FROM THE CEO

Let the Season

Begin!

MICHAEL PRICE

Fall means so much more than cooler temperatures and the end of summer vacation. It’s an exciting time filled with fresh adventures and places to explore. When it comes to culture in Palm Beach County, autumn means the rising of curtains, the tuning of instruments, and the opening of new art exhibitions.

This issue of art&culture magazine is your guide to the cultural landscape of Palm Beach County this season. Whether it’s an introspective look at the life and work of artist and former Metallica band member Jason Newsted on page 28, the incredible sight of artistic vignettes set inside oyster shells on page 48, or any of the other exclusive interviews and photography in this issue, you’re set to enjoy all that we in the arts and cultural community have to offer.

We’re on the cusp of the Cultural Council’s fortieth year of supporting arts and culture in Palm Beach County, and I can’t wait to celebrate our anniversary together.

CONTRIBUTORS

Harry Benson (right) with Jason Newsted

JONATHAN DELANO

HARRY BENSON Photographer Harry Benson has had a prolific career in visual media, from his early days as a photojournalist in Scotland through the past 65 years shooting some of the most memorable people and moments in history. Beginning with The Beatles in 1964, Harry has captured powerful images of everyone from Queen Elizabeth to Donald Trump, Frank Sinatra to Amy Winehouse, and has documented unforgettable events like Martin Luther King Jr.’s civil rights marches and the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy. Featured in this issue are select images from his new book, Persons of Interest (“Face Value,” page 34) , as well as his portraits of Jason Newsted (“A Heavy Perspective,” page 28).

BAMA LUTES DEAL As manager of the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County’s Cultural Concierge Program, Bama helps connect visitors with the arts and cultural landscape of the Palm Beaches. An orchestral musician, musicologist, and former faculty member at Wake Forest University and The University of North Carolina at Greensboro, she believes the best works of art challenge audiences, causing them to struggle and wonder.

Says Bama: “As Einstein said, ‘The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.’” In each issue of art&culture, Bama selects her don’t-miss events of the season (“5 to See,” page 20).

Working out of her studio in West Palm Beach, Libby creates magical food photography using props and a unique styling method to evoke emotion. Her talent is on full display in this issue: She shot the gorgeous oyster art in “Art on the Half Shell” (page 48) and brought the ornamental work of local artists to new heights in “Deck the Halls” (page 54). In August, a&c took home a Florida Magazine Association Charlie Award (first place statewide) in the category “Best Photography: Photo Essay/Series” for Libby’s work in the Spring/ Summer 2017 issue, “The Art of the Meal.”

MARK SPIVAK An award-winning writer specializing in wine, spirits, food, restaurants, and culinary travel, Mark was the wine writer for the Palm Beach Post from 1994 to 1999, and since 2001 has been the wine and spirits editor for Palm Beach Media Group. He is recognized as an Advanced Sommelier by the Court of Master Sommeliers and was the host of the popular wine show Uncorked!, on the Palm Beach affiliate of National Public Radio. His work has appeared in National Geographic Traveler, Robb Report, and Men’s Journal, among others, and he has penned books on wine and spirits as well as a novel. For a&c, he scours the county for new and noteworthy restaurants to highlight in the “Bites” section (page 69).

LIBBY VOLGYES

LIZA GRANT SMITH After a tour of duty in corporate finance, Liza traded her French-cuff shirts for freelance writing and now spends her days interviewing Florida’s most fascinating personalities and searching for unique home accents to feature in a&c (“Covet,” page 24). Her work regularly appears in Palm Beach Illustrated and Naples Illustrated and has made its way into national publications including Ocean Home. After more than a decade of writing, she has found that this career investment has generated the highest possible return in terms of personal happiness.

