that year’s Costume Institute exhibition. The exhibition also sets the tone for the formal dress of the night. Vogue Editorin-Chief Anna Wintour oversees both the benefit committee and the guest list. This year’s co-chairs included Tom Brady, Gisele Bundchen, Katy Perry, Pharrell Williams, and Wintour. The event is The Costume Institute’s main source of annual funding. The exhibition features approximately 1 5 0 e x a m p l e s o f K a w a k u b o ’s womenswear designs for Comme des Garçons, dating from the early 1980s to her most recent collection. The exhibition is The Costume Institute’s first monographic show on a living designer since the Yves Saint Laurent exhibition in 1983. “Rei Kawakubo is one of the most important and influential designers of the past 40 years,” said Andrew Bolton, Curator in Charge of The Costume Institute. “By inviting us to rethink fashion as a site of constant creation, recreation, and hybridity, she has defined the aesthetics of our time.” The Independent attended a press
preview of the exhibit on Monday morning. Speakers included Thomas P. Campbell, Director of The Met, Caroline Kennedy, former US Ambassador to Japan, and Bolton. “Rei does it better than anyone,”stated Kennedy during her speech. Bolton also proclaimed that the designer “has tought us the body has no bounds and the potential of clothing is limitless.” Pieces are organized into eight expressions: Fashion/Anti-Fashion, Design/Not Design, Model/Multiple, Then/Now, High/Low, Self/Other, Object/Subject, and Clothes/Not Clothes. According to Kawakubo, “I have always pursued a new way of thinking about design . . . by denying established values, conventions, and what is generally accepted as the norm.” The exhibition and gala will be featured on the Museum’s website, as well as on social media via #MetKawakubo, #CostumeInstitute, and #MetGala. The exhibition will run through September 4.

John Graham: Maverick Modernist
Coffee Cup (La tasse de café)”, 1928. On The Arts Cover: Celia, 1944.
By Jessica Mackin-Cipro
“John Graham: Maverick Modernist” will be the first comprehensive retrospective in 30 years of the provocative artist’s work. The exhibit will be on view at The Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill beginning Sunday. Graham, born in Ukraine in 1886 to a family belonging to the hereditary Polish nobility, served with the Czar’s forces in World War I. It was in 1920 he made his way to New York to fulfill his dream of becoming an artist. Once in New York he studied at the Art Students League with Ashcan painter John Sloan. Through his work and his writings, Graham is credited with influencing a generation of New York artists including Stuart Davis, Dorothy Dehner, Arshile Gorky, Willem de Kooning,
Lee Krasner, Jackson Pollock, and David Smith. The show features over 60 paintings and a selection of important works on paper from Graham’s influential fourdecade career, providing insight into the development of the artist. Featuring works from 1923 to 1959, the exhibition explores how Graham became a significant figure in the development of the American approach to art-making during the first half of the twentieth century. His continuous self-reinvention mirrored the attempts of American artists to define a new direction. Alicia G. Longwell, Ph. D., the Parrish’s Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Chief Curator organized the exhibition. “In many ways Graham has been a hard artist to pin down, eluding as he does the oft-told narratives of

modernism. His protean career as painter, theoretician, and polemicist is long overdue for reconsideration and it is the aim of ‘John Graham: Maverick Modernist’ to show how this artist remains relevant today,” said Longwell. “Maverick Modernist” illustrates, chronologically, Graham’s style beginning with his cubist-influenced still lifes, nudes, landscapes, and portraits of the 1920s, followed by more abstract works in the 1930s, to his radical stylistic change in the early 1940s. In the 40s Graham veered from abstraction, instead producing portraits inspired by Renaissance and 19th-century French artists. The exhibition opens with SelfPor trait, 1923, painted during Graham’s first year of formal art study. His first solo exhibition came in 1928 at a Left Bank gallery when he was living in Paris. The year 1928 was a prolific year for the artist. Ten paintings from 1928 will be exhibited, including Coffee Cup (La tasse de café). From there, Graham’s style went on to become more abstract. During the 1930s, Graham
continued to push abstraction with still life paintings. Graham’s complete stylistic reversal in the 1940s was dramatic to say the least, following his decades-long dedication to abstraction in both his writings and his work. Through the paintings and works on paper from 1942 to 1950, the exhibit reveals the shift from his allegiance to Picasso and Matisse to the figuration in the mode of Raphael and Ingres. Striking depictions include three important portraits from 1944: Two Sisters, Celia, and Marya (Donna Ferita, Pensive Lady). The exhibition concludes with late works from the 1950s that reflect Graham’s eclectic interests including mysticism and the occult, as in the mixed media on paper portraits Head of a Woman, 1954, and Donna Losca, 1959. There will be a reception on Sunday at 11 AM for members of the Parrish Art Museum. The public is invited to the Museum on the day of the reception but pre-registration is suggested. The show will run through July 30. For more information visit www.parrishart. org.

