On the Lookout THIS MONTAUK LANDMARK IS THE OLDEST OF ITS HARBOR-LIGHTING KIND IN NEW YORK STATE. BY BENTLEY WATERS

PHOTOGRAPHY BY BENTLEY WATERS
I
’ve been coming to the Hamptons for the past 20 years, and Montauk is by far my favorite spot. From the first time I visited Montauk’s charming town and experienced the wide-open views, I fell in love. There is something about being at the very end of the island that brings a peace and calmness. That, combined with the town’s laid-back surfer vibe, is what keeps me coming back year after year. As a photographer, the first time I stood on the giant rolling hill at the Montauk Point Lighthouse and looked out over the Atlantic, I knew I had to bring families here for photo sessions. You immediately feel relaxed, and the kids love running up and rolling down the hill. I feel very lucky to be able to photograph at New York’s oldest lighthouse, as the history and its beauty make it truly a unique setting for family photography. Every summer I bring my own boys to visit the lighthouse. This summer will be the first when they will both be tall enough to climb to the top. Afterward, we’ll head to Ditch Plains, order a pizza, and start a bonfire to roast some s’mores. Once we’ve done that, our summer will be complete.... 2000 Montauk Hwy., Montauk, 668-2544; montauklighthouse.com H

pleasure to celebrate the summer of giving. This season, Hamptons magazine is collaborating on a number of wonderful community-driven projects. First, together with Jason Belkin and his team at Hampton Coffee Company, we crafted our very own brew—Hamptons Magazine Blend—a fusion of Sumatran free-trade, Costa Rican, and Colombian beans that makes what I think is the perfect summer iced coffee. A percentage of the proceeds from the sale of the new blend, available at Hampton Coffee Company in both Water Mill and at the new Southampton roasting room, goes to East End Hospice’s Camp Good Grief. We are proud to say we have already raised enough money to send one child to camp this summer! We’re also heralding a program, The Follow me on Twitter at Philanthropic Wave, which we have been @samanthayanks and on working on for more than a year with hamptons-magazine.com. eight great artists and which culminates in this issue. Powered by Charitybuzz, artists including Peter Tunney, Paton Miller, Jeff Muhs, Michael Dweck, and Peter Dayton created one-of-a-kind surfboards that will be auctioned online starting on June 27, with proceeds benefiting the Jenny & John Paulson Emergency Department at the Southampton Hospital. Peter Max also created this issue’s cover (which will be auctioned to benefit The Humane Society of the United States) as a colorful homage to the Hamptons. His love of the East End began after art school in New York City, when he would “go to the Hamptons with friends and paint, draw, and listen to music in my studio,” says Max. “The light in the Hamptons is magical. It’s one of the most creative places on earth.” I couldn’t agree more. Art is another theme central to this issue, which features curator Agnes Gund, online curator Kyle DeWoody, Peter Beard muse Muriel Svarre, and clothing designer Lisa Perry. Enjoy the issue and remember to visit Charitybuzz to bid on Peter Max’s cover and all of the surfboards featured in this issue.

Niche Media’s summer of giving is in full force, and hopefully our efforts can help bring wonderful new initiatives to our community and beyond. Across all of our magazines, we are premiering original cover works by iconic artist Peter Max, who continues to be a force in the art world as well as a philanthropist for important nonprofit organizations including The Humane Society of the United States, for which he and his wife, Mary Max, are active board members with Niche Media’s owners, Janie and Jeff Gale. This issue we are also premiering our Custom Artists Surfboard Program powered by Charitybuzz and sponsored by Douglas Elliman, with proceeds going to Southampton Hospital’s Jenny & John Paulson Emergency Department. The surfboards will be displayed in the Douglas Elliman office in BridgeFollow me on Twitter at hampton and are now available on the @debrahalpert and on auction site Charitybuzz. You can also hamptons-magazine.com. join us at Southampton Hospital’s 56th Annual Summer Party on Saturday, August 2, where the surfboards will be displayed before the auction closes on Wednesday, August 6. Please go to our website to make a bid. Art, culture, and commerce is the subject of this issue’s roundtable that Michael Braverman and I hosted at The Watermill Center. The discussion that took place with experts Susan Breitenbach, Campion Platt, Steven Dubb, Ryan Jacka, Robert Nelson, Harry Bates, Ed Hollander, and Dan Scotti was lively and so interesting because of everyone’s unique viewpoint on the cultural institutions in the Hamptons and how art influences their work and our lives.

FARMSTAND! NEW LOCATION! Friday 4 p.m.-8 p.m. Saturday & Sunday 9 a.m.-1 p.m.
Cohost of MSNBC’s Morning Joe, TV personality, journalist, and best-selling author Mika Brzezinski has written three books, including her most recent title, Obsessed: America’s Food Addiction—and My Own. She and cohost Joe Scarborough interview cover artist Peter Max on page 136. What did you learn while interviewing Peter Max? I was
delighted and shocked at how quickly he works and how he doesn’t think when he paints, but just goes. What words of wisdom do you have for women who are trying to juggle career and family?
Don’t forget to have kids; don’t forget love and marriage, because nothing is worth it without a family to share it with.

Why do you love the Hamptons surf? I started
surfing with my children about five years ago. Nothing makes me happier than to glide on the water or get tossed about in the waves. Any new books on the horizon? This summer I’m writing a book about the Hamptons—a murder mystery set among the country clubs—iconic places with storied pasts, filled with the kind of juicy social satire any writer adores.

Lots of ’em.
Putting modesty aside, Jim Zizzi feels homes that make a statement start with a builder that makes one. Jim doesn’t think his homes should be instantaneously recognizable as his. Yet, oftentimes, clients say they are. Not for their sameness, however, like some builders, but for their distinctiveness. Building custom quality homes that truly stand out on the East End and North Shore and stand the test of time out here, has resulted in a corresponding reputation. Jim encourages prospective clients — many are the grandchildren of former clients — to visit his homes by visiting his website.

continued from page 79 of the program, which allows professional artists to teach the arts in public schools after budget cuts eliminated those types of classes; it has since introduced visual arts to more than 600,000 students—many of whom come from low-income homes— through programs in 120 NYC schools. “Grades are up when [students] have art, because it gets some kids who aren’t academically oriented to talk; most don’t raise their hands because they’re unsure of themselves.” Gund is determined to expose as many young people as she can to the wonders of the art world. “I do believe it should be part of their day and their week, and that they should study music, art, theater, and dance,” she remarks. “We’re so used to the privileges our children have that we don’t understand what [low-income students are] up against and why art makes so much difference to them.” Gund’s personal collection includes works by Jasper Johns, Arshile Gorky, Robert Rauschenberg, Richard Serra, Ellsworth Kelly, Roy Lichtenstein, Frank Stella, and Kara Walker. The current art market, she says, has deviated from when she first started buying, when art was made solely for its creative—not monetary—value. “It bothers me a lot, terrifically, what’s happened to the art market, not just because I can’t participate but because I think some people who buy now, unlike most of those I knew in the art world in the ’70s and ’80s, store it and wait for it to increase in value and then resell it,” says Gund. “I never wanted to do that with art. I’ve had to sell some things, but not to buy more art. It always makes me very sad to sell; I really miss those things.” H
ANGLES OF AGNES *on the hamptons social scene “You could go out three times in a weekend in the Hamptons. I don’t have much confidence in myself, so I always thought I’d get out here and not go to all the parties everyone else was going to. I just want to spend time with my kids out here.”
*on being affluent: “I was young when I got money. We didn’t lack for things, but we didn’t live in a very affluent world when we were growing up. Now, three of my siblings own airplanes. I’ve never had one, but one sibling, especially, finds it very convenient to have because he’s blind.”

*on sharing art “We have to keep our attention not only on people coming to [MoMA] but that we loan out art and not keep things in the basement. As you know, it’s an ‘iceberg’ type of thing: We have more below ground than we have above.”

Y
ears ago now, my husband was at his father’s deathbed. The family was there grieving and also feeling deeply confused and awkward about how to understand and cope with what was happening. Then Hospice showed up, and suddenly there was comfort and clarity. Hospice explained the natural process that is death, its physical manifestations, what would be comforting to their father, and what he could still perceive. I still vividly remember my husband telling me that a hospice worker had explained that his father’s earlobes would change, and so they did, and that his father could still hear last words spoken to him, although most of his other senses were very weakened. Being able to participate knowledgeably in these changes and knowing that their father was still able to hear them was a great relief for the entire family. It helped demystify the experience, at least a little, and gave them a feeling of valuable participation in making him feel comfortable and loved. East End Hospice (EEH) not only offers athome care for those who need it, but also social, emotional, and spiritual support. It provides nutritionists and psychotherapists, who help patients control their pain and give guidance in all facets of end-of-life care to caregivers. It can provide medical equipment and supplies, help with meal preparation, and even transportation,
if needed. And no one is denied hospice care, regardless of finances. For child survivors, East End Hospice’s Camp Good Grief helps children of all ages with the loss of parents or a close relative. The camp, which runs for five days every August, provides a healing environment for children and a chance to meet others who have experienced loss. Children learn they are not alone, and they have fun. A variety of activities and parties help EEH to raise funds and to celebrate its important work. I have personally contributed to the Box Art Auction, which the EEH has hosted for many years now. There you can bid on an astonishing array of painted, sculpted, and collaged boxes that fully represent the love and ingenuity that the participating artists have given them. Come celebrate with me!

Caring Spirit
“My grandfather was a father figure and mentor to me; he was so courageous and hardworking you would have never known his health was at serious risk. I lost him to a sudden heart attack in 2012 at the age of 59. Heart disease has touched so many of us in personal ways; too many people have lost a loved one, friend, or coworker to the leading killer in this country. Losing my grandfather was the driving force in my becoming involved with the American Heart Association (AHA) and it is why I am passionate about sharing my story. I want to inform men of all ages about the importance of getting a yearly checkup, eating properly, and exercising. Although some risk factors can’t be controlled—such as age and family history—many others can be, just by making changes in the way you live. I believe more and more individuals will start to give their time and efforts to this organization, because although heart disease is the leading cause of death, it doesn’t have to be our fate. The more of us who get involved and help educate others on how to prevent heart disease and learn to lead a healthier lifestyle, the better all of our lives will be.” The American Heart Association’s 18th annual Hamptons Heart Ball takes place on Saturday, June 28, at Hayground School, 151 Mitchell Lane, Bridgehampton; visit heart.org.

