TWO MODERN MILESTONES

SHARJAH’S BIENNIAL

SPOTLIGHT ON DALLAS

Alfred Stieglitz’s portrait of Georgia O’Keeffe, circa 1920–22.

RADICAL CHIC

AHEAD OF HER TIME Georgia O’Keeffe’s pioneering Modernism extended beyond the ﬂowers and desert landscapes for which she is known. The Brooklyn Museum is taking a fascinating look at the artist’s ﬁercely independent life and how she used her distinctive style to forge a public persona.

Along with her own paintings and illuminating photographs of her by Alfred Stieglitz, Ansel Adams, Cecil Beaton, Bruce Weber and others, some of O’Keeffe’s garments from the 1920s to the 1980s are on display. With tailored suits, capes and caftans as well as white-collared black ensembles,

her elegantly androgynous wardrobe embodies a feminist desire to be judged by her work rather than by her gender – a concern still shared by women artists today. Georgia O’Keeffe: Living Modern, Brooklyn Museum, New York, through 23 July. —BELINDA BAKER SOTHEBY’S

THE SWEEPING ARC OF HISTORY

OBJECT WISDOM Since emerging from Beijing’s vibrant avant-garde art community in the early 1990s, 50-year-old Song Dong has become one of China’s leading Conceptual artists. Using everyday objects and the refuse of China’s rapid urban development, his works evoke life’s transience along with concerns about surveillance and control. The Rockbund Museum’s survey of Song’s production since the 1990s ranges from installations, paintings and videos to the presence of sixteen ﬁbreglass policemen stationed throughout the museum. Highlights include a dazzling gridded structure of frames and mirrors; a city built out of biscuits that visitors can eat; as well as scavenged windows, doors and electrical outlets that form living spaces for the impoverished. A brand-new work features 50 porcelain dolls – some cooking, sleeping or writing, others spinning decapitated heads on turntables – a sentimental and darkly comic representation of the artist’s past performances. Song Dong: I Don’t Know the Mandate of Heaven, Rockbund Museum, Shanghai, through 26 March. —IAN JOHNS

If this centenary year of the Russian Revolution presents an opportunity to revisit its extraordinary works of art, literature and fi lm, it also offers a timely reminder of the role art can play in periods of profound social and political change. At the Royal Academy of Arts in London, Revolution: Russian Art 1917– 1932 (through 17 April) covers the optimism of experimental art in the early years of the revolution through the emergence of Social Realism and the ensuing Stalinist clampdown. On show are works by major figures such as Marc Chagall, Wassily Kandinsky, Isaak Brodsky and Alexander Deineka. Of course, a flurry of projects related to this anniversary is taking place in Europe and Russia as well. The Hermitage Amsterdam has 1917. Romanovs & Revolution (through 17 September), in which more than 250 objects recount the gripping story of fashionable St Petersburg, including the explosive political and social events that surrounded the Imperial family’s reign. In Moscow, the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art is presenting its first Triennial of Russian Contemporary Art (through 4 May), a survey of recent art produced across the country. Looking ahead, the Deutsches Historisches Museum in Berlin will be staging 1917. Revolution. Russia and Europe (20 October–15 April 2018), a comprehensive look at events in Russia and their many-layered consequences for its neighbours to the west. Also this autumn, at London’s Tate Modern, Russian-born Conceptual artists Ilya and Emilia Kabakov will be unveiling a new exhibition (18 October– 28 January 2018) exploring the theme of failed utopia through their characteristic combination of melancholia, fictional characterisation and wit.

CREATIVE TIDES Since its 1993 inception, the Sharjah Biennial in the United Arab Emirates has offered an important platform for contemporary artists in the Middle East. Its 13th edition, curated by Christine Tohmé, director of the Beirut-based Ashkal Alwan (the non-proﬁt Lebanese Association for Plastic Arts), features more than 60 artists. The diverse lineup includes Colombian-born painter Oscar Murillo, Palestinian video artist and sculptor Shadi Habib Allah, Tokyo-based animator and painter Takashi Ishida, Puerto Rican multimedia duo Allora & Calzadilla, as well as the international art collective Futurefarmers. All are responding to the idea of tamawuj, an Arabic word for the rise and fall of waves or an undulating appearance. Along with talks, workshops and a yearlong education programme, the Biennial has launched artistic initiatives beyond Sharjah, beginning in January in Dakar. A ﬂuid exchange of ideas continues with events in Istanbul (May), Ramallah (August) and Beirut (October). 13th Sharjah Biennial, various venues, 10 March–12 June, Sharjah, UAE. —BB

Whether it’s capturing a thought, an embrace, an outstretched arm or clasping hands, the work of Auguste Rodin is unmistakable. The French sculptor’s fascination with the human ﬁgure, and his lifelong effort to show the human body as it really is, made him a pioneer and a critical link between traditional and Modern ﬁgurative sculpture. The Grand Palais and Musée Rodin in Paris mark the hundredth anniversary of his death by bringing together some 200 examples by the artist, whose restless experimentation with form, scale and composition resulted in remarkable works in plaster, bronze, marble, ceramics and on paper. Along with lesser-known works and famous pieces such as The Kiss and The Thinker are paintings, drawings and sculptures by artists inspired or repelled by Rodin, ranging from Picasso and Joseph Beuys to Annette Messager and Antony Gormley. Other Rodin exhibitions can be found at San Francisco’s Legion of Honor (through 9 April) and the Groninger Museum in the Netherlands (through 30 April). Rodin Centenary Exhibition, Grand Palais, Paris, 22 March–31 July. —IJ

LONE-STAR ATTRACTIONS This year’s Dallas Art Fair (6–9 April), one of the most engagingly casual events on the art calendar, is hosting more than 90 galleries from sixteen countries in the downtown Art District’s Fashion Industry Gallery. Along with presenting such exhibitors as Gagosian, Anthony Meier Fine Arts and Galerie Sébastien Bertrand, the fair opens leading art collectors’ homes and warehouses to attendees with the right passes and reservations. The beauty of the event lies in its intimate size as well as its convenient location. Right next door is the Dallas Museum of Art , where Mexico 1900–1950 (12 March–16 July) takes an in-depth look at the birth of modern Mexico through work by Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco, Ángel Zárraga, Nahui Ollin and Rosa Rolanda. After your visit, relax in the gardens of the nearby Nasher Sculpture Center, next to works by Alexander Calder, Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth and many others.