de Kooning & Friends: A Tribute To The Past
Montes’ “DeKooning on Bicycle,” charcoal, pastel, and oil on Paper.
By Nicole Teitler
Mary Montes, a rural New Jersey native, grew up enamored with the New York art scene with countless memories visiting with her uncle. A New York artist during the mid-late 20th century, her uncle would paint a visual image, detailing stories of hanging out in Greenwich Village bars with the likes of Andy Warhol and Jackson Pollock. The more she
listened, the more intriguing this artistic lifestyle became. Decades later, Montes displays her solo exhibition titled “de Kooning and Friends” at the Sag Harbor Whaling & Historical Museum with an opening reception this Saturday from 6 to 8 PM. The show is her expressionistic tribute to the painters of the New York School era, an era that provides continued inspiration to many artists today.
“It’s really centered around [Willem] de Kooning . . . he’s someone I naturally connected with years ago. My energy as an artist is similar to his,” Montes detailed. “But it’s almost like Leo Costelli pulled it together . . . he’s a common thread.” Costelli was an art dealer whose gallery showcased contemporary art for five decades. de Kooning was an abstract expressionist who lived for many years in Springs. “Interchange” by de Kooning and Pollock’s “Number 17A” recently broke records when they sold for $500 million. From rags to riches, these notable figures are presented in Montes’ abstract expressionistic figures. “It feels like it’s important, the art history of America,” Montes explained. “The women started coming into it . . . they’re now as important as the men in the show. It’s about finding out what happened to the women who were
involved.” The women, some artists themselves, include Lee Krasner, Elaine de Kooning, and Ruth Klinsmann. These women provide inspiration for Montes’ exhibit. Now living in Miami, Montes offers a large contrast in her artistic styles -- from the colorful, playful, lightheartedness of the south, to the historic, serious tones of New York. Visiting her daughter Mary Stadnick, a Sag Harbor resident, Montes appreciates the individual influences from both locations. C u r r e n t l y, M o n t e s i s a l s o represented by Quogue Gallery as well as Michael Findlay Gallery. Recent artists that Montes admires are English contemporary artist Tracey Emin and the American artistic duo of Eric Fischl and April Gornik.

Independent Dining Here are a few recipes that work well for a Cinco de Mayo celebration. Dishes include grilled corn with cilantro butter, chicken and black bean quesadilla with mango and avocado salsa, and guacamole.
Grilled Corn With Cilantro Butter Ingredients (serves 4)
Chicken & Black Bean Quesadilla
8 ears of corn (shucked) 4 tbs butter at room temperature 2tbsp crème fraiche 2 tbsp olive oil 1 tbsp mayonnaise ¼ c grated parmesan cheese 1 tbsp lemon zest 1 tbsp salt 1 tbsp black pepper ¼ c chopped cilantro 1 tsp cayenne pepper 1 tsp cumin 1 tsp curry powder
With Mango & Avocado Salsa
Ingredients (serves 4)
2 lbs chicken breasts (cleaned) 1 package corn tortillas 2 tbsp red onion (minced) 1 mango (diced) 1 avocado (diced) 2 plum tomatoes (diced) 1 can black beans (washed) 1 tbsp ground cumin 1 tbsp paprika 1 tbsp chili powder 1 clove of garlic 1 lime juiced 1 handful cilantro (chopped) 3/4 c olive oil 1 c cheddar cheese (shredded) salt and pepper to taste
Method
Begin by preheating your grill.
Blend the garlic, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and half cup of olive oil together to make a marinade. Cover the chicken in the marinade and let it sit in the fridge for 20 minutes while you dice your vegetables for the salsa. Once the mango, avocado, tomato, cilantro, have all been chopped mix them with a touch of salt, and the limejuice. Now that the grill is hot, grill each of your tortillas on one side for about 20 seconds just to crisp them up a bit. Cook your chicken. When the chicken is cooked slice it into strips. To assemble the quesadillas sprinkle a bit of cheese on the uncooked side of each tortilla followed by some beans and chicken. Fold them in half and bake in a 400 degree oven for five minutes. Top with the salsa and enjoy a tasty treat.
Method
Begin by heating the grill to medium heat. A gas grill should be set around 350 to 375 degrees. Place the shucked corn on the top roasting rack of the grill. Mix all other ingredients together in a bowl until thoroughly incorporated. Brush the buttery mixture over the corn and shut the grill cover. Rotate and brush corn with cilantro butter every 3 to 4 minutes for 30 minutes. Enjoy.
Guacamole
Ingredients
4 avocados 1 lime 1/2 shallot (minced) 1/2 cup cilantro chopped 1 tbsp salt 1/4 cup olive oil
Method
Scoop the avocado from its skin and discard the pit. Place the avocado in a mixing bowl with the juice of the lime and all the olive oil and smash together with a fork. When you have reached your
desired consistency, mix in the shallot, salt and cilantro. Pair with your favorite chip and enjoy.

