Looking Forward
Daphne Nikolopoulos
CAPEHART
November is always an exciting time of year. Not only is the weather cooling a bit, but our seasonal residents arrive in droves with great anticipation for the social season. And while we have no idea what “season” will look like this year (thanks, COVID), the past few months have taught us that we can be resilient and innovative in the face of challenges. There’s much to look forward to, and be thankful for, this month. In the restaurant world, exciting openings are on the horizon, including the Palm Beach outpost of La Goulue, a personal favorite. And some beloved spots that took a few months off due to the pandemic will be back this month. I look most forward to the return of The Regional on November 6. I literally dream of Lindsay Autry’s tomato pie. Cultural organizations may not be operating in their usual ways, but they’re presenting plenty of enrichment opportunities, both virtually and in safe social settings. And, as you’ll see in Insider (page 26), many of these organizations are experiencing changes in leadership that will bring a fresh outlook to the arts scene. At the top of my list this season is a visit to the Bunker, Beth Rudin DeWoody’s amazing art space in West Palm Beach. A constantly rotating exhibition of Beth’s vast collection, the Bunker always offers something new to see and be inspired by. Read arts writer Susie Stanton Staikos’ interview with Beth in “State of the Art” on page 70. This month we also turn the spotlight on photography, both through a Q&A with gallerist Jaye Luntz, who eloquently explains the ins and outs of starting a photography collection beginning on page 96, and in our cover story on Palm Beach native son Chris Leidy. If you’ve never encountered Chris’ breathtaking underwater photography, turn to “What Lies Beneath” on page 78 for a tantalizing glimpse. Authentically free-spirited, Chris travels the world in search of compelling sea life and marine environments, and in capturing their beauty he helps to promote their conservation. Given all the challenges the planet is facing now, we need this more than ever. Wishing you a safe and exciting season ahead.

INSIDER By Skye Sherman
Music MAKER You might not expect country music’s next big star to hail from Buffalo, New York, but Rhea Francani is out to surprise you. Now a performing arts teacher at Florida Atlantic University and a Boca Raton resident, Francani released her latest self-penned countrypop single in July following her debut album, Now or Never. The Columbia University–trained music educator has performed in wellknown venues across Nashville and opened for stars like Chris Janson, Maren Morris, and Big & Rich, but her classroom is her primary source of pride. “My students are very much a part of the process,” Francani says. “They actually voted for ‘I’ll Go’ to be released as the first single off my new album.” Next on the agenda? “I’ve been back in the studio recording more music, and I plan to release some new singles, an EP, and a full album soon.” (rheafrancani.com)

South Florida Science Center and Aquarium Following 10 years as president of the Science Center in West Palm Beach, Lew Crampton passed the baton to Kate Arrizza, who added the title and responsibilities of president to her role as CEO, which she has held for the past two years. Under Crampton, who will continue to serve on the board, the Science Center became one of the busiest in the nation when measured by visitors per square foot. Arrizza will now oversee all programs and operations, including the Science Center’s plan to double in size and build the fifth-largest aquarium in Florida by 2025. (sfsciencecenter.org)
Old School Square On a mission to rebrand and better tell the city’s story, Old School Square hired Shannon Eadon as its new president and CEO. She plans to raise awareness of the Delray Beach historic site and its cultural programming by implementing educational and outreach programs at schools, hospitals, nursing homes, and veterans’ organizations, among other initiatives.

Following its first full season in 1992, she was promoted to CEO. Today, fresh from a $40 million expansion, the Kravis Center is an integral thread of South Florida’s cultural fabric. (kravis.org)

ACCELERATION ACTIVATED The local minority-owned business scene is about to get an upgrade. Entrepreneurs participating in this year’s majority-minority accelerator cohort at 1909 in West Palm Beach will showcase their past six months of hustle this November at a hackathon-style event and pitch competition, where winning teams will receive funding for their startups. Below, we spotlight a few standouts.