(through 30 April), which displays the sculptor’s prolific work as a printmaker since 1972 – these highly textured Minimalist beauties have a physical presence all their own. Adjacent to the Arts District, The Joule hotel offers a luxurious base and a gallerylike experience, with a rotating installation of artworks by the likes of Andy Warhol and Ellsworth Kelly adorning the premises. And while the city’s landmark Reunion Tower may offer impressive views, you can also appreciate the skyline from The Joule’s rooftop bar. Another downtown hotel option is The Adolphus. Built in 1912, the extravagant Beaux Arts building is emerging from a $40 million renovation that includes brand-new guest rooms and a refurbished lobby and bar. For a quirkier choice, the boutique Hotel ZaZa puts guests between uptown shopping and restaurants and downtown cultural highlights. Downtown Dallas is a cluster of skyscrapers hosting the headquarters of oil firms that long defined the city’s early years and those of banks that shape it today. But across from the Arts District is Klyde Warren Park , a five-acre green oasis perched atop a sunken freeway. It’s an ideal place to unwind, especially at restaurant Lark on the Park, whose bright and breezy seasonal menu complements its laid-back, light-fi lled ambience. Equally feel-good is Gemma in Knox-Henderson, an uptown district of antiques shops, bohemian boutiques and rated restaurants. Owners Allison Yoder and Stephen Rogers bring a

Californian vibe to the menu and wine list in an intimate dining space of soothing blues and whites, with an inviting bar and open kitchen in the back. Near the art fair, CBD Provisions is a good choice for breakfast or a sandwich with a gourmet twist. But if you seek that Texan steak experience with a difference, try the Texas Wagyu rib-eye with black truffle and mole negro at Flora Street Café, the latest venture by award-winning chef Stephan Pyles. Fort Worth, just 45 minutes from Dallas, has its share of great museums, too. Visit the Louis Kahn-designed Kimbell Art Museum and marvel at his use of vaulted concrete and natural light. The building is the ﬁtting venue for Louis Kahn: The Power of Architecture (26 March– 25 June), a survey of the work of a man who imbued his Modernist creations with the gravitas of ancient monuments. Pieces that are usually scattered across museums and private collections have been brought together at the Modern Museum of Fort Worth for Donald Sultan: The Disaster Paintings (through 23 April). Sultan’s monumental 1980s landscape series depicts conﬂagrations and urban decay with almost Turneresque otherworldliness. In stark contrast, the museum is about to feature Katherine Bernhardt (8 April–9 July), whose textile-based abstractions and patterned Pop imagery can be lush and vibrant with a touch of kitschy humour – qualities you may well come across while visiting Texas. –IJ (Clockwise from far left) The Lark on the Park restaurant; Untitled, 2016, by Katherine Bernhardt, the subject of a show at The Modern in Fort Worth; Christopher Le Brun’s Stop, 2015, and Walter Robinson’s Romance, 2013, both on view at the Dallas Art Fair; and the south galleries of Louis Kahn’s Kimbell Art Museum, which is hosting a retrospective of the architect’s work this spring.

Built in 1964, this award-winning Philip Johnson masterpiece will never be duplicated. With an exquisite and sensitive update completed in 2008, the lightfilled house features elegant living spaces, a stunning double staircase, a dining room with an arched canopy, five luxurious bedrooms and eight baths. The nearly seven parklike acres are home to a media house, a Modernist cabana, a pool and a tennis court.

THE VINE

BEST OF BURGUNDY Domaine de la Romanée-Conti has been Sotheby’s top-selling wine producer FRANCOIS GUILLOT/AFP/GETTY IMAGES

for four years in a row – with good reason,

No other Domaine can claim to make wine solely from the top-ranked grand cru sites that are found across such notable vineyards as Le Montrachet, Échezeaux, Richebourg, La Tâche and Romanée-Conti, among others. In fact, DRC’s standards are so high that occasionally they will choose to release a premier cru – one step below a grand cru – made from younger vines, rather than lower the quality of their top-tier offering.

Undisputedly prestigious and highly coveted, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti is the most revered of Burgundian wines, whose acronym alone – DRC – commands the attention of anyone seeking to enter fine wine’s Valhalla. From monastic ownership, the Domaine first transferred to the hands of the Bourbon Prince de Conti; after it was dissolved following the French Revolution, the Duvault-Blochet family assumed ownership, consolidating and expanding the estate, a task it passed on to the current company principals, the de Villaine and Leroy-Roch families. Yet pedigree alone does not fully explain RomanéeConti’s prestige. This spring, as we look forward to offering a variety of DRC at auctions in New York, Hong Kong and London, as well as at our retail locations in Hong Kong and New York, five major factors stand out as the most important reasons why this Domaine consistently achieves the upper echelons of demand, price and acclaim.

PHOTONONSTOP / PHOTONONSTOP

as Mike Hoagland explains.

2. The Land In addition to its fully owned monopoles – areas controlled by one winery, a rarity in Burgundy – the Domaine is also the largest landowner in each of the red wine vineyards from which it produces grand cru red Burgundy. This is remarkable considering that all grand cru sites in Burgundy represent a mere two per cent of the region’s total vineyard area. It also demonstrates DRC’s commitment to acquiring land and ensuring that its holdings are well-situated. This shrewd management has led DRC to achieve sublime wines in the best vintages, as well as greatness in less heralded ones.

3. Quality Over Quantity Burgundy is the land of scarcity – it produces a fraction as much as other regions – and DRC is no exception with an average of 6,000 to 8,000 cases across all its crus annually. While the Domaine could make more, the philosophy of high-density planting of old vines keeps yields tantalizingly low, resulting in fruit with unparalleled intensity.

