaw’s Cove trying to make mylar balloons behave so we could spell out Blue Door, climbing upon a massive concrete wall in heels so he could capture a plane from John Wayne Airport flying past my head, feeding pigeons potato chips so one would land near Geoff Sumich’s wooden model on the beach are just a few. He is a true talent.

Lots of art in my life this month. I loved spending time on a photo shoot with Elizabeth Turk and Jeannie Denholm. Elizabeth is a native Californian artist who splits time between a studio in Santa Ana and NYC. You may remember her installation on Main Beach in Laguna Beach with the lit umbrellas we featured a few years ago. She is known for her marble sculptures and community installations. I am obsessed with her latest sculptures featured in this issue. Be sure to use the QR code to learn more about it.

Orange County has so many new things happening over the next few months. The new OCMA is going to be a fantastic addition to our com munity when it opens on October 8. Thom Mayne’s brilliant design will make it a wonder to just sit outside and enjoy, nevermind explore the art inside. Congrats to everyone involved, from the amazing Jennifer and Anton Segerstrom, who long championed the museum’s move to Costa Mesa, to CEO Heidi Zuckerman for taking the lead as the museum enters an exciting new era. Plus, the many other coastal locals who deserve applause and recognition as the new OC icon debuts. Happy summer, please be in touch with ad interest or to brainstorm ideas. Ciao!

from Kedric Francis

By the end of my teenage years I had a collection of a dozen or so. For the nine months of the year that I spent in my real life in Arvada, Colorado, those photos of birds hanging in my room reminded me of my idyllic Southern California summers.

I visited one of my favorite places in the world yesterday: the Rizzoli Bookstore at 1133 Broadway in Manhattan. It’s like a Blue Door Magazine brought to life. There are well-stocked sections dedicated to all of our favorite topics: Architecture, interior design, fashion, photography, fine art, and literature. The only thing the store lacks is a few shelves focused on Orange County culture and real estate.

The bookstore is on the same block as our hotel: 26th and Broadway, or the NoMad (North of Madison) District. The two-block section of Broadway has been blocked off as a plaza, with tables for the many restau rants and cafés. Think Forest Avenue in Laguna Beach, but with a view of the Flatiron Building. We are in the neighborhood because the American Ballet Theatre Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School is a short walk away. Our daughter Rosey, who studies ballet at ABT Gillespie School at Segerstrom Center for the Arts, has a two-week intensive course at the NYC school. All six of us flew out for a visit to the city. Four of us are flying back tomorrow. My wife Elaina will stay for the second week, making motherdaughter memories that will likely last a lifetime.

Now, we are creating memories with our children. I hope this trip to NYC will be something formative that the four recall fondly. I expect other family memories will be of our favorite Orange County places: the coves of Laguna Beach, seeing Whipped Cream and Hamilton at Segerstrom Center for the Arts, Disneyland, shakes at Ruby’s, the new Orange County Museum of Art (looking into the future a bit). And that perfect place we all adore: South Coast Plaza. In many ways, it’s the Center of our lives. Where do you make your memories? Let me know. Until next time, stay safe, be kind, and take care of each other, please. kedric@bluedoormagazine.com

EDITOR’S NOTE

When I walked into the Rizzoli Bookstore, I had a vivid memory. Not quite Proustian, but close. It was of the same bookstore that was once at South Coast Plaza, where Cartier is now. It was a fabulous place, with European fashion magazines and art books. I dedicated a Beach Buzz column in Steve Churm’s OC METRO magazine to Rizzoli when it closed. If you live in a place long enough, places you pass by regularly or only visit every now and again become imbued with memories. They don’t come to mind each time, but then one day, there they are. It had been a few years since I visited the Sawdust Festival, and the last several times I’d had children in tow. So when I went to meet Brett Hillyard at his booth to shoot the photograph for this page, for once I wasn’t focused on the kids. My mind wandered to earlier visits to the Sawdust— earlier, as in the 1900s (that’s how my kids like to refer to the 20th Century). My dad lived in Laguna Beach much of the time while I was growing up, and I’d spend my summers with him. We always went to the Sawdust a day or two before it opened. We visited one booth every time. It belonged to a photographer who, as I recall, was also a dentist. He took photos of birds on the beach. They were laminated on particle board, with sawtooth hangers glued to the back. The artist always had a little section of seconds set aside (dings, sunspots, etc.). My dad bought me one slightly-lessthan-perfect photo each summer.

As Orange County School of the Art’s unique urban campus has evolved, there’s been a key design element missing: a planned indoor-outdoor space for students to gather, relax, study, collaborate, rehearse, perform, and share meals. At the gala, OCSA CEO Teren Shaffer announced Students First: A Capital Campaign—a $5 million project to develop a new student commons and enhance the Santa Ana school’s outdoor spaces. During the announcement, OCSA Emeritus Board member Julia Argyros took the stage in dramatic fashion, accompanied by daughter and OCSA Foundation Board member Lisa, and grandson and OCSA alum Ryan Mitchell.

