FRONT RUNNER Elvis Presley was a guest on Frank Sinatra’s Welcome Home Party television special, taped at the Fontainebleau hotel in Miami Beach in 1960. It was Presley’s first TV appearance after getting out of the Army.

True Bleau

The black and white bow-tie-patterned marble floor, Champagne bubble façade, and floating “staircase to nowhere” are just some of the luxurious details that define the Fontainebleau Miami Beach. First labeled flamboyant by critics, today it’s one of the most recognized landmarks in Miami, and the man who brought it to life is considered a luminary. The Fontainebleau made headlines six decades ago when architect Morris Lapidus proclaimed he would build “the world’s most pretentious hotel.” The architectural community was aghast at the thought of such a behemoth going up along pristine Collins Avenue, and on completion the opulent vacation palace delivered what Lapidus had promised. Officially opening its doors on December 20, 1954, with a posh gala for 1,600 people, it instantly became a favorite retreat of the rich and famous, including Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe, and other midcentury icons. In this photo, Presley appeared on Sinatra’s TV show in 1960, filmed in the Fontainebleau ballroom.

64 oceandrive.com

Today, the Fontainebleau—which has been the recipient of numerous architecture awards and has served as a backdrop for movies like Goldfinger and Scarface—still plays host to the crème de la crème. “The diversity of athletes and entertainers we see is astounding; Floyd Mayweather, Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry, Princess Beatrice, rapper Pitbull (who favors Sinatra’s suite), and nearly a dozen presidents from JFK on have stayed here,” says Fontainebleau President and Chief Operating Officer Philip Goldfarb. “When people walk inside—even today—their jaws drop when they see the extravagance.” Despite the many buildings and hotels Lapidus built around the globe, as well as the Fontainebleau’s undeniable cultural and historic significance, the architect never achieved prominence among his peers during that era. Yet, as Goldfarb says, “There isn’t—and never will be—another place quite like the Fontainebleau.” 4441 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 305-538-2000; fontainebleau.com OD

FRONT RUNNER

An early Burger King restaurant in the 1950s.

Home of tHe WHopper Burger King was almost a queen—Dairy Queen, that is. Founder David Edgerton had initially been interested in buying one of the soft-serve franchises in the 1950s, but instead secured rights to a restaurant called “Insta-Burger” in the Allapatah neighborhood of Miami. It was a simple operation: Other than hamburgers, the early menu only offered french fries, milkshakes, and a few desserts. Soon after opening in 1954, Edgerton and friend James McLamore formed the Burger King Corporation and eventually dropped the “Insta” from the name. A legend was flame broiled. The worldwide success of the chain would probably not have been possible, however, if not for the introduction of its marquee item, the Whopper, in 1957 (which cost just 37 cents at the time). The popularity of this burger, along with a highly visible television campaign declaring, “Burger King, Home of the Whopper,” allowed the company to franchise nationally—and internationally—seven years after first opening. It was also notable for being the first

franchise to offer dining rooms as a means of elevating otherwise quotidian fast food joints. Today, more than 11 million people visit over 13,000 Burger King locations every day, everywhere from Poland to New Zealand, and the once-humble Miami spot has risen to become the second-largest fast food hamburger chain in the world. (In fact, BK just completed an $11 billion purchase of Canadian coffee and doughnut house Tim Hortons, though the company maintains its headquarters will remain in Miami.) The initial four-item menu has been expanded to now include over a dozen burgers, 32 breakfast options, and three different types of kids meals. However, there’s at least one item you can’t order at today’s drive-through. The 1959 menu included the (literally) heart-stopping “whistle-pig”—a baconwrapped hot dog stuffed with cheese and then charbroiled. We suppose some dishes are better left in the past. OD

Letter from the editor-in-Chief

from left:

Welcome back to miami!

With chef Masaharu Morimoto at the grand opening of his namesake restaurant inside the Shelborne Wyndham Grand.

For many of you, this is a return, an annual mecca. For most, though, I suspect you stayed and never left, or have been back several times since. But I have a confession to make: I didn’t buy anything at Art Basel last year. I visited the convention center at least twice, I went to satellite fairs, events, exhibitions, dined under the stars with Swarovski, toured Louis Vuitton’s La Maison au bord de l’eau, and marveled at the amazing job our city does year after year. There was a Koons elephant on display for $20 million, which I’ll admit was a bit steep, although another piece of his did go for the bargain-basement price of $8 million before I could bid on it. I was so busy taking in all of the art that purchasing the art slipped my mind. There was the $650,000 Yayoi Kusama pumpkin that went fast, too. There were Tracey Emin’s neons, Ai Weiwei’s display at the then newly launched PAMM (can you believe it’s already been a year?), Basquiat, Warhol, Close, Haring, Hirst—a little bit of something for everyone. The heavy hitters were all there—Pérez, Rosen, Margulies, the Rubells, Braman, DeWoody, Gagosian, Zwirner. It was a banner year with over $3 billion worth of art displayed. And not to live in the past, or even to name-drop (guilty as charged), but there was something in the air last year—an excitement over Miami. The private jets landed, and the cultural world descended upon South Florida. There was buzz

over the new properties going up, and while most were just talk in 2013, now they’ve officially broken ground, gold and platinum shovels and all: The Thompson and The Edition—up. Take a look at the Miami and the Miami Beach skylines— at this time next year, they’ll be different yet again. This is probably the last Art Basel before an additional several dozen buildings and several thousand condos rise up. We’re all about art in Miami for the month of December. That’s why it gives me great pleasure to feature our cover star, Krysten Ritter, starring in Big Eyes later this month. The film is an exposé on the life and controversy surrounding artist Margaret Keane. Yet we’re all about art for the other 11 months, too. Whether you’re driving through Wynwood enveloped by graffiti, grabbing a drink at the Shelborne’s Drawing Room under the neon sign that reads too much is never enough , or examining Julian Schnabel’s work at the NSU Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale, it’s everywhere you go. So no, while I didn’t make a large purchase at Art Basel 2013, I’ll have to remind myself that is why we are all here this month—for the art.

’Tis The season To celebraTe, and as always, there are more than just the holidays to look forward to here in Miami. Jet-setters from all over the world will be joining us locals December 4 through 7 for Art Basel, one of Miami’s most celebrated art events, now entering its 13th season. Gifts won’t be the only thing being opened in the coming weeks. Privately tucked away, right on the water, The Miami Beach Edition will be opening its doors, welcoming a curious crowd to witness the arrival of this much-buzzed-about urban resort. Blocks away, the new Thompson Miami Beach brings a modern, hip twist to Mid-Beach. And 1 Hotel is right behind, rounding out the luxe Collins Avenue lineup for a plethora of socialites, celebrities, and anyone escaping to our beautiful Miami winter weather. In addition, Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Dior, and many other highfashion guilty pleasures have filled the Design District’s rapidly burgeoning streets, continuing the growth of one of Miami’s chicest neighborhoods. For such an exciting issue, we’re happy to feature the stunning and talented Krysten Ritter, whom everyone is waiting to see alongside Golden Globe winner Amy Adams in the new Tim Burton-directed film, Big Eyes, out on Christmas Day. As you can see, even as the weather cools, Miami stays hotter than ever. There is always something to do, or celebrate, in this little oasis we call home. Hope to see you around…

HunTer BraiTHWaiTe Journalist

DaviD DreBin Photographer After graduating from New York’s Parsons The New School for Design, photographer David Drebin made a name for himself creating images of movie stars, sports personalities, and various entertainers; he’s also been commissioned for numerous high-profile advertising campaigns around the world. His work was featured in his debut book, Love and other stories, as well as at Art Miami. In this issue, he photographed the fashion feature at some of Miami’s top luxury real estate sales centers. “Because the sales centers are so ‘perfect’ looking, it was a challenge to make perfection look interesting,” he says.

Hunter Braithwaite writes about art and edits the Miami rail, a quarterly publication devoted to contemporary art and culture. During a hiatus from school, he began writing for national geographic’s travel books department. The world traveler has since lived in Shanghai—where he freelanced for numerous publications, including time out, the wall street Journal, and artforum.com—Miami, and Memphis. He details the ins and outs of buying art in this issue’s “Rules of Engagement.” “The market often gets behind the wrong artists, but somebody like Gerhard Richter is a conceptual game changer, a phenomenal painter, and a sound investment,” says Braithwaite. “I think you should only collect for love. Reducing a work of art to a part of a portfolio defeats the purpose. If you want a commodity, try soybeans.”

BreTT sokol Culture Contributor

Carla Torres Food Writer

Whether you consider it New York City’s sixth borough or Havana’s northernmost suburb, Miami in all its surreal glory holds a longstanding fascination for Brett Sokol. It’s a subject he explores each month as ocean drive’s arts editor, as well as in stories he’s written for the new york times, new york magazine, and slate. In this issue, Sokol writes about Daniel Arsham’s work in “Art Full” as well as the 30th anniversary of the ArtCenter/South Florida in “Magic City.” “The ArtCenter’s success is directly attributable to the long-term vision of its founder, Ellie Schneiderman,” says Sokol. “In a town forever chasing the ‘new’ new thing, her oldschool ideas have been more than vindicated.”

Describing herself as “gluttonous and knowing no limits when it comes to food,” Carla Torres has written for food & wine, Brickell Magazine/key Biscayne Magazine, thelatinkitchen .com, and the Miami herald; she is also travel + Leisure’s Miami expert. In this issue, she tries the Caribbean eggnog at Area 31 and samples many restaurant newcomers in “Spotlight.” “I had the chance to be Michael Shikany’s guinea pig for one of his Friday degustation menus, and after about 12 courses (including dessert) we got a surprise—the à la carte nori macaron with ginger spiced tuna tartare. Just thinking about it makes me want to get into my car and drive over there right now.”

“ LocaLLy, supporting one artist or another has a reaL and Lasting effect in cuLture. coLLectors know this and Love it.” —hunter braithwaite 92 oceandrive.com

Giorgio Armani might be known best as the epitome of elegant, timeless design, but innovation and modernity are also two concepts near and dear to the designer, and his new Borgonuovo bag combines the best of both worlds. Named for Armani’s longtime address at the Via Borgonuovo in Milan, the classic, versatile tote is now available in a limited-edition shade of lime green, designed exclusively for the American market. “I wanted to condense the sense of purity and surprise that I see in the arts district of Brera, specifically that of Via Borgonuovo, where I have lived since 1982, into the Borgonuovo bag,” says Armani of his inspiration behind the handbag, which is available in medium and small versions at the Giorgio Armani boutique in the Design District. “The functional elegance of the bag’s design conceals unexpected contrasting interiors, just like the austere façades of the buildings on my street, which often conceal beautiful gardens.” Featuring adjustable handles with buckle accents along with horizontal and perpendicular seams, the design of the Borgonuovo works to showcase its different surfaces and shades. “The Borgonuovo has a simple, timeless design that works for any occasion,” he says. “It’s a minimalist bag that is well-proportioned.” Reimagined in bold, exotic materials, the lime green incarnation serves as a Miami-appropriate continued on page 118

And while the vibrant shade seems tailor-made for South Beach, the new bag isn’t the only offering the designer has cooking for the Magic City. Soon, those who love Armani clothes and accessories can take their devotion one step further, with an Armani-inspired apartment. Armani/Casa Interior Design Studio has partnered with Dezer

Development and The Related Group to design and develop the Residences by Armani/Casa at 18975 Collins Avenue. Designed in collaboration with architect César Pelli, the Residences feature a sleek, 60-story oceanfront tower encompassing 260 luxury condos envisioned with the Armani aesthetic in mind. “For me, interior design is always about creating a calm and safe atmosphere in which you can relax and recover from the stresses of the outside

world,” says Armani. “Aesthetically, I prefer timeless style to anything more overtly fashionable or trend-driven, and many people share a love of this approach, especially where their homes are concerned. My clothing and work for Armani/Casa are united through a shared consistency of approach.” Scheduled to be completed in 2016, the Residences by Armani/ Casa will have interiors created by the Armani/

Casa Interior Design Studio, an interior design services branch of the company that was launched in 2003. Under the artistic direction of Giorgio Armani himself, the studio develops designs that take into account cultural, geographical, and architectural elements of the space and location—including custommade built-in furnishings—in order to integrate seamlessly into the landscape. “Armani/Casa was born from my desire to see my

design aesthetic at work in interior spaces,” says Armani, adding that the Miami project is particularly unique and close to his heart. “On a project like this, we get the opportunity to create something really very special—a remarkable living space, imbued with the spirit of modern elegance.” giorgio armani, bal harbour shops, 9700 collins ave., 305-8611515; armani.com. armani/ casa, miami design district, 10 ne 39th st., 305-5734331; armanicasa.com OD

PhilanthroPist and Woman around toWn Arlene ChAplin stoPs to breathe, just for a second, to give us her mustknoWs for style. by jared shapiro Breathe in, breathe out. It’s one of the most important things to do in the middle of a busy season, but all too often, many of us forget. Not Arlene Chaplin, whose philanthropic endeavors make her one of the most in-demand women in Miami, from cochairing lunches for the Women’s Cancer League and Project Newborn to serving on the Board of Trustees at PAMM. But her breathing goes far beyond her own lungs with

her YogArt, an open-to-thepublic collaboration of yoga, art, and music she cocreated in 2011 and which takes place this year during Art Basel. Chaplin is also a go-to Miami resident in the know for all things fashion and lifestyle. “I can always find fun and trendy casual clothes at Atrium (1931 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 305-695-0757; atriumnyc .com) for myself and my 23-year-old daughter,

Jennifer.” She lists designers like Valentino (“elegant and timeless”) for the perfect fit, and relies on Abbey Glassman at Neiman Marcus at Bal Harbour Shops (9700 Collins Ave., 305-865-6161; neiman marcus.com) to “find me a fabulous gown at the last minute,” while her “dear friend Mary Harris sets aside the perfect matching bag.” For beautiful and one-of-akind jewelry, it’s Phillips

Frankel (1935 West Ave., Stes. 200–202, Miami Beach, 800-892-5656; phillipshouse .com). “My friend Lisa Frankel started making jewelry and selling out of her house,” Chaplin says. “Now she sells it in her own store in Sunset Harbour, as well as at Saks.” While Chaplin’s beauty is more than skin deep, a facial from Lauren Anavim at Le Petite Skin Retreat (400 Alton Road, Miami Beach, 305-604-9709; vagaro.com/lepetiteskinretreat) never hurts. “It’s the best little secret in town.” Chaplin has her own treasures, too. “My mother gave me my grandmother’s engagement ring,” she says. “I made it into earrings that I

have worn and I now share with my daughter. Whenever [she] wears them, I am reminded of my grandparents and their love. They were married over 50 years.” Her own husband, Wayne Chaplin, president and CEO of Southern Wine & Spirits, must have taken note. “[He] had a few special pieces made for me on an anniversary or a birthday,” Chaplin says. “They have great meaning because they were given with loads of love. We just celebrated our 28th anniversary in September at one of our favorite romantic spots, Fisher Island.” YogArt, Wynwood Walls, 2520 NW Second Ave., Miami; yogart event.com OD

These diamond-bedecked beauties don’t merely track time, they also offer breathtaking appeal that will have heads turning all over town this holiday season. On top of that, they tend to keep their value for generations to come, making them heirloom quality. The first timepieces dressed in diamonds appeared in the 16th century and were most likely a reaction to John Calvin’s ban on jewelry. To save their trade, many gem-setters and goldsmiths combined their craft with that of clockmakers—as clocks were still

This season, your wrist can shine brighter than the lights along Lincoln Road. For more watch features and expanded coverage, go to ocean drive.com/watches. OD

Style Fashion Conscience

Luxe et Veritas

We’ve just set sail off the British Virgin Islands with the official Loro Piana race crew during the 2014 Loro Piana Caribbean Superyacht Regatta & Rendezvous. Pier Luigi Loro Piana, vice chairman of the eponymous Italian textile and luxury goods brand, and Matthieu Brisset, Loro Piana’s new CEO from LVMH, huddle near the massive helm, strategizing with top sailors from around the globe. Dressed as one of the crew, at age 63, Pier Luigi grins. “Jazz and sailing are my passions,” he says, “besides wool and cashmere.” Discussing his decision to sell a majority of his family business to LVMH—the European luxury conglomerate acquired an 80 percent stake in Loro Piana in July 2013 for 2 billion euros (about $2.6 billion USD)—Pier Luigi, who remains hands-on, is quick to smile. He feels his company is tacking in the right direction. And though he may sail the largest yachts in the ocean, he can also be found in a dinghy scouring the far reaches of the earth for the kinds of exquisite textiles his customers associate with his brand. His latest gem, the fiber of the lotus flower, is a frontrunner in the company’s evolving commitment toward sustainable luxury—a buzzword among top-tier brands vying for the attention of a discerning clientele, one that increasingly prioritizes social conscience. According to a recent study published by the World Jewellery Confederation (CIBJO), luxury brands may lose business if they fail to emphasize corporate and social responsibility. Jonathan Kendall, CIBJO’s president of marketing and education, notes, “Corporate responsibility will be directly linked to a luxury company’s profitability in the future.” The 2013 Cone Communications/Echo Global Study on CSR found that nine out of 10 global consumers want companies to exceed minimum standards required by law to operate responsibly. “We are looking for quality—that strategy will never change,” Pier Luigi explains, “but with the mentality to respect the environment in how we produce and manufacture. This is very important—to do less damage to this world.” THE CALL OF CRAFTSMANSHIP Established in 1924 by Pietro Loro Piana—with origins dating back to 1812 with the vision of Pier Luigi’s greatgrandfather Giacomo Loro Piana—the company was the first to brand and label a textile during the late 1800s. “We were known for making good, thick, woolen coats—and high-quality fabric, particularly for men,” Pier Luigi explains. “After WWII, [my father] made a strategic change, with products for both men and women.” Pier Luigi and his late brother, Sergio, took over in the 1970s and began exporting fabrics, and today, the Italian house is the world’s largest cashmere manufacturer and the biggest single purchaser of the globe’s finest wools, with 150 retail outlets, 16 of them in the United States, including one in Bal Harbour. Unlike brands that outsource steps in production, Loro Piana’s sheep-to-shop