4. Tradition & Expertise Tradition and lineage extend to many parts of the Domaine, including to who is in charge of the cellar. Given that the current chef de cave, Bernard Noblet (pictured below), has been with DRC since 1985 and that he took over from his father, André, who spent 45 years in the cellars, the wines of DRC have been in trusted hands and reﬂect the Noblets’ unrivalled knowledge and memory.

5. The Intangible DRC represents the quintessence of Burgundy – an ethereal sum of many distinct parts. These wines express their site, pedigree, nuance and character with such consistent precision that they are often used as an example for the concept of terroir. With seemingly matchless depth of ﬂavour, inﬁnitely complex richness and incomparable concentration, the wines of DRC are truly in a class of their own.

ALL THAT GLITTERS

VIVIENNE BECKER

IN A NOUVEAU LIGHT Nature’s poetic beauty is captured in a rare and sublime collection of Art Nouveau jewels designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany.

(Above) An 18-karat gold, lapis lazuli, emerald and coloured diamond brooch designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany for Tiffany & Co. (Opposite) Intricately enamelled floral motifs decorating the chains of two necklaces by Louis Comfort Tiffany.

Say the name Louis Comfort Tiffany and chances are that warm, rich, gem-coloured, stained-glass lampshades come to mind. These elaborate and highly desirable pieces certainly represent this artist’s incontrovertible legacy to American decorative arts. Yet much like RenéJules Lalique – whose successful career as a glassmaker overshadowed his original genius as a goldsmith and jeweller – Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848–1933) also created evocative pieces that have come to define American Art Nouveau jewellery. The talented son of Charles Lewis Tiffany, whose Tiffany & Company (founded in 1837) specialised in stationery, silverware and jewels, Louis Comfort started out as a painter and turned to jewellery around 1902, when he became Tiffany & Co.’s first design director. Two years later, one-of-a-kind pieces began to emerge from his workshop. Highly individualistic, organic, handcrafted studies of nature, his jewels and their cerebral beauty enthralled collectors and connoisseurs. In 1889, Louis Comfort visited the Exposition Universelle in Paris, where he met painter Alphonse Mucha and was overwhelmed by the glasswork of Émile Gallé. Influenced by these artists, Tiffany tapped into the aesthetic revolution of the time – a drive to elevate jewels into true works of art. In tune with the spirit of Art Nouveau, he found inspiration in nature, and while studying the structure of plants and insects – wild flowers, vines, as well as the intricately veined gossamer wings of dragonflies – he also explored enamels with the

many skilled artisans in his studio, including such gifted female enamellers as Julia Munson. Choosing gems like opals, garnets, native American Montana sapphires, amethysts and citrines not for their value but rather for their artistic worth and painterly effects, he combined them with enamels in exquisite compositions. The sophisticated derived shapes and gorgeous interplays of hues and materials represented a precious, wearable form of Art Nouveau. Today, these striking jewels are astonishingly rare, so the appearance of multiple superb examples immediately captures the imagination. Comprising brooches, earrings and necklaces, Sotheby’s April offering showcases the wide palette of Tiffany’s gemstones – his favourite being black opal, with its ﬂashes of deep blue and green – as well as his vivid colour compositions. One piece represents his celebrated interpretation of natural forms, with soft lilting leaves and scrolling vines framing a centre stone, while the jeweller’s best-loved grapevine motif clambers around the opals in a necklace, brooch and earrings set. A dramatic citrine pendant necklace with melting autumnal hues, ornamented with a bird’s nest and enamelled leaves, embodies the handcraftsmanship and lyrical details that make these jewels so appealing and keeps Louis Comfort Tiffany’s soulful artistry close to the heart. Vivienne Becker is a jewellery historian and a contributing editor of the Financial Times’s How to Spend It. Magnificent Jewels will be on view in New York, 21–25 April. Auction: 25 April.

EXTRAORDINARY PROPERTIES

Owning a castle requires respect for history and patience with renovations, but the rewards are priceless, writes Iyna Bort Caruso.

In the world of luxury real estate, perhaps no category of residence invites as much fantasy as the castle. Germany, England, Spain and, most notably, France, offer high concentrations of these historic buildings, where bedrooms number in the dozens and amenities include moats, towers and turrets. The US has its share of palatial counterparts, even if they lack 900-year-old masonry, says Elizabeth Corbin Murphy of Chambers, Murphy & Burge, a firm of restoration architects in Akron, Ohio. “The estates of Newport, Rhode Island, are wonderful,” she says, “but you can have a castle in any city depending on its culture and context.” Becoming king or queen of one’s castle outside the States can be surprisingly affordable. While fully restored palaces close to major centres like Paris, Geneva or London can exceed $30 million, others are on a par with two-bedroom flats in those same cities, says Alexander V G Kraft, chairman of Sotheby’s International Realty France. “Prices can start at $700,000, or even below for smaller, rural castles in need of some updating.” In areas with low labour costs and local tax incentives, buying such a property can be an attractive proposition. Still, owning a castle should be understood less as an investment than as a passion project. This kind of property requires “deep pockets and patience,” Kraft explains, and owners who approach restoration with respect and balance. “There’s nothing wrong with making a castle your home,” says Murphy, but buyers should understand that the reward of ownership is “being able to soak up the legacy of the families who invested in the property.” Kraft, the owner of a restored 19thcentury hunting chateau in Provence, understands the benefits firsthand. “One gets to live in an unusual, beautiful environment and become the guardian of a piece of history,” he says. “How many people can say that, even among the world’s elite?” New York-based writer Iyna Bort Caruso has contributed to The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Newsday and others.

THE VALUE OF ART

In the ten-part video series The Value of Art, global Sotheby’s specialists from across categories discuss the factors that determine an object’s value: authenticity, condition, rarity, quality, provenance, historical importance, medium, size, subject matter and fashion.

Episode 2

CONDITION How does an artwork’s physical state affect its value? Old Master Paintings specialist Jonquil O’Reilly explains.