Scale Mail A NEW EXHIBIT AT DAN FLAVIN ART INSTITUTE IN BRIDGEHAMPTON GIVES INSIGHT INTO THE THOUGHT PROCESS OF SCULPTOR CARL ANDRE THROUGH HIS LETTERS TO ARTIST SOL LEWITT. BY NATALIE RINN
M
any know Carl Andre as the father of minimalist art through his unapologetically spare sculpture. His schematic constructions, assembled from unaltered raw and industrial materials, are often low to the ground, sprawling, and so unassuming, they can be mistaken for the floor itself. Over five decades, Andre produced more than 2,000 such works; a number of them are currently on view for the artist’s long-planned retrospective at Dia: Beacon in upstate New York. And now, a complementary exhibit at Dan Flavin Art Institute in Bridgehampton reveals, through words, a very different side of the artist. Starting in the late ’50s, Andre used a typewriter that belonged to his first wife to make image-based poetry. He sent his poems, along with postcards and collages, to friends and fellow artists, including the prominent line-drawing minimalist Sol LeWitt. More than 200 of Andre’s word-based works sent to LeWitt over the decades comprise the core of the exhibit “A Friendship: Carl Andre’s Works on Paper from the LeWitt Collection.” The show is the first dedicated to the artists’ dynamic friendship and provides further insight into Andre’s creative process and singular career. Andre, now retired, kept no studio and had no existing archive, so Dia curator Yasmil Raymond traveled extensively to search out his sculptures and the large network of people who worked with the sculptor throughout his productive years. When her sleuthing uncovered the full extent of the friendship between Andre and LeWitt—and its vivid documentation on paper—she knew she wanted to create something “intimate —YASMIL RAYMOND and modest in scale” that would pay homage to it in Bridgehampton. “What was a surprise was that there were correspondences, and not just colloquial, but ones that involved art jokes and collages that were postcards or letters sent over a period of time,” says Raymond. “It was all intellectual. There is a fine line between correspondence and a work of art.” While Andre’s sculptures and works on paper stand out because they are so systematized, Raymond’s research led her to one body of work that was surprisingly dissimilar, which would tip her off to the deeper connection between Andre and LeWitt. Andre began making pieces known as the “Dada Forgeries” early in his career—Raymond described them as assemblages and ready-made small objects—although many examples have disappeared through time. But in the late ’80s, an underground gallery on the Lower East Side run by a dealer named Julian Pretto showed some of the aberrant works. Raymond learned not only that one of the largest “Dada Forgeries” belonged to LeWitt, but also that LeWitt had made similarly deviant work, and that it appeared in the same gallery. “People
don’t announce friendships,” says Raymond, but “we started noticing six degrees of separation between Carl and Sol.” The show in Bridgehampton will be presented in two rotations. The first runs through October 18 and focuses on Andre’s correspondences to LeWitt; the second delves further into Andre’s image-based poetry, which Raymond explains is “very much about laying words on a page to make a form.” That installment will be on view from October 24 through March 2, 2015. “It is very important to have Andre at the Flavin Institute,” says Raymond. “First because these are works that were made during the same time that Flavin was alive,” and also, she continues, because there are ways of thinking that run parallel to each other. “There is an opportunity to look at those in close proximity. It is a reunion between Flavin, LeWitt, and Andre…. It is a wonderful experience to understand how a conversation happened over time between friends. It is an affirmation of art, an affirmation of friendship, and an affirmation of love.” “A Friendship: Carl Andre’s Works on Paper from the LeWitt Collection” is on display through March 2, 2015, at Dan Flavin Art Institute, Corwith Avenue, off Main Street, Bridgehampton, 537-1476; diacenter.org.

Lasting Feast I
n the early 1970s, acclaimed New York Times food critic Craig Claiborne and renowned French chef Pierre Franey revolutionized the culinary world by elevating cuisine to the status of art at a time when the subject was limited to homemaking. Through a lifelong friendship set largely in East Hampton, the pair would collaborate on five cookbooks, countless New York Times columns, and several gastronomic firsts, many of which will be on display at Clinton Academy Museum at The East Hampton Historical Society through July 13. “Craig Claiborne and Pierre Franey: Cookbook Revolutionaries in East Hampton” will include rare photographs on special loan from the Franey family along with illustrations, menus, films, cookbooks, and artifacts. Both residents of East Hampton, Franey and Claiborne were beloved fixtures in the community. “Even as they were ascending the ranks of international food-world stardom, they were hosting dinner parties at their homes and selling mussels at the Fisherman’s Fair in the Springs,” says Richard Barons, executive director at The East Hampton Historical
94
Society. At Claiborne’s 60th birthday party, held at his Clamshell Avenue home, Jacques Pépin oversaw the roast, while Alice Waters and Maida Heatter served dessert. The highlight of the exhibit will surely be rare photographs of “the two grandest picnics of all time,” where Claiborne and Franey joined renowned chefs René Verdon, Jean Vergnes, and Pépin to throw an elaborate picnic on Gardiners Island in 1965 and 1966. “It’s this wonderful idea of these accomplished men coming together for an informal picnic,” says Barons. “The food compared to that of the finest Parisian restaurants, but centerpieces were made from debris found on the beach and menus were hand-painted.” Such was the playful yet studied approach to food that led to Claiborne and Franey’s revival of American cuisine as we know it today. “Craig Claiborne and Pierre Franey: Cookbook Revolutionaries in East Hampton” will be on display through July 13 at Clinton Academy Museum, 151 Main St., East Hampton, 324-6850; easthamptonhistory.org.

Clean Cut CELEBRATING ITS FIRST ANNIVERSARY, FRESH HAMPTONS’ MISSION OF OFFERING HEALTHFUL GOURMET FARE IS GOING STRONG. BY GARY WALTHER PHOTOGRAPHY BY ERIC STRIFFLER
O
kay, so the berries in the strawberry-rhubarb shortcake come from the garden in front of the restaurant. Okay, so chef Todd Jacobs deals directly with day boats. (He confesses to a texting relationship with Julie, skipper of the Julie Rae out of Shinnecock.) And okay, he’s been doing business with “Bette and Dale up the road for years.” That’s Bette Lacina and Dale Haubrich, who grow 80 different crops between their Sag Harbor and East Hampton organic farms and—get this—strive not to sell outside the Hamptons in order to minimize “food miles,” the amount of carbon required to get, say, a potato from their farm to your plate. Check, check, check: The usual suspect, a farm-to-table restaurant touting its pious Whole Earth Catalog credo. But the curveball at Fresh Hamptons is its straight-down-the-middle credibility. Jacobs is a self-described meat-and-potatoes guy from Brooklyn, who, as a kid, took a trip abroad to Chinatown, ate vegetables he’d never heard of, and came home and asked his mom why she didn’t cook like that. Her answer was the equivalent of grabbing him by the ear and leading him around the room for being impertinent: “I’ve got three kids. I don’t have time for that. You want to eat that? You make it.”
The word “organic” recurs like a mantra, but the theme can really be boiled down to one word: bounty. His mother’s rebuke is the reason Jacobs enrolled in The French Culinary Institute. His first job was under Daniel Boulud at Le Régence at the Hôtel Plaza Athénée (a jewel-box restaurant, now passé), but Jacobs proved to be Teflon to Manhattan’s haute-restaurant glaze. In 1987 he signed on at The American Hotel in Sag Harbor for a summer and stayed for six years. The future was already present: The maître d’ said to him, “You don’t get paid to do this,” referring to his bringing in local produce in the back of his Mustang. From there, he opened Tierra Mar in Westhampton Beach, Atlantica in Long Beach, and has finally come to ground at Fresh. In a world of prepared chefs, Jacobs is fresh, unscripted, and possesses a quality that New York Times critic Pete Wells recently said is in short supply in the restaurant world: sincerity. The drizzly words, “We serve everything with love,” spoken by Jacobs in a YouTube video, ring true once you dine at Fresh. When I meet him, he’s out in the parking lot looking for employees’ cars to move because the spaces on Sag Harbor Turnpike in front of the restaurant are filling up. His self-characterization—“I’m the jihadist of continued on page 102

continued from page 101 organic”—doesn’t sound like sloganeering (or even violent), and when he tells me that he took root on the East End by driving around and shaking hands, it’s no surprise. The missing ingredient at Fresh (thankfully) is preciousness. The first page of the triptych menu employs simple declarative sentences (even if it’s a bit touchy-feely on punctuation): “All of our meat, fish & poultry are antibiotic, GMO & hormone free.” It’s not laced with tips of the hat to boutique producers—Mecox Bay Dairy cheeses, Raleigh’s Poultry Farm fowl, and Howard Pickerell’s Peconic Pride Oysters get shout-outs, but there’s no sign of OSS (Obsessive Sourcing Syndrome). The word “organic” recurs like a mantra, but the theme can really be boiled down to one word: bounty. There are 10 different options on the Fresh Sides section of the menu, and additional selections listed under More Fresh Sides. (I defy vegetarians to finish the combination platter of five sides, which, at $32, just may be the best value and healthiest meal in the Hamptons.) The Fresh Salad section (five choices) includes exotic ingredients (hemp seed hearts), now domesticated add-ins (dried cranThe five sides combination platter includes berries), and throwbacks to the quinoa, asparagus, sweet potato puree, sauteed greens, and root veggies. hippie era (alfalfa sprouts). The raw summer roll, a julienned vegetable patch, is the size of a Subway hero; the asparagus and spinach bisque is broodingly green—viola notes of vegetable— and without salt or cream that I could detect. Fresh is also fresh for offering choice. Chicken and duck (both roasted) are available five ways: leg only, breast only, quarter, half, and whole. Short ribs, grilled Moroccan spiced hanger steak, and hemp-flour-crusted flounder come in quarter-, half-, and continued on page 104
TOP TABLES Fresh is a table democracy. The dining room, a large square space with a small annex off the bar, doesn’t lend itself to hierarchy. “Maybe that table for six in the niche,” a server said to me when I asked which tables are most in demand. But on the night I dined, it was given over to a folk singer. The banquettes off the bar are quieter, and the booths along the Sag Harbor Turnpike side of the dining room offer a bit more privacy. But this is the one restaurant in the Hamptons that I’ve encountered that makes these considerations seem trivial.

The dining room is brown-on-brown-on-brown— three barns’ worth of barn wood went into the interior, done by the former owner, Bruce Buschel. It fits Jacobs’s ethos, but it’s also in keeping that he shrugs this off—“You make your restaurant for the locals and if you do it, you make it.” But here, brown underscores the sincerity.

SQUEEZE PLAY
The East End’s best fresh-pressed juices help keep you healthy and energized all summer long. BY TRACEY TOOMEY The Hamptons’ social calendar can be grueling. Ensuring high energy and a trim waistline means (occasionally) swapping Champagne for something more nourishing. The Juicy Naam (51 Division St., Sag Harbor; EECO Farm, 55 Long Lane, East Hampton, 725-3030; thejuicynaam.com) offers a tantalizing array of juices and smoothies. Try the Moon, a soothing combination of cucumber, pear, kale, lemon, and parsley, or the I Am Berry Cute smoothie—a dreamy combination of blueberries, hemp milk, banana, and cacao nibs—which tastes like a blueberry-chocolate milkshake, but with less guilt. At Pierre’s, (2468 Main St., Bridgehampton, 537-5110; pierresbridgehampton.com) the Pick Me Up, a blend of fresh orange and apple with carrot and sweet red pepper, or the Lemon Cleanse, made with carrot, apple, ginger root, and lemon juice, are more energizing than a double shot of espresso. Really need to detox? Provisions in Sag Harbor (7 Main St., Sag Harbor, 725-3636; provisionsnaturalfoods.com) makes an intense green juice, with celery, cucumber, parsley, kale, and chard. However, lemon, ginger and a little apple can be added for the faint of heart to give the juice a more refreshing, less bitter taste. If you’re looking for a sweet elixir, the Verde at La Brisa (752 Montauk Hwy., Montauk, 668-8338; labrisamontauk.com) is a blend of kale, celery, lime, pineapple, mint, and green apple; it will help make your liver feel loved no matter how much bacchanalia you engaged in the night before. Meanwhile, at Juice Press’s two new Hamptons locations (93 Main St., Southampton; 2486 Montauk Hwy., Bridgehampton, 212-777-0034; juicepress.com), The Mother Earth with cucumber, celery, kale, Swiss chard, dandelion, parsley, lemon, and ginger juice will give you the energy you need to hit the beach and still make it to polo.