LOCALS IN THE LIMELIGHT You can now catch Lake Worth Beachers Matteo and Julie Ferrer, founders of the shirt company Versattire, on television. I Quit, a new Discovery Channel series, chronicles a year in the lives of six sets of novice entrepreneurs who quit their day jobs to pursue dreams of business ownership. “Filming was such a fun experience,” Julie says. “For some of the footage, a professional crew flew down and filmed us for a few days at a time; the other 28
footage was self-shot on cameras provided to us. We hope that sharing our experience inspires others to follow their dreams, no matter the cost.” I Quit is available to stream on the Discovery GO app. (myversattire.com)

North Palm Beach blogger, PR pro, and woman-abouttown Cristyle Wood Egitto can now add author to her résumé. Egitto penned a 111 Places guidebook—a popular series providing the inside scoop from longtime residents—on her own stomping grounds. 111 Places in Palm Beach That You Must Not Miss, released November 9, “is the realization of one of my biggest personal goals,” Egitto says. “I’ve been a writer my entire life, and it was my dream to be a published author.” Between her history in the area (Egitto moved here in 1992) and on-the-ground work for her blog and Instagram account, Eat Palm Beach, Egitto is a bona fide expert on all things Palm Beaches.

Using skills handed down through generations, the women sew colored Czech glass beads into black cloth like a canvas to create abstract and figurative subjects. Ubuhle, which means “beauty� in the Xhosa and Zulu languages, describes the shimmering quality of light on the glass beads.

The legacy of Hollywood legend Marlon Brando shines at THE BRANDO, the South Pacific’s premier private island resort By Paul Rubio Rewind to the early 1960s when a young Marlon Brando arrived in French Polynesia to film Mutiny on the Bounty. The South Pacific had long piqued Brando’s curiosity, and his freshman trip to the island nation sparked love at first sight. By 1967, Brando had consummated his love affair with French Polynesia by purchasing Tetiaroa, a breathtaking atoll roughly 30 miles north of Tahiti,
049_ESCAPE_1120.indd 49
anchored by a lustrous blue lagoon and fringed by 12 palm tree–studded motus (islets), vibrant patches of coral, and countless white sand beaches. At his remote home away from home, Brando sought to preserve—and even share—a piece of French Polynesia’s natural splendor and biological heritage by not only protecting the land but creating a world-class research station and the planet’s foremost carbon-neutral resort.

Fast-forward to present day when Brando’s dream project has materialized into something more elevated, high-tech, and highbrow than the movie star could have ever imagined. Brando didn’t live to see the fruits of his vision—he passed away in 2004—but he entrusted prominent hotelier and fellow environmentalist Richard Bailey to crystalize and execute his plans. The actor’s legacy now flourishes at Brando’s family estate vis-à-vis a hyper-exclusive and eco-minded private island resort, The Brando, on the motu of Onetahi, complemented by the other safeguarded islets of Tetiaroa, which remain completely untouched. What makes The Brando so special—as in arguably best-island-retreat-in-the-world special? In a word: everything. From its profound history to its detail-oriented magic to a surreal, cinematic backdrop of extreme tropical exotica (rich in rare flora and fauna) and an unwavering sustainability mantra, this is ultra-luxury with a soul. Marlon Brando wasn’t the first or the last influ-

ential figure to frequent Tetiaroa. In fact, as far back as the eighteenth century, the atoll was a favorite of Tahitian royalty, according to oral history and evidenced by ancient structures and ceremonial sites that archaeologists have uncovered in recent decades. Beyond Brando’s 40-year relationship with his beloved Tetiaroa, regulars at his namesake resort read like a who’s who of popular culture: actor Leonardo DiCaprio, socialite Pippa Middleton, and former President Barack Obama, who began his post-presidential memoir, A Promised Land, on-island. Besides a glitzy title, the famous primarily flock to The Brando for the very same reason as other well-heeled travelers: to escape at their own pace. Home base is one of 35 eco-chic villas, which begin at a generous 1,033 square feet and seamlessly integrate into the native surrounds thanks to pandanus leaf roofing and building materials made of local or certified organic, renewable, or recycled components. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors ensure continuous spatial flow, opening to a vast private terrace inclusive of an infinity-edge pool, dining area, and swathe of sandy beach that is shared, at times, with nesting green sea turtles.