Among the many criteria Sotheby’s specialists consider when determining the value of art, the most obvious may be condition, but evaluating it is no simple matter. Besides factoring in the date of the object’s creation, consideration should be given to the way its materials are known to age and to the various environments in which the work has been kept. Paint might be cracking on the surface, but is that typical of the artist’s canvases or a sign of damage? Once the piece has been bought, condition also plays into the decision to restore it, and there, tastes vary. Some collectors might want their Dutch landscape to appear as if fresh out of the studio, while others “might want it to look like it’s been sitting over a smoky wood ﬁre for the last century,” says Old Master Paintings specialist Jonquil O’Reilly, who shares her expertise here. aging gracefully “Condition is incredibly important, particularly the earlier the painting. I work with a lot of medieval Italian works, for example, and if you’re looking at a gold-ground painting from around 1300, realistically it’s not going to be in pristine condition. If you ﬁnd one that is, you are very lucky.”

Sotheby’s specialist Jonquil O’Reilly.

SOTHEBY’S

coming clean “One of the ﬁrst things you have to work out is whether it was painted with organic substances. When egg tempera is cleaned, for instance, even the gentlest of solvents can eat through the more delicate glazes on the surface. Let’s say

you’re in a museum looking at early Renaissance paintings. You see a Madonna, and her face might seem a bit green. That’s because the artist used a green ground as the foundation for the skin tones and built glazes on top of that. The more the painting has been cleaned, the more top layers are likely to be lost – hence the Madonna’s odd skin colour.” altered state “Deciding how much to restore something – or how much of an old restoration to remove – is very tricky. You have to try to anticipate what you’re going to ﬁnd underneath and determine how much value there is in a painting that’s been altered by a later hand, even if it was done for the good of the artwork.” Acquired Taste “There’s no one answer when it comes to restoration. Often a painting comes to us, and we say, ‘Actually, it’s better to offer this at auction not restored, so that the new owner can decide.’ Restoration is about personal taste. But that’s just one side of it. With a painting that’s been damaged, you have to decide how much you want it to be restored to what it would have been. In which case, you sort of knit its surface back together and make it more legible, while considering how much you really want to alter the artist’s primary strokes.” The Value of Art, an original video series presented by Sotheby’s Financial Services, is available online at sothebys.com/valueofart.

AT HOME WITH ART

BALANCE & BEAUTY A fine grasp of volume and void, culture and art defines Gloria Cortina’s interiors and furniture. Marisa Bartolucci meets the Mexico City-based designer.

hen it was time for college, Gloria Cortina desperately wanted to go to architecture school, but her fiercely conservative father forbade it, so adamant was he that she become a stay-at-home wife and mother. Ironically, marriage proved her liberation: “My husband Santiago introduced me to a world of possibilities,” says Cortina, now a much sought-after interior designer. Santiago’s great aunt was Inés Amor, the legendary founder of the Galería de Arte Mexicano (GAM), Mexico City’s first gallery of Modern art. Amor became Cortina’s role model. “I saw that being a woman could be extremely powerful,” Cortina explains. After the young couple moved to New York, Cortina studied at Parsons School of Design and worked for architect David Ling. Returning to Mexico City, she joined the architecture studio of Ricardo Legorreta and, some years later, opened her own interiors firm. Two years ago, she met New York design dealer Cristina Grajales, a native of Colombia, who recognised in Cortina a budding creator. Last autumn, Cortina introduced her collection of sculptural furnishings crafted from bronze, obsidian and quartz to great acclaim at Grajales’s gallery. The show then travelled to Mexico City’s GAM, bringing Cortina full circle to the institution whose founder first inspired her. Marisa Bartolucci caught up with the designer at this exciting point in her career.

When did you first become interested in design? I’ve lived and breathed design since childhood. When I was fourteen, I redid my bedroom three times. I can remember visiting houses as a girl and questioning how the owners came up with their arrangements. I’m incredibly interested in the relationship between people and space. You have worked for two acclaimed architects, David Ling and Ricardo Legorreta. What did you learn from them? David showed me that if you have the correct approach, you can design anything – colour, size and scale do not matter. Ricardo worked with such passion on expressing his Mexican aesthetic language that every minute I spent working by his side made me understand things more profoundly. Culture and aesthetics became my priorities. How would you describe your approach to design and your style? My understanding of how people relate to their surroundings allows me to translate my clients’ needs into an aesthetic language. I believe this process, along with an awareness of cultural heritage, brings greater meaning to what I do. As to a particular style, I am not sure I have one. I’m more about the pursuit of balance and beauty. What engages me most is how people feel and how well they are represented in my designs.

The sophisticated living room of a Mexico City residence.

One of your first designs was a coffee table called Mathias. Who is mathias? It is named after Mathias Goeritz, an icon of Mexican art, who in the past was considered more of a designer than an artist. This distinction is irrelevant. Goeritz erased the line between art and design, and questioned how light affects objects and perception. Several years ago, the sun was shining through the windows, and I started seeing threedimensional light forms. I began drawing in my head and thought of Goeritz. This table is my connection to him. You often use materials with a strong Mexican heritage. What is their significance? I always designed furniture for clients. But after meeting Cristina Grajales, I went on a creative journey and started listening more to myself and to my culture. I probed Mexican mythology, explored native materials and worked on a new expression of Mexican design. I think culture is what deﬁnes us. In this incredibly connected world, how can we have a clear voice? Only by being authentic. How do you incorporate your clients’ art collections into their interiors? Art is the ultimate expression of human vision. It really reﬂects the character of the space, so it is essential in any

SOTHEBY’S

design concept. We work with existing collections, but we also build them and work with all sorts of commissions. In the past, you have said that your work frequently starts with a “three-way crack.” What do you mean by this? As in the letter “Y,” the three-part system represents the perfect balance for me: if you only have two parts you are missing the fundamental element. Working with a “threeway crack,” you can’t miss the relevance of the relationship between volume and void. The presence of materiality allows for the presence of negative space. It’s just a perfect balance. What is keeping you busy these days? I’m currently working on very ambitious, mainly residential projects. I’ve been incredibly fortunate in getting my clients to think of their homes as an aesthetic journey. Looking ahead, I am also developing a new concept for Cristina’s gallery for The Salon: Art + Design fair in New York this November, which has me working with butterﬂies as symbols of hope. # Marisa Bartolucci lives in New York, where she writes about art and design.

