VIZCAYA’S NEW EXHIBITION Vizcaya Museum and Gardens is set to open the next phase of Lost Spaces and Stories of Vizcaya, a two-part centennial exhibition celebrating the estate’s history through contemporary art. Phase II will venture into the estate’s gardens and leisure spaces. Vizcaya Curator, Gina Wouters envisioned this contemporary exhibit as a vehicle to revive forgotten aspects of Vizcaya’s history. “Following the tradition of James Deering’s patronage, we’ve commissioned local artists who have a unique perspective on Vizcaya’s place in Miami’s cultural landscape to bring back lost elements of the estate’s 10

original design,” says Wouters. “Through the Lost Spaces project we truly integrate our Contemporary Arts Program within the aesthetic and interpretive framework of the historic site.” The Contemporary Arts Program (CAP), now in its 10th year is a Vizcaya- based commission program that provides artists with the creative challenge to develop original, site-specific work in response to a historic site situated in the public realm. This second installation of Lost Spaces features local artists creating works in four areas related to Vizcaya’s gardens and

leisure spaces: the Casba, South Property, the Casino, and Basement Recreational Rooms. Like Phase I, these projects highlight elements of Vizcaya that no longer exist or are inaccessible to the public. Photo:David Almeida, courtesy of Vizcaya Museum and Gardens. Artwork by Brookhart Jonquil

Boat Show Updates THE 57TH FORT LAUDERDALE INTERNATIONAL BOAT SHOW WRAPS WITH POSITIVE FEEDBACK Feedback has been positive all around on the heels of the 57th Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, which wrapped on November 7th. “Many exhibitors reported that they left the show with strong leads and sea trials scheduled in the coming weeks,” said Efrem “Skip” Zimbalist III, president of Show Management, the company that manages and produces FLIBS for the Marine Industries Association of South Florida. Attendance at the five-day show was up 5 percent compared to the 2015 event. Among all segments of boats on display, the largest increase was boats in-water under 100 feet in length, which grew 2.9 percent over last year. Also notable, in the superyacht sector, seven yachts larger than 200 feet were the biggest collection in this size category in the show’s history. The general consensus from participants has been good. Mostly crediting brand innovation and product diversity as the driving factors to their success at the show. G Marine represented eight boats ranging in size from 43 to 110 feet from three European yacht brands, including Astilleros Astondoa from Spain, Fairline from Great Britain and Italian EVO Yachts. “When selling smaller boats, it is easier to close several deals at a show,” said CEO Alberto Galante.”When we have the right boat for the right 12

customer, we can shake hands on a deal. The show offers us the opportunity to present our builders’ capabilities in design and execution with a wide range of materials and technology. Chuck Cashman, chief revenue officer of MarineMax, one of the show’s largest exhibitors was extremely pleased with the show, “Simply put, our sales results at the 2016 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show were amazing,” said Chuck, “Quality and innovation continue to be extremely important in driving new boat sales. Additionally, our entry into charter facilitated several larger boat sales. All of our core brands experienced nothing short of excellent results. Overall, the dollars sold at the show were very close to an all-time record.” All eyes are now set on Miami Beach for the upcoming Yachts Miami Beach show, the next scheduled international event presented by the Marine Industries Association of South Florida, managed and produced by Show Management. The 29th Annual in-water-only display presentation will cover more than 1.2 million square feet of space over a milelong strip of Indian Creek Waterway. The show has also added the gorgeous new Superyacht Miami location at Island Gardens Deep Harbour on Watson Island to accommodate deep draft vessels up to 500’. The show is set for February 16 – 20, 2017.

A VISUAL JOURNEY Showcasing a collection of exclusive photos and informative descriptions, the Superyacht Book is a stunning visual journey of the flagships of 21 top shipyards. Highlighting the new trends in superyacht design with over 200 color photos, the hardcover book is perfect for design lovers, yacht owners, future yacht owners, yacht enthusiasts, and everyone who enjoys the finer things in life.

REGENERATION SERIES: Anselm Kiefer From The Hall Collection The work of Anselm Kiefer (born 1945, Donaueschingen, Germany; lives and works in France), one of the world’s most prominent contemporary artists, launches NSU Art Museum’s Regeneration Series of exhibitions, each of which focuses on post-World War II artists whose work addresses issues of identity and the convergence of history and mythology. Drawn from the Hall and Hall Art Foundation collections, one of the world’s largest holdings of his work, this exhibition includes more than fifty of Kiefer’s artist books, works on paper, paintings, and sculptures from 1969 to 2013. The Regeneration Series is inspired by NSU Art Museum’s renowned collection of Cobra art of the post-World War II years, a movement of avant-garde artists from Copenhagen,

Brussels, and Amsterdam. The exhibition is organized by NSU Art Museum under the direction of Bonnie Clearwater in conjunction with the Hall Art Foundation, which in 2013 opened a long-term installation of sculpture and paintings by Kiefer in a specifically repurposed 10,000-square-foot building on the campus of the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art that will be on view through 2025. The simultaneous exhibitions at MASS MoCA and at NSU Art Museum together comprise the most comprehensive presentation of Kiefer works from the Hall and Hall Art Foundation collections.

LOUIS XIII LE MATHUSALEM The LOUIS XIII LE MATHUSALEM edition makes history for LOUIS XIII, the timeless cognac created in 1874, as this is the very first time that a cognac produces a mathusalem edition in crystal. Each of these decanters is blown by the craftsmen of La Maison Baccarat in respect of a savoir-faire handed down over generations to generations. It requires over 20 master craftsmen to produce. A feat of crystal craftsmanship for a monumental cognac, alchemy of up to 1200 eaux-de-vie, the youngest of which is at least 40 years old, and which historic blend evokes tasting notes and aromas of myrrh, honey, immortelle, plum, honeysuckle, wood bark, leather and passion fruits. A very limited number will be made, each individually numbered for eternity. LOUIS XIII LE MATHUSALEM is presented in a luxurious display chest featuring 8 crystal glasses housed in a dedicated case, a serving platter and a pipette, in honour of the ancestral tasting and serving rituals of the cellar masters. Rare and exquisite collectorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s items, the first LOUIS XIII LE MATHUSALEM decanters will be available worldwide as of November 2016.