At its group headquarters in Corso Rolandi, Italy, one will find artists with tweezers working over swaths of cashmere, while huge, high-tech machines support a large-scale, modern-day operation as the sixth-generation Italian brand remains rooted in its quest for high-quality craftsmanship. “In the ’80s, we invested in a lot of new technology,” Pier Luigi says, “but the machinery can do nothing without people who can manage it and sometimes perfection is still guaranteed by the fine mending made by hand.” continued on page 132

stems of the aquatic plant produce an extremely fine raw material akin to linen and raw silk. But they have to be hand-worked on wooden looms; from the moment the flowers are de-stemmed, the filaments must be extracted within 24 hours or the material is no longer usable. It takes 6,500 stems to obtain a little over four yards of the light-as-air, breathable yarn needed for a single cut length of a blazer. The production supports an ancient art and economy in jeopardy. “We will not lose this tradition, which was ready to die,” Pier Luigi says. Given this hands-on approach, a limited number of blazers are produced each year. Packaged in a beautiful, handcrafted lacquer box, the Lotus Flower jacket—available only in its natural ecru color—is custom priced, and limited-cut lengths are offered for made-to-order blazers. A NEW LEVEL OF LUXURY To some, the merger of Loro Piana with LVMH, which also owns prestigious brands such as Veuve Clicquot, TAG Heuer, Dom Pérignon, Céline, Loewe, and Givenchy, was a surprising move. For Pier Luigi, however, it made perfect sense. “The group has the know-how, the system, management, and the potential to continue and develop the strategy Loro Piana already put in place,” he says. “That’s why we selected LVMH for the future of the company.” LVMH is also a committed advocate of environmental protection and a member of the United Nations Global Compact, which requires its signatories to apply and promote 10 principles in the fields of human rights, labor, and the environment.

“Quality is the prime character of everything we do,” Pier Luigi notes. “We’ve built a consciousness that high quality is related to natural fibers.” By quality, he refers to unparalleled texture, color, refinement—and the avoidance of a detrimental effect on the environment. “If you put a jacket of wool under the dirt, it will die. The nylon jacket never dies.” Bal Harbour Shops, 9700 Collins Ave., 305-867-1680; 245 Worth Ave., Palm Beach, 561833-7016; loropiana.com OD

GLOBAL GOODS, ANCIENT GOODS Traveling with a small circle of two to three trusted researchers, Pier Luigi frequently leads international trips to uncover new materials. “It’s important that somebody who wants to judge new products has a deep knowledge of the raw material,” he explains. Much of the fabric used for the brand’s most coveted pieces comes from the vicuña, a South American relative of the llama. Only 12.5 to 13 microns thick, vicuña fibers are considered the finest that can be legally culled from an adult animal; the resulting wool is incomparable in softness and quality. Due to poaching, at one point only 5,000 vicuña remained. Loro Piana began working with local governments to safeguard the animal in the 1980s, and in 2008, it established the nature reserve Dr. Franco Loro Piana Reserva (named after the founder’s nephew). Today, the vicuña head count is approximately 180,000 and Loro Piana is the top producer of vicuña goods. But it is an ancient, natural fiber once used for hand-crafted monks’ garments and sacred to the Buddha that is Pier Luigi’s latest preoccupation—and with good reason. “An old friend of mine, Choichiro Motoyama, gave me a piece of fabric made in Myanmar. He said, ‘This is from the lotus flower.’ I touched it, and it was different than anything else; it looks like raw silk, has the shine of a linen, but it’s soft.” Immediately smitten, Pier Luigi decided to fasttrack production and in 2010 contracted the local community to produce the lotus-flower fiber. “This fabric is the greenest textile fabric of the world,” he says. “There is no electricity involved, no engine that works on the machinery, nothing.” The

The GanG’s all here

december 19 marks a homecoming and history-making night for Fleetwood Mac. Miami is known for its unique blend of music featuring elements of Latin beats and pop rhythms. Seventies rock ’n’ roll? Not so much. But that doesn’t stop potentially 50,000 or so people from seeking out the classic genre when Fleetwood Mac comes to town on December 19. Not surprisingly, Fleetwood Mac is one of the most iconic bands to come out of that generation and has bridged the gap between the Baby Boomers and Millennials. With their emotionally charged music and charismatic stage presence, Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, Christine and John McVie, and Mick Fleetwood have captivated audiences for years despite their numerous breaks. After being on hiatus since 2009, Fleetwood Mac left many South Floridian fans disappointed when the group canceled their much-anticipated June 2013 concert at the BB&T Center—one of a number of called-off shows due to John McVie’s battle with cancer. But like the hook of a great song, the band caught the ear of fans when they announced Christine McVie would be returning to the group after her 15-year leave to help headline their 2014 On With the Show tour. And their one stop in Sunrise is sure to make up for the years of built-up anticipation as the original members featured on the band’s best-selling Rumours album return to the stage. “This is something we never thought we’d

see again,” says Miami music critic Howard Cohen. “The Rumours-era lineup hasn’t played these parts since 1997, and Christine was adamant about no more music or touring.” Not only will this performance be historical, but it also acts as a homecoming of sorts. Fleetwood Mac recorded parts of the classic Rumours album at the famed Criteria Studios in North Miami in 1976, and it was that album that made music history. It spent 31 weeks at number 1 through most of 1977—which is a recordsetting run for a rock band’s album that remains intact to this day. It was also the first pop/rock album to score four Top 10 singles from one album, something unheard of in that era. “Criteria was a well-regarded studio,” says Cohen. “Stars liked recording in the sunny heat of South Florida rather than chilly New York and liked the getaway from California.” While Miami may be better known as a vacation destination than a rock ’n’ roll mecca, the Magic City’s appreciation for music still draws crowds. Says Cohen, “It is impressive that a group that formed as a British blues band in England in 1967 can still get thousands of South Floridians off the beach into a sports arena.” Fleetwood Mac performs Friday, December 19, at 8 pm at BB&T Center, 1 Panther Pkwy., Sunrise; visit ticketmaster.com.

If the idea of dancing wildly for hours with a sweaty mob slathered in paint sounds a bit much, you’re not alone. Once upon a time, the crew behind Life in Color—dubbed “the world’s largest paint party”—felt exactly the same way. “We thought it was really crazy, to be honest,” says Sebastian Solano, who founded the traveling event with partners Paul Campbell and brothers Lukasz and Patryk Tracz. “We ended up having the time of our lives.” Seven years and millions of gallons of paint, partiers, and dollars later, it’s safe to say the team doesn’t think the concept is so crazy anymore. Regularly selling out arenas and nightclubs for more than 200 performances yearly in over 60 countries around the world, Life in Color isn’t simply a party.

paint, confetti, and upwards of 25,000 revelers. The event is coming back home to Sun Life Stadium in Miami, this time for an expanded two days on December 26 and 27, for its biggest throwdown yet, featuring over 100,000 gallons of paint and superstar DJ Kaskade. Not bad for a group of local boys, none of them older than 30. It all came together when they were attending Florida State University in Tallahassee, plunging deep into the college party scene. Electronic dance music hadn’t quite taken a hold of the public yet, but the guys were early evangelists. “We were already all best friends, and we all have a serious love for the music,” says Lukasz Tracz. “We started throwing a bunch of house parties for fun.” They went to one party in particular, with paint being sprayed everywhere, continued on page 150

calling to get the thendubbed “Dayglow” brand to their city, immediately. A career turning point came when legendary New York nightclub Webster Hall sold out in minutes, reached capacity, and then was shut down by the fire marshal when too many people without tickets showed up trying to get in. “It was almost like a riot in the streets,” says Solano. It was this kind of rapturous mania that made

it clear to Solano and his friends that they had to devote all their effort to it— even if that meant a serious change of plans. “One of my teachers saw what we were doing and just asked me, ‘What are you doing here? Go pursue your dream,’” Lukasz Tracz recalls. “I remember being in class with Lukasz at FSU just when we were about to start a tour of eight cities,” says Solano. “All we were talking about was tickets and marketing.

We realized that this was a multimillion-dollar business and we had to pursue it, especially because we all came from nothing.” In the years since, Life in Color has been staged in such far-flung locations as Poland and Australia, and in 2012 it was acquired by SFX, one of the world’s largest live events production companies. All the success aside, however, the founders still become giddy when it comes to throwing another party in

their hometown. “We’re such proud Miamians,” says Solano of the festival, which last year featured ziplines and Ferris wheels at Sun Life Stadium. “We became big here before anywhere else, and this is our flagship event. This is going to be the best show we’ve ever produced.” life in color festival 2014 takes place friday and saturday, december 26 and 27, at sun life stadium, 2269 nW 199th st., miami gardens; lifeincolor.com.

Beneath the Swamp Welcome to the Future, 2014, by Daniel Arsham (installation view).

152 oceandrive.com

Call it a homecoming: For his Locust Projects installation Welcome to the Future, Miami expat Daniel Arsham returns from Brooklyn to his early stomping grounds—literally. A decade ago, Locust Projects’ Design District building was the site of Arsham’s own Placemaker gallery, where he exhibited his inventive forays into the realm of architectural decay, as well as the handiwork of a kindred local crew. But Welcome to the Future is less a walk down memory lane than an amble through an invented past. Arsham is burrowing into Locust Projects’ floor to create a faux-archeological dig, revealing an array of iconic ’80s consumer items. However, Arsham isn’t taking the ready-made path of least resistance. His installation’s make-believe fossils are all hand-cast from obsidian, ash, or quartz. “I want to question what linear time means, and what your place in it is,” Arsham explains. So is his show a warning to start heading for higher ground? After all, alarmed climatologists have already moved a submerged Locust Projects—and all of greater Miami— out of the realm of science fiction and firmly onto the looming horizon. “I don’t prescribe what viewers take away; it’s an invitation,” Arsham says of his work. Still, he’ll concede that South Florida serves as fertile grist for his imagination. “You can fly into Miami on a plane, look down, and see the edge of the Everglades. You can see communities with houses, pools, and roads. And then there’s a line. Beyond it is only swamp,” he muses. “That line has always fascinated me—the idea of competition and conflict between man-made and natural things.” Welcome to the Future is on view through January 2015 at Locust Projects, 3852 N. Miami Ave., Miami, 305-5768570; locustprojects.org. OD

On the Road Again

The ArtCenter/South FloridA celebraTes an improbable 30 years on lincoln road—and an impending move. by brett sokol Step inside the ArtCenter/South Florida’s flagship building on Miami Beach’s Lincoln Road, and you may find yourself rubbing your eyes in disbelief. Surrounded by a sea of corporate retailers—from the Gap to Victoria’s Secret—is a thriving slice of old-fashioned bohemia. Carved out of an Art Deco-era Burdines department store, the ArtCenter’s two-floor warren of artist studios is nearly 18,000 square feet of quietly humming activity, all open to the public. A block west is a second ArtCenter building, with another hive of artist studios, exhibition spaces, and the office of the nonprofit organization’s executive director, María del Valle. “It’s both a blessing and a curse,” says del Valle with a chuckle of the ArtCenter’s unlikely location. “The artists tell me the beauty of it is being

exposed to so many people. You never know who is going to step into your studio. Maybe it’s a collector who’s going to change your life!” That was part of the inspiration when the ArtCenter first opened its doors in 1985, rallying Miami Beach’s then-nascent arts scene—and, with a quarter of Lincoln Road’s storefronts vacant, offering hope for a burg still trying to shake off a crime-plagued economic slump. Indeed, when ArtCenter founder Ellie Schneiderman scraped together the funds to buy that first building for $700,000, there were plenty of critics. Didn’t renting seem more sensible? Schneiderman couldn’t have disagreed more. A New York City native, she’d already watched the cycle of gentrification play out in her hometown. Owning their property was the only way she believed artists could avoid being priced out of the very neighborhood their presence was helping to rejuvenate. No one’s scoffing at Schneiderman’s vision now. Lincoln Road has made a comeback—with a luxurydrenched vengeance, which is where the “curse” part of María del Valle’s summation kicks in. “I know the city officials will kill me for saying this, but culturally minded people are not coming to Lincoln Road anymore. I wouldn’t come here myself if I didn’t work here,” she says. “In terms of the number of visitors, we’re at an all-time continued on page 156

the ability to try, fail, and then try all over again. We need to allow artists the freedom to do that, the resources to do that, and the physical space to do that. I think the ArtCenter is in a position that we can empower the artists and give them all these things so they don’t have to hold two day jobs before they can even think about creating art.” “Thirty

high. But the proportion of people who enter with an interest in contemporary art is really low. That’s interesting from a programmatic sense, because you can play with that. You can expose people to things they would never expect. But for most of our artists, they feel a lack of relevancy.” In fact, talk to some local artists, and they’ll tell you that an ArtCenter residency carries a career stigma—one damaging enough that they’re willing to forego its studio rental fee of $9 a square foot (not only a bargain by Lincoln Road standards, where the going rate is $300 a square foot, but a good deal, period). Of course, the ArtCenter has always had a bit of an identity crisis. Was it a launching pad for avant-gardists, or a clubhouse for Sunday painters? That fuzzy public image has often obscured

an immense pool of talent, as the ArtCenter’s current exhibition, “Thirty Years on the Road,” makes clear. A history-spanning retrospective featuring more than 100 resident artists from all three decades of the institution’s existence, it showcases both current art world stars, such as the exhibition’s curator, Edouard DuvalCarrié, as well as a host of artists who may not have racked up an Art Basel sales record but who have had a profound effect on their peers: Carlos Alves, Franklin Einspruch, the late Robert Flynn, Charo Oquet, John Sanchez, Kristen Thiele, and Annie Wharton, just for starters. So how does the ArtCenter return the focus to its artistic roster, and not least, solve its long-standing financial woes? Thanks to Ellie Schneiderman’s foresight, the solution lies with its main building—which sold last October for $88 million to a commercial real estate developer. With the proceeds, the ArtCenter intends to buy a spacious building off the Beach—and to create an endowment, cementing its independence for generations to come. “The spirit of art is artists creating simply for the sake of creating—intellectually provoking each other, intellectually provoking the community around them,” del Valle says. “But sometimes the commercial part overshadows

Being Basel

On the OccasiOn Of 2014’s art Basel in MiaMi Beach, three MiaMi lOcals—a gallerist, a cOllectOr, and an artist— talk aBOut the iMpOrtance Of the annual fair. moderated by hunter braithwaite

Over 70,000 expected visitors will experience more than 250 of the world’s most prestigious galleries during the annual Art Basel in Miami Beach. As the city readies itself for another banner year at the festival, three in-the-know aficionados talk about the ABMB experience from three different angles: Fred Snitzer is a Miami-based gallerist who has been on the selection committee since the fair’s inception. Javier Mora is a respected collector and has opened his home many times for the Basel VIP collector tour. The Argentine painter Diego Singh has shown in museums and galleries around the world, including Fredric Snitzer and Tomio Koyama in Tokyo. During a relaxed afternoon at the Mandarin Oriental hotel on Brickell Key, they spoke about what ABMB means to them.

Painter Diego Singh, collector Javier Mora, and Snitzer talking about Art Basel over a meal at La Mar at the Mandarin Oriental, Miami.