AMBITION

ocated in the French countryside near Fontainebleau, set like a jewel in the centre of a rectangular moat, surrounded by spectacular French formal gardens, the Chateau de Vauxle-Vicomte may be this country’s most historically and aesthetically significant best-kept secret. As the first large-scale collaboration between three major 17thcentury figures in architecture, interior decoration and landscape design, the estate directly inspired Louis XIV’s Versailles. And as the highly sophisticated combination of Louis Le Vau’s magnificent Baroque architecture, artist Charles Le Brun’s imaginative decorations and André Le Nôtre’s exquisite jardins à la française, it is a true gem. Still, Vaux-le-Vicomte, the largest private chateau in France, has not received the international recognition it deserves. But Alexandre de Vogüé, who manages his family’s historic landmark with his brothers Jean-Charles and

SOTHEBY’S

Ascanio, is determined to change that. “Vaux is not known at all outside of Paris, nor in the United States,” says Alexandre de Vogüé. Awareness among foreign and domestic visitors alike is sure to increase as an ongoing series of extensive restorations is completed. One such project, the refurbishment of Le Brun’s spectacular Baroque ceiling paintings in the Chambre des Muses, will be unveiled on 25 March when the property reopens for the season. Erected between 1658 and 1661, Vaux-le-Vicomte was dreamed up by Nicolas Fouquet, who served as superintendent of ﬁnances for the young Louis XIV from 1653 to 1661, during which time he managed to reestablish the war-depleted French treasury and considerably embellish his personal fortune. “At the time, how you showed your wealth demonstrated your intelligence,” explains de Vogüé, who oversees the chateau’s communications and patronage. A fervent supporter of the arts, Fouquet enlisted great talents to design his new estate: Le Vau, the architect of the elegant houses on Paris’s Île Saint-Louis; Le Brun, an

The ambitious Fouquet had a novel master plan. The creative trio would be given “a lot of money,” says de Vogüé, “and be free to do what they wanted, but the result had to be a completely new style, as bold and audacious as possible, and they had to work together, hand in hand.” That they did. At Vaux-le-Vicomte, harmony reigns on a grand scale. Steeped in the chateau’s history, de Vogüé explains that the young Louis XIV observed what his superintendent was doing – using art, architecture and landscaping to convey his power – and took away a crucial lesson. He continues: “The king planned to take it to another level at Versailles, which was then just a rustic hunting lodge, to show Europe and the world the extent of his own power.” But by 1661, when Vauxle-Vicomte’s buildings were being completed, Cardinal Mazarin, the Sun King’s all-powerful prime minister, died, and things changed. Aware that Fouquet would be competing with him for Mazarin’s position, Jean-Baptiste Colbert – a war commissioner who managed Mazarin’s financial affairs – had poisoned the king’s mind with accusations that Fouquet was embezzling from the royal coffers and raising an army. So by the time the flamboyant Fouquet honoured the Sun king at his chateau on 17 August 1661 – offering the most extravagant entertainment the French court had ever seen – his fate had already been sealed. Arrested three weeks later, Fouquet spent the rest of his life in prison. Vaux-le-Vicomte’s treasures were sequestered by the King, but the architecture, gardens and Le Brun paintings that dazzled from the ceilings of Fouquet’s formal state room, the Chambre des Muses and the Salle des Jeux, remained intact. Fast-forward two centuries to 1875, when de Vogüé’s great-great-grandfather Alfred Sommier, a sugar magnate, bought Vaux-le-Vicomte. “He came for the Le Brun paintings, especially those on the ceiling of the Chambre des Muses – he loved art,” de Vogüé explains. If Sommier was the first to restore the chateau’s 17th-century grandeur, his greatgrandson, Patrice de Vogüé, Alexandre’s father, took up the mantle a century later. After receiving the chateau as a wedding present in 1967, Patrice opened it to the public in 1968 and instigated a programme of restorations in 1976. Repairing six acres of roof took six years and cost “seven times” what is being spent on current work, Alexandre notes, but this crucial investment ensured the chateau’s preservation for the next generation. Walking through Vaux-le-Vicomte today is to understand Fouquet’s genius in bringing these masters of form together. The sun breaks through the clouds to dazzling effect as you cross the Grand Salon, whose soaring dome and panoramic views of seemingly infinite gardens captivate visitors. “This room is a symbol of the transparency that inspired the Sun

“VERSAILLES WAS BUILT TO INTIMIDATE,” SAYS PATRON ALEXIS GREGORY. “BUT VAUX CAN BE COSY.”

King’s Versailles,” de Vogüé notes. In the Chambre des Muses, Le Brun’s fabled ceiling – decorated with the nine muses and two remarkable paintings, The Triumph of Fidelity and The Night – is behind scaffolding. “None of the canvases are one hundred per cent 17th-century painting,” de Vogüé explains. “Fifty to ﬁfty-ﬁve per cent are 17th-century, and the rest have repainting, mainly from the 19th-century and 1976 restorations.” The canvas of The Triumph of Fidelity has been brought down and placed against a wall for easier access. Four conservators are retouching part of the picture where the black serpentine form of Envy is visible. At the top of the scaffolding, more restorers are working directly on the ceiling. “The task now is to decide if the restoration has been badly done and if we can see original 17th-century painting under it,” de Vogüé says. “Then, we can do nicer retouching or we can decide if the repainting is okay.” Vaux-le-Vicomte’s team of restorers is headed up by the atelier of Ariel Bertrand, who worked on the Galerie des