GIFT OF A LIFETIME South Florida residents Isadore and Kelly Friedman spent more than three decades acquiring a topquality collection of artwork, with photography holding a special place in the heart of Isadore. The images on display in Photography from the Bequest of Isadore and Kelly Friedman put the longtime museum trustee in touch with THE WALK TO a world he loved, as well as PARADISE GARDEN, 1946, W. EUGENE SMITH transported him to a familiar time and place: his childhood in New York. During his lifetime, Friedman amassed an enviable collection that includes some of the most respected names in the medium: Edward Steichen, Helmut Newton, and Margaret Bourke-White among them. Now he shares his passion with the residents of Palm Beach County—and you don’t want to miss it.

IMAGINARY FRIEND(SHIP) Head to downtown West Palm Beach to catch the world premiere of a new play by Terry Teachout.

Billy and Me is a “memory play,” narrated by Tennessee Williams, about his tempestuous friendship with fellow playwright William Inge. “Inge and Williams were friends, but neither one of them has ever spoken on record about their relationship in any detail,” Teachout has said.

“That gave me the elbow room I needed to imagine for myself what might have taken place between them.” Palm Beach Dramaworks’ producing artistic director William Hayes, who suggested the idea to Teachout, will direct the premiere.

The White House Effect For Palm Beach, the long-promised bright FUTURE is now

MELANIA TRUMP WITH AKIE ABE AT THE MORIKAMI IN FEBRUARY

Bonnie LeMay. “After that, we had between four and five months of increased attendance. We also got about $8 million worth of media attention that we couldn’t have gotten any other way.... The prime minister’s wife has told us she will be back and looks forward to meditating in our Contemplation Pavilion.”

All of this coincides with a 14 percent increase in visitors from Washington D.C. alone since last year, while overall tourism increased 7 percent over the same period in 2016—pumping more than $7 billion into the local economy. And that surplus has trickled down to the local arts community: For fiscal year 2017–2018, NORTON MUSEUM OF ART arts organizations saw an increase in funding through the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County (a record $4.44 million for 22 major institutions and 11 mid-sized organizations).

Looking ahead, Cultural Council Director Rena Blades sees this as a time to capitalize on President Trump’s time in the White House. “The media, who wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for President Trump, are now here because they’re looking for stories,” she says. “We need to take advantage of all the eyeballs that are watching Palm Beach County in the middle of winter.”

Ultimately, what makes an area desirable is a positive environment that nurtures people’s lives. Right here, right now, it is all falling into place. ‡ FOSTER + PARTNERS

Timing is everything.

The last time so many eyes were focused on Palm Beach County was in 1960. Part-time resident John F. Kennedy was elected president of the United States, and suddenly the area was getting some pretty major attention. At the time, however, “the rest” of Palm Beach was regarded as ancillary to the island resort town itself. The population of the county was just 228,106. The Norton Museum of Art was a lonely fine arts outpost.

Fifty years later, we have another part-time Palm Beacher in the White House—and the attention is back. But things are different today.

At 1.4 million and growing, Palm Beach is now the twenty-eighth largest county in the country. And when its major renovation is complete, the Norton, which has already blossomed into a certified cultural destination, is positioned to become a beacon for the entire Southeast.

There is no doubt the recent election has had, and will have, an impact on the area, both specific and general. In the case of the former, there was the visit of First Lady Melania Trump and Aki Abe, the wife of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, to the Morikami Museum in February, which boosted the overall profile of the museum on a national level. And the Norton saw a noticeable increase in Asian visitors after Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s April visit to “the Winter White House,” The Mar-a-Lago Club.

“West Palm Beach has developed a much stronger identity than as an attachment to Palm Beach,” says Hope Alswang, director and CEO of the Norton. “We were inundated by Chinese reporters when [Jinping] visited. They didn’t actually have a lot to do, so they all came and saw our Chinese collection, and for six weeks afterward we were flooded with articles from Chinese newspapers about the museum. It was the museum equivalent of a one-night stand.”