While it’s possible to fulfill a castaway fantasy without ever leaving the confines of the villa, most choose to maximize their time at The Brando discovering greater Tetiaroa. After all, one of Earth’s most dramatic blue lagoons beckons, explorable by kayak, stand-up paddleboard, va’a (Polynesian outrigger canoe), or mask and snorkel. The latter best reveals the atoll’s prolific coral gardens and marine life thriving therein (more than 167 species have been documented here). Undeveloped areas of Onetahi and surrounding virgin motus are also the subjects of daily naturalist-led tours. One specializes in birdwatching and photography as thousands of land and seabirds call islet Tahuna Iti home, including great frigate birds and red-footed boobies. Another promises a scenic lay of the land, while yet another focuses on the atoll’s pre-Brando origins, visiting the remains of an ancient Polynesian temple or marae. There are also regularly scheduled cultural experiences like Polynesian dance classes, ukulele lessons, and traditional weaving sessions. Activities are bundled into The Brando’s all-inclusive rate, as are meals, libations, and treatments at Varua te Ora Polynesian Spa. Enjoy a romantic dinner in the privacy of your villa or interact with the chef at intimate Japanese teppanyaki restaurant, Nami. Sample fine French cuisine at Les Mutinés, fraternize with fellow guests over daytime tiki cocktails at the beachfront Bob’s Bar, or feast on Polynesian fish dishes at toes-in-the-sand Beachcomber Café. The Brando’s guests have complete liberty to make their days as action-packed or languid, scheduled, or spontaneous as desired. Immersed in this excess, it’s easy to forget that The Brando is nearing its goal of becoming fully
049_ESCAPE_1120.indd 51
BRANDO SUITES BORA BORA The Brando flaunts all one could covet in a French Polynesian vacation—everything except an overwater bungalow, that is. To curtail any FOMO (fear of missing out) one might have in the island nation that invented overwater accommodations, The Brando teamed up with The InterContinental Bora Bora Resort & Thalasso Spa to create four overwater
Brando Suites Bora Bora, the design of which mirrors The Brando’s own aesthetic. The four parcels of prime floating real estate deliver unobstructed vistas of Mount Otemanu, framed by brilliant turquoise waters. These million-dollar views are present from the master bedroom, private infinity pool, terrace, sundeck— just about every nook of the suite’s 3,465 square feet. Special packages allow guests to visit both The Brando private island plus its sister overwater suites. (thalasso. intercontinental.com; tahititourisme.com) PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | NOVEMBER 2020

carbon neutral and self-sustainable. Those villas, for instance, are part of a pioneering scientific experiment, cooled by a complex seawater air-conditioning (SWAC) system (fed by the cold of the ocean depths) and powered by solar energy generated from photovoltaic solar panels along Tetiaroa’s airstrip and coconut oil biofuel.

tion. Chat with a visiting researcher, attend evening lectures, or request a green tour to learn more about The Brando’s sustainability initiatives and the resort’s noteworthy Platinum LEED certification (the highest possible rating for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). It’s the earth-friendly ingenuity that realizes Brando’s vision for Tetiaroa; molding the South Pacific’s most exclusive resort was an afterthought. But together, it’s the best of both worlds—resolute environmental stewardship without compromising luxury. You can be sure Brando would be proud. (thebrando.com) «

MAYAN MAGIC
At Chablé Yucatán, discover a modern wellness retreat steeped in Mayan culture, Mexican history, and SELF-REFLECTION By Paul Rubio
From top: The spa at Chablé Yucatán is anchored by a serene cenote; an outdoor rainfall shower is just one element of each villa’s stunning bathroom. 54
Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula is best known for its prolific sparkling beaches, but some of its greatest treasures lie inland. Case in point: Chablé Yucatán, a stunning, 40-villa, 750-acre wellness retreat on the grounds of a former sisal plantation in the blink-and-you-mightmiss-it Mayan town of Chocholá. Born from the ruins of a nineteenth-century hacienda, the high-design hotel mingles glass elements with archaeological remains alongside colorful, colonial-inspired structures.
Chablé’s freestanding casitas and family villas are emphatically modern and minimalist, framed by limestone and dark woods and homing in on the beauty of the surrounding natural foliage. Lush gardens and crystal walls foster an impression of jungle immersion indoors, especially within the expansive bathroom, where double sinks and rainfall showers appear to nurture the earth from which the plants grow. Outdoors, a white linen hammock sways over each casita’s private swimming pool and a