Fred, you have been on the selection committee since the beginning. In your eyes, how has Art Basel in Miami Beach changed over the last 13 years? Fred Snitzer: It could have grown much more quickly and it could be 10 times the size that it is, but they’ve chosen over the years not to do any of that. There are probably 20 more dealers than there were in the beginning. I think there are 700 or 800 applicants for those spaces, so the demand has gone up every year. The quality has also improved. Javier, tell us about your history with the Miami fair. Javier Mora: We were fortunate enough to be invited by the Art Basel organizers to open up our house to the Basel VIP program from the beginning. We catered it, serving Venezuelan food and typical Cuban food—the Europeans especially loved that. They would have a lot of art conversations and then they would just lounge in the yard. Usually you’re supposed to go for an allotted time—like half an hour or continued on page 162

so—but they would stay for three or four hours, just lounging. That was a fun way to meet collectors, trustees, curators—people from all over the world. It seems like everybody uses Basel not just to buy and sell art but to meet others who are equally passionate about contemporary art. FS: Absolutely. In a funny way it’s a trade show. It’s a natural meeting place. JM: And the exchange is real. When we travel to London or Paris, we contact collectors that we’ve met and we visit their houses, just like they come to my house here. Diego, you show with two galleries that are in Art Basel. How have you as an artist navigated the shift from the brick-and-mortar

gallery to the international fair network? Diego Singh: To me it’s part of the discourse. The fairs come with the territory for everybody, but that’s not the center of my practice. But I’m not an artist who has been commissioned to do a fair project; there are people who do that. How do you think ABMB differs from all of the other fairs across the world? JM: It is unique because of the selection committee’s due diligence in finding quality galleries. Each one of the galleries has looked for serious and interesting artists. With Basel, in one week we are able to have the exposure that would take a year to get to. Fred, you’ve worked as a

gallerist in Miami for decades. How has the fair changed the city? FS: Profoundly—no one that I had been in business with for the 25 years before Art Basel had any kind of aspiration or fantasy about a fair like Basel coming to Miami. The impact has been across the board. It’s been cultural, it’s been economic, it’s impacted real estate, it’s impacted museums. The whole community has benefited from it. How did the fair predict or contribute to the growth of the art market? FS: Like any smart business people, the Art Basel management saw it coming. They could see it in the market. We had had a big crash of the art market in the late ’80s and early ’90s,

and it was time for another tier, another evolution of that market. So they anticipated, and luckily that anticipation was realized with the fair. Their timing was amazing. JM: Just to talk about numbers, the other day I read that the number of worldwide art collectors is supposedly 600,000 and the number of worldwide millionaires, 32 million. You can see that it just keeps on growing exponentially. FS: It’s still one half of one percent of the world, or less, who looks, cares, is interested in, collects, does anything with contemporary art. It’s a huge opportunity. It’s just a problem in that it’s difficult to educate the public. How many millionaires—how

many people in Miami with huge houses—spend fortunes in real estate, spend anything on art? None, almost none, even now. So there is a dilemma within the art world, but that’s another story. How do you buy art in the fair? JM: You always have to have good, comfortable walking shoes to move around quickly. Have you seen people running? JM: The first few years, yes; now, lately, I think that it’s more of a walk. You have a list of galleries that are visiting that represent the artists you initially focused on. Once you move away from that, you are going to discover somebody new. conTinued on page 164

Snitzer and Singh at La Mar.

Fred, when Javier walks in, you’ll already have been there. How do booths get set up? FS: The fair opens on Wednesday. The soonest a dealer can get in is on Monday morning, so all the trucks and all the containers are there Monday morning. Over the years, the organizers have been so incredibly Swiss about solving any issue immediately. It runs like a clock. [But] Basel has had some funny incidents where a major international collector will have gotten a badge that says installer. DS: What’s the selection committee like? FS: Those committee members know every dealer and every artist. The directors travel the

world. If some little gallery in Bora Bora has a show of a young artist, and if the artist is any good, they know about it. Of all the places in the world, why first expand to Miami? DS: The weather! [Laughs] JM: It’s the center of the world. It’s Miami. FS: They were looking for a counterpoint. They were looking for a winter fair, and you want to do a winter fair somewhere where it’s warm. Also, starting in the ’80s, there was this revelation that there was Latin American art, and of course Miami is the gateway to Latin America, without a doubt. It also had a collector base. Miami has the

Bramans and Marty Margulies, Rosa and Carlos de la Cruz, the Rubells. The city has all those people here—that critical mass of international collecting. Let’s talk survival tips. DS: Drink soup, eat well, hydrate, don’t party too much, don’t get drunk, watch what you say. FS: There are about 18 fairs during the time of Art Basel, and none of them would be there if there was no Art Basel. A lot of people think, It’s too expensive; it’s not for me; I need to go to the fair that’s in the closet under the bridge because that’s really what I can afford. That’s a huge mistake. There’s a price range that goes from very affordable to extraordinarily expensive in Basel. You must go to Basel; it’s like not visiting the Museum of Modern Art when you’re in New York. JM: You have to dedicate a major part of your time to Basel. Maybe you go to one of these other fairs and you find a few galleries, but when you go to Basel, you find so many galleries that you may not have enough time to spend. I like some of the other fairs, don’t get me wrong, but we found over the years that spending 80 percent of our time in Basel and maybe 20 in other fairs has worked out well. Also, the Basel app will help you organize yourself. DS: A good tip for artists is that at the end of the fair, you can go up to booths and ask for catalogs. Instead of buying a catalog that is $50, go there and they will give it to you because they don’t want to ship it back to Germany. Is there any anxiety about people starting to buy more work online, or do you think the fair model is here to stay? FS: There is absolutely nothing that can replace the experience of standing in front of a work; there’s no competition. JM: I’ll have the work that I’m thinking of buying as my screensaver on my iPhone, so I’m seeing it every day. But I will not buy it until I see it in person. Once you get there, you see it—it’s a done deal. Art Basel in Miami Beach takes place December 4–7; artbasel.com/miami-beach. OD

Then the living room comes into focus. It’s like MOMA on the bay, and that’s before you visit an entire wing devoted to 20th-century giants—a room of Calders, another of Kiefers, the walls of Johns, Lichtensteins, and Warhols. Then there’s Richard Serra’s massive Blade Runner, which sits, in profound weightiness, on the lawn—the four 75-plus-ton slabs of steel monolithic enough to possibly outlast Miami itself. This is the kind of legacy art that interests Norman Braman, and he’s been savvy and successful enough to own it.

competitive person and if we would lose a game, I wouldn’t sleep for about five nights. In 1991, I really got knocked on my butt physically with some major surgery. I decided I would have to reduce the level of stress, and that was coming from owning a football team.” He sold the Eagles in 1994 for a reported $185 million— the most ever for a sports franchise at the time. The allure of art didn’t strike Braman until he was in his 40s, while he and Irma were staying at their home in southern France. “It was a visit to the Maeght Foundation in Saint-Paul de Vence,” he says. “We became friendly with Maeght, who was still living at that time. It was really our inspiration for collecting.” With no formal art education, there was a lot to learn, and their sensibilities evolved. Braman is adamant that the collection, valued at an estimated $900 million by Forbes, is the joint effort of both himself and Irma, whom he met while working at a summer camp. “Irma deserves a great deal of credit for two of our major masterpieces,” he says. “She really wanted [them] very dearly, and one in particular was an artist that I did not appreciate. One is Jasper Johns, and one is Basquiat. The Jasper Johns was purchased at a time where I wasn’t as financially secure as I am today. The Basquiat—she insisted on it, and they probably are two of our greatest works of art that we own.” Of their collecting philosophy, he says, “We’re not collectors looking at art as an investment. The key question that we ask ourselves when we look at a work of art is, ‘Does it raise the level of what we have?’ If it doesn’t meet that criteria, we’re just not interested.” Art Basel in Miami Beach has transformed Miami well beyond the December aesthetic bacchanal, setting a cultural ripple effect through everything from the food scene to real estate. Norman and Irma Braman were largely responsible for throwing the

stone that caused those ripples. After attending the Basel fair in Switzerland for years, they repeatedly asked then-Director Lorenzo Rudolf about a second fair—why not hold it in Miami? After a visit, Rudolf was convinced, and rallied the powers that be. It was not smooth sailing. September 11 caused the first fair to be cancelled, and when ABMB finally did launch, the organization had trouble convincing top galleries to attend. “I remember pressuring galleries that I did a great deal of business with, major galleries, to come to Miami. You need the Matthew Marks, the Gagosians, the David Zwirners, and they weren’t here at the beginning,” says Braman. That has clearly changed, as has Miami. As Braman sees it, quality begets legacy. “It’s not about the parties, it’s not about the glamour. It’s all about the quality of the art.” OD

Born to immigrant parents in blue-collar Philadelphia (his father was a Polish barber, his mother a Romanian seamstress), Braman had no interest in art as a young man. “My father didn’t drive a car—surviving and moving ahead was prime, not collecting art. I had a full-time job working 40 to 50 hours a week.” He was, however, a zealous Philadelphia Eagles fan, even working as a water boy at the team’s summer training camps. After graduating with a degree in business administration from Temple University, he set out on his American dream, first landing a job as an analyst with a liquor company, then cofounding Keystone Discount Stores, a vitamin retailer. When that firm merged with Philadelphia Pharmaceuticals, Braman found himself, at quite a young age, able to retire. He moved to Miami in 1969 with his wife, Irma, to whom he’s been married for 58 years, and two daughters. Part of Braman’s success is that, even at 82 years of age, he seems to have a hard time sitting still. “I had no intention of ever going back to work when I came to Miami,” he says. “I came into the car business as a passive investor.” That “retirement” ended in 1975 when he purchased a Cadillac dealership in Miami, and from there acquired a “sleepy” franchise that included BMW, Bentley, and Rolls-Royce. Today, Braman Motors’ Miami and Palm Beach outposts are ranked fifth and second, respectively, in revenue nationwide. Building and running the dealerships might have been enough for some, but in 1985, Braman had the opportunity to buy his beloved Philadelphia Eagles. “It was an emotional decision; I was sort of allowing my heart to interfere with my intelligence, but they were wonderful years,” he says. “I am a very

Life Hacks

Johanna Mi ola brings silicon Valley skills and a hockey coach-like attitude to Wyncode academy, Florida’s First coding boot camp. by stephanie dunn Johanna Mikkola isn’t afraid to play hard. The cofounder of Florida’s first and only brick-and-mortar coding boot camp was raised in Toronto by way of Helsinki, and after playing floorball (akin to hockey on a gym floor) on an international level, worked her way up the ladder at the National Hockey League. There, she became the highest-ranking female in the officiating department and spearheaded the development of a custom app that’s used to this day to train referees. In early 2014, just a few whirlwind months after Mikkola decided to pursue her dream of having a start-up, she landed in Miami to launch Wyncode Academy, the first code school licensed by the Florida Department of

180 oceandrive.com

Education’s Commission for Independent Education. Wyncode’s nine-week courses (or “cohorts,” in techie parlance) consist of 21 students culled from hundreds of applicants. Once accepted, a serious coding cram session ensues to create the next generation of developers: Monday through Friday, for upwards of 10 hours a day, students are drilled in the Web framework Ruby on Rails. Weekend attendance, while not mandatory, is “expected.” “It’s called boot camp for a reason,” Mikkola says. “If you’re not frustrated, you’re not working hard enough. The beautiful thing is when you finally have that breakthrough, and you’re like, ‘Holy shit, I get it!’” In addition to teaching coding know-how, Mikkola is resolute in equipping her students with the soft skills that will give them a professional edge. Like a coach hell-bent on a winning season, Mikkola is often found working directly alongside her students, providing one-on-one mentorship that is at once encouraging and blunt, or attending networking events to connect her pupils with the who’s who of the tech scene. Her tenacity is paying off: Wyncode’s first cohort, in May 2014, was the largest inaugural launch in all of the United States, and saw 93 percent placement of its students four weeks after the course, with most graduates entering Miami’s workforce. She’s also been invited to a roundtable tech discussion at the White House, and will continue working with the White House to advance access to accelerated learning programs. “There were boot camps in New York City and San Francisco, but it was an unproven concept here,” says Mikkola. “It turned out that Miami was not only ready, it was overwhelmingly ready. Right now, we’re on the cusp of something great, and everyone involved is playing their role in the history of tech.” 400 NW 26th St., Miami, 305-570-9767; wyncode.co OD

Off Duty How Craig Robins spends his free time around town. Where do you go for an ideal date night? “i can’t say dinner on my dock, right? We like to go to the cypress room in the design district. it’s really small and it’s great food. that and mc kitchen are our two favorites.”

“We try to make sure that the places that We’re Working With are as much about advocating, supporting, and benefiting from culture as from commerce.” —craig robins together in a powerful way. Why is art frequently a kick-starter for an up-and-coming neighborhood? I think a lot of people use the same words to mean different things. To me, what we try to do is to make sure that the places we’re working with are as much about advocating, supporting, and benefiting from culture as from commerce. In the case of the Design District, there are very extensive public art, design, and graphic design programs throughout the neighborhood. We have our Zaha Hadid installation in the Moore Building, and Marc

Newson’s fence, and there’s a ton of other spectacular projects—R. Buckminster Fuller’s fly’s eye dome, the Konstantin Grcic installation, the huge mural by John Baldessari, and a public graphic design installation with homage to the Wynwood Walls by graphic designers. When it came to retail, was there a brand that really paved the way for the Design District? First I entered into a partnership with a group called L Real Estate fund that is minority owned by LVMH. Part of the reason that L joined the partnership is because the group

knew the LVMH brands wanted to [open in the Design District]. When we announced that all the LVMH brands, including Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Céline, Marc Jacobs, Bulgari, and many others, were coming to the District, that gave us some credibility. A really big break and major validation for us was when Hermès said that it wanted to come. What’s in the future for the Design District? In June, we delivered 15 buildings for another 45 stores. We already have about 10 to 15 stores in the neighborhood, so those new buildings will add to the mix. In January or

February, we’ll start 20 more buildings for another 60 stores, and those will include a hotel and beautiful condominium tower; those stores will open at the end of 2016. By March, there will be about 45 or 50 stores open in the neighborhood, including Hermès, Cartier, Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Céline, and Tom Ford. We’ll also still have the furniture brands. The great restaurants are here like Michael’s and MC Kitchen. There’s also some really wonderful restaurants that are opening, including ABC Kitchen, my favorite restaurant in New York. miamidesigndistrict.net OD

What’s remarkable is that it’s still amazingly current for a science book written in the ’70s.”

Describe your week. My number-one rule is not to work the weekends. Monday night, I fly to Seattle. Work starts the next day at 7:30 am. I’ll shoot two days, about 100 looks a day, and I always do yoga after that. Then, I get on the next plane to LA or New York and go straight to the studio at 8 am to do two more days of work. How were you discovered? I was 13 and driving back from the beach with my brother in his bright yellow Jeep. Some crazy guy stopped us at the red light, and my parents were like, “Drive faster, don’t pull over!” He ended up being a photographer and asked if he could take my picture. I never even thought about modeling. I was a total klutz and a nerd growing up. I begged my parents, “Please let me do it. It’s like a once-ina-lifetime experience.” What’s a recent crazy story for you? I shot a music video for Keith Urban’s song “Somewhere in My Car.” There was this little old Chevy that we had to sit in [on set]. It’s a tiny car, and the whole theme [of the video] is “making out.” So it’s me, the crew, and the actor that I basically had to make out with trapped in this tiny car. It was all steamy and sweaty. It was ridiculous, but it turned out really cool, and the video looks great. The process behind it was not sexy at all. What do you do when you aren’t modeling? I love to sketch with charcoal or watercolor pencils. My mom is an amazing artist, and she always did portraits, so that’s what I’ve done since I was a kid. Are there any models you’ve met that you’ve been in total awe of? Elle Macpherson is just insanely beautiful—her hair, her skin, her smile. I met her when I was 16 and was like, “Now I definitely want to be a model because of you.” The ’90s supermodels were a whole other level of gorgeous. OD

INSIGHT Many of the jet-setting Model’s favorite things are right in her own backyard.

“I’m basically on a plane every week,” says model Gigi Paris. Such is the oft-assumed “glamorous” life of the 22-year-old Wilhelmina agency stunner, who flies 5,400 miles roundtrip to Seattle each week. And when she’s not posing for Nordstrom catalogs there, it’s Hollywood and New York for movie auditions, Esquire photo shoots, and starring in country star Keith Urban’s music video. Then there’s Macy’s, Abercrombie & Fitch, and local lingerie line Eberjey. Though the phone rings for gigs more often than not, it’s the “ringeroff” mode of Miami that Paris cherishes most.