For the Morikami, the effects were more long-lasting. “From our point of view, the visit of [Abe] was very productive,” says spokeswoman

those depicting the “creatures” that have been prevalent in his work since he first got serious about painting more than a decade ago. While recovering from two shoulder surgeries in 2004-2005, he couldn’t play bass as hard as he’d like and instead turned to painting to channel his creativity. Unable to hold a brush well with an arm in a sling, he improvised, grabbing whatever was around to splatter paint on canvas. It was a process derived out of necessity that aligned perfectly with his natural approach to music and art. “I learned very little music theory on purpose,” he says. “I always want there to be wonderment in what I do. With painting, I don’t ever have a plan; the subject chooses itself. I pour all this paint on, sand and all kinds of crazy [stuff], moving the canvas while it’s wet. Then I stand back and let it reveal itself. When it shows up in front of me, it’s like, that was inside me? Most cool songs happen the same way. If you do it too long, it’s just enough time to ruin it.”

The creatures that have shown up on canvas are likely the byproduct of Newsted’s background as a metal guitarist combined with images floating around in his head of some of the artists he admires—Basquiat, Picasso, Pollock, Joe Coleman.

Harry Benson vividly remembers the moment his life changed.

A photojournalist toiling in the trenches, Benson was on his way to Africa to cover a news story when his editor from the London newspaper Daily Express called to inform him he was sending him to Paris with a rising pop band. The year was 1964, and the band was The Beatles.

That serendipitous union of photographer and ever-socharming subjects fast-tracked Benson’s career in a way he never could have imagined. His photos of The Beatles, including the legendary Pillow Fight, have become iconic works in the pop-culture canon, chronicling the meteoric rise of four young lads from Liverpool that essentially defined an era.

Capturing the right moment and telling a story through photography has been the hallmark of Benson’s artistic style. It has also led to his status as one of the most renowned photographers in the world. He has photographed every American president since Eisenhower and has covered major news events,

W

hen Bryan Walsh talks about art, his

passion is clear. Lucky for him, he gets to

live that passion on a daily basis, both as a

dealer and as a collector.

Well known in Palm Beach County for heading DTR Modern Galleries in Palm Beach, Walsh brings to his clients works by the greats in the modern and contemporary art world, as well as emerging artists he believes might become the Picassos of tomorrow. It’s a business that serves him well in his own personal endeavors as a collector. “Being in the industry is beneficial to me,” he says. “It opens my eyes to what’s new and gives me an inside track to the latest exciting artists.”

Born and raised in Florida, Walsh has spent the last 20 years developing an insatiable passion for art. “[Collecting] is addictive,” he says. “It snowballs and can take over.” His early works were mostly traditional landscapes he inherited from his grandmother. But as time passed, his taste changed dramatically, and his collection is now strictly modern and contemporary with some diversions into pre-Columbian pieces and other antiquities that “serve as a kind of counterbalance.”

His first must-have acquisition was a sculpture: Woman with Arms (1997). The striking classical piece with a contemporary slant by Colombian artist Lina Binkele was the start of what is now a collection of 150 works. “Wall space has reached capacity at my house,” laments the West Palm Beach resident. “I find I need to rotate pieces in order to be able to see them. I’m constantly playing musical chairs with my collection. If I don’t have the space, I give pieces to friends to enjoy.”

9/21/17 9:47 AM

Among his collection are household names like Warhol, Picasso, Koons, and Haring, as well as newer works he finds interesting. Walsh keeps his eyes open for up-and-coming talent and is always willing to meet artists recommended by friends.

“As a gallerist, emerging artists tend to come to you, and when I take someone on, I stand behind him or her 100 percent,” he says. “You never know what an artist might become, and that makes each day so exciting.”

The quality he looks for is a fresh voice or perspective that captivates. One person he is following at the moment is Brooklyn-based graffiti artist Christopher Florentino, better known as Flore.

Flore’s colorful canvases are covered with small notes with lettering and written messages that fill the work with energy and life as they appear to pop off the canvas.

There is a surrealist element to many of the works in Walsh’s collection, as seen in the nine iconic black-and-white Piero Fornasetti plates of the artist’s muse, Italian soprano Lina Cavalieri.

Artfully mounted together, each plate is centered in a black square frame, all within a larger frame.

Beneath sits Le Cabinet Anthropomorphique (1982) by Salvador Dalí, a small bronze sculpture of a man whose body is made up of small drawers.