shaded daybed offers respite from the blazing Mexican sun. At the property’s core lies a jungleclad cenote (limestone sinkhole) around which a world-class spa has been erected. With 14 treatment rooms, a full-scale fitness center, a temescal (traditional Mayan sweat lodge), an advanced hydrotherapy circuit, and an exquisite marble infinity pool, the Chablé Spa comprises the heart and soul of the property’s wellness philosophy. Treatments and ceremonial rituals are rooted in Mayan tradition and the healing powers of the sacred cenote. Between these culture-infused experiences, meditation sessions, sunrise yoga classes, and other endeavors in holistic healing, physical rejuvenation, and mental cleansing, it’s not uncommon for guests to visit the spa twice or thrice daily. Contrasting the contemporary casitas and fashionable spa, property grounds are strewn with vestiges of the site’s nineteenth-century incarnation: Original rock-hewn archways remain, as do remnants of stone buildings, many now overgrown by snaking tree roots. The dramatic juxtaposition of old and new climaxes at Ixi’im, Chablé’s signature restaurant helmed by acclaimed chef Jorge Vallejo, whose Mexico City restaurant, Quintonil, was named one of the world’s best. At Ixi’im, glass panes complete an original hacienda building, embedded in unfinished stone, illuminated by high-tech lighting and a subterranean firepit at the entrance. Inside, the 200-year-old, black-and-white-tiled floors have been restored to their original grandeur, while decorative sisal ropes hang from the ceiling, nodding to the past, and shelves
054_Quicktrips__1120.indd 55
showcase the restaurant’s 3,000-plus vintage tequila bottles spanning centuries. (This is, in fact, one of the largest private tequila collections in the world.) The cuisine incorporates Mayan techniques and ingredients, Michelinstar prowess, and a health-conscious slant resulting in memorable dining experiences that are a testament to chef Vallejo’s global fame.
Other meals at Chablé are enjoyed primarily at Ki’ol, a more casual poolside restaurant that Vallejo also oversees. Of course, you could leave the premises to dine or engage in other activities; Yucatán’s historic capital city of Mérida, its international airport (serviced by direct flights from Miami), and archaeology headliners like Uxmal are an average of an hour away. But the sublime food, zen vibe, and enticements of the hacienda make it difficult to justify ever leaving the property. Plus, the entire point of Chablé Yucatán is to escape the world outside and discover—or rediscover—your personal mental and physical best.

At Acqualina, safety protocols pave the way for EXCLUSIVE new experiences By Daphne Nikolopoulos The need to distance and be vigilant about safety doesn’t exactly make for a relaxed vacation. But it can also be an opportunity to innovate, as Acqualina Resort & Residences in Sunny Isles Beach has proven. Acqualina has implemented some of the highest safety protocols in the industry, including electrostatic disinfectant tools for sanitizing interior and exterior spaces, and contactless temperature stations in public areas. Guest rooms are equipped with personal protective equipment in chic, portable packages, and high-touch items like remotes are sanitized and wrapped for individual use. Hand sanitizer dispensers are everywhere, pool and beach furniture is distanced, and service staff Social distancing made chic (clockwise wear masks and gloves. from above): Breakfast in bed; a hammock For a AAA Five Diamond resort, that’s for one; private beach dining and picnicking; room service with a view. just standard. Acqualina has gone well beyond the notion of safety by making social distancing a luxurious endeavor. Alfresco dining has reached a new level of ex- under the stars are served with rose petals, sea clusivity through private beachfront dinners, breezes, and a soundtrack of waves lapping which allow guests to have the seaside lawn all the sand. The menu features shareable appeto themselves. Equally suited to romantic tête- tizers plus three courses, including a pistachioà-têtes and family dining, these candlelit meals crusted sea bass guaranteed to elicit cravings for months afterward. At lunchtime, the best option is a picnic hamper with Champagne and an impressive lineup of antipasti, salads, cheeses, tuna poke, cookies, and, naturally, chocolate-covered strawberries. It comes with a blanket you can spread out anywhere along the lawn, pool, or beach (or on your suite balcony, for that matter). The property has plenty of private nooks for the ultimate distanced experience. The Spa has its own COVID-19 prevention guidelines, including reduced capacity and extra time between treatments to properly sanitize the rooms. Some of the communal spaces 56
are not yet open, and staff wear appropriate PPE for the guests’ protection—so there’s no excuse for not indulging in a spa day. Acqualina’s facials are some of the most advanced anywhere. The Brightening HydraFacial MD, for example, grants an instant antiaging boost through lymphatic drainage, Britenol spot corrector, and LED light therapy. Kids get their own exclusive activities through the AcquaMarine Kids Club. Families can reserve a 90-minute private camp session for up to five children, during which campers will discover the ocean and its creatures through hands-on activities outdoors and in the clubhouse, all while having the full attention of counselors. The idea is to go over and above on safety, so guests don’t have to think about it and can focus on the good life instead. How novel. (acqualinaresort.com) «