Glaces at Versailles, with the participation of Bénédicte Gady, a Le Brun specialist and member of Vaux’s scientific committee, founded two years ago. These scholars work like detectives. “Gady was working at the Louvre’s Cabinet des Dessins and sent me a drawing of the same Le Brun nude that was completely lost to water damage on our ceiling,” de Vogüé notes; it is being used to model lost images. He himself solved an uncertainty around the damaged drapery and arms of Calliope, the muse of epic poetry, when he was doing research at Paris’s Musée Carnavalet and found an identical image that Le Brun had created for a long disappeared town house. Such extensive and meticulous work requires time and money, of course, but the $450,000 restoration of the Chambre des Muses is being financed by American collector and former book publisher Alexis Gregory, a longtime visitor to the chateau who has become a de Vogüé family friend. “It’s terrific, a brilliant creation and the centre of everything,” says Gregory, a devoted supporter of preservation efforts in Venice and elsewhere. “Versailles was built to intimidate, but Vaux can be cosy,” adds Gregory, who is so at home there that he celebrated his 80th birthday in the company of Le Brun’s muses. While growing up at Vaux-le-Vicomte seemed “normal” to the three de Vogüé boys, Alexandre concedes that he “didn’t realise at all the privilege I do feel I have today – the huge privilege to preside over Vaux’s destiny.” And so at age eighteen, reluctant to move into his parents’ lifestyle, he took a break – a long one. “I was a mountain guide in Chamonix for fifteen years,” he says. “About five years ago, I began to think, ‘Isn’t it time to come back down to earth and save what needs to be saved – this big chateau that has been in my family for almost a century and a half? So I came back and learned.” As did his brothers, who also took sabbaticals before returning: Jean-Charles was first, when he came to help their father fifteen years ago, and Ascanio arrived two years ago. Today, if Alexandre de Vogüé is a chatelain, he’s a 21stcentury version. “We represent a completely different generation,” he remarks. “I hate tweed, I don’t hunt or go to fancy parties. We don’t care about the aristocratic part of this life.” What the brothers do care about are imaginative ideas that help owners of historically significant estates preserve their family’s heritage, from donors’ “adoption” of Vaux treasures to the application of Alexandre’s mountaineering skills to change the lights that illuminate the chateau’s exterior. Roping up and scaling the facade to replace a light “saves the thousands of euros that calling in a special company” would cost each time, he notes with a smile. Clearly, at Vaux-le-Vicomte, Fouquet’s innovative and ambitious heart is still beating strong. ( Paris-based Jean Bond Rafferty writes about art, interiors and design.

THIS MUST BE THE

t is no surprise that the idea of place runs throughout the 2017 Whitney Biennial. This year’s edition (17 March–11 June) is the ﬁrst in the Whitney Museum of American Art’s two-year-old downtown home, a Renzo Piano-designed building that has become the nucleus of Manhattan’s Meatpacking District since it opened in May 2015. This venue offers a very different experience from past Biennials at the museum’s former location. In Marcel Breuer’s Upper East Side landmark, thick concrete walls and an abundance of stone conveyed a certain amount of gravitas, but with a fortress-like insularity. By contrast, the new Whitney connects site and city in a way that the inward-facing Breuer building does not, like the long-missing ﬁnal piece of a puzzle that expands east across Greenwich Village and west along the Hudson River. “The building helps to set up a real conversation with the city,” says the museum’s Christopher Y Lew, who co-organised the show with independent curator Mia Locks. “A lot of the artists are excited at the prospect of engaging with the building.”

Postponed by a year so that the curators could make the most of the new surroundings, this Biennial includes 63 participants ranging from artists in their twenties to such seasoned practitioners as Jo Baer and Larry Bell, age 87 and 77, respectively, along with artist collectives. With media including painting, sculpture and film along with performance, virtual reality and video game design, this Biennial feels particularly all-encompassing. And while organised during the lead-up to the 2016 US Presidential election, the exhibition was not conceived as a response to the political climate. “People often ask us about that, but the artists were thinking through a lot of these ideas long before the election was fully on the radar,” says Locks. If the show “is by nature socially responsive,” she adds, “it’s more of an entwining and enmeshing than a direct reaction.” A fitting theme in a building that is a feat of urban and civic transformation, place emerged in multiple ways as an intensely relevant and fertile approach to digging into current events. From “the importance of place and land” to “the individual’s place in a turbulent society,” to how place factors into “how we all live together,” the idea was on artists’ minds, as the curators discovered while they toured the country to make their selection of participants. “There was no predetermined notion of what the show should be,” says Lew. “It came out of conversations with artists and what we were seeing in studios.” Adds Locks: “The conversation kept returning to large questions about what was happening in this country, how people are thinking about collectivity and about more imaginative ways of considering infrastructure.” In many cases, the artists’ investigations directly involve the Whitney’s building and environs. The New Orleans native Zarouhie Abdalian has created a site-specific audio project: installed on a staircase landing linking two outdoor terraces, Abdalian’s piece incorporates the sounds of tools used in the meatpacking and shipping industries that once dominated this waterfront district; it points to the disappearance of that manual labor in the late-20th century. For Los Angeles artist Samara Golden and Brooklyn-based Raúl de Nieves, the Whitney’s wide windows and views have inspired new works – Golden looking out toward the river and de Nieves east, toward the city. In its ongoing Debtfair project, the collective Occupy Museums addresses the financial pressures incurred by artists with an open call for submissions from debt-drowned creators across the US. Its contribution to the Biennial, Stress, Fear and Anxiety Bundle, 2015, comprises paintings, sculptures and drawings by ten artists whose collective debt totals more than $732,462 and is embedded directly into the museum’s walls. In some cases, the site-specificity transcends the physical architecture. “More than one artist asked what the IT network was like in the building,” says Lew. Among them is Irena Haiduk, who has set up a Wi-Fi network that