The Mediterranean-influenced vegetable chopped salad includes radicchio, frisée, iceberg lettuce, and watercress along with hearts of palm, feta cheese, oil-cured black olives, dried oregano, and a mélange of other freshly diced vegetables. “The mix of the different types of lettuce and the use of vinegars and herbs in the dressing make it a really crisp, light, and refreshing dish,” says Executive Chef Cliff Crooks. One taste of the artisanal greens with Bartlett pears, manchego cheese, and pumpkin seeds at Fresno (8 Fresno Pl., 324-8700, fresnorestaurant.com) and you may envision yourself in La Mancha instead of East Hampton. The dressing is touched with 20-year-old Capirete Vinagre de Jerez—which carries a destination of origin certification—but the greens are local. “Sourcing ingredients locally not only brings great freshness and variety to the plate,” says co-owner Michael Nolan, “it’s also so much better for our environment and our local economy.” For a taste of Tuscany, head to Sotto Sopra (231 Main St., Amagansett, 267-3695; restaurantsottosopra.com) for the Caprese salad.

Josh Savi sources an award-winning burrata from a family-owned business that hails from Lioni, Italy. Simply served with ripe tomatoes and basil oil, it is a satisfying midday nosh before a much-needed riposo. For another take on an Italian classic, South Edison’s (17 S. Edison St., Montauk, 668-4200; southedison.com) panzanella salad combines made-in-house grilled baguettes tossed with roasted cauliflower florets, lollipop kale, fried asparagus stalks, and micro basil from locally sourced Good Water Farms, topped with a soft-poached egg and warm bacon vinaigrette. Bay Kitchen Bar (39 Gann Road, East Hampton, 329-3663; baykitchenbar.com) offers a delicious salad that is a mix of kale, Italian parsley, chives, chervil, basil, opal basil, micro arugula, and rainbow micro greens, dressed with aged sherry vinegar and locally sourced honey. Meanwhile, Babette’s (66 Newtown Lane, East Hampton, 329-5377; babettesrestaurant.com) has been a healthful mainstay since owner Barbara Layton opened it 19 years ago. “I’ve been a vegetarian and was so tired of going to places that didn’t have ambience and served flavorless dishes,” says Layton, whose Tunisian salad exemplifies her commitment to fresh, flavorful ingredients and features pappadam-crusted tofu or pomegranate-seared salmon, arugula, mint, roasted butternut squash, tandoori dressing, and a cucumber yogurt raita.

SUCCOTASH SALAD
What was your first experience out East?
When I first moved here, I worked at Jeff & Eddy’s Seafood Market as a fishmonger. Jon Stewart was one of my customers on my first day, and he was very nice. Others were not so nice, but I won’t name names. We hear you’re a surfer. What is the best East End spot for waves? I surf in Southampton. Most people scratch their heads at that because they always hear of Montauk as the surf destination, but it’s so crowded. Where do you like to dine? I love Dave’s Grill in Montauk, and I also frequent Nick & Toni’s. Say you’re hosting a summer dinner—what’s on the menu? I always serve deviled eggs to start. I’ll also
grill striped bass or chicken with a homemade relish or chimichurri, and make a few salads, like a quinoa or farro salad, big green salad or tomato salad, and corn on the cob. For dessert, a cobbler made of whichever fruit looks ripest—blackberries, peaches, plums.... What about beverages? I love an Aperol spritz, and we drink rosé like it’s going out of style. Where do you shop for your ingredients? I buy most of my produce and eggs from The Green Thumb; seafood from The Seafood Shop; chickens from North Sea Farms; and cheese from Mecox Bay Dairy. We are so lucky to have such an abundance of good local food and wine. Read more of the interview with Katie Lee on hamptons-magazine.com/dining. H

Pep Rally DESIGNER LISA PERRY INTRODUCES A LINE OF CHIC WEEKEND WEAR AND BEACH ACCENTS AT HER CHEERFUL NEW EAST HAMPTON BOUTIQUE. BY JULIE EARLE LEVINE PHOTOGRAPHY BY ERIC STRIFFLER
“I
have a lot of vintage in my closet that I still love, but it’s hard for me not to wear my own brand,” says designer Lisa Perry, whose modern, 1960s-inspired dresses in bright colors and fun, flirty shapes have been seen on everyone from gallerist Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn and interior designer Kelly Behun to Oscar-winner Lupita Nyong’o. “Everyone asks, ‘Is that a Lisa Perry?’ and I like to say yes as much as possible.” Now, Perry is trying to capture the best of both worlds with her first line of weekend wear that’s inspired by the spirit of her beloved vintage collection. Hamptons-appropriate T-shirts, swimsuits, cover-ups, tanks, and pants made their debut in Perry’s East Hampton boutique, where she also stocks a number of designer collaborations, including projects with Manolo Blahnik, Solid & Striped, and T-shirt company ATM Anthony Thomas Melillo. “I’ve really expanded the product offering and there’ll be new things every week to keep it fresh,” says Perry, of the shop, which will also have a Popbar cobranded cart of frozen treats as well as a selection from online collectible curator fancy.com, which will be the e-tailer’s first retail presence. “It will be an ever-changing inventory.” The only place in the Hamptons you can find footwear from Manolo
Blahnik, the shop carries a selection of Perry’s favorite reissued styles, including the Jennie, which comes as a high heel, mid heel, or flat. With Hamptons staple Solid & Striped, Perry created a swimwear collection featuring a sexy, fitted, low-back one-piece decorated with five spectrum dots in different colors, a logo that will be repeated on other items in the collection, including a line of tees. There will also be Op Art – inspired tableware created in collaboration with Kelly Behun Studio alongside Perry’s own home goods collection. What’s more, the store will play host to several summer events, including a book signing for Vanity Fair celebrity portrait photographer Jonathan Becker on July 4 and a shopping event to benefit The Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) on August 2. Although she will be busy at the store, Perry plans to spend a good deal of time enjoying the outdoors with family and friends at her North Haven home. “I love tennis, and we go for walks,” says Perry. “We can walk down to a very beautiful beach that is secluded, and I love it when guests come so I can take them to all the different towns.” 67 Main St., East Hampton, 3247333; lisaperrystyle.com H CLOCKWISE FROM TOP:

First Aid hat in Palm, Lola Hats ($175).
Made in the Shade M
illiner Lola Ehrlich’s classical training shines through in her collection of Brooklyn-made, Hamptons-chic hats. Throughout her collection, Ehrlich’s sense of exuberance is visible in the bright colors she uses and the unexpected f lourishes (bows, feathers, and fur pom-poms) she bestows upon them. The loveliest beach hat in her line may also have the most unexpected moniker: First Aid. The name came about when, in pursuit of the perfect sun-shading variety, Ehrlich enlisted a thick grosgrain ribbon, wound around twice, to
serve as a hatband that can be loosened or tightened to achieve the ultimate fit. The wrapping of the ribbon reminded her of a tourniquet, earning this lovely chapeau its tongue-in-cheek name. But don’t let the decorations fool you. Ehrlich’s hat is not only beautiful, but sturdy, too: “It is made of raffia, which is completely pliable, so you can shove it in your beach bag, and a wet and sandy towel will not hurt it,” explains the designer, whose line has long been carried by Mona Nerenberg at her Sag Harbor shop, Bloom.

IN KEEPING WITH HIS BRAND’S CELEBRATION of uniquely American beauty, Ralph Lauren is launching a new collection to benefit the East Hampton Historical Society in its support of the restoration of Hedges Barn, one of the few 18th-century barns in East Hampton still standing. The collection of sporty pieces includes weathered tees, baseball caps, and canvas beach totes featuring nautical imagery evoking the heritage of the Hamptons. Half of all proceeds will go toward refurbishing the barn and returning it to its original glory. Hedges Barn will also be relocated to East Hampton’s Mulford Farm, one of the country’s premier examples of English Colonial farmsteads, where it will be used to educate visitors about the history of the area’s farming tradition.

The Show Must Go On EAST HAMPTON RESIDENT ANDREW SAFFIR KNOWS WHERE TO HEAD FOR THE BEST IN FASHION AND HOME.
As founder of The Cinema Society, the company responsible for bringing the glamour of Hollywood film premieres to the Hamptons and New York City, Andrew Saffir knows how to dress the part. The bon vivant and longtime Hamptonite shares his favorite spots in East Hampton and beyond.
Sometimes he finds himself poking around the “little shops in the small, funky hotels” like SUNSET BEACH (35 Shore Road, Shelter Island, 749-2001; sunsetbeachli.com), THE CROW’S NEST INN (4 Old West Lake Dr., Montauk, 668-2077; crowsnestmtk.com), and THE SURF LODGE (183 Edgemere St., Montauk, 483-5037; thesurflodge.com), which, according to Saffir, “have cool little treasure troves.” When new-home items are in order, Saffir knows where to go— MONC XIII (40 Madison St., Sag Harbor, 808-3333; monc13.com). “I love, love, love MONC XIII and want everything in that store,” he says. “I’m serious. Everything! Go, and you’ll see what I mean.” Items found here and those picked up during his extensive travels to places like Los Angeles, Paris, and London for The Cinema Society events go well with his “superairy” blue and white house. “[They’re the] perfect complement to the water and our little beach right outside,” he says.

There is only one place on Saffir’s mind when shopping in East Hampton— RALPH LAUREN (31-33 Main St., East Hampton, 324-1222; ralph lauren.com). “I feel like I’ve practically grown up there!” he says. “The clothing is the perfect mix of fashion and classic [styles], and the staff in the East Hampton store is beyond welcoming and helpful.” When in need of some variety, Saffir stops over at BRUNELLO CUCINELLI (39 Newtown Lane, East Hampton, 324-3400; brunellocucinelli.com), where he finds the “fits, fabrics, and styling insanely perfect.”

The Charmed Life Hamptonite Nicole Schumann reinvents vintage treasures as wearable modern-boho statement pieces. “My charms are collected around the world,” says Nicole Schumann, a Hamptons-based jewelry designer whose pieces are born out of repurposed vintage treasures found at flea markets and vintage shows. “I am conscious about where they are from and who makes them.” Owing to the nature of her materials, the majority of pieces seem both of the moment and timeless. Her 14k gold-filled chain ($325), available at Everything But Water, features a gold-dipped fish, peacock feather, coral, crystal rock, and a leather tassel—disparate items that come together beautifully.

or several top watchmakers, including Tissot, Seiko, Citizen, and Casio, investing time and effort in developing watches that run on solar energy has been paramount to the evolution of their brands. An alternative option to quartz (i.e., battery-powered) watches, solar-powered timepieces collect energy from any light source and convert it in to electrical power that is stored in a rechargeable lithium ion cell. Generally, once the solar watches are fully charged, the stored energy enables the watch to run for months at a time; some can run for up to six months before needing more light. In the case of the Casio Pro Trek PRW-6000, the watch is also sold with a second rechargeable solar battery to ensure an even longer life span. Additionally, many of these solar-powered watches offer other functions, rendering them both environmentally and user-friendly.