Hanna’s Home The RelaTed GRoup’s in-house aRT diRecToR Patricia Hanna finds peace in Kendall. Outside the hustle and bustle of city life in Miami, there is a calm, rural neighborhood where Patricia Hanna, the art director for The Related Group, has for her entire life found peace and quiet. While Kendall may not exactly be the Ponderosa, to Hanna it’s worlds away from the bright lights of the big city. “I work in downtown and Brickell, and I’m in the thick of things in Wynwood, South Beach, and the Design District,” she says. “What I love most is getting home to the quiet, open streets with all the trees and no streetlights or sidewalks. It’s such a contrast to what we do all day long.” A first-generation American born to Cuban parents, Hanna grew up surrounded by family in East Kendall. Her parents, grandparents, and aunts and uncles purchased an 11-acre compound, built homes for each family, and

shared a common backyard with a pool, tennis court, and fields for the kids to enjoy. “It’s not common at all,” she says of her family’s homestead, where she stayed through high school, college, and even post-graduation. “I don’t know any other family that has done the same thing. My father and my family were really visionaries. We all used to come home from school and run through the backyard and have an instant baseball or soccer game. On holidays like Christmas Eve, we would jump from house to house, and then Christmas morning everyone would wake up, open their toys, and run outside in their pajamas to see what everyone else got.” Off the compound, the family spent time together near the water. “Anytime we continued on page 190

time to time. The Lowe Art Museum is still there, too. That’s where Hanna got her first taste of the art world—as a kid attending the Beaux Arts summer camp, and again as a college intern while attending the University of Miami. “My parents always collected, primarily modern Cuban art,” she says. “But the internship at the Lowe Art Museum during my senior year of college really solidified my decision to go into the arts and really get involved in the art community here in Miami.” Today, Hanna manages The Related Group’s corporate art collection (and Jorge Pérez’s personal collection); she also identifies art for all of Related’s projects, which oftentimes means commissioning artists to create site-specific work for individual projects, such as an outdoor sculpture, an installation in the lobby, or an exterior mural. While she’s now living off the family compound, she and her husband and their two daughters are not traveling all that far. They’re currently building a home across the street from the old compound and directly next door to Hanna’s sister. “It’s like Monopoly—we’re expanding the neighborhood,” she says. “The calm and the quiet is nostalgic, and it’s what I enjoy most. It felt like we were in our own world as kids. Now I appreciate it so much more.” OD

You name it; I love it. When we weren’t at home or in school, the idea was always to enjoy what Miami has to offer.” In town, the family traveled by bicycle to Continental Park or to the nearby canal, where Hanna would swing off a rope into the water. Then, when it was time to be studious, she’d head to the Kendall Branch Library. “I remember the old, musty-book smell of the library,” she says. “I had to go and sift through the card catalog to find a book, usually The Count of monte Cristo. Even today, it still smells the same.” Not everything is the same, according to Hanna, who attended Epiphany Catholic School. Bowling alley Don Carter’s Kendall Lanes and Riverboat Playhouse—where the kids enjoyed the arcade, shows, and “the best pizza”—are both long gone. Even the ride to school is different. “We used to stop on the way back from school at U-Pick [farm],” she says. “I take my daughters to the same school now, and the strawberry fields are developed streets of Pinecrest.” Norman Brothers Produce is still around, though.

Tennis sTar and MiaMi local Serena WilliamS serves up The ulTiMaTe run To help kids around The world have beTTer lives. by brett graff

Ultimate Run CEO Marc Wachter crossing the finish line at last year’s event with his wife and daughter.

Most of us in Miami will never get a chance to play tennis with Serena Williams. But this month, we’ll all have the opportunity to run with her. Williams— who just made history with her 18th Grand Slam title after winning the 2014 US Open—will host the Serena Williams Ultimate Run South Beach, a quarter-marathon, 6.55-mile race in which the tennis star will participate along with 3,000 locals and celebrity athletes, including elite runners from the Nike Oregon Project. Proceeds will benefit the Serena Williams Foundation, which is aimed at helping youth all over the world. The foundation’s efforts are two-fold: First, it provides financial support to kids whose families are affected by violent crimes (Williams’s own half-sister was killed by a gunshot in 2003). The tennis player now raises money for families working to rebuild from tragedy, helping them secure counseling,

“MiaMi is hoMe to Me, so of course i’M excited to host the event here.”

daycare, housing, food, and education. “It is the hope of the Serena Williams Foundation to continue to [bring about] change in the lives of children who have been negatively affected by violence in the US,” says Williams. The foundation also has helped build schools in Kenya and strives to provide educational opportunities to kids both around the globe and in the United States. Through granting scholarships, it funds the scholastic endeavors of deserving high school students for college, job training, and entrepreneurship. “Over the past five years, we have helped fund the construction of two schools with a goal to assist underprivileged kids in receiving the highest quality of education available to them,” says the tennis star. The race’s philanthropic intent drew the involvement of Miami Beach financial advisor Michael Rose, who sits on a variety of high-profile boards and is often credited with orchestrating the kind of partnerships and programs that buoy the South Florida community. Rose—whose charity work has included the Mourning Family Foundation and Make-A-Wish Foundation—is a frequent consultant to Williams on a variety of projects. After discussing with her the goal of organizing a race that would combine the tennis player’s athletic and altruistic interests, he, along with Marc Wachter, the CEO/ continued on page 194

I want to give a lot of my time and have a big impact.” “December is beautiful in Miami, and I thought that it would be a great time to bring everyone out for a great running experience,” says Williams. “I have lived in Florida for the majority of my life. Miami is home to me, so of course I’m excited to host the event here.” The city’s classic architecture will provide the scenic backdrop—from the Art Deco buildings, chic lounges, and patio cafés to the rippling waves of the Atlantic Ocean and the towering palm trees lining it all.

It concludes on Sunday night with a karaoke event at the Clevelander. “Maybe it’s the nice weather, but everyone is so friendly,” says Williams. “Living in such a beautiful place encourages people to get outside and be active.” And it would seem that her long list of high-profile sponsors could not agree more. Even from the outset, national brands have lined up to support the event. Nike will be providing runners with hightech fit shirts, while Gatorade, Delta, Beats by Dre, and Mission Athletecare signed on for the chance to get their names in front of Miami Beach runners— both practiced and first-timers. “You don’t have to be a professional runner to participate,” says Williams. “If you are a veteran runner trying to set a personal record, that is great!

Celebrating her 42nd birthday, Being Mary Jane star Gabrielle Union opted to share the spotlight and show support for husband and Miami Heat player Dwyane Wade during the team’s season opener against the Washington Wizards. Union cheered alongside friends and fellow Heat wives as the team went on to beat the Wizards 107–95. Fellow basketball wives Adrienne Bosh and Natasha Fizdale joined Union before the victorious finish as she strolled over to Hyde AmericanAirlines Arena during halftime for an intimate celebration. The actress was surprised with a birthday cake in her favorite flavor, red velvet, which she ate while sipping on a few glasses of Moët. Union looked stylish and comfortable all night, wearing a chic black leather skirt and white Beautiful Dreamer Savasana pullover by yogainspired clothing line Spiritual Gangster. Following the opening night triumph, Wade joined the birthday girl for dinner at Honky-Tonk, where singer and friend Monica Brown stopped by and Instagramed some fun cake-filled moments. Brown was not the only one showing Union some love on social media. Wade also gave a shout-out to his wife on Instagram that night, posting, “Happy birthday to this lady right here. I love that you walk to the beat of your own drum. Keep living your life your way.… We love you!”

When Iron Meets sand

With his neW south Beach iteration, Masaharu MoriMoto strikes a delicious Balance BetWeen tradition, experimentation, and Whimsy. by jordan melnick

On an unassuming balmy weeknight, deep within the newly renovated Shelborne Wyndham Grand, South Beach’s restaurant scene has reached its apex. The setting is New York transplant Morimoto, where iron chef dominator Masaharu Morimoto’s expertly prepared plates pass among leggy models and famous DJs to the sound of untz-untz—a new context for the Iron Chef’s soul-satisfying food. But then you experience a piece of chu-toro (medium fatty tuna), shipped from Tokyo’s unmatched Tsukiji Fish Market within the last 48 hours, and for a brief moment you taste nirvana. Almost porcine in its glorious pink perfection, this is not a fish you chew and swallow—it just disappears in your

so—but not all of the food at Morimoto is so precious. And that’s a good thing. The noodle bowls offer a hearty counterweight to the daintier dishes. The South Beach Chilled Noodle—cold, thick, nutty, served with a spoonful of pork sauce and drizzled with garlic chili oil—is especially good. Then there’s the unexpected uni carbonara, a JapaneseItalian fusion that features a piece of urchin and a raw quail egg atop a creamy bed of udon noodles. It’s one whimsical dish among several that Morimoto uses to break down his guests’ dietary reservations. “Playfulness is a key element in making a dish approachable,” he says. “Uni is not an ingredient that is very common or familiar to all guests. By the use of a

familiar name (carbonara) and a common ingredient like noodles, it makes the dish more familiar and inviting. Since Japanese food can sometimes be considered too exotic or foreign, it is important that I take this approach without sticking to the traditions.” You get a hint of this approach just by browsing the menu, which includes such agreeable dish titles as tuna pizza and Duck Duck Duck. But when you taste the food, whether it’s an appetizer like the hamachi tacos or an entrée like the braised black cod in a ginger-soy reduction, you know Morimoto and his staff of focused cooks aren’t playing around. It’s this impeccable balance—between tradition and experimentation, quality and whimsy—that has made

“Playfulness is a key element in making a dish aPProachable.” —masaharu morimoto

Morimoto one of the most recognized chefs in the world. Opening a location in Miami has always been in the plan, he says, so when a poolside space became available at the recently renovated Shelborne, he seized the opportunity. “Aligning myself with a hotel that has a deep-rooted legacy was important to me,” he says of the midcentury Art Deco landmark. “The new renovation of the entire resort is beautiful, combining elements of the original with modern-day design. This is similar to my cuisine, which combines traditional and

modern flavors and techniques.” While the menu does feature Miami-inspired offerings, including a lobster, conch, and white fish ceviche, it’s mostly signature Morimoto dishes. Sometimes that signature can be hard to detect, for example, with a raw piece of fish served on a humble bed of rice. And sometimes that’s where you’ll experience a taste of culinary bliss.

mouth, like a dream you desperately want to retrieve. Millions of Food Network fans have seen Morimoto vanquish culinary competitors on Iron Chef America. With the Japanese flag proudly pressed on one sleeve, he may be the most intimidating of the Iron Chefs, perhaps because masterfully prepared Japanese food seems to command more reverence than almost any other cuisine. And it doesn’t hurt that viewers hear Chef Morimoto through a translator, adding to his air of gustatory godliness. At his South Beach outpost, the sashimi is divine—the Morimoto Sashimi Terrine, a bite-size stack of seared chu-toro, smoked salmon, eel, tuna, and hamachi, is decadently

While the focus is primarily on the art, everyone has to eat. To that end, snagging a seat at Design District mainstays such as Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink, MC Kitchen, or Mandolin Aegean Bistro will be like trying to get into one of Art Basel’s many invite-only soirées—impossible. All hope is not lost, however. Since last year’s

Here, we take a look at what’s new in food on the artsy blocks from Wynwood to the Design District.

Try the Shanghai chicken salad with napa cabbage, peanuts, crisp wontons, and ginger hoisin dressing.

ZAk the BAker In between gallery and tent hopping, make sure to drop by Zak the Baker, a bakery-cum-café. They make the bread right there, and top it with ingredients such as beets and feta, avocado and ricotta, or Paradise Farms honey butter. Zak Stern and his pastry chefs and bakers will be working around the clock, staying open late during Art Basel. “It’s possible that we’ll do 24-hour days for that week,” says Stern. “We’re bulking up to make sure we can handle the swarms of people.” 405 NW 26th St., Miami, 786-280-0327; zakthebaker.com

Casual kuSh Amid all of Wynwood’s new breweries, Kush is pouring plenty of the town’s best craft beers in the city. Its ballyhooed burgers include the Frita, with guava jelly, melted Gruyère, and bacon; and the Johnny Utah, with pastrami, diced onion, and cheddar. New additions include Florida alligator bites and Bahamian conch salad. “Art Basel is going to be interesting,” says owner Matt Kuscher. “We are definitely going to have to turn people away.” Luckily, there might just be a secret botanica where you can wait next door (or so we’re told). 2003 N.

taste Cheers! Area 31’s eggnog combines elements of the drink’s Cuban and Puerto Rican renditions for a flavor that’s uniquely Miami.

Holiday Spirit(s) AreA 31’s eggless, rum-spiked, and chilled “caribbean” eggnog is as unorthodox as miami’s sultry winters. by carla torres

Coquito, crema de vie, eggnog—regardless of its appellation, the ubiquitous holiday beverage made of whipped eggs, milk, a spice or two, and spirits, has many iterations. At Area 31, head bartender Dean Feddaoui takes eggs out of the equation and uses Miami’s proximity to the Caribbean as an invitation to get creative. The result? A cool seasonal cocktail worth celebrating. As a native of North Africa, Feddaoui never had eggnog as a kid. “When I moved to New York, it was the go-to drink during snow storms,” he remembers. “But here, we don’t have that.” Instead, Feddaoui has taken cues from Puerto Rico’s and Cuba’s renditions of the holiday classic and borrowed elements from

both the coquito and crema de vie to make the traditional drink Miami-appropriate. Shellback Rum from Barbados puts out an 80-proof silver rum that hits high notes of vanilla, which Feddaoui magnifies by splitting five Tahitian vanilla beans and letting them soak in the bottle overnight. “What goes better with South Florida’s Latin community than coconut?” asks Feddaoui. He replaces traditional egg with coconut cream and coconut oil, along with condensed and evaporated milk, and some house-made dulce de leche. He heats the ingredients together, then seasons with nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and star anise. The mix is refrigerated overnight, giving the flavors a chance to blend. Feddaoui pours the rum over ice, then adds the Caribbean mix and stirs it all up into a creamy comfort drink. Next, he uses a whipper filled with coquito and liquid nitrogen, and garnishes the drink with a dollop of foam that’s something akin to coconut and dulce de leche whipped cream. A pinch of ground cinnamon and nutmeg, along with shaved toasted coconut, acts as the cherry on top of this holiday treat. The first sip can pack a punch, before the ice softens the experience. From there, the drink gets increasingly gentle and sweet. “Makes you feel like the holidays are happening in Miami, doesn’t it?” says Feddaoui. 270 Biscayne Blvd. Way, Miami, 305-424-5234; area31 restaurant.com OD

This is just one of many species of

exquisite fish that he’s been handling these days. Chef Lane has been away from home for some time, having worked at Four Seasons Hotels in Dallas, New Orleans, Chicago, and New York over the past decade. Apparently you can take the boy out of Kansas City, but you can’t take away his love of smoke. One of the best-selling items at Traymore is swordfish on cedar plank.

taste the Dish THE SOURCE Lane cites freshness as a pivotal menu factor. “We’re not like some other Miami restaurants, where all you see is branzino,” he says. “It’s a great fish, but we’ve got equally great product right here.” The thick square of swordfish he is currently grilling, for instance, swam in local Florida waters. During summer months, some of the catch will come from farther north, but the chef will only cast his line so far. “At Le Bernardin, Eric Ripert decided right from the start to never serve fish that isn’t from North America. I think that’s the right philosophy.”

THE PREPAR ATION “I like the meatiness, the texture of it,” Lane says of the swordfish, while placing a puree of caramelized baby eggplant laced with garlic and herbs into a pan to heat (he stealthily slips in a small slab of butter, as one might sneak candy to a kid while Mom is looking away). Next, he quickly flicks a water-soaked cedar plank onto the grill. In a second pan, Lane browns butter for a “nutty flavor,” and in rapid succession pops in piquillo peppers, capers, and toasted pine nuts. “Nothing heavy sauce-wise. It’s more like a relish. I want to keep it real light,” he says. Once the edges of the cedar round are

THE RESULTS “At the table, when the waiter uncovers the fish, you get the aroma of the cedar smoke rising— I’ve always loved food with a smoky f lavor. It has an impact on people. It permeates memories somehow,” says Lane. As cedar vapors waft through the air, the server transfers the fish onto a pool of eggplant puree that centers a pre-arranged plate. Piled alongside is a combo of peppery rocket leaves and shaved fennel cleanly dressed with Hacienda Guzmán extra-virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice. The salad’s bracing acidity slices through the soft cedar smokiness; salty capers and tangy eggplant serve as contrast for the inherently sweet swordfish; piquillo peppers and buttery pine nuts complement it. This colorful aquatic presentation brightly declares: We’re not in Kansas anymore. 2445 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, 305-695-3600; comohotels.com/metropolitanmiamibeach OD

how does the environment and physicality of Miami affect your work? Brandon Opalka: For me, I’ve been interested in the history, to go back as far as the Native Americans that lived along this river. [I’m interested in] how their souls could be present in this modern society now, how we’re building all this architecture on sacred Indian land. So I’ve been feeling, as an artist, how I can put myself in their shoes. reed van Brunschot: I grew up in Miami and went away for 10 years to Amsterdam and came back. There was culture shock, for instance, the use of plastic bags that creeps into my work. Yet South Florida [has] some of the best sunsets and skies

And the fried oysters—I love them raw, since working with Mignonette [a seafood restaurant that commissioned her work], but it’s nice to have them fried, too, to just pop in your mouth. Since we’re talking fried food, Brandon, let’s talk about your art installation Janigans, in which you actually served fried food. BO: Growing up down here, my mother always took me to dive bars. I had this idea of making an installation inspired by this dive bar [Flanigan’s], and named it after my mother, Janice. It was an homage to her.