Thrills of THIRROUL
RED CARNATION HOTELS
Natalie Le Clerc, general manager of The Chesterfield Hotel Palm Beach, lives in West Palm Beach, but her roots are in Thirroul, a picturesque seaside town on the southern coast of New South Wales in Australia. Le Clerc loves to travel and has visited more than 55 countries. She has spent the last 24 years living around the world—but she always makes an effort to return to this meaningful spot an hour outside Sydney. When visiting Thirroul, LeClerc stays with family, but this hospitality professional also appreciates a good hotel, especially when remaining closer to Sydney. Her top recommendations in the area include the Conrad, the Shangri-La Hotel, the Ovolo Woolloomooloo, and the Pullman Quay Grand Sydney Harbour, which boasts the perfect view of the Harbour Bridge. When in Thirroul, Le Clerc spends her days jogging, relaxing at cafés, and taking in the beautiful beach and mountain scenery. —Alexa Becker
VIBE Scenic, beachy, and quaint HOW TO SPEND A FREE MORNING Walking on the beach or cycleway. WHEN TO GO October, which is the end of our springtime, through April, so all of summer and the start of autumn. The weather is warm and there is plenty of sunshine to enjoy the beaches.
Thirroul Plume
A SOLO ADVENTURE Walk over the Seacliff Bridge. It’s a suspended road that seamlessly serpentines over the coastline. If you make a day trip here, you can visit the Figure 8 Pools on your way. WHERE TO SHOP Boutique shopping in Thirroul is a must. I really love Plume (plume thirroul.com.au), which has a mix of unique and sophisticated women’s fashion and accessories, but also relaxed, easy-to-wear pieces made from natural fibers. AN ALFRESCO ACTIVITY Go to Sublime Point for a 180-degree view over the sea, rainforest, and beaches that span the coastline to Wollongong. 58

BEST SEAT IN TOWN Headlands Hotel’s bar (headlands hotel.com.au) has the best view of the ocean because it’s right off the water. The bar has a wide range of beers, a unique selection of cocktails, and a wine list featuring a variety of local and international wines. There’s also the Beer Garden, which has foodie pop-ups and live acoustic music on the weekends. LOCAL DISH TO DREAM ABOUT The Earth Bowl from Earth Walker & Co. (earth walkerco.com). It has a housemade buckwheat falafel with beetroot hummus, roasted local maple pumpkin, seaweed, poached eggs, quinoa, avocado, greens, and deliciously fresh sourdough bread with nuts and seeds. It’s to die for and super healthy. A CULTURAL EXCURSION Catch a show at the iconic Anita’s Theatre (anitastheatrethirroul.com). GUILTY PLEASURE Spending the day at the Ibah Spa (ibah spa.com.au). I love getting the Balinese foot massage along with a relaxing bath and a 60-minute relaxation massage or a botanical facial.