After attending middle school and high school in Seal Beach and UCSB together, each pursued a career in beauty/skin products, mar keting, and communications. With their newest endeavor, they hope LĀ SOL suncare provides a healthier alternative that delivers efficacy and well-being for future generations to come.

Why LĀ SOL? The main drawback of zinc sunscreens has always been in the application and texture of the product—typical min eral-zinc sunscreens leave a heavy white cast on your skin. LĀ SOL CLEAR sunscreen works for all skin tones, gives your body the pro tection it needs, plus it goes on like a smooth cream, leaving your skin feeling natural, not greasy. It’s also waterproof, so no tears in the ocean or while doing sports.

Models walk the runway during the finale of the Louis Vuitton 2023 Cruise Show at the Salk Institute in La Jolla. Models included Olympic athletes—track and field star Dalilah Muhammad and skier Eileen Gu— and Lauren Wasser, a double amputee gold medalist with prosthetic legs who raises awareness about toxic shock syndrome.

FASHION

The Salk Institute is considered one of architect Louis Kahn’s greatest masterpieces and has been described as a temple paying homage to science and art. Flanked by two mirror-image concrete buildings, the central courtyard is the focal point of a complex seamlessly integrating 29 separate science facilities with nature, sky, and sea.

Louis Vuitton presented its 2023 Cruise collection at the Salk Institute in La Jolla, continuing the Maison’s architec tural tradition of staging fashion shows in remarkable architectural structures and settings. The Salk Institute, designed by architect Louis Kahn in partnership with Dr. Jonas Salk, the man behind the first safe and effective polio vaccine, is a treasure of modern architecture.

The Louis Vuitton show was the first time a fashion show has been held at the Salk Institute.

32 @BlueDoorMagazine

Past architecturally significant venues for Louis Vuitton fashion shows include the Bob and Delores Hope Estate by John Lautner in Palm Springs (2015); the MAC by Oscar Niemeyer in Brazil

Completed in 1965, the institute is an independent nonprofit research insti tute where, to this day, internationally renowned scientists make life-changing discoveries.

“Having spent a lot of time in California, I was drawn to the idea of showing there again,” says designer Nicolas Ghesquière, Artistic Director of Women’s Collections at Louis Vuitton. “The Salk Institute has been a place of wonder for me over the years and Louis Kahn’s stunning Brutalist architecture against this extraordinary setting of the Pacific Ocean and the California sunset provides me with endless inspiration. It also celebrates intelli gence, knowledge, and the belief in the power of science.”

The models in the Louis Vuitton fashion show as supreme and powerful figures. The fashion was what Queen Califia, the mythic Amazon warrior who gave California its name, would have worn. (2016); the Miho Museum by Ieoh Ming Pei outside Kyoto, Japan (2017); and the TWA Flight Center by Eero Saarinen at JFK airport in NYC (2019), among others.

“A spectacular feat of architectural design, enhanced by the surrounding landscape, the Salk Institute was a fitting choice for this year’s Cruise show,” says Michael Burke, Chairman and CEO of Louis Vuitton. “Louis Vuitton has a long and valued relationship with the U.S., dating back to the Chicago World’s Fair of 1893. Since then, our presence has expanded across the country, and notably in California.” Louis Vuitton’s presence is particularly notable in Orange County. South Coast Plaza, already home to one of the larg est and most successful Louis Vuitton boutiques, will have two Louis Vuitton boutiques by year’s end—a rarity in luxury retailing—plus a new atelier on the Penthouse level. South Coast Plaza’s Anton and Jennifer Segerstrom were guests at the Salk show, joining cre atives that included Anna Wintour, Ava DuVernay, Gemma Chan, Chloë Grace Moretz, and Deepika Padukone, the brand’s first ambassador from India.

The beauty of the Southern California coast, the opportunity to collaborate with scientists pursuing bold ideas to better humanity, and the architectural design of the buildings that overlook the Pacific Ocean established the Salk Institute as one of the top scientific research organizations in the world. It remains so today. As Jonas Salk famously said, the building and its architecture “guesses tomorrow.”

One of Orange County’s most significant arts organizations was not born here, either, and remains proudly bi-coastal: American Ballet Theatre (ABT). Based in New York City, ABT is one of the great dance companies in the world. Revered as a national treasure since its founding season in 1940, its mission is to create, present, and extend the great repertoire of classical dancing for the widest possible audi ence. In 2006, by an act of Congress, ABT was designated America’s National Ballet Company®.

Orange County has long been a place where ex-pats, immigrants, and first-generation families have made an instant impact, transforming the place into a multi-cultural milieu marked by prosperity, creativ ity, and innovation. Certainly, pioneering local families built the foundation for that success, but recall they too were newcomers a generation or three before.

