ARTISTRY, BENTLEY, & CHIANTI

THE WORLDS OF FINE ART AND FINE VEHICLES became one during a private Sunday brunch event at Braman Bentley Palm Beach. This past January, the doors of the exquisite showroom located at 2801 Okeechobee Boulevard were opened for guests to enjoy a curated buffet provided by Sandy James Fine Foods, and browse works of art—both automotive and otherwise—from noon to 2:00pm.

The distinguished luxury vehicles produced by the Bentley Motors facility in Crewe, UK. are often compared to works of art by Club Braman members.

The elongated swooping fender lines, high-quality craftsmanship, and literal billions of bespoke combinations owners may elect mean each and every Bentley is a venerable self-portrait of its driver. Of course, the fit with hand created pieces of artistry was a natural one.

Five local artists’ work was on display, as well as historic selections from the Fine Arts Conservancy restoration lab. As Club Braman invitees tickled their taste buds with bagels and lox, mini honey-chicken waffles, lobster rolls, and top round roast beef sliders, their eyes took in masterworks produced by Mehri Danielpour, DUAIV, Carol Calicchio, Peter Hansen, and Melissa DelPrete.

The soft soundtrack throughout the event came courtesy of pianist Mark Bornfield, and the requisite brunch bubbles available through the open bar included Charles Heidsieck Brut Reserve champagne, CrossBarn by Paul Hobbs Chardonnay, Sonoma Coast 2020, and Tolaini “Vallenuova” Chianti Classico 2019, curated by Master Sommelier Virginia Philip.

Bronze sculptures, abstract and impressionist paintings, and photorealistic landscapes were all on display throughout the showroom, juxtaposed with Bentaygas, Continental GTs, and Flying Spurs of all colors. Attendees could meet with the artists themselves to discuss their personal history and inspirations, as well as choose which new Bentley would look best in their driveway. Between the wine, delectable bites, gorgeous artwork and peerless motorcars, guests were treated to an inimitable experience which undoubtedly set the tone for the rest of the coming year.