The Sound Of SILENCE
Rolls-Royce unveils an all-new GHOST with a single-minded focus on keeping the noise down By Howard Walker
Rolls-Royce once claimed that at 60 mph, the loudest sound you heard in one of its cars was the ticking of the electric clock. Fast-forward to today, and the loudest sound you’ll hear in the all-new 2021 Rolls-Royce Ghost won’t be the clock—it went digital years ago—but a whisper. It seems that during the six-year development of this superlative, new-from-the-tires-up 2021 Ghost, engineers have managed to achieve close to the impossible: a cabin that is completely silent. There’s no engine noise. No wind noise. No tire roar. No nothing. Silence is golden, right? Think again. When they asked a group of owners to try out this no-noise interior, they were less than enthusiastic. They found it too disorientating, just too ghostly. Like wearing Bose noise-canceling headphones while driving. The solution? To give the Ghost the merest hint of a “whisper.” Rolls describes it as a soft undertone that you hear as a single, subtle note. Kind of like the sound of a kitten sleeping. Or Marcel Marceau screaming at the top of his lungs—miming, of course. To achieve this whisper, Rolls-Royce had to acoustically tune pretty much every component, from the seat frames to the trunk space to the inside of the air-conditioning ducts. They also squeezed in more than 200 pounds of sound-absorbing materials throughout the car, even lin-
ing the tire interiors and double glazing the windows. Contributing heavily to the stealthy silence is the Ghost’s all-aluminum chassis. It’s a development of the so-called “Architecture of Luxury” first used on the flagship Phantom. Previous Ghost models rolled on a modified BMW 7-Series platform, which was good but not quite up to Rolls-Royce standards. This version allows the Ghost to offer— for the first time—four-wheel drive and rear-wheel steering, two major pluses guaranteed to heighten driving enjoyment. While this Roller’s elegant, stately profile seems almost unchanged from the 2009 original, only two components were carried over. One is that iconic Flying Lady, the other the trademark door-mounted umbrella. Everything else is new—and improved. The body is smoother, the lines just a tad softer, with fewer creases and body-panel joints. Ghost aficionados will also notice the new-look grille. It’s even more distinctive than before; a little less inset, and, for the first time, it features very cool down lighting. Twenty LEDs set underneath the top ever-sodelicately illuminate the stainless-steel blades, giving the car a unique lighting signature. Swing open one of those bank-vault-like doors and you’ll see the interior has beautifully evolved. In keeping with the growing trend

of less is more, everything from the stitching to the wood finishes to the leather on the seats is just a little less fussy. That tenet doesn’t quite apply to the dashboard, which comes with a stunning illuminated fascia. Designed to echo the Ghost’s sparkly Starlight headliner, the passenger-side dash panel features LEDs that shimmer around the Ghost logo. Beneath that mile-long hood, the Ghost’s honking 6.75-liter V-12 stays essentially unchanged, delivering 563 galloping horseys and a locomotive-like 627 lb-ft of torque. To complement that eerie interior silence, Rolls engineers gave this Ghost an even smoother, more stable
ride, achieved in part by a new front suspension design. Rolls claims, rather ambitiously, that it creates a “sense of flight on land” never before achieved in a car. We can’t wait to try it out. The wait shouldn’t be long. Production has already kicked off in the United Kingdom, with the first U.S. examples expected to arrive in the first quarter of 2021. Pricing starts at $332,500. The Ghost has been the marque’s most successful model in its 116year history, attracting a new generation of younger buyers—average age is now 43—drawn to a slightly smaller, more driver-focused model. Expect this new Ghost to continue that success. Just don’t expect the company to shout about it. Everything they do these days is with a whisper. «

Dutch TREAT
Zeelander’s exquisite Z55 proves that superyachts don’t have to be huge By Howard Walker
62
L
ife, they say, is too short to own an ugly boat. How many times have you groaned in horror at some top-heavy, Whirlpool-white, floating RV and asked yourself, “What were they thinking?” Thankfully, all it takes is one fleeting glance at the Dutchbuilt masterpiece that is the Zeelander Z55 to know all’s well with the boating world. Those voluptuous curves, that towering flared bow, those truly elegant proportions? Just gorgeous. Call it retro if you will. Yes, there’s a touch of Hinckley-esque Maine lobster boat in the profile. Plenty of roaring twenties, high-speed New York commuter in that rounded transom. But beneath those classic cues is a thoroughly modern mini-superyacht brimming with the very latest technology, some of the coolest design touches around, and a whole lot of best-of-the-best craftsmanship. Think of an aquatic Bentley Flying Spur and you’d be on the right track. One of my favorite features? All that teak brightwork edging the deck and pilothouse. Yes, it’s a nightmare to maintain, but gorgeous nevertheless. Only it’s not teak. It’s a tough-as-nails composite, hand-painted by a Dutch artisan in true trompe l’oeil tradition. I defy you to distinguish it from the real thing. I also love the tender garage. With Volvo Penta IPS drives mounted at the stern, there’s no space for conventional tender storage. Zeelander’s solution? To have a power-lifting panel on the starboard side of the hull. Raise it, and the Williams 285 Jet Tender slides out on rollers and launches itself. Zeelander has been building this 55-footer since 2016, but has continued to evolve the specs. The latest version—this flag blue–hulled