ABT is currently the “Official Dance Company of Segerstrom Center for the Arts,” and has a long-standing relationship with the Center. In fact, the company was there at the beginning, performing The Nutcracker in December 1986 at Segerstrom Hall, which had just opened that September.

In March 2023, American Ballet Theatre will give the North American Premiere of Like Water for Chocolate at the Center, a co-production with the Royal Ballet inspired by Laura Esquivel’s bestselling novel of the same name.

ABT’s contributions to OC art and culture at the Center includes the World Premiere of Mikhail Baryshnikov’s Swan Lake in 1988. In 2008, ABT co-commissioned Twyla Tharp’s Rabbit and Rogue with Segerstrom Center for the Arts, which received its World Premiere in New York and its West Coast Premiere at the Center.

The Nutcracker was presented in a joyful return to the Center in December 2021, and ABT Forward was presented in March 2022, highlighted by the World Premiere of Single Eye, a new work by Alonzo King, his first for ABT. Images from the rehearsals for those performances are featured in this photo essay.

Other culturally significant ABT productions at Segerstrom Center for the Arts have included the World Premiere of a new production of Firebird, the West Coast premiere of The Nutcracker in 2015, the World Premiere of Whipped Cream in 2017, and the World Premiere and co-commissioned production Of Love and Rage in 2020, the last production at the Center before the pandemic shutdown.

Teaching the artistry and tradition of classical ballet to local youth is as important a contribution to OC art and culture as ABT’s world premieres and iconic performances. Since opening in September 2015, the ABT Gillespie School at Segerstrom Center for the Arts has drawn elementary age to pre-professional students from across Southern California to learn dance from the faculty, all certified in ABT’s National Training Curriculum. The school, under the direc tion of Principal Alaine Haubert, is named for the late William J. Gillespie, a renowned local philanthropist who was a board member of ABT since 1999 and a generous donor to the Segerstrom Center for the Arts throughout its history.

Today this secluded resort with vibrantly-hued villas dotting the craggy coast line continues to offer a mix of architecturally daring structures: Whether they’re hovering high above the ocean or boast a moat-style pool with water lapping right up to your bedroom, villas and bungalows interact with the topog raphy of this 20,000-acre destination in differ ent ways. Stairs connect soft-sand beaches to sprawling villas above, while bridges link ocean islands. Palapa roofs offer enough protection from the elements, while most homes are miss ing a fourth wall entirely, the better to embrace jaw-dropping ocean views, breeze, and almost year-round sun. Located approximately 100 miles south of Puerta Vallarta, Careyes proves to be impervious to the crush of new resort developments. Its quiet rhythm, captivating architecture, and pristine natural environment cast a one-of-a-kind magic unlike any other in Mexico. careyes.com

After a stunning, $23.2 million, “adaptive reuse” of Memphis’ 1914 depot, the station remains while Central Station Hotel unfolds within it like a musical shrine. Each of the 123 gues trooms have handcrafted EgglestonWorks speakers, made in Memphis and pumping Memphis-oriented songs. A mam moth portrait of Isaac Hayes from his Black Moses album gazes over the lobby, where a double-height wall is made of hi-fi speakers. Most impressive is the 8 & Sand Bar where designers transformed the former train concourse into a stepdown lounge with thousands of vinyl records, hundreds of music books, and at least two DJs per night. —Jack Skelley centralstationmemphis.com

ICONIC OC

What are the most important buildings in OC—the most historic, architecturally significant, and the most beautiful? What built spaces and public places make us unique? These are the questions that Blue Door Magazine explores as we tour Iconic OC.

The Tustin hangars are two of the largest wooden structures ever built. They remain landmarks for generations of local residents and the thousands of men and women who served at the MCAS Tustin base.

In January 1942, just weeks after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the U.S. was on high alert for an attack by Japan on the Pacific Coast, or by Germany on the Atlantic Coast. Developing a network of “Lighter Than Air” blimp bases to patrol both coastlines became a top priority. ICONIC OC:

The two World War II-era blimp hangars in Tustin are arguably Orange County’s most striking and superlative structures. Built in 1942-1943, they remain two of the largest freestanding wooden structures on the planet, according to the American Society of Civil Engineers, and the hangars enclose the largest covered, unobstructed open space of any structures in the world.

The Tustin base was commissioned in 1942 as the Santa Ana Lighterthan- Air Base and eventually became Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Tustin. It would have a rich military history over those six decades, and be best known for its massive, iconic blimp hangars, which the Navy called Buildings 28 and 29. The hangars were designed by Arsham Amirikian, Principal Engineer of the Navy Bureau of Yards and Docks. Amirikian, an Armenian immi grant, was known for innovative designs and creative construction methods of large structures using timber, reinforced concrete, and steel. Designing and building the Tustin hangars would be challenging enough today. Accomplishing it in wartime, on a hyper-accelerated schedule and with a nearly all-wood design, put the hangars on the Historic Civil Engineering Landmarks of the 20th Century list.