Oreos, fried cheese. I think people had a good time and forgot they were in an arts experience. Reed, what about the piece you did for Mignonette? RVB: The restaurant wanted an arch, but I found these things called hyperbolic paraboloids—shapes formed by lines, and by the way that the lines are shaped, without bending them, they create curves. And I like that contradiction—the illusion of curves without having to bend. So I created these structures out of copper, which will patina. Brandon, does your research on place play into the work you’ll have up at Emerson Dorsch this month?

246 oceandrive.com

BO: I’m making a cave. You’ll crawl through 30 feet. It’s less about making something that works in your house, and more about something enjoyable that inspires people. Werner Herzog’s cave of forgotten dreams also plays into it. I was like, “Wow, we’ve been painting for 30,000 years and this is where we’re at? Jeff Koons?” There’ll also be a Neanderthal reciting Neil deGrasse Tyson’s show the Inexplicable universe. Reed, what will you have up during Basel week? RVB: I’m working with Primary Projects in a group show called the “International Friendship Exhibition,” and it’s based on where North Korea houses all the gifts that

[foreign] diplomats give to the government, like, “Oh, look how much the world loves us.” [The exhibit] is an exercise in contradictions, since that’s very much what’s happening there—this contradiction of blatant lies and propaganda. I’m making a ride with stair-lift chairs used to help old people. I can’t reveal too much. It’s a ride where you’re supported but not supported. How has Basel affected art commerce for you? RVB: I had a show last year at the Freehand, and I met a curator from Brazil and ended up doing a show there. The art scene here casts a wider net now.

show and discovering you… [Shrugs] It’s great to have the fair, but I don’t think the huge collectors get off the beach. RVB: There are a few different worlds going on. There’s the gallerist and the collectors, then there’s the smaller curators doing more experimental things, and the onlookers. Every once in a while, you have some good luck. And it’s about everybody that circles around this giant machine. It’s done great things for Miami—art programs, residencies, more education with contemporary art, driving more people to move here, to come back, like myself. the conch steak entrée arrives. RVB: I’ve had conch fritters but never steak.

BO: I love conch. Why not have it in a steak form? If they had a conch dessert, I would try it. It’s the right amount of fishiness. I play with conch in the bay, on sandbars. You know, one thing about being here is that with all the stress of living in a city, we have the beach and can always go. There’s a chemical in the salt water that helps refresh your mind.

MIAMI SMO ERS URBAN SMO EHOUSE TAKES ITS ALL-NATURAL CHARCUTERIE FROM WHOLESALE TO RETAIL. BY CARLA TORRES Longtime friends and Miami natives Andres Barrientos and James Bowers have a lot in common. Former chefs and lovers of swine, the duo behind the new Miami Smokers Urban Smokehouse traded in their chef whites for butcher aprons and the title of smoke whisperers two years ago, bringing their all-natural, humanely raised and heritage breed pork bellies to notable dining destinations all through Miami. Odds are that you’ve bitten into their bacon at Michael Mina 74, Blue Collar, or Eating House. Now you can get a taste of their sustainable smoked, dried, and cured charcuterie in many shapes, sizes, and forms—from sausage and salami to loins and chops—inhouse and straight from their new digs in Little Havana. 306 NW 27th Ave., Miami, 305-989-8848; miamismokers.com

In 1971, Felipe Valls Sr. founded Versailles and introduced the ventanita to the Magic City. Now his daughter Nicole is capturing everything he’s built in The Versailles Restaurant Cookbook ($30), a 192-page recipe book loaded with dishes from the Calle Ocho institution. Written in collaboration with celebrity chef Ana Quincoces, the hardcover tome provides amateur cooks with the recipes for popular dishes, including cafecito, pastelitos, and the famed Cuban sandwich.

rysten Ritter dreams big. Raised on a cow and chicken farm in picture-postcard bucolic Pennsylvania, where she was bullied for her looks by classmates in school, she left the small-town life to pursue her own larger-than-life passions—first on the catwalks of New York, after being scouted at age 15, and soon after on the silver screens of Hollywood. She’s been in some 25 movies to date, and more than a dozen TV shows, and helms her own production company, Silent Machine. Her biggest break came courtesy of season two of Breaking Bad, where she stole Jesse Pinkman’s heart and crushed it after her character overdoses (as Walter White looked on, passively, letting her die). It was a pivotal point in the show—and in Ritter’s career. “I binged the first seven episodes in one day and thought, I want to be on it, and I don’t care if anybody sees it. Trusting your instincts like that is a great lesson, because when you listen to your gut, you can’t go wrong.”

266 oceandrive.com

Throughout her journey, Ritter, 32, has gone with her gut, but she’s also taken to keeping her eyes firmly on her goals, literally, with a massive vision board that charts her wishes and future successes. “I have a giant one at all times, with projects that I’m working on and in development,” she says. Currently it hangs in the middle of her dining room in plain sight for anyone who enters her clean, minimal Hollywood home. And it’s not just about her professional life: “I also have a note for myself to do more charity work. I want to be doing good things in addition to developing TV shows and acting,” says Ritter. “I want to have a big life. I also have pictures of my girlfriends on it. For me, the things that are most important in life are feeling good, having important relationships and deep meaningful friendships, and going after work that I love, and creating work that I love.” This month, she can remove one of those key photos from the board: director Tim Burton, who’s had a prominent place on there for as long as she’s been acting. She finally got the chance to take his direction in Burton’s latest film, Big Eyes,

which tells the fascinating story behind Margaret Keane’s iconic paintings (those ubiquitous posters of the soulful, otherworldly young children with the oversize, melancholic eyes). “For years, I kept bugging my manager and agent: When can I work with Tim Burton? When can I work with Tim Burton?” she says. “I was a huge fan of all of his movies growing up even before I knew what acting was or that you could make a [living] as an actress.” In Big Eyes, Ritter also realized another dream: working with her favorite actress, Amy Adams, who stars as painter Margaret Keane. “I was just in awe of her abilities; her acting is like jazz, it’s all just mesmerizing.” Ritter plays the role of the tell-it-like-it-is best girlfriend in the film, much as she does in real life. “She’s an empowering character,” she says of her role as DeeAnn. “Especially at a time where women didn’t really have a voice—as perfectly depicted in the movie—I like that my character wasn’t afraid to say what she thought.

true creative spirit who acts, writes, produces, sings, paints, spins pottery, and is “really into making things with my hands,” Ritter is excited to be in the thick of the explosion of art and ideas at Art Basel in Miami Beach this month. The last time she was in town, it was for a Jay Z concert, and she can’t wait to come back to luxuriate in the city’s famed balmy climate. “I’m always so enchanted by tropical vacations and the Caribbean, so it was a thrill to discover that’s accessible somewhere here in the [continental] United States,” she says, recalling her very first trip to the Magic City, when she and a girlfriend club-hopped around South Beach, hitting the likes of Nikki Beach.

black tank—“what else is new?” she cracks—the perfect complement to her trademark obsidian bangs. Of her fashion sense, she says, “You get to choose how the world sees you every day by putting on your clothes. I like to be a little rock ’n’ roll, but feminine and comfortable. I’ll wear rock ’n’ roll boots, a cute little dress, and a leather jacket if the weather requires it.”

s befitting her attire, Ritter is a rocker at heart: She is essentially a one-woman band, recording and playing under the moniker Ex Vivian, with production help from a pal. The new songs she’s been writing recently she describes as “cutesy and dark and girly... I’m happiest when I’m playing guitar and writing and expressing myself in that creative way—it’s a great detox from the grind of Hollywood for me.” Music runs in her blood. Growing up, her dad played guitar, her grandmother played piano, and Ritter sang in the church choir. “And I’ve always dated

musicians, even in high school,” she reports. She still does: Her current boyfriend is indie rock star War On Drugs’ Adam Granduciel. “He’s my favorite artist,” she raves. He also sounds like a great, attentive boyfriend: Several bouquets of wildflowers and roses dotted around her home are all gifts from Granduciel. Their relationship couldn’t be more different from the sparring husband-andwife artists in Big Eyes (Keane’s husband exploits and falsely takes credit for Margaret’s work as the paintings become an overnight sensation). For Ritter and Granduciel, the partnership is about championing one another’s creative selves, and having fun with expression. “He’s incredibly supportive and encouraging,” she says. “We played guitar together for a bit yesterday before he left on tour. He taught me a scale that I’m going to practice a bunch and try to blow his mind when he gets back.” Until then, she’s got her other big love to keep her company: her rescue pup, Mikey. “Tomorrow is his three-year anniversary with me. It’s incredible what this

dog has done for me as a woman and as an adult, in grounding me. He used to bite people, and he was fearful and obviously abused. He’d been hit by a car when I got him, and now he’s a great dog. He goes with me everywhere, and he’s so well trained. When my friends come over, instead of trying to bite them, he’s happy to see them. He is a poster dog for rescuing and adoption.”

he’s a vocal and passionate activist for animal adoption, as evidenced by her “Opt to Adopt” campaign with PETA. “Nobody should be buying a dog when 3 to 4 million dogs are euthanized every year in the most awful, inhumane ways. These are emotional, intelligent creatures,” she reasons. “If everybody chooses to adopt, we can change the world.” A woman who now exudes an empowerment that seems solid and earned, Ritter had to navigate some particularly rough days as a teen. “When I became a model, it gave me some self-esteem and a place to belong. Up until then, my home life was a little rocky and the kids at school would totally pick on me, and then when I became a model, it almost got worse.” “You have to rise above it and burn bright. You can’t let other people’s issues destroy you or put your fire out, as cheesy as that sounds,” she says. “That was almost like boot camp for Hollywood, because you really have to let it slide off your back in Hollywood. With the Internet, people say horrible things about you, and you can’t let it affect you. If you worry about what other people are saying, then you’re not going to have the energy or the time or confidence to do all of the fabulous things that you can do.” She’s long since learned how to endure the ups and downs of the business and the extreme invasiveness that comes hand in hand with being in the spotlight. Today, yoga keeps her grounded, as does her creative work—be that music, acting, or writing/producing—and taking the time to cultivate deep friendships with a close crew of like-minded, fierce, self-made women who’ve all adopted rescue pups. Of her resolve, she says, “I am an incredibly resilient fighter. I trust that there will always be ups and downs, and I trust that we’re on a roller coaster, and I don’t have to get off the roller coaster. I get to keep going.” OD

ow times have changed. Back in 1982, I was walked to the roof of the old Senator Hotel by a seer. In the distance was the Atlantic in mid-morning reverie. Just below, though, was the slow-moving Ocean Drive foot traffic of the retired Northerners who’d made South Florida an easy punch line. But my guide, the legendary preservationist Barbara Capitman, saw something else: She rhapsodized about a place that would become a sizzling metropolis, a place of the chicest hotels, finest restaurants, and “most exclusive shops.” I remember thinking—as a lot of other non-visionaries did at the time—Don’t hold your breath. It seems Capitman, from her plush Art Deco armchair in the heavens, is having the last laugh. The metropolitan area’s well-documented arrival as an urban global player has brought the requisite upgrades to the local cultural, nightlife, and real-estate scenes.

Lending verve to the Brickell financial district, the billion-dollar complex has snagged the posh Saks Fifth Avenue, sure to flood the Brickell Avenue sidewalks with “hers” Louboutin heels and “his” Gucci loafers.

Starting with Bulgari, slated for its opening this month, doors are scheduled to swing open next year at Christian Dior, Harry Winston, and Hermès, to name only a few. “By 2016, the Design District will boast over 100 international high-end retailers,” says real estate developer Craig Robins, a signal force in the district’s high-fashion ascent. It’s a far cry from the perfunctory up-market offerings that once would have been more than adequate for a city the size and makeup of Miami. Not anymore. Today’s bilingual and multilingual retail cognoscenti can spot a Vuitton knockoff a mile away. Just as they look for certain vintages where they dine, particular menu offerings at their spas, and, of course, spectacular ocean views in their local high-rise homes, so, too, do they expect—some would say demand— only the finest from a shopping experience. For nearly a half century, that experience has been the purview of the Bal Harbour Shops. With its koi-stocked ponds and exotic plants, the complex carved out a place in the hearts of everyone from the region’s old guard to its heady, English-as-a-second-language arrivistes. As longtime resident and public relations maven Amy Zakarin says, “It’s of the region. It’s authentic; it belongs in and to Miami.” Though the city has hardly outgrown the subtropical sophistication that has been a Bal Harbour signature, the rise of downtown and its new

YES, ICON: Bernard Zyscovich, Bal Harbour Shops In its version of a mission statement, Zyscovich Architects trumpets the importance of “a sensibility to the deﬁning cultural characteristics of the community.” Those are reassuring words to customers who, over time, have formed an almost proprietary relationship with Bal Harbour Shops. Still, architect Bernard Zyscovich, founder

and CEO of the ﬁrm bearing his name, knows the scrutiny he’ll receive as he expands the shopping icon, which turns 50 in 2015. Yet, it’s the breadth of Zyscovich’s knowledge of cities worldwide that comes into play as the architect reimagines a local jewel. “Its consumer is, by deﬁnition, global and sophisticated,” he says. “In our research,

aside from the highest-quality fashion offerings available in the world, we also found that people like to leisurely stroll and take in the natural ambience that is unique to the Bal Harbour Shops.” The already-bustling dining scene, too, will be buttressed, as Hillstone at Bal Harbour Shops vies for hungry luxury hunters.

A WHOLE NEW “WORLD”: Nitin Motwani, Miami Worldcenter There’s an almost boyish excitement in Nitin Motwani’s voice as he describes a complex that will take Miami one step closer to its all-but-fated place in the luxury-shopping galaxy. But then, with the revitalization of downtown a year-round consuming passion, Motwani is understandably jubilant to be at the top of the team breathing life into Miami Worldcenter. “What’s really exciting is it’s not just us thinking it, it’s actually doing it,” says Motwani, managing principal of the center’s developer, as well as economic-development

inhabitants inevitably has affected the where and how (and how-much) of shopping. The residents of towers on and off of Brickell Avenue may like their Porsches and Mercedeses, but many of them—relatively young, physically fit, and, perhaps most important, at ease on the sidewalks of New York, Paris, and Buenos Aires—don’t want to be fulltime slaves to internal combustion engines. Alicia Cervera Lamadrid, managing partner of Cervera Real Estate, sensed this shift coming several years ago when she stood on the sidewalk waiting for a Brickell light to change. “I looked around, and there were 10 other people,” she recalls with a laugh. “It used to be I was always alone. Now, of course, with all the new buildings, there are joggers and strollers—you name it.” Not that the international influx and the top-tier hotels catering to it hadn’t already had an impact on the number of designer names found in such places as the Design District. “Every time I’m in New York now, I say, ‘I can get that in Miami,’” says Zakarin. “I don’t know anyone who takes trips to New York just for shopping anymore.” Indeed, with stores like Barneys taking up occupancy at the Bal Harbour Shops, other Manhattan mainstays are poised to become Miami staples, as well.

and marketing chair of the Downtown Development Authority. “It’s truly a humbling experience. I spend a lot of time focused on downtown, following the lead of so many proliﬁc developers.” Among the things he’s learned from their example is the three R’s of urban viability: residents, restaurants, retail. His 27-acre Worldcenter will include all three. “The parks and sidewalks and how connected things will be to the cultural institutions—people will be amazed at how well it’s all been integrated.”

ut the developers of Miami’s billion-dollar, superluxe emporia emphasize that the additions to the retail cityscape won’t simply be cookie-cutter, glass-and-steel structures. Christopher Gandolfo, vice president of development for Swire Properties, the developer of Brickell City Centre, for example, is looking forward to the day when mall designers from around the world come to study the center’s exclusive climate-control system. For his part, Nitin Motwani, Miami Worldcenter’s managing principal and also the economic-development and marketing chair of the Miami Downtown Development Authority, revels in the idea of the complex “acting as a connector of downtown,” with its Metromover access: “We’re designing with the area in mind.” Attention to what makes Miami Miami is paramount for Bernard Zyscovich, who emphasizes that in updating and expanding Bal Harbour Shops, he and his team have “carefully taken into consideration type, scale, location, and character enhancements to this world-class retail destination.” Whether taking their cues from a luxury-shopping pioneer or creating one for another generation, the players who order up scaffolding and give the commands for more cranes to soar over the skyline

THE ART OF LUXURY: Craig Robins, Miami Design District

Design District: By 2016, Miami’s most design-progressive neighborhood will welcome 100 of the world’s most prestigious luxury labels.