If ever a boat was designed for the Florida lifestyle it’s this. The open back deck offers a huge seating area for eight, with a table that lowers to make a sunbed. At the press of a button, the transom hinges backward to create a large swim platform. Speaking of pressing buttons, another will lower the curved glass window separating the aft deck from the galley. Here there are three fixed barstools at the ready for those sunset cocktails. Step into the shade of the air-conditioned pilothouse to enjoy raised sofa seating around the central dining table, and 360-degree views for everyone. Just like that Bentley, the sunroof also opens up, ideal for a little nighttime stargazing. Below deck there’s a trio of cabins. The master is amidships and, amazingly, boasts 6 feet 7 inches of headroom and a bed that measures 6 feet 10 inches long. (Remember, the Dutch, on average, are the world’s tallest people.) Up in the bow is the spacious VIP suite with a bed set on the diagonal to increase the usability of the floor area. Next to it, to starboard, is a compact twin-bunk cabin that’s perfect for kids. Talking of kids, the lack of handrails around the deck, or a pulpit on the bow for safe anchor handling, would be my only concern. But as every Zeelander, from the “starter” 44 to the best-selling 72, is custom-built, anything is possible. And there’s no need to head to the company’s headquarters in Groot-Ammers, east of Rotterdam, to come up with your wish list. Earlier this year, Zeelander opened its new U.S. headquarters in Fort Lauderdale—naturally—with a full-time sales and service staff. As for pricing, the conversation starts at around $3 million. But as for owning the prettiest yacht on the water? That’s priceless. «

T
he 1920s-era building at 444 Bunker Road in West Palm Beach has seen its share of uses: first a toy factory and later a munitions facility. But since late 2017, it has been home to the Bunker—two floors of spacious art galleries, an extensive library of art-related books, and storage for some of the 15,000 artworks in Beth Rudin DeWoody’s eclectic collection. But don’t call the Bunker a museum. It’s an extension of DeWoody’s home; an art space where she can see and enjoy her collection and share it with others. “This is a great way to curate things from my collection, get it out of the warehouse, and just add to the art scene here,” she says. Though she maintains primary residences in New York and Los Angeles, DeWoody has been a keen observer of the South Florida art scene over the years. She purchased a home in West Palm Beach in 2000. Back then, DeWoody says, the local art offerings left her wanting more. “The Norton always had an incredible collection, but it had missed the boat on a lot of contemporary art,” she says. “It wasn’t great and the building wasn’t great, but I still loved going there.” Then, she says, the tides turned with the arrival of a new director at the Norton Museum of Art. “When Hope Alswang came she was determined to get a new building for the Norton, and I think that was a big game changer for Palm Beach. Tim Wride, the photography curator, and Cheryl Brutvan, the contemporary art curator, were starting to bring in some really great contemporary art.” DeWoody has exhibited pieces from her collection at the Norton and has developed a close relationship with the organization in the process. She serves on the Photography Committee, and in 2012 she established the bi-annual $20,000 Rudin Prize for photography through the support of the May and Samuel Rudin Family Foundation. The prize, named in honor of Beth’s father, Lewis Rudin, recognizes an emerging photographer who is on the leading Top left, from left: Black Painting Part 2, Paulo Nimer Pjota, 2017; Geno Pheno Painting: The Preservation of Symmetry in the Annihilated Pair, Keith Tyson, 2005; left sculpture, Untitled (Looking Up), Tom Friedman, 2012; right sculpture, Untitled, Takuro Kuwata, 2018.