Above: The all-wood design was a direct result of the realities of war. Virtually all the steel produced in the country was earmarked for weapons and armored vehicles. While 33 tons of structural steel was used in building the hangars, traditional construction would have required over 4,000 tons of steel.

ICONIC OC

The War Department had identified two possible base locations on the Irvine Ranch in a sparsely populated (about 130,000 people) rural agricultural area called Orange County. One was at the mouth of a canyon called Cañada del Toro, would become MCAS El Toro. The other would become Naval Air Station Tustin and even tually, MCAS Tustin. James Irvine accepted $100,000 for both the Tustin and the El Toro sites, the equivalent of about $20 per acre. Construction of the Tustin LTA facility began on April 1, 1942; it was operational in just over 6 months. The hangars and support buildings were completed in just one year, in October 1943, at a total cost of Airship$10,062,482.08.patrolsalongthe California coast were con ducted 24 hours a day from the LTA bases at Tustin and Moffett Field. The airship fleet performed far beyond the War Department and the Navy’s expectations in terms of both reliability and effectiveness—with 89,000 escort

The dimensions of the hangars are difficult for first-time visitors to grasp. The first impression is the vastness of a covered space that is three football fields long, one football field wide and 17 stories high—all enclosed in a single, self-supporting wood structure.

At each end of the hangars are a series of vertical flat-leaf, rolling doors. Each 120-foot-high, 37-foot-wide door leaf sits on a rolling carriage set on rails and operated by electric motors. Each opening has a pair of reinforced concrete towers approximately 145 feet high, which support the overhead box beam, serving to guide the top of the door panels and providing part of the roof enclosure. The door panels open at the center. They were operated by motorized cables and took about two minutes to open or close.

MCAS Tustin served as a major facility for Marine helicopter training and operations on the Pacific Coast and played a critical role in major U.S. military operations from 1942 to 1992, including Korea, Vietnam, and Operation Desert Storm, which were heavily dependent on helicopter operations.

The photographs in this story are by Brian Grogan. They are from the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) collection of the Library of Congress. HABS was established in 1933 to create a public archive of America’s architectural heritage. HABS was just one of many cultural New Deal programs initiated during President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s administration that offered relief to the unemployed during the Great Depression, while at the same time enriching American life both materially and culturally. Within weeks of receiving its approval, hundreds of unemployed architects were in the field recording for HABS. The HABS collection represents “a complete resume of the builder’s art,” ranging “from the smallest utilitarian structures to the largest and most Selectmonumental.”textcourtesy of City of Tustin and County of Orange document The Tustin Hangars: Titans of History, prepared by RBF Consulting, Irvine.

The hangars were entered into the National Register as a historic district on April 3, 1975, both for their historic connection with World War II and other conflicts and their status as two of the largest wooden structures in the world. In addition to being architectural and aviation icons, the mam moth hangars served as important cultural resources, both while the base was an active military installation and after it closed. On July 3, 1999, MCAS Tustin was officially closed, 57 years after the base and its iconic hangars arose from the farm fields of Orange County. The MCAS Tustin hangars remain landmarks and symbols for the generations of OC residents who worked in the defense industry, and the thousands of men and women who served at the Tustin base.

missions through submarine-infested waters for ships loaded with troops, equipment, and supplies. By 1944, just two years after the Tustin hangars were completed, the need for blimp patrols and escort missions along both coasts was fading fast.

In 1943, the number of ship sinkings dropped to 65 from the 1942 high of 454, then to just eight in 1944. The Tustin facil ity continued to serve as an LTA base until 1949, when it was Afterdecommissioned.WorldWarII,

“I was inspired to suggest black and white-themed art so it would not distract from the funky mid-century design we are embracing. Hawaii is this family’s happy place, where they have created many memories, so I wanted to transport them there while they live the busy lifestyle that they have for a family of six. We selected these prints by Tropical Darkroom from Society 6 and had them framed by The Plexi Gallery.”

“The nod to the nautical/beach life style is subtle in the ocean abstract painting in the great room…We try to present more sophisticated ocean palettes rather than literal shells and ‘beach’ signs.” BlueDoorMagazine.com

“The clients wanted to incorporate the beach lifestyle into the home, and to do so in a unique way — we had the clients’ photography printed on wood. It is a statement piece in the home—and a ‘nautical’ nod in a more abstract way that is personal and design-focused.”

Blue and white may make the ultimate coastal color combo, one that Mary Beth Christopher pairs in less expected ways. “There are so many ways to evoke the coast without doing it in a theme-y way,” says the Boston-bred, West Coast-based designer. “I love playing with more European coastal patterns in blue and white as a way of mix ing it up or popping a bright hit of indigo in an otherwise all-white kitchen. The best kind of coastal-inspired décor is fun, sophisticated, and completely original to your home.”