“When an architect recommends a landscaper, they either have a lot of trust or a lot of nerve.… When an architect sticks their neck out to recommend a landscaper, they're putting their reputation on the line. Should something go wrong during the job or down the line they end up with an unhappy client and quite likely, negative word of mouth which is not good for future business. No wonder architects are some of our biggest boosters.
Photograph by Douglas Young
Almost 40 years ago we built an organization and a way of working that people have come to trust. It’s kind of old fashioned in a way, beginning with the fact that when you call a real person will always answer the phone during business hours seven days a week. From that point on you’ll learn that your job will be done on time and within budget guaranteed. In short, we’ll show up when we say we will and finish the work on time and within budget. After all, a promise is a promise.” – Charlie Marder

MAX PETER MAX
ARTIST HAS DEPICTED EVERYONE FROM THE DALAI LAMA TO THE BEATLES AND CAPTURED THE ENIGMATIC SPIRIT OF THE HAMPTONS IN HIS GROUNDBREAKING COSMIC STYLE. EXCLUSIVELY FOR HAMPTONS, HE INTERPRETS THE SOUTH FORK WHILE THE HOSTS OF MSNBC’S MORNING JOE, JOE SCARBOROUGH AND MIKA BRZEZINSKI, DISCOVER THE COLORFUL STORIES—AND THE MAN—BEHIND THE MASTERPIECES.
O
ne of the most prolific artists working today, Peter Max is widely known for his “cosmic style,” an innovative approach to art and design that blends psychedelic shapes and color and transcendental themes. His art has turned up everywhere from 2012’s ArtHamptons festival in Bridgehampton to a Continental Airlines Boeing 777 fuselage, and famously on the massive stages of the 1999 Woodstock music festival. His mixed-media works can be found in the collections of six former US presidents, while his art—recognizable for its energetic brushstrokes of primary colors and vivid, abstract panoramas of stars, planets, profiles, and icons like Lady Liberty—has been used to represent five Super Bowls, the World Cup, the World Series, the US Open, the Grammys, and the Rock ’n’ Roll Hall of Fame. “I’m just very happy to be in the middle of all this,” says Max of his many noteworthy accomplishments. “I’m happy to do the painting and have all the museum shows.” Born in Berlin and raised in Shanghai, Max and his family moved around the globe, from

“THE LIGHT IN THE HAMPTONS IS MAGICAL—IT DRAWS SO MANY CREATIVE PEOPLE OUT EAST.” —PETER MAX Peter Max painting the Statue of Liberty at OpSail 2000 on the Hudson River in NYC; BELOW: As part of a philanthropic initiative, Max designed a one-of-a-kind surfboard to be auctioned off to benefit Southampton Hospital’s Jenny & John Paulson Emergency Department.
Tibet to Israel to Paris—each destination influencing his art. Eventually, Max settled in New York, where, at age 76, he continues to produce a vast array of works, including this Hamptons cover, one of a collection of 10 covers created exclusively for Niche Media publications that includes Aspen Peak, Boston Common, Capitol File, Gotham, Los Angeles Confidential, Michigan Avenue, Philadelphia Style, Ocean Drive, and Vegas. The original paintings will be auctioned on Charitybuzz starting this month to benefit The Humane Society of the US. “My cover art for Hamptons magazine features the peace, tranquility, and natural beauty of the East End with a beacon from the Montauk Lighthouse shining out onto the Atlantic as the sun rises and smiles on a boat at sea,” says Max. “After art school in New York City, I would go to the Hamptons with friends and paint, draw, and listen to music. The light in the Hamptons is magical—it draws so many creative people out East. The sunsets, land, and beaches are fantastic and so inspiring. The Hamptons always felt like ‘the place to be’ yet was also so serene and peaceful to me. It’s one of the most creative places on earth; I love the Hamptons.” In his studio—two full-floor lofts near NYC’s Lincoln Center—Max has galleries’ worth of his art: a towering portrait of the Statue of Liberty he painted on the White House lawn for President Ronald Reagan in 1981; a multicolored Baldwin piano signed by his pal Ringo Starr; rows of Lucite sculptures taken from his “Angel” series; a painted guitar originally made for Jon Bon Jovi; and portraits of everyone from Marilyn Monroe to John F. Kennedy. “Twenty-four seven, creativity, creativity, creativity—it’s all I do. I draw when I wake up in the morning, on
airplanes, in limousines, and in taxicabs,” says Max. “When you’re a singer and you have a really great voice, it’s not like you create a voice—it’s just there. My art is just there. I put the brush on paper and I don’t even know what I’m doing, but I know it’s going to come out great.” Beyond the studio, Max gives freely of his time, money, and art to benefit animal charities such as The Humane Society of the US and the equine rescue organization Wild for Life Foundation. By his side for all of his achievements is his wife of 17 years, Mary Max, whom the artist calls “one of my greatest inspirations.” “When I met her, it fueled me, and she still fuels me today, quite a few years later,” he says of his wife, whom he spotted one day while out for coffee and declared he would marry at first sight. “We donate money left and right, we have events up [in the studio] all the time, and we have six rescue animals of our own at the house.” In celebration of Max’s 50 years of commercial success and the creation of a portfolio of city renderings exclusively for Niche Media, the artist opens up to MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski about his extraordinary career, spirituality (a longtime vegetarian, he practices yoga and meditation daily—part of his routine for more than 40 years), philanthropy, and the famous friends, from Bon Jovi to the Beatles, who have helped influence his work.
BEHIND THE BRUSHSTROKES It’s a struggle for any artist to gain recognition, but to have it last 50 years is extraordinary. What do you think is the key to your success? It’s just being present, letting creativity come through. I’m also really lucky because we live in an age of media. When I was on the cover of Life magazine 45 years ago, there were

with a friend and saw this girl walking by. I did a double take. I said to my friend, “It’s Marilyn Monroe.” As she’s walking by, she turns to me and says, “I like your pants”—I had a lot of paint on them—and then she kept on walking. She was so stunning; all her features were just perfect.
I GET BY WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS Many people best know your paintings of the Statue of Liberty or the “Love” series, but what do you think is your most defining work? There are so many. Painting the Statue of Liberty was a big thing because it’s an emblem; it’s the symbol for the United States of America, so it got so much attention. I’ve painted so many unbelievable people, like the Dalai Lama, John F. Kennedy, I mean, close to 800 unbelievable portraits. You painted portraits of all the Beatles, who also just celebrated 50 years in America. Over the years, your work has been linked many, many times to the band—tell us more about that relationship. I met John way, way back, and I was best friends with Yoko Ono. One day I read in the paper that my little friend Yoko was going out with John. I knew John, I knew Yoko; I could have introduced them in a second. I called her up and she said, “Yeah, John tells me he knows you really well.” I used to pick both of them up at the Dakota, where she lives, and go to Central Park. For years we used to walk around and bullshit and talk and sing songs. Here in your studio, you have a colorful piano that’s signed “To Peter, Love Ringo….” I did a Baldwin piano for Ringo Starr, and he loved it. Then Baldwin called

only three magazines—Time, Life, and Fortune. My art got to be on two of those covers. Today there are thousands of magazines out there, and my work has been on 2,000 to 3,000 covers. Early in your career, you studied a lot of the masters, from Rembrandt to Sargent. How did you develop your cosmic style? I used to draw, never even thinking that drawing is something you could do [as a career] once you became an adult. In China, I studied with the 6-yearold daughter of a street artist. Then in Israel, my mother hooked me up with a famous art professor from Austria. After we left Israel and moved to Paris, my mother signed me up for the classes for kids at the Louvre. And when we came to America, I found a private teacher, Frank Reilly [at the Art Students League of New York]; after high school I used to go in to the city and study with him. Frank Reilly went to that school 30 years earlier, and the kid who used to sit beside him was Norman Rockwell. So Norman Rockwell and Frank Reilly studied together and Rockwell became Rockwell; Reilly became my teacher. Then I hooked up with some people at certain art schools who were very design-oriented. You studied realism, but it’s not your painting style.… No, I’m kind of impressionistic. Realism gave me the skill to paint, but my eye was more in to design-ery art. The Art Students League has produced some very famous alumni, including Jackson Pollock and Cy Twombly. Have you had celebrity encounters? I once met Marilyn Monroe. [At the Art Students League] some of the students used to sit on the steps [outside the building]. I was there one day

me up and said, “We love it so much, we’re going to send you a piano.” Two days later, they deliver it, the guys assemble it, and I roll out my paints and start painting the piano beautiful colors. Just as I’m finishing, my girl comes from the front desk and says, “Your buddy Ringo is here.” Ringo had been uptown and wanted to say thanks; instead he said, “I like yours better!” and I said, “No, Ringo, yours is the first; it’s the nicest.” He asked if I had paints and I said, “Do I have paints?” We roll out a cart of paints, and he writes, “To Peter, Love Ringo,” followed by a star. I’ve had everybody up here in the studio—from Mick Jagger a couple of times to Paul McCartney—they’re all my friends. We hang out; I’ve been very lucky. Was it Paul McCartney who turned you on to vegetarianism? Paul and I became vegetarians at the same time. I’ve been a vegetarian now for over 40 years, and I’m only 38. [Laughs] Is it true that you also have a DJ who works in your studio? Yes—Joe. I have two or three radio stations I like, and he has certain CDs he’s made for me. He plays for me all good contemporary music— jazz, bebop, fusion jazz, certain rock ’n’ roll. When I start painting, the music is on and I’m just in the groove. Music inspires my whole will to paint, the will to be creative—it fuels the creativity. You worked with George Harrison on the Integral Yoga Institute, a yoga center and ashram in Greenwich Village based on the teachings of Sri Swami Satchidananda, whom you brought to America in 1966. Did George introduce you to the Swami? No, George was involved with the Maharishi out of England. George and I talked about my Satchidananda and his Maharishi, and we introduced each other to the other guy. The institute teaches how to go into meditation, get your mind focused, do stretching, become a vegan—a lot of health, behavioral, and mental benefits that have changed my whole life. How did you first meet Swami Satchidananda? Conrad Rooks, who was the heir of Avon cosmetics—he was a billionaire kid—called me one day when I was still in my early 20s. He wanted me to come to Paris to help with the colors on a film he was going to make. A day or two later, I pack a little bag, my driver drops me off at Kennedy Airport, and I go to Paris. Conrad picks me up from the airport and we’re hanging out in the restaurant at the hotel he’s staying in, and in comes the Swami—long beard, beautiful long black hair, gorgeous eyes—and Conrad introduces me to him. After spending a day with the Swami, I knew I had to bring him to New York. All my hippie buddies were taking LSD, and I was thinking, This is the man we need to be with, not this other stuff. I brought him to America and I opened yoga centers for him.
Peter Max (circa 1969) showcases the clock art he designed for General Electric.
THE BEST IS YET TO COME Over your career, you’ve accomplished so much. Is there something—a goal—you have yet to achieve? I’m always being creative; that’s full-time. And I’ve been listening to music very intensely my whole life, but especially in the last 36 months because I’ve been collecting music for seven feature films and animation. Characters and stories—I have so many. The only thing I hadn’t collected was music, so I called my friends—Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Bon Jovi—everyone I knew, and I got about 175,000 to 200,000 songs on these little iPods. Everything that’s pop-y is five stars, and if it’s a great piece but a little melodic, four stars. Everything that’s four and five stars is going in to the films. Out of 200,000 pieces of music, I selected about 3,000 or 4,000 that I adore. Have you ever thought about retiring? I’ve been retired since I was 20. [Laughs] Retiring is getting to do completely what you love, right? It’s not like sitting in a chair somewhere. This is a nice life—it’s creative, colors, music, and people. I love it. H
This “Love” image from the 1960s was inspired by the spirit of the decade and is among Max’s best-known works.