“I’ve always loved the works of Dalí, Magritte, and other surrealist artists,” says Walsh. In the same room are two framed ceramic plates by Picasso and a graphic text-based piece by controversial street artist Thierry Guetta, a.k.a. Mr. Brainwash, suspected by some to be an alter ego of the elusive Banksy. In Keep Creating (2011), the Frenchborn, Los Angeles–based artist sets large white lettering against a black background to send a message: “Art cannot be criticized because every mistake is a new creation.”

A friend introduced Walsh to Slovakian artist Juro Kralik, who plays with illusion in Black & White (2015). Seen from the right side, the painting reveals the word “white” in large black letters embedded in a white background; from the left, the word becomes “black” in white letters on a black background. Nearby hangs a piece from Hunt Slonem’s rabbit series he started in the 1980s: Regine’s Black Diamond (2017). Slonem began using rabbits as subject matter after learning that the year of his birth, 1951, was the Chinese year of the rabbit. And dominating one wall is Chuck Close’s

it joins Lagemann’s life-size male figure, Standing Ground (2012).

Inside the home are more works by the Miami resident, including Devotion (2011), a large male torso that rises from a white pedestal near the staircase.

The garden’s tropical plantings create a magical setting for the larger sculptures in Walsh’s collection. A geometric white metal piece by Florida artist Jane Manus, Parallel Planes (2015), stands at one end of the garden, while Matt Devine’s gracefully intertwining White Wedding (2017) rises like a swaying sheath of giant metal blades of grass against the vegetation. Walsh fell in love with Devine’s work the first time he saw one of his monumental pieces. “I knew I could not afford that piece, but I asked Matt if I could commission him to make a smaller version,” he says. He describes Devine’s Happy Shiny (2015), which sits on the coffee table in front of the fireplace in the living room, as resembling rolling tumbleweed with its many delicate, twig-like pieces of stainless steel.

Placed on various shelves and tables throughout the home are a number of interesting sculptures. A piece by Mexican-born Robert

Graham, Arm of Joe Louis (1984), is an extremely powerful sight. Suspended by rope from an iron frame, the tightly fisted, life-size man’s arm thrusts forward as if about to strike. Companion Black Colorway (2016)— an 8-inch-tall, half-human, Mickey Mouse–like character by Brian Donnelly—delights Walsh. “Donnelly, known as KAWS, started as a graffiti artist and has become very collectable,” he says. “I wish I had discovered him earlier. His paintings have quadrupled in value.”

As the art market reaches new heights, there will always be works that may be out of his reach. But for Walsh, it’s “the new and unexpected” that excites him about collecting. “I tell my clients that what they buy has to make them happy,” he says. “That should be the priority for all collectors, including me. And if you’re lucky, it may also turn out to be a good investment.” ‡

FIVE LOCAL ARTISTS CREATE ORIGINAL HOLIDAY DECORATIONS IN CELEBRATION OF THE SEASON PHOTOGRAPHY BY LIBBY VOLGYES

SUZI EDWARDS, WEST PALM BEACH

“This piece, The Night Before Christmas [at right], depicts several homes with glass windows and a decorated holiday tree. Inside the homes are people painted by my friend, British artist Paul Ian Hamilton, and in front of the largest house are a mother, son, and their dog. The mother is pointing to the sky as she sees Santa arriving.”

Materials: glass smalti, clear glass, beads, acrylics More about the artist: suzikedwards.com

AMANDA JOHNSON, DELRAY BEACH

“I was inspired by the colors of Florida’s tropical flowers. The idea was to fuse fashion, design, and fine art to evoke the joy of the holidays and not to make a typical green and red piece.”

Materials: mini canvas, acrylic paint, multi-purpose woven rope, pompoms, plastic beads, pink fringe, glitter More about the artist: amandajohnsonstudio.com 56 art&culture

BRUCE HELANDER, WEST PALM BEACH

“The process behind this piece was thinking about a non-denominational festive image that reflected the graphic imagery for which Florida is most famous: oranges. I cut apart a circa-1940s orange soda fountain display called ‘Heart O’ Orange.’