“This project involved about 30 to 40 trips to make the marble selection alone,” says Sylvester, referencing the expansive amounts of stone needed within the six-bedroom, nine-bathroom estate. Case in point: In the open kitchen, massive, consecutive marble slabs were required to create the visual flow from two waterfall islands to counters to backsplash. According to Sylvester, 16 con secutive marble slabs were required to achieve the look of dramatic consistency. And that’s just one element.

Building a 22,000-square-foot home comes with its own set of design challenges. There are not only massive amounts of coordination and time involved, but the sheer volume of materials required can also boggle the mind. Such was the case with this recently completed Crystal Cove estate, a hilltop compound positioned amid the property’s half-acre of coverage loggias, open-air court yards, and expansive terraces. The result of a collabo ration between Sue Capelli of Passione Inc., architect Eric Trabert of E.T.A. Residential Design, and Spencer Sylvester of SLS Construction, Inc., the recently com pleted residence marries palatial dimensions with a wel coming sense of warmth throughout.

The magnitude of home building starts from the entrance, where a 32-foot crystal chandelier waterfalls down the center of a floating spiral staircase and expands in every Exceptional amenities include an interior courtyard with multiple seating areas.

“Even for as large a home as it is, it still feels very inviting,” says Spencer. “There are very functional spaces, and the flow and the colors throughout make it feel like a warm home. There’s nothing cold about it.”

Located on the upper portion of Crystal Cove, height allowances expand to 35-feet height eleva tion, considerably higher than other parts of the gated community. The unique lot location offers another opportunity: Positioned sideways to the street, the home offers 150 feet of frontage, boast ing expansive ocean and canyon views. Below, a 3,000-square-foot subterranean garage has room for up to 15 vehicles. The hilltop perch also provides a unique sense of privacy and seclusion. With floor-to-ceiling disappearing glass walls, there is little distinction between indoors and out, both in the common areas as well as upstairs bedrooms, the better to drink in uninterrupted ocean and hillside views.

direction: Up to the soaring ceilings, which are in large part thanks to the home’s prime position.

Capelli capitalized on that privileged perch with a design scheme that leans into rich textures and natural materials over splashy color and distracting details. The result is a muted palette that echoes the home’s serene setting.

Good. We are beginning to see a more balanced market with more inventory and fewer bidding wars. Buyers now have more options to choose from, which means they can spend more time consciously picking the right home.

DO YOU SEE A MARKET CRASH AHEAD? No, I don’t, and all the data supports that. There are not enough homes on the market and buyer demand is still high. SHOULD BUYERS WAIT TO BUY? Don’t wait! Get ahead of the price reduction; now is a great time to negotiate on a property that has fallen victim to being overpriced.

I have had the honor of knowing and pleasure of working with artist Elizabeth Turk for close to 20 years. By way of her art, I always learn something new and am endlessly inspired. I enjoy being a conduit for artists like Elizabeth. Art has the power to create awareness and build conversations. Connecting people to art and facilitating art projects is the foundation of my business. Forming long-term working relationships elevates these experiences.

The installation features tall columns with circular ridges on the surface that undulate in and out in various patterns. Each sculpture is the physical manifestation of the soundwaves from recorded songs and calls of extinct and endangered wild birds. Each sound column includes a QR code to access the songs and calls represented in the sculpture, allowing us to hear songs that are gone forever, or soon may be.

WoelfferLobdell,Diebenkorn,Altoon,Realities:Alternate

Norton Simon wasn’t a big fan of California contemporary art, so when he took over the Pasadena Art Museum in 1974, his prefer ence for European and Asian art went on permanent display. The museum’s contemporary collection is still mined for exhibitions such as Alternate Realities, which focuses on the work of four groundbreaking West Coast painters in the 1950s and 1960s: John Altoon, Richard Diebenkorn, Frank Lobdell and Emerson Woelffer. “Like most NSM exhibitions, this one is drawn from the storeroom, from an amazing trove of then-contemporary art assembled before Norton Simon’s takeover,” says art critic William Poundstone on the LACMA on Fire website. The Alternate Realities title of the show likely refers to the dialogue between abstraction and representation in the work. But perhaps there is an alternate multiverse reality where Walter Hopps (Ferus Gallery, Duchamp Retrospective, New Paintings of Common Objects, etc.) served a long tenure as director of the Pasadena Art Museum, Neutra or Lautner designed the museum, and California art is appreciated. Luckily, we enjoy our own alternate reality: OCMA. nortonsimon.org

Curated by Aindrea Emelife, Black Venus examines the historical representation of Black women in visual culture through over 30 contemporary artworks by 17 artists, including Deana Lawson, Zanele Muholi, Kara Walker, Carrie Mae Weems, and Coreen Simpson. The exhibition surveys the legacy of Black women in visual culture—from fetishized, colonial-era caricatures to the present-day recla mation of the rich complexity of Black womanhood. The exhibition includes works created between 1975 and today, juxtaposed with a selection of archival imagery dated 1793 to 1930. “This exhibition is a celebration of Black beauty,” says Emelife. “And an investigation into the many faces of Black femininity, and the shaping of Black women in the public conscious—then and now.” fotografiska.com/nyc/