PHILANTHROPIC These Hamptons-based artists paired their talents with the area’s passion for the surf, custom designing a series of surfboards that will be auctioned off to benefit Southampton Hospital. BY HOLLY PETERSON PHOTOGRAPHY BY DOUG YOUNG
The elements of surf and art have long been essential to Hamptons culture. After last summer’s successful collaboration, where area luminaries designed bicycles to be auctioned to benefit the Group For the East End, this year, Hamptons magazine approached eight area artists whose work has been receiving much acclaim to reinterpret surfboards as canvases and create works of (sometimes rideable) art that will be auctioned to benefit the Jenny & John Paulson Emergency Department at Southampton Hospital, the sole provider of emergency care on the South Fork. During a private launch at the opening night of ArtHamptons, CBS anchor and Bridgehampton resident Chris Wragge will begin the bidding, which will then continue online at Charitybuzz through August 6. In the pages that follow, a look at the works by artists Tom Dash, Peter Dayton, Michael Dweck, Jerome Lucani, Paton Miller, Jeff Muhs, Peter Tunney, and Charles Wildbank, who used a variety of mediums to capture their vision of the water.
TOM DASH
WHAT DOES THE BOARD YOU MADE REPRESENT? My board is an appropriation of
Andy Warhol’s flower paintings. Lately I have been making some paintings and epoxy sculptures using the flowers and Chanel imagery, and I did the same thing with the surfboard. WHY CHANEL? Putting an urban image on a board in the ocean is so interesting, and even more so that it’s Chanel and so high culture. It takes it back to a counterculture image, almost back to the ’60s.
DO YOU HAVE A DEEP RELATIONSHIP WITH THE WATER? No question. When I was two days
old, my parents baptized me in the ocean because my father is a surfer, so that has been my religion. I surf a lot in the winter in my wet suit with a hood and gloves—actually some of our best waves are in

the winter. There’s no one on the beach, so it’s a very special time for me out [on the ocean]. DO
YOU VISUALIZE THE HAMPTONS IN YOUR ART? I feel like I could create no matter where I
am, but it does mean a lot to me to be able to get to the ocean so quickly, so it can regenerate my spirit. DO YOU GET INSPIRED BY THE OTHER ARTISTS OUT HERE? I love being part of this community; my neighbor is Peter Dayton. It’s nice to be able to see what everyone is up to and stay in touch. Much of the time I’m in the studio alone for days on end—that’s the nature of our work—so it’s nice to have a dialogue with other artists about their work and see their progression. I’m so inspired by them that I can bring that [inspiration] back to my work.

PETER TUNNEY WHY DID YOU WRITE CITY OF DREAMS ON THE BOARD YOU MADE? Nothing happens
unless it’s first a dream. Nothing has satisfied me more than putting up these billboards in New York saying GRATITUDE or CITY OF DREAMS. I’ve been on Long Island since 1964, when there was nothing but sod farms, potato farms, and simplicity. In the 1990s, I started going to Montauk and I lived on the Andy Warhol estate. That was a rock-star existence; it is one of the greatest pieces of property in North America. WHAT PHILOSOPHY ARE YOU ESPOUSING IN YOUR ART? I’ve chosen to believe that everything is fantastic—all for the best and the best of all worlds. I’m just so bludgeoned from hearing the problems 24/7; you can’t be talking about the solution while you are talking about the problem. If I made $50 million next week, I would spend $49 million
144
putting up billboards about what I believe. ARE YOU ON A MISSION TO CHANGE MINDS? The only responsibility of an artist is to know the times in which he lives. I thought that the art world was not going to go for my art—that no one was going to go for it—yet, somehow, I was compelled to keep doing it, and I did it long enough that it became legitimate and everyone loves it. I’m still here and happy.

“The Hamptons is a way to live surrounded by nature, which is the ultimate expression of creativity.”
Jerome Lucani
—
JEROME LUCANI WHAT DOES THE BOARD YOU MADE REPRESENT? IT’S CERTAINLY A RECOGNIZABLE IMAGE. The surfboard was inspired
by Michelangelo, but it is really about the specific rush you get when you catch that wave. You feel like you are one with the elements for that instant, for that moment of bliss. If we are all related to God and Adam and the hand of God… it all relates to us being present in our surroundings. It all allows a moment of no dissonance in your life, if that’s possible. It’s the deepening of awareness that requires no words. IS IT THE WATER OR THE LIGHT THAT ATTRACTS YOU MORE OUT HERE? In the Hamptons, it’s
more the serenity of the ever-changing landscape. Each day of the week, you have a different spectacle. The water is all about the light that changes color. You have the never-ending tides that reshape the beaches, sometimes with rivers forming. It’s quite incredible. Even if you don’t have a surfboard, you can still catch those incredible waves. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ELEMENT OF LIFE IN THE HAMP TONS? The Hamptons is an ecosystem surrounded by old and new friendships. It’s a way to live surrounded by nature, which is the ultimate expression of creativity. I’ve always sailed; that gives me a means of freedom of accessing the water. Water and I have always been good friends. HOW IS THAT REPRESENTED IN YOUR ARTWORK?
My art is about the fluidity of immense space that holds us so gently. In my next body of work, “Cosmic Minds,” I am using all the beautiful pictures shown to me by the Hubble Telescope. The idea that you take full consciousness of how improbable it is to live on this speck of dust… yet we are here and protected, and we can have a safe life; that fascinates me.

PETER DAYTON TELL US ABOUT THE SURFBOARD YOU MADE. It’s out-of-focus flowers. I put a vinyl wrap
on the back and the front of the board, with a logo with my name on it. And I signed it on the back too. It’s fully functional; you could ride it. HOW OFTEN DO YOU MAKE WHAT YOU PLANNED?
It’s usually never exactly what I thought I was going to make. HOW DOES YOUR ART RELATE TO YOUR LIFE AT THE BEACH? I came here for
146
a very specific reason—I was broke, and I wanted to start over. I moved in with my mother, of all things, when I was 35 and started making art again after spending 10 years making rock ’n’ roll. THE SPRINGS WAS ONCE HOME TO GREAT ARTISTS LIKE DE KOONING, POLLOCK, AND WARHOL; HOW DOES THAT INSPIRE YOU?
My idea of stimulation is waking up in the morning and having nothing to do but go to my studio.
I highly recommend it to anyone in a pursuit like mine, where you have to just shut yourself away and do your thing. A regular job is the total enemy of the artist. The idea of answering to someone and being somewhere is just horrible. I was a housepainter for 30 years; when I came out here I said, “I’m going to do art, I’m going to do it 100 percent, and I’m not going to look back.” And it’s freaking working.

Jeff Muhs

JEFF MUHS WHAT DOES THE BOARD YOU MADE REPRESENT? People say it’s like what it feels to surf—the
energy and motion that you would find in waves; it’s guttural and shows beautiful, simple movements. WHAT IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE WATER? My father was a hunting and fishing
guide, and from a young age I was raised on the water and the bays. Before school in the winter and all summer long I’d see every sunrise and sunset. I continue that in some of the fishing I still do. I’m always out there, experiencing. TELL US ABOUT
148
THE WATER IN YOUR PAINTINGS. The water is in many of my paintings. You would see it more literally 15 years ago; now, you are seeing an expression of feeling that I have distilled and I translate in more psychological means. I’m using color and motion and different spatial perspectives to suggest water, to convey the feeling of water without painting the ocean. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE ARTISTS’ COMMUNITY HERE?
Being born and raised here, I have a particular interest in the area’s legacy. Most of the important
influential artists of the 20th century have lived [in the Hamptons]—Pollock, Lichtenstein, de Kooning, Eric Fischl, Ross Bleckner… it’s a great group to be a part of and I’m always interested in my part in the continuum. IT ALSO WORKS WELL BECAUSE SO MANY MAJOR COLLECTORS LIVE HERE.
We are fortunate to be in a place where the community can support the artists who are out here. I was showing at a local gallery in Southampton, where my work was then noticed by a gallerist in Soho, which then led to my first solo exhibition in Soho.

CHARLES WILDBANK WHAT DID YOU DECIDE TO DO FOR THE SURFBOARD AND WHY? I decided to concen-
trate the waves in to a single drop as it held my concentration in focus. It is a holographic expression of all of the sea being contained within a single drop of water. I have titled it “The Last Drop.” HOW DOES THE ENVIRONMENT AFFECT THE WORK YOU DO? My work demands uninterrupted, concentrated hours filled with natural light. Painting for 10 hours a day is possible because a dip in the sea, a walk in the garden, or a breath of the sky restores and refreshes me. HOW IS THE HAMPTONS EVIDENT IN YOUR WORK? I create paintings that are timeless and eternal. I am inspired by that part of humanity that is beyond time and space and by the present eternal moment. The rhythm of paint syncs with the rhythm of the sea for me. I spray it, splash it, spread it onto the canvas with similar abandon to express the emotion of limitlessness expansion I perceive here on the East End. In the portraits, the glances and emotion must be timeless, as if a glance from a hundred years ago, or a hundred years from now. HOW DOES YOUR BEING DEAF AFFECT YOUR OTHER SENSES? It wasn’t until later in life that I
realized that deprivation of any of one’s senses could heighten any remaining senses. I leaned more toward the visual perhaps with such acuity that not only do I lip-read, but I also take in all the body language of those around me. I appreciate emotions coming through the surfaces of everything surrounding me. They can be subtle or raging. How my subject or I feel at a given moment will influence how I paint, thus more or less delivering emotional hints to the beholder. To be surrounded by art only affords this continuation and enhancement of the subjective experience.

PATON MILLER WHAT DOES THE BOARD YOU MADE REPRESENT? I painted an orca on the deck of the board.
This is actually a pretty good surfboard, and I hope it’s going to be used. I see it as functional art, so I’m returning the board with the fins. IS SURFING REPRESENTED IN THE ART YOU DO? I don’t do surf pictures per se—they seem a little corny to me—but I do a lot of Old Man and the Seatype pictures; people at sea. Water is the great love of my life. It’s really where I’ve found myself. IS WATER MORE OF THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE THAN WOMEN? Oh, no—I’ve been happily mar-
ried for 26 years. When I’m in the water I feel at peace. HOW DID YOU COME TO LIVE IN THE HAMPTONS? I left Hawaii in 1973 and ended up getting a scholarship to Southampton College with the drawings that I had made traveling in Asia and Indonesia. WHAT ABOUT THE HAMPTONS ALLOWS YOU TO CREATE? If you’re an artist, you’re in part a performance artist. You want reaction. Not only do you want people who appreciate and collect your work, but you also enjoy your fellow artists. There aren’t many places in the country like [the Hamptons], where you can have all those elements together. Every day I have a cup of coffee and drive down to the ocean. If there’s surf, I go surfing for a couple of hours and then I work the rest of the day in the studio. I feel lucky to have landed on these shores. I don’t know what would have happened if I had gone back to Hawaii, because I don’t particularly paint dolphins jumping over rainbows. I’m just grateful for how things went down.