The word ‘Florida’ is from a vintage postcard, and the DayGlo images are pieces from a Florida carnival poster. There are a few other holiday snippets, such as Santa going down a chimney, holly, and a holiday tree.”

Materials: vintage printings, acrylics, glitter, wrapping paper More about the artist: brucehelander.com

AMELIA COSTA, WEST PALM BEACH

“I designed a hot air balloon, thinking about how the holidays are a representation of hope: for happiness, for new beginnings, for being our best selves. My process starts by coming up with an idea that will express what I am trying to convey. I usually surround myself with several different materials, and I start putting them together as I sketch.

Eventually, one of the ideas will become more interesting visually and that is the piece that is eventually chosen.�

SCENE BLUE PERSUASION

FISHERMAN’S JACKET, MORKAMI MUSEUM; SHIHOKU, FUNDED BY MEMBERS OF THE WISDOM RING

The Morikami celebrates Japan’s rich history with aizome in Out of the Blue: Japanese Indigo Textiles. The new exhibit comprises samurai jackets, firemen’s coats, kimonos, and more washed in the deep blue dye, a cultural practice that dates back to the sixth century. Believing that indigo could ward off mosquitoes and snakes, farmers wore cotton clothing dyed with extract from the leaves of the tade ai plant—and the rest, as they say, is history.

BITES GREEN GOURMET HARVEST SEASONAL GRILL & WINE BAR

LIBBY VOLGYES

“Healthy indulgence” is the theme of Harvest Seasonal Grill & Wine Bar. Working with 75 local farmers who produce sustainable, non-GMO ingredients, the restaurant offers menu items not found in the usual farm-to-table establishments. Most dishes have fewer than 500 calories and include wood-fired steak, poultry, and seafood along with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. In the beverage category, there are more than 50 wines by the glass, seasonal cocktails, and local craft beers.

Design elements like recycled glass countertops support the green theme. 1841 S. Federal Highway, #402, Delray Beach, harvestseasonalgrill. com, 561.266.3239 —Mark Spivak

THE BUTCHER SHOP BEER GARDEN AND GRILL Inspired by the original location in Miami’s Wynwood district, father and son team Igor and Fred Niznik set out on a mission to “bring the beef to West Palm Beach.” Their concept is a unique blend of sit-down restaurant and outdoor beer garden, along with a retail butcher counter where clients may order custom cuts of meat to go. The beef is Certified Angus Prime, and the organic poultry is free of hormones and antibiotics. Seated customers choose from a menu that includes charcuterie, burgers, pierogies and a jumbo Bavarian pretzel to accompany their beer. 209 6th St., West Palm Beach, butchershopwpb.com, 561.812.2336 —M.S.

MAZIE’S Local foodies have been buzzing ever since they learned Chef Eric Baker, most recently of Max’s Harvest in Delray Beach, is opening a restaurant with former Café Boulud general manager Jason Lakow. Located in the former Gulf Stream Bistro on South Dixie Highway’s Antique Row, Mazie’s is slated to open in December. “We’ll be serving the type of food we grew up with in New York,” says Lakow, whose wife, Sandra, will serve as the sommelier. “It will be New World comfort food rooted in Old World tradition, with dishes like brisket and prime rib.” The restaurant is named for Baker’s grandmother, who emigrated from Europe to Brooklyn in the nineteenth century. The trio is aiming for a casual, neighborhood vibe, with a heavy reliance on locally sourced ingredients. When fully operational, Mazie’s will serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. 3815 South Dixie Hwy., West Palm Beach —M.S.

“I’m drawn to private moments and sense of place found within the delicate layers of the wetlands,” says photographer Jerry Rabinowitz, who came upon this blue heron at Wakodahatchee Wetlands in Delray Beach.

The image is part of a series he shot for his fine art book, Created Waters, and captures, as he describes, “the shadowed heron patient in its quest.” See more at jrabinowitz.com/ createdwaters —Michelle Lee Ribeiro