When OCMA debuts in its new building this October, one of the five opening exhibitions will be California Biennial 2022. The biennial is a group exhibition hon oring OCMA’s contemporary art legacy, and is being curated by Elizabeth Armstrong, Essence Harden, and Gilbert Vicario. While we wait to learn which artists will be included in the California Biennial, we look to NYC this summer for refresher course in how exciting such exhibitions can be. Co-organized by Whitney curators David Breslin and Adrienne Edwards, Whitney Biennial 2022 is the 80th iteration of the long-running series of exhibitions launched by Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney in 1932. It features 63 artists and collectives, many with California connections. L.A.-based Guadalupe Rosales works with sculpture, photography, video, sound, draw ing, and community-based projects and collaborations. Theresa Hak Kyung Cha studied at the University of California, Berkeley. She remains an important figure for feminist writers, conceptual artists, and the field of Asian American studies. While painting is sometimes consid ered a reflection of identity, Matt Connors, who lives in California and New York, imagines the act of painting as a proposal for how identity comes to be. His work draws on design, art history, and architecture. whitney.org

The first major exhibition of Francis De Erdely’s work spotlights the classically trained painter’s portraits of regular people, such as dancers, workers, and musicians. De Erdely probed the uncomfortable realms of suffering in often harsh, angular compositions to create some of the most striking figurative paintings in California art. The paintings, created after De Erdely immigrated from WWII-era Europe to Southern California, depict the social reality of the time, shining a light on race, culture, and social stratification. “Each artist has their own way of capturing the human condition specific to their time and place,” says Julie Perlin Lee, Executive Director of Laguna Art Museum. “Striking Figures is an important exhibition as it brings to light the work of a lesser-known artist who connects us to the diverse people and history of California.” lagunaartmuseum.org Erdely

Best known as a founding member of the inter disciplinary art collective Fluxus, Alison Knowles has been an important figure in the avant-garde community and has created groundbreaking exper iments that have influenced contemporary art and artists for more than 50 years. The BAMPFA retro spective is organized by independent curator Karen Moss, formerly deputy director for exhibitions and programs at OCMA. It includes more than 200 objects that illustrate the monumental scope of Knowles’s still-active practice, which began in 1960 and has spanned multiple disciplines ranging from painting and printmaking to sculpture, installation, sound art, live performance, poetry, book art, and more. In 1971, she performed Identical Lunch at UC Irvine during a Duchamp Festival. “Knowles was pivotal in developing a notion of artistic labor that relied on unconventional materials and uncom mon strategies in fusing the bridge between art and life,” says former UCI professor Nicole Woods, who is completing a book on the artist. bampfa.org

International in scope, Women Painting Women offers female perspectives that have been underrep resented in post-war figuration. Painting is the focus of the exhibition that features some 60 evocative portraits created by 46 women artists, from the late 1960s to the present. The artists include trailblazers like Alice Neel and Emma Amos, and emerging artists. All place women—their bodies, gestures, and individuality—at the forefront.

“The pivotal narrative in Women Painting Women is how these artists use the conventional portrait of a woman as a catalyst to tell another story outside of male interpretations of the female body,” says Chief Curator Andrea Karnes. “Replete with com plexities, realness, abjection, beauty, complications, everyday-ness, pain, and pleasure, the portraits in this exhibition connect to all kinds of women, and they make way for women artists to share the stage with their male counterparts in defining the female figure.” themodern.org

After a decade of exhibiting the looped-wire sculptures that made her famous, Ruth Asawa started making plaster masks of family and friends. Mask-making was her way of freezing time, she once said, taking a snapshot without the use of photography. The San Francisco artist made hundreds of these finely detailed, highly expressive masks of her children at different ages, public schoolchildren, friends, and local artists. She typically made two clay masks from each original: one to give to the sitter and the other to hang on the brown, shingled, exterior wall of the San Francisco home she shared with her husband, Albert Lanier, and their six children. Cantor Arts Center acquired Asawa’s 233 ceramic masks as part of its Asian American Art Initiative (AAAI), intended to transform Stanford into the leading academic and curatorial center for Asian American art. museum.stanford.edu

Diego Rivera believed in the power of art to educate, inspire action and trans form society. Diego Rivera’s America brings together more than 150 of Rivera’s paintings, frescoes, and drawings—as well as three galleries devoted to largescale film projections of highly influential murals he created in Mexico and the U.S. San Francisco was particularly important to Diego Rivera; it was the first place he painted murals in the U.S. and it was also where Rivera and Frida Kahlo remarried in 1940, after their brief divorce. The exhibition is the first to examine Rivera’s work thematically, with galleries dedicated to his favorite subjects, such as street markets, popular celebration, and images of industry.