MICHAEL DWECK WHAT DOES THE BOARD YOU MADE REPRESENT? My board was custom made for this project,
and shaped to reflect the subjective character of the image. It’s an object that the artist modifies to make art. It’s a perfectly molded subject. It was made from scratch—it took six weeks with all the silk to cover the photograph with a great shaper and glasser. HOW DOES THE HAMPTONS INSPIRE YOUR WORK? The Hamptons has always been a place where I work, and my work is always about escapism, which also means beating the system. Montauk is my escape. I’m in the ocean about two to three days a week, at least. TELL US ABOUT YOUR HISTORY OUT HERE. I live in Manhattan and in Montauk. I don’t surf as much as I would like. First time I went out [to Montauk], I heard the Rolling Stones were doing an album at Andy Warhol’s house. We were trying to find Warhol’s house near the ranch and we found a great surf spot. DO YOU STILL SURF HERE IN THE HAMPTONS? I call myself a casual surfer—I was raised on the South Shore and surfed on Gilgo Beach; I paddle around a lot now. That’s where the inspiration for the mermaid came to me. There are lots of mysterious forms of fish beneath us, evanescent shapes. In legend, mermaids are a symbol of fatal destruction, the toxic allure of the unattainable; they are sensual and alluring, but also free and unfettered. H

LEFT BANK BY WAY OF
THE EAST END
Once a muse to Hamptons-based artist Peter Beard, French interior designer MURIEL SVARRE has made her own Sagaponack residence a haven of earthy textures and gilded accents. BY R AUL BARRENECHE PHOTOGR APHY BY COSTAS PICADAS

here’s a little bit of Europe tucked amid the pastoral fields of Town Line Road. Here, Muriel and Peter Svarre and their family built a seven-bedroom house they call “Le Manoir.” It is Paris-born Muriel’s ode to her native France and her beloved Hamptons, a beachy-luxe hybrid of those two cultures. “The important thing was to reflect us as a couple. The house melds with the local vernacular architecture, but it also feels a little bit like Paris, Tuscany, or Bourgogne,” says Muriel, who calls her eclectic blending of old-world and East End influences a “mix-and-match a la Française, St-Tropez meets Sagaponack.” Muriel, a warm, ebullient designer with a hearty laugh and a melodious French accent she admittedly can’t shake after a decade and a half living in New York, and Peter, a quiet but amiable managing director at Merrill Lynch, built the 7,600-square-foot home to replace a small house on the two-acre property they have owned for more than a decade. The couple and their four children, who range in age from 6 to 18, had outgrown the dark, shingle-style cottage (which had just one family bathroom and a guest bathroom) and thought about selling and looking elsewhere. “I realized we were too attached to this place,” recounts Muriel. “We got married by the pool; our kids grew up here. It was going to be hard to drive by this street if we moved.” Instead, the

family decided to build anew on the property, enlisting wellknown Hamptons builder Michael Davis. A year and half in “GILDED, PLATED, the works, the house was finally ready for move-in last June. BRUSHED, OR Muriel—whose far-flung career in France included modeling with both the Marilyn Agency and Wilhelmina, CARVED... including posing for Peter Beard in Alaïa designs, authorANYTHING ing two novels, and hosting her own TV show with a METAL, I LOVE.” cultural beat on Paris Première—took the reins on the home’s design, working closely with Davis’s in-house archi—muriel svarre tect, Eric Woodward. (Muriel’s business, Like Mother Like Daughter Design, pays homage to her mom, a fashionable woman whose edgy, eclectic design style—crisp Eames chairs mixed with curvaceous lamps by iconic Italian designer Gae Aulenti—impressed young Muriel growing up in Paris in the 1970s.) She’s invested in every single detail of Le Manoir, both inside and out, from the color and texture of the fireplace stucco and the exterior shingles (matched exactly to the gray of her outdoor furniture) to the radius of the circular entry hall’s sweeping spiral staircase. She did her homework—and wasn’t afraid to roll up her sleeves. Muriel got down with masons to calculate grout lines in bathroom-floor tiles, goldleafed the moldings in an unfit-for-mud mudroom, and hung every crystal on the custom Venini-inspired metal frame of the dining room chandelier. She even designed the paneled mudroom door to accommodate a polished-nickel lion’s-head knocker, which once hung on the entry to the family home in St-Tropez, where she spent childhood vacations. “It was a very emotional moment when I hung that up,” she recalls. Muriel wanted to venture beyond typical Hamptons materials and details. Instead of traditional bluestone around the pool and on outdoor terraces, which can heat enough to blister young feet, she found marble that remains cool to the touch, and then sealed it with a stain-resistant coating. “The children had fun pouring everything on it to make sure it would remain spotless: olive oil, ketchup, suntan lotion,” recounts Muriel, whose father, a builder, influenced her appreciation of the practical side of design: He would take his daughter to tour castles in his native Touraine and taught her about the optimal proportions of the equilateral triangle espoused by Freemasons over the centuries. “I found the construction fun, not full of angst,” says Muriel, “but I fully understand why most people want

a turnkey house.” Casual yet refined, Le Manoir boasts luxurious touches and a pervasive sense of elegance. Showing off the living room, Muriel proclaims, “Welcome to Paris!” noting thoroughly French design elements like carved boiserie wall panels, a nod to the living room of her childhood, brushednickel torchiere lamps, and a Chanel-inspired camelia mosaic. “I feel Parisian in here,” she says. The reconditioned mantel is the same one that graced the fireplace in the Svarres’ former cottage. Entering the study, she announces, “Alors, welcome to Africa!” (Regarde: She tends to pepper her speech with French phrases.) “Here I wanted things to be more earthy, more textured,” Muriel explains, noting material flourishes in faux horn and tortoiseshell, crocodile, and cow-skin rugs. Lining the walls are works by famed photographer Peter Beard, whom Svarre met in Paris when he arrived there for a major retrospective at the Centre National de la Photographie in January 1997. Muriel appears prominently in several of them. A similarly dark palette of exotic materials appears in Peter’s study and bathroom directly across the circular entry hall, including faux-crocodile-embossed leather and shagreen-patterned vinyl wallcoverings, leather-wrapped handles, and more metallic-glazed walls. “I am obsessed with metal,” says Muriel. “Gilded, plated, brushed, or carved, and also metallic fabrics, hardware, glazes, you name it. Anything metal, I love.” Although theirs is an elegant home, the Svarres live a casual lifestyle. Entertaining revolves around family and close friends, with cozy dinner parties. Summer finds them hosting relatives from France, with the children off at camp nearby or taking MBX surf lessons at Ditch Plains and Peter manning the barbecue. For the Svarres, it’s a given that every birthday and holiday is spent on the East End. “Halloween is always in Sag Harbor, Thanksgiving at Pierre’s, ice skating at “I FOUND THE Buckskill Winter Club,” says Muriel. “All the meaningful events in our lives happen here. Our kids have CONSTRUCTION been in the car from New York every Friday since they FUN, NOT FULL OF were born. They look forward to coming out here ANGST, BUT I FULLY every weekend.” H “I feel Parisian here,” says Muriel Svarre of her East End home.

WOMEN IN THE
ARTS
Curator TERRIE SULTAN, art collector and philanthropist BETH RUDIN DEWOODY, and artist APRIL GORNIK gather for a roundtable discussion about the Hamptons art community, the evolution of art fairs, and how the industry has changed for women. Author SUE HOSTETLER leads the discourse. PHOTOGRAPHY BY ERIC RYAN ANDERSON
SUE HOSTETLER: SO MANY MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY PAINTERS, LIKE POLLOCK, DE KOONING, LICHTENSTEIN, AND LARRY RIVERS, MADE THEIR HOMES HERE. I ALWAYS ASSUMED WHAT AT LEAST PARTIALLY DREW YOU ALL TO THE HAMPTONS WAS THE ICONIC AND RICH HISTORY OF ART. APRIL GORNIK: For us it was more “get me out of the city”—we were just dying. We never had a place with air conditioning! We’ve been here full-time since 2004, and that was completely by accident. We first rented [in Sagaponack] and then Eric [Fischl] was like, “I want to buy something out here” [in 1985]. We bought this little house that used to be a farmhouse in Sag Harbor and then he really had a jones for making his own house. BETH RUDIN DEWOODY: The reason the artists came out here was because of the light and the space. I love it because it has everything. You have the ocean, the different terrains, you have the most gorgeous beaches… it’s just beautiful. But the Parrish was always here. It wasn’t what it is today, especially in terms of contemporary art, but it had a very rich history of great art. I ended
up buying my house in the Art Village where William Merritt Chase taught painting, and it was really incredible to be part of that kind of history. TERRIE SULTAN: We’re getting ready to publish a book on the Parrish’s holdings of William Merritt Chase and Alicia Longwell. His wife was a photographer and she took a lot of photographs of him in his studio and of his family. The famous painting The Bayberry Bush is a picture of his house and children. BRD: I looked at that house to buy; I remember they were asking $350,000 for it up in Shinnecock Hills, and it needed a lot of restoring. It still had the studio, but all that terrace landscaping had to be restored. AG: We really need an architectural preservation fund out here—some things should not be torn down. There are a whole bunch of different [historical societies] but they have no clout, no funding. The real estate mood is in anything but a historical mind-set. BRD: There are some great historical houses that are still here. Francesco Scavullo had an incredible Arts and Crafts house in Shinnecock Hills with a lot of great acreage. When he decided to sell, he sold it so cheap, but then this nice couple restored it beautifully. I was invited to

some event or something there and I was very happy to see it. SH: WE KNOW MANY ARTISTS CHOOSE TO LIVE IN THE HAMPTONS FOR THE INCREDIBLE LIGHT AND SPACE, BUT I’VE ALWAYS WONDERED, AND MAYBE YOU CAN ANSWER THIS, APRIL, IS THERE SOME KIND OF FREEDOM FOR ARTISTS LIKE YOU AND ERIC OUT HERE—FREEDOM TO BE ABLE TO OPERATE OUTSIDE OF THE “SYSTEM”? ARTISTS WHO LIVE IN THE CITY CAN FEEL THAT CONSTANT PRESSURE OF THE MARKET. AG: The great thing about being out here is that it’s not that far from the city—you still have access, but then you can go and work in peace. The phone does ring less and that’s because you’re not as available, and I just love it; I can’t tell you what a relief it is for me. I feel like I’m working better. I’ve realized—and this has taken me years to understand about myself—I like to be on the edge of someplace. I like to get out East and have that
160
big space. There’s something particular about the variety of the landscape that is really profound. Particularly beautiful is that marshy area around Orient Point—the light is reflective and refractive from the bay and the sound and the ocean, and it’s all hitting the sky from a lot of different vantage points. It’s pretty brilliant. TS: The light on the East End is different than it is on, say, the West Coast because it’s an isthmus [a narrow strip of land connecting two larger land areas, usually with water on either side] and the light is on an arc from the bay to the ocean. And because it arcs, there are different kinds of refraction that come from those two bodies of water. SH: HOW DO YOU ALL FEEL ABOUT THE PROLIFERATION OF THE ART WORLD IN THE HAMPTONS? OBVIOUSLY THINGS HAVE EVOLVED ENORMOUSLY, NOT ONLY WITH THE TERRIFIC PARRISH EXPANSION, BUT ALSO BECAUSE SO MANY GALLERIES, ART FAIRS, AND PROJECTS LIKE ART PRODUCTION FUND’S EXHIBITION IN
MONTAUK LAST SUMMER, CURATED BY THE BRILLIANT GARY CARRIONMURAYARI, HAVE OPENED. TS: There is a community of literally hundreds of artists who are working out here—they’re all over the place. And the proliferation of younger people who are opening galleries—like your daughter Beth [Kyle DeWoody who is profiled on page 82] —are creating exhibition opportunities. Collectors are visiting the galleries and it is forming, from my point of view, the right kind of artistic interaction. AG: But as far as the art fairs go, I don’t know what you can say about them. I’m not a big fan of art fairs. BRD: Artists always have a big problem with art fairs, but for a dealer, they’re a really great thing because you get exposed to clientele who don’t know you. I go to an art fair as a collector and I’ll see galleries I’ve never heard of and be exposed to new things, and a lot of the long-term relationships I have with dealers are because I discovered them at an art fair, like Eric Firestone, that’s how I originally met him. Now the problem with