are confident their timing is right. Debora Overholt, senior director of leasing for Brickell City Centre, points to the “solid” forces informing the current retail explosion. Those forces include new and potential homes rising into the sky such as SLS Lux and Brickell Heights; thriving after-office-hours activity at hot spots such as Cantina La Veinte and Segafredo; and top-tier hotels popping up in places once ghostly beyond 6 PM. As for concerns that the cavalcade of retailers in the pipeline could create a glut, Overholt counters, “As the saying goes, a rising tide lifts all boats.” What all the “boats” will have to offer today’s seen-itall consumers is what stakeholders in the new retail developments frequently—or, more to the point, incessantly—refer to as the “total shopping experience.” In other words, there is a certain cachet to trading at, say, Dolce & Gabbana along the fashionable Avenue Montaigne or Fendi in the stratospheric reaches of Madison Avenue. As Craig Robins observes, “Seasoned international visitors and part-time residents from around the world have high expectations in regards to fashion and cultural destinations.” To help meet those elevated expectations, Miami’s

power brokers have had to dig as deeply into their imaginations as into their pockets. The results have been by turns innovative and responsive to the changing rhythms of life in the metropolitan area.

evelopers of the sprawling Miami Worldcenter, for example, assert that it will be one of the nation’s largest private mixed-use construction projects. Encompassing 10 downtown blocks, it will help link up the Central Business District with the increasingly vibrant Arts & Entertainment District. “The magic of making Worldcenter is that—unlike other projects where people have worked with existing properties—we’re starting from scratch,” says Motwani. “We’re taking a lot of time to make sure we get it right.” Bal Harbour Shops has indisputably gotten it right from its debut in 1965. Patrons enjoy the ambler-friendly scale of this elegant arboretum-style complex and its reputation for quality service. So the pressure is on for the Zyscovich Architects firm as it devises the expansion of the venerable retail destination. “Our team’s proposed vision calls for enhancing its current lush,

It’s tough to think about the Miami Design District without the name Craig Robins coming to mind. Yes, he’s the visionary who spotted the potential for greatness in what was once a lackluster neighborhood north of downtown. But he’s also continued a stewardship now deﬁned by the pending arrival of scores of world-renowned designers over the next two years. The CEO and president of his own company, Dacra, Robins is reshaping the Design District’s image in the way he did that of the Art Deco District. The perception of the former took a leap toward the big time when designers under the sterling LVMH umbrella—including Vuitton and Dior—decided the time was right to be part of the Design District’s simmering—if not yet sizzling— urban frontier. “We’ve been able to become a solid world-luxury retail destination,” says Robins, “and our focus is to solidify that.” Always impeccably turned out, Robins embodies the fashionable sensibility that has become the Design District’s identity. Leading retailers, he says, “have recognized that the neighborhood has taken on an interesting character—urban, authentic, sophisticated, and culturally engaged. In the past two years, we have welcomed Cartier, Céline, Prada, and [others] to the district, and there will be numerous additional brands launching in 2015,” including Tod’s and Miu Miu. From what Robins describes as a “nexus of commerce, creativity, and multiculturalism,” he contends a “Miami point of view” has emerged: “There’s a clear appreciation of quality, graciousness, and craft.”

tropical landscaping and beautiful walkways and lighting,” says Bernard Zyscovich. With that third anchor store— added to stalwarts Neiman Marcus and Saks—and several boutiques in the works, a new pedestrian-welcoming façade will help maintain its manageability. If preserving a treasure is part of the Bal Harbour plan, creating one is on Swire Properties’ agenda with Brickell City Centre. As part of the emphasis on “experiencing” a visit to its sprawling shopping and entertainment space, the center will herald the US appearance of Mexico’s fine-dining cinema chain, Cinemex. Movie night there will include the cuisine of chef Mikel Alonso of Mexico City’s prized Biko restaurant. Discerning international shoppers are likely to feel at home among the public spaces and art that have secured the Miami Design District’s place on the must-experience map. The 100 international designers set to open doors in this hip enclave over the next 12 months or so include Tom Ford, Piaget, Valentino, and Zegna. But the prevailing image of money-to-burn consumerism in the city’s throbbing heart—even as lunch mates at db Bistro chat about a new residential tower with a reported dozen-plus billionaires moving in—doesn’t always match reality. It’s not that simple, says Brickell City Centre’s Christopher Gandolfo. The savvy international consumer, Gandolfo contends, “is looking for value, not necessarily to throw away disposable income.” The value of keeping pace with the region’s seismic demographic shifts surely won’t be lost on such established players as Dadeland, Aventura Mall and, more recently, the Village of Merrick Park, in their own quests for a slice of Miami’s ever-more sophisticated residents and visitors. As philanthropist and inveterate shopper Yolanda Berkowitz muses, “Luxury consumers seek out the products they want, [so] all the players will have to step up their game. It’s win-win for everyone involved.” And if the luxury-shopping boom hoists Miami into the pantheon that already includes the likes of Paris and New York, well, as Berkowitz enthuses, “Yay for us!” OD

BUYER, BE THERE: Debora Overholt, Brickell City Centre When Debora Overholt moved from Washington, DC, to Miami in 1999 to manage Dadeland Mall, she thought she’d be returning to the nation’s capital in a matter of a few years. “Back then,” she says, “it wasn’t easy to ﬁnd someone in the organization to transfer to Miami.” Not anymore. Today, as the new Brickell City Centre’s senior

director of leasing for retail, Overholt has a new attitude about a community she’s come to see as her home, bringing just the right mix of retail to the groundbreaking shopping complex. It helps that Brickell City Centre will be anchored by Saks Fifth Avenue. “One of the things I observed when I worked with Saks at Dadeland was how well it

served the Latin American market,” she says. The intelligence gleaned from her 15 years in South Florida tells Overholt that “in Miami, the consumer is more interested in the brand; there isn’t as much attention to the price of an item.” Still, she cautions, “You can’t just open your doors and expect people to walk in.”

T Everyone wants in on the art game—old guard, new guard, fippers, bon vivants. That means the rules are changing, for better and worse.

o understand the tumult in the world of art collecting today, take a look at @StefanSimchowitz on Instagram. The LA-based media provocateur, a self-described “cultural entrepreneur,” is the most visible, vilified, and valorized art flipper, a new breed of collectors who use social media, lots of cash, and a network of like-minded friends to juggle the price of young artists’ works upwards, close to the collapsing point. Richard Massey, a Miami-based collector, jokes that Simchowitz and company have stirred up such ire because the brashly public deal-making chafes against “the WASP mores that have ruled the business for decades.” True or not, those mores are fading. Dealers are losing control of their artists’ markets. Curators and critics are no longer the gatekeepers. The next generation of collector, armed with viral media skills and cash to boot, is changing the art world, perhaps for good. “Now everybody wants to be a collector. If you have three pieces, you are a collector. If you have five, you can open a warehouse,” muses Martin Z. Margulies, who, by contrast, presides over both a 45,000-square-foot art warehouse space in Wynwood and a penthouse collection that looks like the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Modern wing. “We’ve seen an amazing acceleration,” he says, pointing out the exponential growth in all corners of the art world.

“We live on the 31st floor, so cr anes are not an option. the elevator becomes the gatekeeper.” —jack benmeleh Last year, 75,000 people visited Art Basel in Miami Beach, the event that spawned 19 satellite fairs around town. If you tally all the fairs of Art Week, Miami saw more than $3 billion worth of art. But how to navigate this world, how to rub elbows without stepping on toes? Here are some pointers from the best in the business.

DO YOUR HOMEWORK For many, collecting is just an excuse to learn about art. Don and Mera Rubell collect both art and books on art. With upwards of 40,000 volumes, the Rubell Family Collection’s library in Wynwood speaks to the wealth of knowledge (and time spent) behind one of the country’s best private collections. Research ensures a balanced, relevant collection, and is sound financial advice. When you know history, you know how tastes and the market change over time. Dennis Scholl, the vice president of arts for the Knight Foundation, has amassed a formidable collection alongside his wife, Debra. “The great secret about collecting is that if you focus and do it with connoisseurship, there are always one or two works that take care of the cost of acquiring the entire collection.” Margulies concurs. “Read, educate yourself, develop relationships with good dealers, go to museum shows to see the whole body of work by an artist. Are they progressing or regressing?” When asked about his own regimen, Margulies puts it bluntly: “I do work. I run around. I go to 20, 25 galleries a day when I’m in New York.” It’s not window shopping, it’s research.

PUT YOUR MONEY DOWN For many, fairs like Art Basel in Miami Beach and Frieze Art Fair are an excuse to score free Champagne and take in the sights—both on and off canvas. Not so for the big collectors. “The serious collectors don’t come for the dinners or the parties. This is serious stuff for them,” says Margulies. “If the fair opens on Wednesday, the big-time collectors are gone by Thursday.” Even if a backroom deal hasn’t already been sealed with two clinking flutes of Veuve Clicquot, a good piece won’t last long in the open. “If you don’t buy it at the booth, you might not have a chance,” he says, and relates a story from last Basel: He watched a couple and their advisor examining a painting. After a moment’s hesitation, they walked away to further

Piece of My Heart As with first loves, early art purchases, wise or not, hold a special place in collectors’ hearts, and there’s often a story to go with them. Jack Benmeleh: “One of

the frst important works we acquired was Ryan McGinness’s 33 Women— black-light mural for Miami. The work was the preliminary drawing for the mural that’s currently up in the Wynwood Walls. There’s a possibility that [mural] will eventually be painted over or destroyed. Then, the drawing will be the only remnant of a piece of Miami history.”

Vince Lago: When he and his

discuss the purchase. That’s when Margulies swooped in, acquiring the work for himself. “They didn’t pull the trigger,” he says with a laugh. At the booth or the gallery, discounts should be asked for tactfully. “Most people can get 10 percent off the top,” says a Miami dealer who asked to remain anonymous. “Twenty is reserved for friends and family.” Lowballing does little to create a lasting relationship with the dealer and the artist, which— because of future deals—should be everyone’s main goal. Also, remember that the sticker price is split with the artist, so any money kept in your pocket is kept from the artist’s. Then there’s online. In 2011, blue-chip gallerists James and Jane Cohan founded the VIP Art Fair, the first virtual art fair. It wasn’t a startling success, but it did test the waters for other virtual collecting sites, such as Artsy, Paddle8, and Artspace, which acquired VIP Art in 2013. For Jack Benmeleh and his wife, Tara Sokolow, two of Miami’s most visible young collectors, Paddle8 got them more than a good price on a piece. “The experience was identical to buying a work from one of the major auction houses,” says Benmeleh. “Same dance, different players.” The laptop offers young collectors unfettered

access to what can be a secretive industry. “Back in the day, you had to be connected to a specific gallery to get in on the hot artists. Now everyone has access,” says Benmeleh, who notes that “the relationship with the gallery or artist, however, is what takes you to the next level.”

FOR LOVE, OR MONEY? Collecting is often described as a drug—a very fun, expensive, and addictive drug. But what makes a good collection? “The key is getting the right work, not just getting a Stella, a Lichtenstein,” Margulies says, although he concedes that this takes a lot of money, and the right relationships. You also have to balance the personal benefits with the social. According to the Benmelehs, you should be honest about what moves you. “You’re not going to like everything you see, so the key is to be honest with yourself and pursue only the work that you truly love. Especially if you’re going to live with it.” Don and Mera Rubell second this. “Follow your heart, mind, and soul,” they advise, and “support as many young artists as you can.” That simple formula has proven quite successful for them, as they were early patrons of Richard Prince, Mike Kelley, and Jean-Michel Basquiat.

wife were dating, they fell in love with a gouache-ondouble-sided Mylar landscape by Daniel Arsham at the Emmanuel Perrotin Gallery in Wynwood (Another Light, Rising Beams, 2008). “Outside of the beauty of the piece, there are a lot of references to architecture and design,” says Lago, who is an engineer. The gallery let the couple pay off the work over six months, and it now hangs in the living room. Richard Massey: Despite

making the purchase long ago, Massey keeps an “un-childproofed” Andrew Dadson painting sitting in a crate. The artist left a thick accumulation of paint hanging off the lower edge of the canvas that will take years to dry, which, when Massey originally hung the work, was just too tempting a texture for one of his kids. “Happily the artist was able to fx the work,” says Massey, “but for now it sits in storage, waiting for the day my children and their friends understand the admonition to ‘look but not touch.’”

“Once yOu are br anded a flipper, Other galleries and artists will have seriOus reservatiOns abOut selling tO yOu.” —miami gallerist

However, there is a responsibility that comes along with collecting art. “I always try to get collectors to ask themselves what the end game of their collecting might look like and how their present activity will play into this,” says Aramis Gutierrez, an account manager at the Wynwood-based art firm Museo Vault. “I want them to think about how, through collecting, they are entering an artist’s conversation and assisting to propagate a certain type of aesthetic.” Simply put, you collect what you want remembered. But it’s naïve to think that money doesn’t factor into this. There is a lot of money to be made—and quickly. For instance, a Sotheby’s Evening Auction in May 2014 resulted in $364,379,000. “There are two types of collectors,” says Margulies. “There are the collectors who love and support art, but the majority are getting in because they think they can make money. At the end of the day, they are stock pickers and speculators.” And then there’s flipping. It’s been around, in some form, for decades, but the acceleration that Margulies mentioned can mean vast profit margins. Lucien Smith saw his value increase 3,000 percent in one year; Oscar Murillo’s (one of the Rubell discoveries) increase was 5,000 percent. This would be fantastic if it were based on talent or historical import, and were totally sustainable. But it’s not. If an artist’s market doesn’t sustain a NASA-level trajectory, collectors walk away. Curtains. One need only visit the pseudo tongue-in-cheek website artrank.com, which divides upcoming artists into categories such as “buy now,” “sell now,” and “liquidate,” to see how the market can wreak havoc on today’s art and tomorrow’s art history. Understandably, art world insiders are wary. One anonymous Miami gallerist doesn’t mince words. “Once you are branded a flipper, other galleries and artists will have serious reservations about selling to you. The art world is small, and people talk. While there are no rules or regulations, there is etiquette. You have to abide by it.” Collectors and gallerists agree that you should first offer a piece for the gallery to buy back, instead of sending it to an auction house. That can get messy, and oftentimes can result in a blacklist.

DOES THIS MATCH THE COUCH? Because no two homes are the same, collectors must consider how the work they purchase will fit on their walls. Or through the door. “We live on the 31st floor, so cranes are not an option,” says Benmeleh. “The elevator becomes the gatekeeper.” Even if you don’t live in a condo, displaying art in your home presents its own difficulties. “Humidity, light, and insects are all forces to be reckoned with in South Florida,” says Gutierrez. Many condo dwellers opt for video art, as it can be easily stored and displayed, but that too has hidden costs. Several years ago, Margulies complained that he was going to have to stop collecting video because the projector light bulbs were getting too expensive. When asked about this three years later, he laughed and said, “A hundred videos later, I’m still changing light bulbs.” For Dennis Scholl, “Collecting work that is difficult to exhibit is a hallmark of Miami collectors.” For example, he and Debra fell in love with Inverted Retrograde Theme, USA (House for a Songbird), a 2002

piece by Turner Prize winner Simon Starling. The only problem: The sculpture was 300 square feet and contained two live finches, which promptly “escaped from the piece and flew around in our space for a month, doing what birds do, all over our floors.” As artists experiment with new materials, collectors hold their breaths. Richard Massey bemoans the fact that he stored a Paul McCarthy Santa Claus doll, made out of chocolate, in his home freezer. He has kids. They like chocolate. You get the point. But the story doesn’t end there. Perhaps that piece would still be around if not for another work in Massey’s collection. As part of the 2004 Carnegie International Exhibition in Pittsburgh, the Belgian artist Carsten Höller filled a greenhouse with Solandra maxima, a potent aphrodisiac. After the exhibition ended, Massey acquired the plants for his Coconut Grove home. The amorous effects? “I now have two beautiful children to show for it.” That’s the thing with art. You often get more than you pay for. OD

Martha Raoli: The frst

time Raoli held an auction paddle was when the Chelsea outpost of Phillips offered the Estate of Mrs. Harry N. Abrams. She set her sights on a sculpted woman in a pink chair by an unknown artist, but had to leave to pick up her children at school, so only left a modest bid. The move was serendipitous. “I was able to score the piece for a song [because] the crowd was shopping for name brands,” she says. Dennis Scholl: “The very frst two works of art that Debra and I acquired were a Robert Motherwell print entitled Brushstroke, which cost around $200, and a Roy Lichtenstein print of a Thanksgiving turkey screened on a bag. It was entitled Turkey Shopping Bag. When I told my father I had paid $500 for it at an auction, he thought I had lost my mind.”