The culmination of the exhibition is Rivera’s last U.S. mural, The Marriage of the Artistic Expression of the North and of the South on the Continent. Commonly known as Pan American Unity, the colossal work measuring 22 feet high by 74 feet wide is on loan from City College of San Francisco until 2024. “Because of his utopian belief in the power of art to change the world, Rivera is an essential artist to explore anew today,” says guest curator James Oles. sfmoma.org

Georgia O’Keeffe forged a career as one of the most significant artists of the 20th century. She became famous for her paintings of flowers, skyscrapers, and landscapes of the American Southwest. But her lifelong connection to photography has not been explored in depth. Curated by Lisa Volpe, Associate Curator of Photography at Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the exhibition reveals a new aspect of the Modernist artist’s career through nearly 100 photographs. The works reveal an artist using pho tography as another medium to explore her vision of the world and to capture the feeling objects and landscapes created for her. “Most of the photo graphs come five, ten, twenty years after she painted these things,” says Volpe. “It’s like these same scenes haunted her, and she kept trying to express them in different ways.” Complementing the photographs are paintings and drawings to represent the full scope of her career. denverartmuseum.org

Images of women and the world as seen by female fashion photographers Fashion photography produced by women, often unduly neglected, is the focus of the exhibition Female View: Women Fashion Photographers from Modernity to the Digital Age, which debuted at Kunsthalle St. Annen gallery in Lübeck, Germany, last spring. The exhibition opens September 24 at Museum Schloss Moyland in Bedburg-Hau, Germany.

GAZEFEMALETHE

The medium of fashion photography has been shaped by women for decades, but most photo publications and exhibitions focus primarily on the male gaze of the female body. Throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, countless female photographers have worked for influ ential magazines such as Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue , shaping the style of their time. Many had previously modeled for other photographers and knew the job from both sides of the camera.

Female View traces the transformation of the pho tographic image from the 1930s to the present day: from the fashion magazine to the showroom and the coffee-table book, to digital self-staging in social media. The world we live in is globally networked, and pho tographs, including fashion images, are uploaded and posted synchronously millions of times over. Our image perception is becoming faster, and so are fashion trends.

Fashion photographs have always been ephemeral things— designed to be admired, desired, and quickly forgotten—but they are no longer confined to the stillness of the magazine page. They are also part of a constant stream of fast-moving electronic images that flicker in and out of our awareness. Today, the fashion photograph must engage audiences ever more forcefully—commanding attention with bold state ments and powerfully invoked sensations.

She took fashion, nude, and advertising photos, and participated in the first Biennale Internazionale d’Arte Fotografica in Rome. Other international exhibitions in Paris and London followed. In 1938, Yva was banned from working in Nazi Germany. Plans for a departure together with her husband came too late. Yva, also known as Else Ernestine Neuländer-Simon, was deported in 1942 and presumed murdered in the Sobibor extermination camp.

Regina Relang (1908-1989) documented the haute couture in Paris for German fashion magazines and was one of the most successful photographers in Germany in the 1950s and ‘60s. She achieved international renown with photographic travel and fashion reportages that she started producing as an autodidact.

The American photographer Lillian Bassman (1917-2012) is famous for her innovative work in the darkroom; partic ularly notable are her high-contrast black-and-white shots of society women, actresses, and models from the 1950s and 1960s. Rather than photographing on a crowded set, Bassman worked alone with her models, often in domes tic settings, away from the gaze of male photographers. As Bassman herself remarked in 2006, ‘I think my contribution to the genre has been to photograph fashion with a wom an’s eye for a woman’s intimate feelings.’

All of the most significant shifts in Western notions of femininity that have taken place over the past century have been registered in fashion photography. Its emergence as a standalone genre early in the 20th century coincided roughly with the beginnings of widespread women’s suffrage. The brash ness of the flapper era, the can-do attitude of the war years, the struggles for racial and gender equality throughout the 1950s and ’60s, and, more recently, a growing awareness that gender itself is not a sim ple matter of male or female, but a continu um—all of these circumstances have been given expression in fashion—Eugeniephotographs.Shinkle

The 1970s-1980s era of the so-called ‘su permodels’ embodied two apparently anti thetical images of femininity—independent, self-possessed women who were also ste reotypically feminine and openly sexual. A former model herself, photographer Ellen von Unwerth, embraced this contradiction.

Born in Germany in 1954, she lives and works in Paris. In 1989, she shot Claudia Schiffer for a Guess fashion campaign, a commission which launched her career.