the Hamptons is everyone thinks the Hamptons is like instant money and so everyone wants to be here. SH: INCREDIBLY, ALL OF YOU ARE MARRIED TO ARTISTS—IS IT ENRICHING TO SHARE THAT PASSION OR IS IT SOMETIMES COMPETITIVE? TS: I could not live my life any other way. There’s no way I could be the person I am today if I were not married to an artist. AG: It’s frequently competitive, unpleasantly so, and surprisingly Eric, famous Eric, will still feel like his career is sliding and mine is going up. At various points you’ll have that kind of paranoid competitive thing. We both do that with each other still, which is kind of crazy. I know how it sounds, but it just seems to be fundamental artist paranoia 101. The perk, though, is so immense because we can talk about art all the time, anytime. We both trust each other to look at the work in our studio above anyone else. And just having somebody in your life who understands when you’re saying, “I’m on a roll, I can’t go out.” BRD: But the fact is that you’re both on an equal
plane. You’re both known, you’re both art stars, you’re both gorgeous, sought after. I had a really hard time in my first marriage because my husband was an artist who was not known and he never got famous. There were things that he could have done for his career that he didn’t and then he became resentful of me because I suggested certain things he didn’t want to hear. Now I’m with Firooz [Zahedi] and it is a different situation because Firooz has been extremely successful in his commercial and celebrity photography career. Now he’s doing his art thing, but it’s coming from a different place. AG: But don’t you think the fundamental thing that makes these tricky situations work is if you really like the other person’s work and respect it? If either Eric or I had gone off in some weird art direction I think it would have been really hard, because we take art really seriously. SH: HAS THE ART WORLD CHANGED FOR WOMEN? THERE SEEMS TO BE MORE INSTITUTIONAL SHOWS FEATURING FEMALE ARTISTS NOW. AG: Yes I think it’s improved a lot; there is more
interest. But where did I read recently that women still make less money than men? So in that regard, just from sheer economics, it’s not so hot. And, ghettoizing in this day and age makes me crazy. BRD: It makes me crazy too, because when I buy artists, unless their subject matter is so obviously feminine or politically female-oriented or a black artist who has very black-oriented art, I don’t even know if it was made by a man or a woman. Like Lynn Chadwick and Martin Puryear—you wouldn’t know if it was a white or a black man because of his art. You just know it’s beautiful and wonderful. Maybe I could understand years ago, but nowadays, it shouldn’t be ghettoized. It should just be all together. You don’t need a special museum; the women artists are just as good as the men and can be in the same museums. TS: What’s interesting about the way you collect, Beth, is that you really don’t look at any of those demographics. You just buy work that you like. If more people did that, I think it would probably be a much more equal playing field. H

This home at 1903 Deerfield Road combines modern construction with traditional Hamptons design.

T
urn north onto Deerfield Road and they quickly come into view: beautiful new homes crammed onto one-acre lots. Such construction is to be expected in this area of the Hamptons where land prices continue to climb with dogged persistence, but such tight quarters aren’t much consolation to those who pay handsomely for the privilege of living in Water Mill. Head north a few more miles, however, and soon you’ll find a five-bedroom home tucked away on six private, wooded acres, a stately reminder of why so many flock to this cozy hamlet. Custom built in 1991, the 6,150-square-foot home at 1903 Deerfield Road straddles two worlds, with a classic architectural style that evokes old Europe but a pristine condition that leaves visitors surprised that this home
isn’t new construction. “It feels like it’s been there for a hundred years,” says Jeanine Edington of Douglas Elliman of the home’s design. The home’s regal stature is evident immediately upon approach. “It’s a stately entrance,” Edington explains. “You reach the wrought-iron gate and go up the long, winding driveway to the home. Once you get there it’s totally private. It’s impressive.” Even more impressive is the residence itself, lavished with the sorts of details every buyer could want (but not necessarily find) in the Hamptons: a gourmet kitchen with breakfast room, five brick fireplaces, and herringbone floors in the living room. Of all of the options, Edington picks the continued on page 172

continued from page 171 sunroom with its brick wood-burning fireplace as her favorite. “Some sunrooms are really for one season, but this one works year-round,” Edington explains. “I can see someone sitting there in the morning, sipping coffee, and reading the paper or having a drink with friends around the fireplace at night.” An abundance of French doors—two sets each in the dining room, living room, and den on the western side of the home—add to the indoor-outdoor feel. The doors open to the home’s brick patio and sprawling views of the property’s manicured gardens and lush lawns. This vast open space amid the six-acre plot keeps 1903 Deerfield Road from feeling as if it’s isolated in the woods, and it’s also where one will find the heated gunite pool (surrounded by gates and hedges for private bathing) and, in the distance, a tennis court that sits a little lower on the grounds, keeping it out of sight of the main house. This expanse, unlike anything in Water Mill, is among the home’s highlights, and Frederico Azevedo, owner of the Bridgehampton-based Unlimited Earth Care, can appreciate the impact of these grounds. Over the past two decades, he and his team have dedicated themselves to creating just such spaces, designing landscaping concepts that take into consideration a home’s
property, location, and even architectural style. And when landscaping for a home with such a classic European feel, Azevedo encourages creating gardens that, in contrast, feel almost like they’re from the future. “I believe in connecting the old with the new, especially outdoors,” Azevedo explains. “I understand that some people have a preference for a more classical look inside, but outdoors, they should be as modern as possible. We should always be advancing the vanguard, not sticking to what has already been done.” Similar to other wooded lots he has landscaped in Water Mill, Azevedo would accentuate the terraced feel already in place on the grounds, incorporating more plants on the patio level to complement the color of the home and soften the transition between brick and grass. A proponent
of obscuring perimeter fencing, Azevedo would line the existing iron gate with even bigger hedges (evergreens such as cryptomeria and Norway spruce) and create “free-form borders at ground level” made of shrubs (salix, clethra, St. John’s wort, Russian sage) and perennial flowers (limelight hydrangeas, foxglove, agastaches, rudbeck ias) native to Long Island. Considering how rich 1903 Deerfield Road is in both execution and potential, Douglas Elliman’s Edington doesn’t believe the $3.75 million abode will linger on this surging real estate market. “This one really is a lot of value for the money,” says Edington. “I always say that some homes are built to sell, but not to last. This one was built to do both.” Jeanine Edington, Douglas Elliman, 2488 Main St., Bridgehampton, 287-0070; jeanineedington.elliman.com H

New businesses have been flocking to Water Mill this summer. In early June, home furnishing retailer West Elm opened a branch in the Water Mill Shoppes. “It’s a character-filled store with great outdoor spaces that allow us to celebrate the ease of living and showcase our furniture,” says Creative Director Vanessa Holden. Nearby, surf-inspired, action-sports-lifestyle company Panda Diplomacy recently opened Surf Panda, which sells surfing apparel and accessories. Gallery 125 is also new in town, joining the Sara Nightingale Gallery on the Water Mill art scene. “Water Mill is currently a quiet nook between East Hampton and Southampton, but I see it growing in to a true art haven,” says Thomas Schultz, executive director and chief curator.

ESTATEMENTS
Bates Masi + Architects marry modern design and function in their Hamptons home creations. BELOW: Panelists Ed Hollander, Steven Dubb, Dan Scotti, and Rylan Jacka.
Art of Architecture Michael Braverman: We’ve spent a lot of time in this series talking about people’s homes and the way they live. Today, we’re going to be talking about how arts, culture, and commerce intersect. Ed Hollander: There’s a sophistication level to the clients we deal with out here. They tend to be patrons of the arts, whether it’s fine arts or the theater, and that often gets incorporated into the designs of their homes and landscapes. Rylan Jacka: People tend to want to get new art for their houses out here as opposed to assembling the collection that they’ve gathered over many years. Nearby, there are so many great galleries. Steven Dubb: We’ve also seen art institutions flourish, like the Parrish and Guild Hall—these are great platforms for buying and viewing, so they’ve become cultural centers for people out here. MB: We’ve seen that this intersection of money does make a difference, but is it different here compared to other wealthy areas and
174
resort communities? Robert Nelson: A big difference is that in other communities, there’s usually a specific style of art, whereas here there’s everything. EH: The arts are such an integral part of daily life here, from William Merritt Chase to people who collect works by people who have lived and painted here. Before, artists were starving, and now they’re wealthy. It’s a remarkable group that gravitates toward the Hamptons. MB: Many of you have deep backgrounds here—is the art and culture now different from what it was in the past? Susan Breitenbach: I moved out here 35 years ago full-time, and I did it because of my love for the arts. It was a very small community back then, although very strong. SD: One of the downsides is that real estate is so expensive, struggling artists don’t come to live here anymore. RJ: I see a few of them in Montauk. There are still affordable areas—just

“People out here tend to be patrons of the arts and that often gets incorporated into the designs of their homes and landscapes.” —ED HOLLANDER more dispersed. There are people out here who aren’t successful artists yet but who manage to live out here. There are also wealthy residents who run programs to sponsor artists. RN: I’ve also seen a lot of creative people who have found interesting ways to monetize their art—someone like Elizabeth Dow. She has a new showroom in East Hampton village and is a very successful person. Helen Bilt, who’s based in Sag Harbor, makes beautiful lighting, and she’s doing very well. Dan Scotti: It would be disingenuous to say that the Hamptons is still the same as it was in the de Kooning and Pollock days. All of our practices out here are related to the wealth and sophistication of the community, but that doesn’t necessarily prevent the younger generations from finding a place. RN: Last year, four tatters rented a house on the highway, and it was $1,800 a month, and they all had bedrooms and brought friends out and they had a terrific time. Harry Bates: That’s exactly what they did 50 years ago—there were 10 artists in a house. It’s the same thing now; it just costs a little more. MB: Are the people with wealth contributing more to the arts here? EH: There’s no question that they’re supporting the institutions. If you look at the renovation of Guild Hall, the wealth that has come here has poured into these institutions and benefits the people who live here. CP: I was talking to the directors [at the Parrish] after the first event, and its membership has increased 10-fold [with the new building]. They built this great piece of architecture to hold more art and host more programs, which is clearly a great benefit to everyone. DS: My interior design clients are supporting local artists. They make an effort to incorporate local pieces in their collections. Are your clients concerned about the local community?
Susan Breitenbach, Harry Bates, Robert Nelson, and Campion Platt talk with moderator Michael Braverman.
SB: I think they really do care about the arts; they care a lot about the towns and the character, and the arts are a big part of that. I have a lot of people who come out here and ask about the museums; it’s all important. EH: It’s all about families and the multiple layers of what’s available in this community. It’s not just the beaches and restaurants—it’s everything else that adds character. People aren’t looking to buy a home anymore; they’re looking to buy a place where their kids are going to grow up. Architecture can be modified, but people are really attracted to certain areas. It’s amazing how specific people are in the way they approach different towns and their preferences. We talk about the Hamptons as if its one thing, but for most people, the towns are in and of themselves singular communities. SB: People are always asking me what my favorite town is and I think each of them is so different. Just thinking about Montauk… I would go there 10 years ago and there was nothing. Now the younger people are looking to buy out there. Ten years ago, people couldn’t locate Sag Harbor and now everyone goes there. MB: Today there’s an emphasis on doing things with passion and compassion. How does that relate to your business? HB: There are a lot of developers who are in it just to make money and will cut corners and forgo design features because it’s not necessary to sell the house for the price they want. I look at it a little differently, because what you build will probably be standing for the next 40 or 50 years and you want to be able to drive by and be proud—especially in this community where you’ve got such beautiful context. CP: For many of us in the arts—and I consider myself in the arts as well—we live to work and we work to live. This is one of the few places where we get to interact daily with such high-caliber people—whether it’s clients, contractors, artisans, or artists—and then you can shift gears and three minutes later, you’re in shorts at the beach with your family. It’s a bit like heaven out here. H