piggybacks on the Whitney’s. When museumgoers access the network on their devices, they discover that a “.yu” extension has been added to the URL of any website they visit as a kind of ghost network of the former Yugoslavia. There is a second aspect to Haiduk’s project: Once on the network, visitors are invited to make investments into a virtual cooperative bank the artist has set up. The funds will ultimately be used to purchase land to counter foreign development in Serbia. Not all variations on the theme of place are so global in scope, or in such unconventional media. Sculptor Larry Bell, for instance, is showing his largest installation ever, a series of red cubes within cubes that become increasingly transparent and change hue as you move by them on the outdoor terrace. “People know his work, but now he’s scaling up and thinking about how these minimalist cubes engage with the body,” says Lew, noting that Bell’s installation is conducive to slowing down and contemplating one’s own physical space amid the cubes and within the city. Compared with some of the more immersive experiences on offer, painting might seem to have two-dimensional limitations, but at the Biennial that medium also manages to speak to the importance of place. Portraits by artists such as Aliza Nisenbaum and Henry Taylor bring to mind the way our surroundings affect our experience of the world. Similarly, a series of paintings by Jo Baer – who is best known for her early Minimalist work – features rock formations in Ireland, where she used to live, as a way of exploring people’s ties to the land. Other than the fact that these paintings have never been shown in the US, “The reason why we were so excited about including them,” explains Lew, “is that they investigate the importance of place through landscape and a certain kind of reverence for the land – something that feels especially relevant now.” As for the emotional power of place, one of the Biennial’s most political entries may be a disorienting, fourchannel, ﬂoor-to-ceiling video projection by the collective Postcommodity. Titled The Very Long Line, 2016, it shows the border between the US and Mexico whipping around four gallery walls. “We selected that piece almost a year ago,” says Locks. “Now, of course, it has a different resonance, and if anything, it is more pertinent.” Even at their most topical, the artists celebrated by the Biennial can be counted on to transcend the everyday. # Meredith Mendelsohn is a Brooklyn-based art and design writer and a contributor to Taschen’s forthcoming book on photographer Marvin E Newman.

CENTURIES of STYLE Drawing on a rich archive of fashion, jewellery and more, Chatsworth’s most ambitious exhibition yet tells the story of the grand estate and its inhabitants through the clothes they wore. James Reginato meets the designer who’s bringing it all to life.

hatsworth House, the Derbyshire seat of the Dukes of Devonshire and home to the Cavendish family for ﬁve centuries, has long been celebrated as one of the great treasure houses of England. Its stupendous holdings of Old Master drawings, paintings and sculpture, among many other categories, contain superlative works by such artists as da Vinci, Canova, Rembrandt, Reynolds and Veronese. Until quite recently, however, another signiﬁcant collection under its roof remained virtually unrecognised: a trove of costume and fashion. This collection is soon to be revealed with the exhibition House Style: Five Centuries of Fashion at Chatsworth, on view 25 March through 22 October. And in April, a lavishly illustrated companion book, which includes a foreword by the current Duke as well as essays and rarely seen archival photos, is being published by Rizzoli. Both the exhibition and the book focus on the extraordinary Cavendish women, beginning with Bess of Hardwick, one of the most powerful nobles of the 16th century, and Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, the 18th-century

“Empress of Fashion.” In the 20th century, Chatsworth’s legacy of style continued with such ﬁgures as Adele Astaire, sister and dance partner of Fred Astaire and wife of Lord Charles Arthur Francis Cavendish; Kathleen “Kick” Kennedy, a sister of John F Kennedy and wife of the Marquess of Hartington, heir apparent to the 10th Duke of Devonshire; and of course, Deborah Devonshire, Chatsworth’s chatelaine for a halfcentury, and her sister Nancy Mitford. More recently, the Devonshire glamour has been upheld by a generation that includes models

BEFORE THE EXHIBITION WAS SUGGESTED, “I HADN’T PROPERLY REALISED HOW MUCH ‘FASHION’ THERE IS AT CHATSWORTH,” NOTES THE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE.

Stella Tennant and Laura Burlington, who in 2007 married William Burlington, Earl of Burlington and heir to the present Duke. It was Laura, Countess of Burlington, a former stylist for Harper’s Bazaar UK, who conceived the exhibition. During weekend visits to Chatsworth, she became dazzled by the garments and accessories of every sort that she found hidden in cupboards and attics. Her suggestion to organise a fashion exhibition at Chatsworth was met with ready approval by her father-in-law. “I hadn’t properly realised how much ‘fashion’ there is at Chatsworth,” he writes in the book’s foreword. Following the Duke’s green light, Lady Burlington conscripted an array of talent to produce House Style, beginning with Hamish Bowles, international editor-at-large of American Vogue, who served as curator. Visual and performing arts polymath Patrick Kinmonth, meanwhile, took on the role of creative director and designer, along with Antonio Monfreda, with whom Kinmonth has worked on some memorable fashion exhibitions in recent years, including 2006’s AngloMania: Tradition and Transgression in British Fashion at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in New York. “No one could have been better placed than Laura to mastermind this project: she is extremely interested in contemporary art, she has been a signiﬁcant model, and she loves clothes, design and art,” Kinmonth said recently. “The genesis of the show was a conversation between Laura and Hamish, when he was staying for a weekend at Chatsworth. They began kicking the ball around, talking about ﬁnding a way into this