Flipping through a Vogue magazine to day will bring forth an encounter with a blast of colorful fashion images. Almost the entire first third of any copy, however, consists of ads for fashion, luxury, and beauty brands. And even in the follow ing sections, the shifts between editorial spreads and advertisements, some cov ering several pages, are hardly discern ible. The overall effect is an ingenious system targeted at making people want to buy the new looks. Fashion magazines are catalogues of items from the world of commerce. Whether in a campaign or an editorial shoot, the fashion image has a commercial context; its essence is de fined by its inherent commodity charac ter. The fact that the image tends to dis guise its character, to flirtatiously own up to it, or to downright deny it, is only a part of its marketing. Over time, the fashion image has developed strategies to deal with this ‘burden,’ in all kinds of different manners: playful, offensive, artistic, ag gressive, restrained, subtle. Fashion im ages have a powerful ally, too: the spirit of the age, the zeitgeist. Barth

Like many of her friends, she started as a teenager to document her eccentric outfits with her smartphone and to share the pictures online: ‘That was our own little culture,’ she says. The marginalisation of Black bodies in the media only be came an issue for her after she had moved to London for her studies. Today, Pinkerton works mostly with Black models, some of whom she finds in the streets of Kingston. In her fashion shoots, she continues the social media practice developed as a teenager: to postulate her own image culture utterly unfazed by the exclusionary mechanisms of prevailing fashion photography.

The appealing contrast between intimacy and deliberate dis play that characterises image production in the digital age is distinctly perceptible in the works of the Dutch artist Liv Liberg. Born in 1992 in Utrecht, Holland, Liberg was ten years old when she started photographing her four-years-younger sister Britt in their mother’s clothes—initially to imitate com mercial fashion images from glossy magazines. The portraits that she created over the years are powerful, some oppres sive, and others bizarrely strange. They offer multilayered comments on being a girl and becoming a woman and the significance of fashion in this process. Photos can now be shared and com mented on with a broad public— worldwide, within seconds, and with little effort. Since fashion thrives on imitation, visual impulses and rep resentation techniques have also circulated widely. Within just a few years, a complex and highly allu sive image culture has emerged, with classic motifs of 20th-century fashion photography being repeat edly referenced, modified, ironically twisted, or recontextualised.—Diana Weis

A little talk of work, maybe some networking and business deals on the side but, for the most part, the day allowed everyone to escape reality, ignore phone calls, and enjoy life. As Rick Campos, owner of Design Biz Survival Guide explained eloquently in a thank you note to the group, “It was more than just a day of art and networking—it was a valu able opportunity for me to connect with industry professionals outside of my normal circle of influence. This opportunity to re-engage is priceless to my business and my role as a leader in the design community.”

Laughter and fun-filled banter along with lively music paved the way for the 45-minute windy route, but as the group got closer, and art appeared from out of nowhere, the guests grew quiet as they took in the beauty of Villa Con Cuore. “It’s amazing to witness the transformation of our guests when they get closer, it’s like art possesses each person in a different way, finds a path to their soul and gives permission to each individual to let go of work and take a deep breath,” Hogan describes.

Certainly, this is no small undertaking, and Hogan and the Estate Partners group coordinated a day away for over 40 valued clients to load two luxury buses from Oceanside and leave the world behind just for a few hours.

Estate Partners and guests enjoying a day at the oasis of creativity that is Villa Con Cuore.

As the group disembarked, wine and champagne greeted them and it took no time for everyone to begin their journey, whatever that jour ney looked like. The pottery shack to the right allowed individuals to throw clay and find their creativity through sculpting. To the left, a huge art studio beckoned guests to enjoy Gastaldi’s prized art, which covers every wall from small and demure to large and breathtaking. Continuing down the path, an open beam forum with massive glass doors invited guests to grab a paintbrush and create their vision, their dreams, or just see what transformed when brush finds canvas. That was Gastaldi’s dream for Villa Con Cuore. “It’s a very special place, lots of miraculous things happen here,” he describes. “I was an artist from when I was very young, there’s something about it, there’s a purity to me. When I found the ranch here, I fell in love with it immediately. Of course, being an artist and having an opportunity to shape the land, is like creating art. It’s hard to describe, this is a place that is meant for people to meditate, just get into nature, connect, and collaborate on ideas and projects.”

LA FETE DEL’ OPERA 2 3 5 1 4

The Party of Brazil brings a touch of Rio de Janeiro to OC.

Guests came from Orange County and Los Angeles to enjoy an extravagant affair filled with groovy samba music, addictive dance moves, authentic Brazilian food, cocktails, and the most magnificent costumes you have ever laid your eyes on. The first portion of the night was Carnival Extravaganza with interactive activities, photo-ops, food, and drinks. That would have been a great party on its own, but then guests were invited to a multi-course seated dinner with interactive entertainment that was up-close and personal. After dinner, the event evolved into an epic dance party where guests got up on stage to samba the night away. Brazilian dancers entertained throughout the evening, and the 21-piece band that entertained was electric. Linda Young, President of Elite OC Productions and creator of La Fete del’ Opera, says it’s all about the fun, theme, mood, and music, and also the purpose. “It is wonderful to have a great time, but let’s not forget that giving back to the community and building awareness is very important,” Young says. Love Tribe Project was the benefiting organization this year. The nonprofit is committed to raising awareness and funds to help Maasai women and their families have access to clean, safe water solutions, renewable power options, and to build schools for their villages in Kenya. lovetribeproject.comlafetedelopera.com