etween miracles happening on 34th Street and Bing Crosby dreaming of a white Christmas, movies have distorted the world’s view of winter. But picture this scene for a second: a leading man driving across the Julia Tuttle Causeway with the top down, sweat dripping off his brow as he braves the 80-degree weather (well, to be totally accurate, Miami hit a high of 78 on Christmas Day 2013), and heading into the bright blue yonder beyond the white sands of South Beach. Now that’s an Oscarworthy December. Sure, you won’t be dashing through the snow or walking in a winter wonderland, but in Miami you can throw on a pair of flip-flops, sip a martini at the Raleigh pool, and be laughing all the way, while your blizzard-ridden relatives up north realize winter isn’t as glamorous as in the movies. Miami has its own version of Hollywood glitz and glamour, though. Whether it was The Supremes performing at the Eden Roc over the holidays in 1965 or Liza Minnelli putting on a show at the classic Miami Beach hotel on the day after Christmas in 1972, the holidays have a time-honored tradition of being star-studded. These days, you might bump into a vacationing Adam Sandler at

the Boca Raton Resort & Club, Hayden Panettiere in Hollywood Beach, Michael J. Fox and his family dining at Prime 112, or Lenny Kravitz at Soho Beach House, as many stars now call Miami home for the holidays. But nobody brings the holiday spirit like Englandborn actress and filmmaker Gabrielle Anwar and her fiancé, Shareef Malnik, owner of The Forge Restaurant. “It begins at 6 am with all of us donning red matching onesies,” says Malnik of Christmas morning with Anwar and her kids, Paisley, Hugo, and Willow. “After the log fire is built, we move on to raiding the stuffed stockings hanging on the fireplace. Then we have Gabrielle’s famous Yule Tide breakfast, which consists of Britishstyle omelets and pancakes, scones, and her homemade GG’s Granola made with macadamia nut butter.” Other royal Miami families, like the Estefans, couldn’t think of anything better than to spend the holidays right here in paradise. They’ll do the typical Latin-family celebration on Nochebuena, and on Christmas Day the family will open presents with 2-year-old grandson Sasha. “It’s always fun to share Christmas through a young child’s eyes,” says Gloria (thus the inspiration behind Estefan’s holiday tune, “Christmas Through Your Eyes”). While many stars are relaxing, some are still performing in Miami as they did years ago. The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts is ringing in the holidays this year with The Colors of Christmas, featuring performances by Peabo Bryson, Taylor Dayne, Jennifer Holliday, and Ruben Studdard. “Miami is known for drawing some of the best celebrity talent and entertainment over the holidays,” says Scott Shiller, executive vice president of the Adrienne Arsht Center. “This season, the Arsht Center is carrying on that tradition with Disney’s Beauty and the Beast and classics such as Miami City Ballet’s The Nutcracker.”

f course, if you’re looking for bright lights, there’s no bigger stage on Christmas Day than AmericanAirlines Arena for the return of LeBron James. The entire country will have its eyes on Miami, as James and the Cleveland Cavaliers roll into town to take on our Miami Heat. From the celebrities sitting courtside to the A-list crowd partying inside Hyde, the arena will host an unmatched holiday celebration regardless of the final score. But let’s hope Santa brings us a victory. “There’s no question that the AmericanAirlines Arena will be the best place to be on Christmas Day,” says DJ Irie, the Heat’s official DJ. “Hyde will be going off. Everybody will be at the game, so the social scene that day will be super strong as well.” But there’s more to this city than fame and fortune. One of the beauties of Miami being a melting pot is that the residents bring traditions from all over the world. Chef Michael Mina continues his late mother-in-law’s holiday tradition by preparing a hearty cioppino—a seafood stew popular in San Francisco—for Christmas Eve dinner. At his restaurants, Michael Mina 74 and Stripsteak at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach, he’ll mix traditional dishes with local flavors, just like he does at home. “We decorate the house and pull fresh flowers and greenery from our garden to accent the dining table,” he says. “And we always have my wife’s amazing Bloody Marys. They’re a crowd favorite.” Chef Michelle Bernstein of Seagrape at Thompson Miami Beach comes from a Latin-Jewish household. “We had classic Nochebuena dinners, or as typical Jewish families often do, we went out for Chinese on Christmas night,” she recalls. But when she met her husband and business partner, David Martinez, she spent the holiday with his family in Oaxaca, Mexico, and the

tradition changed. “That was my first taste of true authentic Mexican food, and ever since, our Christmas feast is filled with flavors and recipes of Oaxaca, my own mother’s Jewish/Latin specialties, and some things I’ve picked up along the way,” she says. “It has evolved into a beautiful, eclectic, international food-centric holiday.” Miami is packed with flavor over the holidays. There are giant Italian feasts planned at restaurants like Cavalli and Cecconi’s, and a holiday brunch at Tongue & Cheek, where last year they offered gingerbread pancakes with apple butter and peppermint, and the eatery’s famous eggnog cocktail. But every culture has its special holiday dining hot spots. “If you want to turn it up a notch for an even more traditional Spanish dining experience, La Dorada in Coral Gables is an excellent choice,” says Alejandro Muguerza, president of catering and event design company Le Basque. “Their wide selection of ancestral dishes includes the most customary, sea bream, which is commonly used for Christmas in the Basque Country in Spain.” And leave it to body-obsessed Miami to let you order your healthy holiday meals right to your door. DeliverLean, a popular healthy food delivery service, adds items like Paleo pumpkin muffins, maple-roasted butternut squash, and cranberry turkey meatloaf to the menu for holiday time. DeliverLean CEO Scott Harris eats clean over the holidays, but he also relaxes. “Ever since I moved to South Florida, I head down to Islamorada in the Keys for some downtime in December,” he says. “I love going out on the boat with friends, fishing, and cooking fresh meals during my visit. The laid-back vibe of the Keys helps me relax and reflect on the past year and the year to come.”

est and relaxation are always in the cards in South Florida with some of the best spas, pools, and pampering services in the world. But you can also get out and feel the holiday spirit at venues around town. The flourishing Russian population of MiamiDade can experience a taste of home with Moscow Ballet’s Great Russian Nutcracker at the Fillmore Miami Beach, while the New World Symphony’s Sights and Sounds of the Season will feature music from a variety of heritages. You can hear Christmas carols in the Drawing Room at Soho Beach House, or have your jingle bells rocked on Saturdays in December at Little Havana’s Ball & Chain, which is adding a pig roast and holiday sounds to the high-energy Cuban music at its La Pachanga party. Or you can throw on your most hideously festive pullover and party with scenesters at the Broken Shaker’s annual Ugly Sweater party. Then there’s the 28th annual Matzoball, held at LIV this year, where you can toast your way through a Jewish Christmas Eve, and maybe even find a spouse. Oy vey, it’s a miracle! “The Matzoball is one of my favorite nights of the year,” says Jimmy Vargas, director of marketing at LIV Nightclub. “The dance floor is packed, there’s great energy in the room, and the drinks don’t stop until well into Christmas Day.” But ultimately the best part of the holiday season in Miami is that you’re in Miami—the same Miami that exists year round, the Miami where you can relax on a beach chair at the Delano, where we don’t just have presents under a tree (although shade is certainly a gift), we have them all around us. There’s no snow to shovel from driveways or ice to scrape off windshields. It’s sun and fun and smiles for everyone. It truly is the season to be jolly. Happy Holidays! OD

Million-dollar Koons sculptures and designs by schnabel—it’s all part of the collaboration between art and MiaMi’s expanding real estate booM. by sean mccaughan The art scene in Miami continues to grow at an extraordinary pace, so much so that for many residents living in some of the most high-end buildings in the world, a trip to the museum isn’t always necessary for a daily dose of creativity.

In these new condo towers, art is a fundamental aspect of the entire project, and not just a colorful wall-hanging picked up at moment’s notice because it matched the drapes; these are big new vertical Xanadus dripping in art. Everyone is trying to outdo one another—Faena House (miami.livefaena .com), developed by Alan Faena, will house the

Faena Bazaar and an artist-in-residence center by Rem Koolhaas and OMA, while Oceana Bal Harbour (oceanabalharbour.com) will feature two larger-than-life works by Jeff Koons—pluto and proserpina and ballerina, purchased in 2013 for $14 million—both of which will be shared and owned by building tenants. 250 Wynwood (250wynwood .com)—an 11-unit condo developed by Fortis, will feature terrace overhangs decorated with curated graffiti. Not far away, the Filling Station Lofts in Wynwood (filling stationlofts.com) has enlisted local artist Daniel Fila to create unique works of art for each individual floor, as well as to consult on the building’s aesthetics. Up in Sunny Isles Beach, Property Markets Group’s Muse Residences (musesunnyisles.us)—47 stories with 68 units—will deliver a custom $200,000 piece of art by Helidon Xhixha, created after consultation with the owner, into every $4 million-and-up unit. CMC Group is developing Brickell Flatiron (brickellflatiron.com) on a wedge-shaped site at the convergence of South Miami Avenue and Southeast First Avenue. Besides its shape, the Brickell Flatiron

building’s single most distinctive feature is an extensive and very public collaboration with the artist Julian Schnabel. CMC has Schnabel creating the spaces for the general public: the temporary sales center, the lobby, and the exterior, among others. Although not particularly huge, the sales center, built in adjacent Flatiron Park, is as lavish as Miami sales centers get (and that’s saying a lot). Along with filling the interior with his art, Schnabel has modeled the space after his famed home in New York. It’s Miami’s own miniature Palazzo Chupi, and a singular art installation in itself—perhaps Miami’s first “museum-quality” condominium sales center. And if that’s not enough, CMC is sponsoring an actual museum exhibition of Schnabel’s work, at Fort Lauderdale’s NSU Museum of Art, curated by the incomparable Bonnie Clearwater. “The goal is to involve the public,” says Vanessa Grout, president of CMC Real Estate. Over at The Related Group, Art Director Patricia Hanna is tasked with creating the art collections that adorn every luxury condominium project that the company builds. And in Miami, they’re all considered luxury. Hanna and Related head Jorge Pérez have fostered a partnership with the National YoungArts Foundation that should blossom in all sorts of interesting ways. YoungArts scholarship recipients will have their work displayed within Related projects, including at the sculpture garden at Icon Bay, a condominium tower near the new YoungArts campus. And an artists-in-residency program will house at least three artists a year in Related condos. Other Related buildings with their own collections include One Ocean, which is currently under construction; Baltus House, which recently topped off; Brickell Heights and SLS Brickell, both of which broke ground earlier this year; and SLS Lux, which features a giant Botero statue in the sales center courtyard. These developers are obviously considering way more than a return on investment when deciding to do “art.” They’re doing it because it’s good for Miami, but they’re only able to do it because in this economy it’s finally cost effective. “Fortunately Miami is experiencing a newly popular alignment between artistic ambition and financial incentives,” says Grout. “Private money is investing in art, which directly impacts the public good while providing a good return on investment.” Are developers doing it for the money? Not necessarily, but they couldn’t do all this without it. OD

Tony Cho at Miami’s Little Haiti Cultural Center.

Here Comes tHe NeigHborHood

Inside his Wynwood office—a 1962 two-story Woolworth’s warehouse adapted into the Metro 1 Properties home base—founder and CEO Tony Cho spends so much time surrounded by artists that, in his own way, he’s become one. Turning the once blank canvases of neighborhoods like Wynwood, Little River, and Lemon City into burgeoning pockets of Miami, Cho has played a major role in painting a bright future for once-forgotten areas of the city. He’s buying. He’s selling. He’s doing what he’s done since he was in the nightclub game more than a dozen years ago: promoting. Cho talks to Ocean Drive about how he got started, his vision for the Upper East Side, and how he’s opening the velvet ropes to artists everywhere. You parlayed early investments in Wynwood and the surrounding areas into big success—how did it start? I came to the area in 2000 when I got my real estate license, and I was exposed to the underbelly and inner workings of the creative class early on. One of my clients bought a warehouse on Fourth Court, and she showed me

a different side of Miami that I didn’t know existed. I bought my first property in 2001 on Bayshore Drive. I bought that apartment with a private mortgage at 11 percent with $9,000 that I had saved, and then a year later I sold that $66,000 condo for $180,000. I started investing in what I believed would be the future: interesting, creative neighborhoods of Miami—Edgewater, Wynwood, Design District, Buena Vista, Little River, Lemon City, Upper East Side, downtown. What made you see a future there? An international trend around the world is urbanizing. People are deemphasizing the automobile and moving into the inner cities, and I created this concept of Metro 1 based on embodying those global trends. It’s the first time in history that more than 51 percent of the world’s population lives in cities, and the forecast is that 70 percent of the world’s population will live in cities by 2050.

“Miami is seen as a place for this entrepreneurial culture and for a mini-tech Silicon Valley, or Silicon Beach.”—tony cho I partnered up with a very successful entrepreneur named Robert Zangrillo out of Miami, and we’ve cofounded an opportunity and development fund called the Magic City Fund. We’ve assembled collectively, between Wynwood and the Lemon City/Little River area, about 15 acres and 200,000 square feet of commercial buildings for development and adaptive reuse projects. That’s our next frontier. What do you envision for Little River? I see Little River as being a creative incubator community. It’s where the creatives are going because it’s more affordable, so you have a lot of art galleries that are

moving there like the Michael Jon Gallery and Guccivuitton, and you have a lot of the artist studios there like Bhakti Baxter. What does the future hold for Wynwood? If you’re a tech company— whether you’re a start-up or established—you probably want to locate your business in Wynwood, because that’s what it represents: that incubator, entrepreneurial culture. Facebook is looking for a location in Wynwood, and The LAB became a huge success in Wynwood, which was a tenant that we brought to the neighborhood. Miami is seen as a place for this entrepreneurial culture and for a mini-tech Silicon Valley, or Silicon Beach. But

I also see more, higher-end art galleries coming into Wynwood and a heavy influx of food, beverage, hospitality, and hotels. How do you ensure these neighborhoods are successful? Good instincts. You also have to put your money where your mouth is and promote like hell, and then you create a momentum. You have wonderful people and leaders like Tony Goldman and Craig Robins—with capital and resources and a track record—who came in as well to help propel it forward. It’s getting everybody on the same page and working together collectively as a team for the greater good

of the neighborhood. How is Metro 1 transitioning? We’re going to do $300 million in sales, and over the last couple of years, I’ve been transitioning from primarily a broker-based business to a fully integrated urban real estate organization that does development, brokerage, and management. We currently have a million square feet under management in our company, and I imagine that’s going to grow exponentially over the next five to 10 years. It’s exciting to now have a stake in some of this stuff and not just broker the deal and let the destiny of a property be in the hands of someone else. OD

TONY AWARDS

No one knows Miami better than Tony and wife Ximena Cho: Best date night spot: “Mandolin (4312 NE Second Ave., Miami, 305-576-6066; mandolin miami.com) is one of my top favorite places. The food is spectacular, the ownership is wonderful, they grow a lot of their own vegetables, and the environment is just awesome.” Power lunch or power dinner: “Probably more power dinners. Zuma (270 Biscayne Blvd. Way, Miami, 305-577-0277; zumarestaurant.com) is still one of my favorite spots in Miami. For a power dinner, it’s got the right ambience, the right crowd, the right service, the food is spectacular, and you just feel great when you’re there.” Favorite place to unwind: “I love relaxing and reading a book by the pool in front of the bay at The Standard (40 Island Ave., Miami Beach, 305-673-1717; standardhotels.com/spamiami-beach). I love the Hamam and the steam room at The Standard. It’s fabulous.” Where do you go to escape? “We recently acquired a farmhouse up in central Florida, so we’ve been spending a lot of time there. We’ve got chickens and goats. My brother and sister run the permaculture and animal programs up there. So it’s family time and farm time, and it’s really enjoyable.”

Fisher Island Gold Rush

A judge’s decision in February to green-light the stalled development of Fisher Island’s first luxury condo buildings in seven years set off a flurry of activity among the island’s wealthy residents. The pent-up anticipation was evident. Even before the project’s condo documents could be filed, residents “started walking in with checks,” says Dora Puig, the prominent Miami agent who is listing the 47 apartments in the 10-story Palazzo del Sol, the first of what promise to be the island’s two most luxurious condo towers yet. Puig began taking reservations and deposits last winter, and she spent part of her summer chasing down early buyers on their yachts in the Hamptons and St-Tropez to convert reservations to hard contracts. As Palazzo del Sol officially opens its sales center, Puig is expecting a veritable gold rush on Fisher Island, a privileged outpost where Oprah Winfrey, Mel Brooks, and tennis star Boris

Becker have all owned homes. “Buying on Fisher Island today is like buying one of the last 50 Picassos before he died,” says Jean-Pierre Murray, a Frenchman who splits his time among homes in Beverly Hills, Fisher Island, and the south of France. Murray, who recently toured Palazzo del Sol’s high-tech sales center, was the first resident to upgrade. He bought two apartments in the new building, including a 7,630-square-foot unit with five bedrooms and five-and-a-half baths. Until the February decision, a thorny legal battle over control of residential development land on Fisher Island had all but sidelined the 216-acre island, which has 722 residences, from the current Miami real estate boom. Today, after a $60 million renovation of the Fisher Island Club country club, the island is primed continued on page 326

A rendering of the finished Palazzo del Sol.