SOTHEBY’S

collection, which is just so varied and extraordinary.” But unlike many conversations, this one wasn’t just talk. “She didn’t let Hamish off the hook,” Kinmonth continues. “And, then, Hamish put me on the hook.” As he commenced work on House Style, the Anglo-Irish Kinmonth – who has had a protean career as a writer, architect, set- and costumedesigner, director and, most recently, as a designer of interiors and landmark exhibitions – was both challenged and delighted by the embarrassment of riches he confronted. “When we began going through Chatsworth, we started opening boxes, opening wardrobes, opening trunks, lifting lids – objects just kept appearing and we kept ﬁnding more and more things. Robes of state that family members had worn at coronations, couture gowns, liveries, military uniforms, clothing for riding, hunting and shooting. With so many objects, it became a gargantuan project,” he recalls. “Clearly, there has been a constant interest in fashion in the family throughout the 500 years the show covers,” Kinmonth continues. “I started to make connections between the clothes and the incredible collections of art, prints, drawings and books in the house. I started to conceive of dialogues between the people who have lived in the house and these objects.” As a result, House Style – which is made possible with the support of principal sponsor Gucci, together with Sotheby’s – is on display throughout the 297-room Baroque house, including in its most magniﬁcent interiors. The show opens in the portrait-lined Painted Hall with “a big statement,” says Kinmonth: an oversize photograph of Stella Tennant dressed as a punk, confronting her forebears in their state regalia. Many of the rooms suggested subjects, he adds. “The chapel has a piece by Damien Hirst that has an almost pagan quality. That drew me to the idea of the circle of life. So we have clothes from christenings and funerals.” Another section is devoted to the Devonshire House Ball, a grand 1897 affair thrown by the 8th Duke and Duchess at Devonshire House, their London residence, which was originally designed for the 3rd Duke by eminent architect and landscape designer William Kent and built between 1734 and 1740. While spectacular entertainments here were customary, the milestone of Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee offered the family “the perfect opportunity to give the ball of the century,” Lady

Sophia Topley, a sister of the present Duke, writes in her essay for Rizzoli’s House Style. The fancy-dress ball – the invitation stipulated that attire should be “allegorical or historical before 1815” – drew the crème de la crème of British and European royalty and aristocracy. While the Prince of Wales came as a Grand Prior of the Order of St John, it was Louise, the Duchess of Devonshire, who stole the show. Portraying Zenobia, Queen of Palmyra, she had her gown designed by the House of Worth, which fashioned a skirt of gold gauze appliquéd with tinsel medallions and peacock plumes spangled with sequins, worn over an ivory satin underskirt wrought with silver thread and diamonds. Kinmonth’s approach to exhibition design is similar to his opera direction – he is currently preparing productions of Mozart’s La clemenza di Tito and Wagner’s Tannhäuser for the Badisches Staatstheater Karlsruhe and the Cologne Opera, respectively. “It is always about telling a story, setting up reverberations,” he explains. “The way you arrange objects can suggest connections to the viewer. But I try to do that without rubbing it in.” Although House Style covers half a millennium of history, the mood of the show is anything but fusty. Nothing ever is at Chatsworth anyway, Kinmonth says. “The current Duke is absolutely fascinated by the present and the future,” he notes. “The wonders of today are as welcome as the splendours of the past in the house. So I tried not to be nostalgic. I designed the show in a super avant-garde way.” Indeed, even though Kinmonth and his cohorts have masterfully conjured the spirits of past generations of Devonshires, visitors looking for ghostly ﬁgures will be disappointed. “Ghosts need a bit of damp, the odd leaky roof, but Chatsworth is so un-dusty: there is not much room for ghosts,” he says. “It is just so beautifully looked after. It’s the most pulled-together establishment on the planet.” The perfect backdrop for a presentation of the great house’s fashionable riches. $

“THE WONDERS OF TODAY ARE AS WELCOME AS THE SPLENDOURS OF THE PAST IN THE HOUSE,” SAYS EXHIBITION DESIGNER PATRICK KINMONTH.

PALM BEACH FLORIDA

Il Palmetto When architect Maurice Fatio was commissioned to build ‘Il Palmetto’ in 1930, the five plus acre ocean-to-lake estate was declared exceptional. Years later, Fairfax and Sammons oversaw a four year meticulous restoration of the Italian Renaissance-style palazzo, Il Palmetto’s architectural detail was maintained. The result is an estate without peer in Palm Beach. The main residence is designed as a series of pavilions connected by cloisters, beginning with the two story entrance hall. The pièce de résistance is the living room with a shield-decorated ceiling and architecturally-framed sunset views over Lake Worth. The formal dining room with a 16th century carved ceiling accommodates elegant dinner parties. The main level is completed by the chef’s kitchen featuring custom appliances, butler’s pantry, family room, theater, billiards room, library, office and pavilion, all circling a courtyard and fountain. An outdoor loggia connects the inner courtyard to a large swimming pool lined with dark blue tiles.

ANATOMY OF AN ARTWORK

VIRTUAL REALITY

It wasn’t until 1999, when then nineteen-year-old Alex Prager visited an exhibition

ALEX PRAGER Simi Valley, 2014

of William Eggleston’s work at the Getty Museum, that she considered being

$30,000–50,000

a photographer. Now, the Los Angeles native meticulously arranges the scenes

Photographs New York Exhibition: 30 March–4 April Auction: 5 April Enquiries: +1 212 894 1149

she photographs with stylised, cinematic melodrama. Enhanced with digital effects, Prager’s pictures evoke the atmosphere of films by Alfred Hitchcock, Jean-Luc Godard and David Lynch with a slickness that borders on the theatrical. From morbidly saccharine women to faces captured in a crowd, her subjects exude a noirish sense of isolation, even when they are rendered in her signature Technicolor aesthetic. “I never wanted to take a picture that looked realistic,” Prager has said, adding she’s always wished her photographs “to have that false appearance and marry the worlds of reality and fiction.”

5 1

Prager uses the software programme to compile images from the mass media and her own camera without attempting to conceal her manipulations. The ensuing visual flatness is a trademark of her style.

SOTHEBY’S

2. MID-CENTURY FASHION Makeup, clothing and pop culture references from the 1950s and 1960s abound in Prager’s bold compositions, but contemporary fashions also appear, keeping the time period ambiguous.

3. CROWDS Prager has long been fascinated by crowds – the subject of her first solo US museum exhibition in 2013. To create her staged worlds, she compresses large groups of aimless, apathetic-looking models into small spaces.

4. CINEMATIC EFFECT Prager, also a filmmaker, is inspired by the suspense and melodrama of Alfred Hitchcock and David Lynch, as well as the synthetic glamour of Los Angeles, a common setting for her photographs.

5. ROBERT FRANK Simi Valley shares similarities with Robert Frank’s 1955 Trolley—New Orleans, the cover image for his seminal photobook, The Americans. As in Frank’s picture, a wall of windows conveys the riders’ alienation and isolation.