Canvassing the Hamptons REAL ESTATE BROKER CINDY FARKAS GLANZROCK CREATED HER NICHE BY HELPING EAST END ARTISTS FIND CREATIVE SPACES TO WORK AND DISPLAY THEIR ART. BY STEPHANIE MURG
W
hen Austin-based artist Greg Miller was in the market for a Hamptons retreat last summer, he didn’t scour the real estate listings. Instead, he simply mentioned his interest to Cindy Farkas Glanzrock, then hopped on a plane. Soon Miller and his wife had sealed the deal on their ideal property: a home in the Springs that is set on an acre with enough room to build a sizable art studio. “I thrive on making creative connections, putting deals together that can help people find what they are looking for, while advancing their love of the arts,” says Glanzrock, who frequently combines her expertise as a commercial real estate broker with a lifelong passion for art. In the Hamptons, that may take the form of helping artists find studio space, working to nurture and expose the work of local artists, or developing artist-in-residence programs—including one in the works at her own home in Sagaponack, where construction on a backyard studio for visiting artists is set to begin this fall.
Glanzrock’s latest initiative is the Building Art Curatorial Program (BACP), which brings works by emerging artists into commercial spaces. “This is not a consignment program,” she explains. “We lease the artwork and pay for it, so the gallery and the artist get the money right away. And of course, the work is available for purchase.” Once a commercial partner signs on, BACP handles everything from working with the artist’s gallery and selecting the works—which are displayed on a rotating basis—to insurance, moving, and signage. Rather than focus on blue-chip names or “safe” works, Glanzrock matches buildings and artists with an eye to sparking surprise, delight, and spirited conversation. Her current focus is an irresistible strain of street art, including works by
Keith Haring collaborator LA Roc (also known as LA II) and Sen2. “I love to see the smiles of everyone who passes through and sees my work,” says DOC (Desire Obtain Cherish), whose high-shine Pop sculptures—including Delicious Mess, a giant overturned ice cream cone, and Meltdown, a series of colorful melting Blow Pops—now greet visitors in the lobby of 1001 Sixth Avenue in NYC. As Glanzrock prepares to hit the upcoming Hamptons art fairs, she is at work on expanding BACP eastward. Among her summer projects is placing the work of Irish-born, Montauk-based artist Stephanie Whiston in waterfront restaurants. “Stephanie does these remarkable underwater photographs and is committed to educating people about preserving our oceans,” says Glanzrock. “I think it’s a perfect match.” glanzrockrs.com H

GARDEN CLUB
The garden outside the Leiber Collection is a work of art on its own.
Abstract Acreage “M
y most geometric drawings come from the garden,” says Gerson Leiber, a 92-year-old modernist artist living and working in Springs. Walking along a winding brick path through his five acres of verdant space, Leiber mentions a series of abstract paintings based on hedges. “Strict lines help define the canvas, but I found them too limiting,” he says smiling mischievously. “I want to be free!” That freedom pervades Leiber’s barn-style studio in East Hampton, where he still paints today. Its double-height windows overlook English boxwood parterres pruned in diagonal and oval lines. Since completing his hedge series in the late ’90s, Leiber has continued to observe nature’s energy and expansiveness and maintains the
178
moxie necessary to preserve it. Leiber’s most recent exhibition, “Rites of Spring: A Modernist View of Nature” at the Carter Burden Gallery in New York, which ran until mid-May, was a synthesis of more than 50 years of work along with an evocation of the beauty and honesty one can derive from nature. Springs was already known as the cradle of the Abstract Expressionist movement when Leiber and his wife, Judith, the famed handbag designer, moved there in 1956, the same year that Jackson Pollock died in a drunk-driving accident near his house on Fireplace Road. Leiber says he slowly developed a love for gardening while continuing to grow the couple’s successful accessories company. To one side of
their long driveway, which is lined with climbing roses on a green wooden fence, a small gate opens onto a rectangular lawn with five columnar hornbeams in the center. The design came to Leiber as a way of “not fighting” the flatness of the lot, which he purchased years after buying the original farm. A double row of 15-year-old pink rhododendrons flanks the lawn on one side, breaking the geometry of the landscape and adding a touch of color in spring. Beneath the rhododendrons is a clearing for teak benches and a cement column built for a bronze urn in the style of those made by the great bronzemaker Claude Ballin for the gardens of Versailles. On the urn’s handles, the faces of a young man and a young woman look outward, while their old

faces look inward. He says he bought it locally at an antiques shop and wasn’t sure where it came from, but he knew it was something special. Across from the geometric lawn is Leiber’s studio, with English boxwood parterres just beyond it, now partially removed after a winter of extreme and fluctuating temperatures. Leiber mentions that his dwarf-leaf boxwood is more fragile and prone to decline than the large-leaf varieties. Three columnar junipers

stand in the center of the pruned boxwood, creating a scene of emerald and grayish greens. Although some of Leiber’s paintings evoke his garden, his abstract paintings are “inspired by abstract thoughts, not actual landscapes,” he says. On the other side of the boxwood garden is the quarter-acre potager, with two espaliered pear trees at one end and raspberries running along the side. Asparagus lettuce, chard, and corn peek out of the loamy soil, which has come
a long way since the old days, when this was an abandoned farm with furniture and a car halfburied in the ground. The path from the Leibers’ private garden to the back of their house and to the nearby Leiber Collection, ends at a gate with knob-shaped boxwood topiaries strewn under red oaks, looking like children running to greet you. Beyond the gate there is a giant lawn with a fountain of a cherub holding a dolphin, a copy of the original by Andrea del Verrochio, created for Lorenzo de’ Medici in the 1500s. At the end of the lawn a Palladian building, in the style of a garden folly, houses a collection of Leiber’s paintings, the couple’s Chinese porcelain pieces, and Judith Leiber’s magnificent purses, spanning the decades between 1963, when she started the company, until 1998, when she retired. As if freshly plucked from their potager, minaudières shaped like asparagus, watermelons, and eggplants sparkle in all colors of the rainbow from inside the display cases. Gerson Leiber recounts how exclusive the purses always were, and that husbands would give them as presents to their wives “if they could afford them.” But the Leibers never gave each other expensive gifts—“just our love,” he says, still smiling. 446 Old Stone Hwy., East Hampton, 329-3288; leibermuseum.org H
DRAWING FROM NATURE Elisa Contemporary Art mounts “Zenscapes,” an exhibition of landscape abstracts from three coastal artists. East Hampton artist Michele D’Ermo is just one of a trio of talents displaying landscapes and seascapes that have been reimagined through paint, rag paper, and mixed media as part of the “Zenscapes” exhibit at The Design Studio in Bridgehampton through July 7. The local talent blends together land, water, and skies through her use of rich colors and ambient light, creating paintings that contain “the unfiltered, unfamiliar, and unknown.” Also part of the show are Los Angeles Flow artist Kimber Berry and San Jose paper constructionist Michael Buscemi, whose latest work was inspired by Georgia’s Caucasus Mountains, Black Sea, and wild winds. His recently completed piece Your Path is part of his white paper collage series. Berry’s work, Plastic Gardens, explores the modern relationship between humans and nature through digitally manipulated photographs of paint, natural and plastic plants, and flowers embedded into paint. “I create a dialogue of the human condition and raise important questions about how we live with nature,” she says. 2393 Main St., Bridgehampton, 537-1999; designstudio-ny.com

“T
he market is as hot as I’ve ever seen it, and I see nothing on the horizon to stop it,” says Alan Schnurman of Saunders, who recently brokered unprecedented deals in Nyack ($13 million) and Shelter Island ($9.5 million). “In the Hamptons, when the market moves, it goes up double digits and very fast. Everybody is concerned about missing it. Now we’re seeing bidding wars at the higher price points.” Schnurman, who has been developing land in Bridgehampton and Sagaponack since 1986, sees real estate’s current success as being tied directly to the stock market. As long as the latter stays stable, the former will thrive. And it’s been a long time coming. “We’re getting over a four-year period where things were quiet, so there’s pentup demand,” says Schnurman. “We’re selling between 40 and 50 houses a week in the Hamptons. I’ve never seen that before!” —ALAN SCHNURMAN Used to a post - Memorial Day slowdown that usually carries through August, Schnurman has instead had to adjust to a work schedule that has only become busier as the weather heats up. That means the industry veteran, who can count 15 marathons and a trip to Mount Everest base camp among his accomplishments, has had to put his hobbies on hold. But he’s not complaining. “The market is so active that you want to be here,” Schnurman explains. “Every day is full of passion. It’s exhilarating!” 14 Main St., Southampton, 917-991-4076; hamptonsrealestate.com

Making Waves TED CONKLIN, OWNER OF THE AMERICAN HOTEL, SETS SAIL WITH PRIVATE YACHT CHARTERS. BY ERIN RILEY
PHOTOGRAPHY BY DOUG KNUTZ
“I
’ve always dreamed of chartering a classic Trumpy Yacht, and after a career of 18-hour days at The American Hotel, I decided it was about time,” says owner Ted Conklin, who has helmed the landmark hotel for over 40 years. The Long Island native grew up sailing sloops and always associated old-world elegance with Trumpy Yachts, a limited run of wooden ships built by John Trumpy & Sons in Annapolis from the late ’40s to the early ’70s, each with the company’s signature gold filigree T on the hull. After purchasing America in 2008, Conklin joined such esteemed names as Guggenheim, Chrysler, DuPont, and Dodge, all past Trumpy owners. The 75-foot America was originally built in 1965 for James L. Knight, a newspaper publisher and noted philanthropist. Beautifully maintained over the years, the yacht sports Trumpy’s signature handcrafted
mahogany hull and oak frames as well as three staterooms that feature en suite bathrooms and modern amenities. To ensure smooth sailing, Conklin recently invested in the top-of-the-line Seakeeper gyro stabilizer, which allows for “1,000 pounds of steel to rotate at 10,000 rpm, removing over half the roll in a beam sea,” he explains. From her home port of Sag Harbor, America is available for catered events arranged through The American Hotel as well as destination-oriented getaways to Block Island, Newport, and Palm Beach. “If you don’t have time for the return trip, we can even arrange for pickup by single- or double-engine aircraft or seaplane,” suggests Conklin, who, despite his new seafaring lifestyle, remains a true hotelier at heart.