“Buying on Fisher island today is like Buying one oF the last 50 Picassos BeFore he died.”—jean-pierre murray to burnish its reputation among the global elite. Visible from South Pointe Park and passing cruise boats, Fisher Island feels a world away from South Beach. Security is tight, and residents access their homes via a ferry (or private yacht) that runs every 10 minutes or so. A gourmet market sells Russian caviar, and the island’s day school teaches Mandarin and Spanish as part of the curriculum. The island is also home to nearly 40 species of birds, about a dozen of which are housed in an aviary. Palazzo del Sol will reflect Fisher Island’s traditional Mediterranean style but with an updated look by architect Kobi Karp. It features much larger units, higher ceilings, more floor-to-ceiling windows, trendy fixtures, and appliances from Boffi and Gaggenau—touches the superwealthy have come to expect from buildings in the South of Fifth towers visible across Government Cut. Puig dubs the fresher look “beach house chic.” Interior designer Alison Antrobus, who worked on the lobby and sales center, and landscape architect Enzo Enea, who is designing the outdoor spaces, both made their mark recently working on residences in South of Fifth (Antrobus designed the Prime 112 steakhouse and Miami Heat President Pat Riley’s penthouse at Apogee). Of Dora Puig at the Palazzo course, the developers fully expect del Sol sales many wealthy buyers to do gut renocenter. vations of their residences.

Another Fisher resident, a Russian, reserved the trophy penthouse at Palazzo del Sol back in April, agreeing to pay nearly $33 million, which would be a record sale on the island. It will have 9,715 square feet spread across seven bedrooms, 8,595 square feet of outdoor space, and something previously rare on Fisher: a rooftop pool. “This is the first building on Fisher Island that has real penthouse pools and rooftop gardens,” says Heinrich von Hanau, the developer. The building will also feature massage rooms, a hair salon, a butler-staffed aperitivo bar and lounge, a children’s playroom by Kidville, and a private movie theater that seats about a dozen. And that’s not to mention special storage for fur coats and air-conditioned two-car garages for the penthouse and lanai residences. Palazzo del Sol should benefit by being the only new condo development in Miami Beach to launch this winter. Prices range from $5.5 million for a three-bedroom to about $25 million for the remaining two penthouses, which will have rooftop pools and 6,644 square feet of living space. While more than a third of the apartments are already under contract, still available are the two penthouses and a groundfloor lanai residence with 12,844 square feet of private garden space. Price tag: $20 million. 305-613-2118; dorapuig.com OD

Created in 1905, Fisher Island has a celebrated past. In the 1920s, developer Carl Fisher traded seven acres of the island to William K. Vanderbilt II in exchange for a 250-foot yacht. Vanderbilt built the $1.5 million Mediterraneanstyle Vanderbilt Estate, complete with a 19-bedroom house, golf course, and seaplane hangar. The island became an exclusive enclave for the world’s superwealthy, with Forbes naming it the richest community in the country in 2011. Today the residents, about a third of whom live on the island full-time, hail from 42 countries.

The Basel Boom

Two powerhouse, record-breaking luxury real esTaTe agenTs discuss whaT’s changed in The MiaMi MarkeT since lasT year’s arT basel. moderated by julia ford-carther

Art Basel serves as a benchmark for the health of Miami’s cultural and economic states. Last year’s acclaimed event—along with several infrastructure developments in the past 12 months—added to Miami’s allure as an international landmark for high-end living. Nancy Batchelor, of The Nancy Batchelor Team at EWM Realty International, and Niki Higgins, director of luxury sales at the Seaside Properties Group at Douglas Elliman, take a look at how Miami’s real estate market has grown since the 2013 fair, and why last year’s buyers are here to stay. Nancy Batchelor: We’ve got three buyers: The millennials who went to college [and] came back. They’ve got baby-boomer parents [who] are buying big stuff. We’ve got the hedge-fund market, which is not just New York; it’s

California, Europe, India. They fall in love with [Miami], they get a taste during Basel, and then they come back for a long weekend, go deeper and figure out what part of South Florida works for them. Then there’s your international buyer. When people look into moving here permanently, it becomes different. People put their toe in and come for holidays and it’s a second-home market, but then they like it here, [their kids] can go to college [here]. Now we have world-class medical [facilities] and universities. All the pieces of the puzzle are here. Niki Higgins: The Knight Frank Wealth Report 2014 says that Miami is the number-two [top global city in the] US [region]. And as far as cities in the world that ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWI) want to be in, it’s number eight. And 20 percent of them are considering buying a new home this year. NB: Just like the art world has exploded in the last 12 months, so has the ultra-luxury market. [The Nancy Batchelor Team has] had more sales in the last 12 months of $1 million, $5 million, $10 million and higher than in the past few years. NH: The UHNWI wants to come to cities that are ranked on economic activity, quality of life, knowledge and influence and political power, so the US is very appealing. These individuals are moving and reallocating their continued on page 330

assets around the world, and they want to be in their top cities, and Miami’s arrived. We are feeling, in Miami all the way up to Palm Beach, the increase of the global reallocation. NB: What’s happened is Miami is year round. We had a lot of people who had a great time at Basel, then maybe came for the Miami International Boat Show, President’s Weekend, and they love it during this time. But everyone says it’s so hot in the summer. Our team had such a busy August because people wanted to come in the worst month and see if it’s really that bad. We had some big sales that month, and they are going to come back to Basel to buy the art. NH: Art Basel is kind of the mixer in the mixing bowl. The art comes together with the real estate. The buyers [aren’t] buying real estate during Art Basel—they are here to buy art—but they certainly enjoy the excitement and vibrancy of the city. NB: Realtors, during that period, [are] connectors. “What’s happening? What’s the good place to be? What restaurant? How do we get there?” It’s more of that we’re doing.

330 oceandrive.com

NH: We do entertaining, eating, talking, meeting maybe at one of the art fairs. It is a time to connect with people and show them what a beautiful place we live in. NB: Speaking of art, [in] all these brand-new buildings, the architecture [and] art are really selling the condominiums. It’s one thing to know floor plans, price points…. and then it’s, “Oh, by the way, who is the architect?” It has become very high-end. It’s like, “Is that a Prada bag or not?” It’s branding with the architects, the designers, and the art that’s there. NH: Miami is still a great buy. It’s only the 14th-most-expensive city in the world. 2014/2015 is a good time to buy before Miami prices catch up with the other leading cities of the world.

With more than $3 billion worth of art on display at last year’s Art Basel and a host of “satellite” art shows taking place all over town, there are treasures to be had at this year’s fairs, but knowing a good “get” when you see one sometimes requires a little help. Mia Romanik is an art advisor who trades in her knowledge of art history and relationships in the art world to help her clients build and maintain collections. Born and raised in Hollywood, Florida, she travels to fairs, galleries, and studios around the world on behalf of her clients. Who do you think are four artists to watch at this year’s Art Basel in Miami Beach? Cory Arcangel explores our society’s rapid pace of consumption through obsolete technologies and cultural ephemera. His work operates as a time capsule of our generation. Represented by Team Gallery in New York and Lisson Gallery in London and Milan. Jonas Wood’s paintings of domestic interiors, televised sports, houseplants, and sports trading cards turn moments from the artist’s life into kaleidoscopic collages of color, shape, and pattern. Represented by Anton Kern in New York, David Kordansky in Los Angeles, and Shane Campbell in Chicago. Eddie Martinez is masterful with paint, both technically

and through his knowledge of art history. Shows with Kohn Gallery in Los Angeles and Timothy Taylor in London. The works of Tony Lewis, an African-American artist based out of Chicago, revolve around text, with a connection to other language-oriented artists such as Ligon, Kruger, and Holzer. Shows with Shane Campbell and Massimo de Carlo. Are more people collecting because of a love for art or because they see it as any other type of financial investment? People collect for all different reasons, with a love for art always being the platform to start on. However, there has been a lot of investment opportunity for art over the past few years. Is there a risk of art depreciating in value? Collecting and investing in art should be based on passion for the work, but as with any other investment, there is risk involved. Art is hard to buy and often hard to sell, too. How do your younger clients behave in comparison to the older generation? Younger clients are definitely more excited by the investment opportunity side of this business. Older clients are a bit more comfortable in what they are looking to achieve with their collection and its focus. OD

At this year’s Art Basel in Miami Beach, visitors will encounter the works of some of the world’s edgiest artists of the moment. When it comes to interior design, that focus is no less important, and this season, many of the hottest pieces feature a series of exquisitely chiseled angles. Forget rounded surfaces. Right now, the coolest collections include stunners such as lighting designer Lindsey Adelman’s hard-lined Agnes chandelier and the Rug Company’s abstract jumble of oblique angles.

Home, Sweet Home

In collaboratIon wIth Venus Williams, French desIgn house Roche BoBois made mIamI women’s shelter lotus house a beautIFul place to be. by julia ford-carther The power of good design is a palpable one, albeit a luxury not everyone can afford. In an effort to bring beautiful furnishings to those who deserve it most, French design house Roche Bobois teamed up with tennis star Venus Williams to outfit the Lotus House, a women’s shelter that has been supporting Miami’s homeless women and children for the past 10 years. “Whether you’re very rich or very poor, to come home and find yourself surrounded by beautiful furniture gives you a sense of inspiration. That is what Roche Bobois does for them,” explains Julien Bigan, US communications director for Roche Bobois. Located in Miami’s Overtown neighborhood, Lotus House has been providing health and wellness services, housing, job training, and personal support to hundreds of women and children since it opened its

doors in 2006, after being founded by President and Executive Director Constance Collins in 2004. To furnish the shelter’s 35 apartments, dining areas, common spaces, and offices, Roche Bobois donated an extensive selection of new items from previous collections, from chairs to area rugs and bedroom furniture. Along with his team, Bigan personally hand-delivered and placed many of the items throughout the shelter. “Julien was one of the individuals who came to help literally move furniture— and it was a hot day,” remembers Collins. “Sleeves rolled up, right in the middle of it. That’s pretty impressive.” It proved to be a fulfilling day of personal exchange and creative inspiration as residents involved themselves in the design process. Says Bigan of the experience, “The intention was to

respect the owner of the space, the residents. When we were doing the donations, we said, ‘How do you feel about this?’” To cap the event, Williams, who is also owner of the design firm V Starr Interiors, made a personal appearance with her mother, touring and getting to know the shelter with Collins, and closing the afternoon with an inspirational speech. “She gave a talk that was very heartfelt to the women in the shelter,” recalls Collins. “To have a woman of her stature visit, share, and speak one on one, it’s extraordinary. Her speech was very inspirational, about how perseverance against all the odds was so critical in her achieving success and how believing in herself was a strong motivating force.” The reactions of the residents upon seeing their new apartments reflected

“Whether you’re rich or poor, to come home and find yourself surrounded by beautiful furniture gives you a sense of inspiration.” —julien bigan

Roche Bobois’s and Williams’s common objective. “All I heard repeatedly was, ‘This feels like home,’” recounts Collins. “There’s something really nurturing about living in a shelter and then having this group of people who care about you descend

upon it, and flood you with furniture and rugs and lamps and chairs and couches and goodwill. That was very uplifting for the shelter as a whole. I have nothing but gratitude.” Lotus House, 217 NW 15th St., Miami, 305-438-0556; lotushouse.org OD

CELEBRATING DESIGN MIAMI’S 10TH ANNIVERSARY, NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR RODMAN PRIMAC IS PIONEERING THE FUTURE OF THE DESIGN UNIVERSE. BY JULIA FORD-CARTHER

In typical Miami fashion, Design Miami’s recent appointment of Rodman Primack as its executive director was a departure from the traditional. In his new role, Primack draws from a CV that spans architecture (junior designer, Peter Marino Architect), design (chairman, Phillips de Pury, London—now Phillips), interiors (founder, RP Miller Design), and art (specialist of Latin American art, Christie’s), to name just a few of his past titles.

“ART BASEL, DESIGN MIAMI, AND OTHER FAIRS HAVE HAD SUCH A HUGE IMPACT ON THE WAY THE CITY SEES ITSELF.” —RODMAN PRIMACK

PHOTOGRAPHY BY JUSTIN NAMON/RA-HAUS (PRIMACK)

How has your unconventional background prepared you for your new role at Design Miami? I have this very diverse background that has always folded over design. Even when I was working for Larry Gagosian, we did one of the first shows Larry did with furniture with Patrick Seguin [at Gagosian Gallery] in LA with [ Jean] Prouvé and [Charlotte] Perriand. Having a bit of a decorator and contemporary art background gives me a broad view of the marketplace and how collectors look at this market. [Also], I’ve been to every edition of the fair, at times as a competitor, an advisor, or a collector, and even an exhibitor. So my understanding and knowledge of the fair comes from different perspectives. What’s new this year? We’re introducing Design Curio, an invitational program geared toward the broader design community. Institutions, galleries, designers—they’re micro-groups that together will show interesting trends that are happening in design outside of collectible design or furniture. In honor of our 10-year anniversary, we are looking forward at the next 10 years [with] a new award, Design Visionary. The award recognizes people who have made an impact in the design world in a broader way. This year, we are giving it to Peter Marino. What’s the relationship between the city and the fair? I first started coming to Miami in the late ’90s with Christie’s. Art Basel, Design Miami, and other fairs have had such a huge impact on the way the city sees itself. Today, when you go to the fair, you have a very polished, sophisticated experience, which reflects what’s happening to Miami in general. What pieces would we find in your personal collection? My husband and I have such varied tastes [in our homes in] Miami, Guatemala, and New York. We have works of Perriand and Jean Prouvé. We love Memphis [from] Michele De Lucchi, [and] contemporary work from David Wiseman. And then art: Gabriel Orozco, Marilyn Minter. I live what I’m preaching.

back to the future

Louis Vuitton brings an unrealized residential lifestyle collection by the late modern master Pierre Paulin to life in an evocative exhibition in the design district—just in time for design miami.

Tapis-siège (1970), produced for the project “Playing With Shapes.” above, from left: Pierre Paulin on a trip across the US to show his project to modern furniture design company Herman Miller; a view of “Playing With Shapes” presented by Louis Vuitton at this year’s Design Miami.

Pierre Paulin’s innovations are a testament to the Power of PrinciPled modern design.

Many design aficionados who lived through the 1970s remember the decade as the end of the modernist era as we knew it. Some regard this period as the turning point that led to the degeneration of the high-minded principles that fueled modernism as a dominant influence on our ways of living for more than five decades. Others see it as a creative period when industrial design icons like Ettore Sottsass, Gaetano Pesce, Paul Evans, and Pierre Paulin were at their most prolific—and inspired. Thanks to an exhibition called “Playing With Shapes,” envisioned by the creative forces at Louis Vuitton and presented at the Palm Court in the Design District, old- and new-guard modernists alike can get a glimpse of an essentially unknown yet visionary project of the era that offers food for thought for a new age of design innovation. Conceived in 1972 by the iconoclastic furniture, interior, and industrial designer Pierre Paulin, a French master of the time, this multifaceted yet never realized collection of modular furnishings, storage elements, and accents sheds light not only on the genius of the renowned designer, but also on the conceptual thinking of leading designers of the day. Though the project was never brought to market, it remained one of Paulin’s favorite creations. And now, more than four decades after the project was shelved, Louis continued on page 344

eminent domain Heritage A 1972 mock-up for furniture designer Herman Miller, showing the different modules of the project.

Vuitton has sponsored the manufacture of the elements in the collection—true to the scale and materials of Paulin’s original vision. Tapped by the revolutionary furniture manufacturer Herman Miller, Paulin was commissioned to create a cohesive system of components that could adapt to a more fluid modern lifestyle— allowing everyday people to craft and deconstruct their environments at will, reconfiguring the elements as needed as their families expanded or contracted, or circumstances changed over

time. With all of his designs, his first priority was always comfort, according to Paulin’s son Benjamin. “The pieces had to make sense to be useful,” he says. “When you look at [a piece of his furniture], you could think at first sight that it is a very fanciful and free design, almost an artistic act, but it isn’t. My father used to consider himself, with a little bit of humor and provocation, as the comet tail of functionalism.” At the same time, these elements were also intended to ease the inner psyche of

their owners by allowing them to control their surroundings and cocoon themselves within their personal refuge by keeping at bay the excesses of the information age that were beginning to emerge at the time. The drawings and models Pierre Paulin produced for this lifestyle system of components, which are now among the Pompidou Center’s collections in Paris, merge notions of beauty, comfort, simplicity, and ease in a system that could be massmanufactured to bring

function and form to a wide range of modern dwellings. Among the most intriguing of the 18 elements in this collection are the petite déclive, an articulated recliner, and the tapis-siège, a lounge seat that emerges from the carpet. The designer intended to take advantage of the strengths of new materials, like plastics and resins that had been developed during WWII, which stretched possibilities for the sculptural form and durability of his furnishings and components. Pierre Paulin’s innovations

are a testament to the enduring power of principled modern design. And if he were alive to know his cherished project would be brought to life and seen by the international art and design cognoscenti in Miami this month, he’d surely relish the fact that each element was made to meet the exacting standards of another legendary and groundbreaking French icon of design. “playing with shapes” runs from december 2–7 at palm court, Miami design district, 140 ne 39th st., ste. 326; louisvuitton.com.