Calissa, a new Mediterranean restaurant located at 1020 Montauk Highway in Water Mill, will open its doors this Memorial Day weekend. The restaurant’s cuisine and design are inspired by the Greek Island of Mykonos. Calissa will mark the newest venture from the team behind Amali, Il Cantinori, and Periyali in New York City. The concept for the restaurant was initially created by managing partner James Mallios, who has been traveling to Mykonos for nearly two decades. In 2015, he brought the core Amali team to the island. Inspired by the architecture, beauty, and simplicity of Mykonos, the idea for Calissa was born. “We’re excited to expand our family of restaurants and officially open Calissa this summer,” said Mallios. “The Hamptons and Mykonos have been long regarded as top summer destinations and really set the standard for summer dining and nightlife worldwide. At Calissa we marry the two.” At a preview dinner in April The Independent was invited to experience the restaurant first hand and the menu did not disappoint. The dinner was held at sister restaurant Amali. Created by Executive Chef Dominic

Kentucky Derby Celebrations
By Jessica Mackin-Cipro
This Saturday marks the famous Kentucky Derby horse race. And while you may not be donning a Derby hat
while sipping mint juleps in Louisville, the East End has a few events that could be considered the next best thing. Since The Hamptons is no stranger
Mint Julep
to big hats and signature cocktails, it provides the perfect location for a Kentucky Derby themed event. Here are a few ways you can experience “The Most Exciting Two Minutes In Sports” when the first leg of the triple crown comes to a TV near you on Saturday. The Shelter Island Historical Society is hosting a Kentucky Derby Members’ Party on Saturday from 4 to 6 PM at the Havens Barn. Guests are encouraged to wear their ascot or favorite Derby hat. The event is free to historical society members. Not a member? Join for $50 by visiting www. shelterislandhistorical.org.
The Montauk Beach House is hosting a “Lucky In Kentucky” Derby Day Party on Saturday from 1 to 6 PM. Derby attire is encouraged and there will be a prize for the best dressed. The race will be live on the big screen and mint juleps, champagne, and southern fare will be offered. For more info visit www. thembh.com. For those hosting a soirée at home, the opportunities are plentiful for you to style your event with race day tradition. In true Kentucky Derby fashion, be sure to serve your guests mint julep cocktails. The mint julep, an iced drink consisting of bourbon, mint, and a sugar syrup, is the traditional beverage of the race. (See below for our mint julep recipe.) Ladies, be sure to dress in lavishly accessorized outfits with large, elaborate hats. Race day also gives men an excuse to be equally decked out. According to kentuckyderby.com, “The modern Derby man possesses an unparalleled color palette. Sundrenched, tropical colors in bold stripes or busy plaid and bright pastels steal the limelight.” Decorate with many roses at your Derby party. The Derby is frequently referred to as “The Run for the Roses,” because of the lush blanket of 554 red roses that is awarded to the winner each year. The tradition originated in 1883 when New York socialite E. Berry Wall presented roses to ladies at a post-Derby party that was attended by Churchill Downs founder and president, Col. M. Lewis Clark. This gesture is believed to have led Clark to the idea of making the rose the race’s official flower.
Kids Menu • Outdoor Dining • Casual Atmosphere Ingredients 4 fresh mint sprigs 1 tsp powdered sugar 2 tsp water 2 1/2 oz bourbon whiskey Muddle mint leaves, powdered sugar, and water in a glass. Fill glass with ice and add bourbon. Top with more ice and garnish with a mint sprig.