edge of the field but has yet to land a solo museum show. “The first year there was Analisa Servan, who is now a very established artist,” DeWoody says of the prize’s first winner. This year, South African-born photographer KristinLee Moolman was awarded. “It’s so nice later to see how they develop,” DeWoody adds. BUNKER MENTALITY Unlike the Norton, where visitors can peruse art on display on a regular basis, those hoping to catch a glimpse of DeWoody’s vast holdings at the Bunker are relegated to appointmentonly visits on Fridays. Each year, house cocurators Laura Dvorkin and Maynard Monrow organize a new display. Guest curators are also invited to design exhibits in sections of the galleries. “It’s become more successful than I dreamed,” DeWoody says. DeWoody’s annual Bunker shows have captured the attention of the South Florida art 74
scene. The 2019-20 selections demonstrated the breadth of her collection, with photography making a considerable contribution. DeWoody’s husband, photographer Firooz Zahedi, curated an exhibit titled “Art in Architecture,” described as “a double dose of creative energy.” A series of photographs by Julius Shulman, Ezra Stoller, Bevan Davis, and Pedro E. Guerrero artfully illustrate innovative architectural designs of buildings around the world—including the idiosyncratic styles of architects and artists like Oscar Niemeyer, Louis I. Kahn, Daniel Libeskind and Richard Neutra, Pablo Bernstein, and Louise Nevelson. Another showstopper, the aptly titled “Herstorical Works on Paper” exhibit, featured pieces by women artists, including abstract expressionist Agnes Martin, Jamaican-born abstract painter and printmaker Mavis Pusey, abstract expressionist and figurative expressionist painter Elaine de Kooning, and photo-
realist and feminist artists Betty Tompkins and Judy Chicago. Sexuality was fully visible in “Fatale Femme.” Set behind a velvet curtain reminiscent of a fairground peep show, the exhibit featured images of overtly shapely female bodies and caricatures, including figures by notable artists such as Man Ray, Harry Benson, Diane Arbus, Barbara T. Smith, and Mickalene Thomas. In the first-floor gallery, Simon Watson’s “Inner Space/Outer Space” exhibit teased out the commonalities amid the diversity of DeWoody’s collections. He included more than 75 paintings, sculptures, and photographs that touched upon two interconnected themes: our inner world and the universe around us. CURATING AND COLLECTING Even the themes in Watson’s Bunker exhibit don’t do justice to the vast array of works DeWoody has in her collection. A look at her

eclectic assemblage makes it hard to spotlight just one genre or medium of art. “I do love drawings,” she admits when asked to play favorites. “My first real piece was a drawing. I love the hand of the artist early on when the ideas germinate. That’s always been appealing to me.” She still owns that first piece—a drawing of sharecroppers by Benny Andrews, an African American artist who is descended from a South76
ern sharecropping family. DeWoody was in the eleventh grade when Andrews taught art at The New School in New York City, and she enrolled in his class and later bought some of his drawings and paintings. DeWoody has recently seen previously overlooked African American artists and African artists in the diaspora gaining more attention by way of a catch-up after years of not having their

day—and she’s passionate about continuing to amplify those marginalized voices. As a follower and collector of the late African American artist Jack Whitten, DeWoody says she appreciates his innovative work across a career that spanned more than four decades. When the Taubman Museum in Roanoke, Virginia, proposed that DeWoody mount an exhibition of what she calls her “greatest hits,” she declined, suggesting an exhibition of artists of color from her collection instead. “When I collected, I had no idea what their color was, where
070_DEWOODY_1120.indd 77
Miami, the more robust the community of up-and-coming artists. “As neighborhoods gentrify, traditional artists’ studios get replaced by developments that outprice the rents young artists can afford.

She encourages young people to get involved. “A lot of younger people are intimidated going into galleries and reading about the prices of art.” She recommends going into galleries, speaking to the person behind the desk, asking questions, and attending art fairs. “There are affordable art fairs and young galleries where you can find art for under a thousand dollars.

s an acclaimed underwater photographer who travels the globe capturing impossible images of everything from whale sharks to whelks, Chris Leidy has found the COVID-19-induced ban on international travel to be particularly hobbling. To keep his creative juices flowing, he’s been developing new techniques and experimenting with environmentally friendly inks. “I create different colors in a bottle and drip them into the ocean and start shooting,” he says of the “Water Ink” images he’s been posting on Instagram during the pandemic. “As they dissipate, they create these beautiful, kind of rolling colors.”

“
I love to be able to photograph something from a far-off destination—a little speck of paradise somewhere in the middle of the ocean.” It’ll do in a pinch, but it’s not Leidy’s usual MO. On a normal day, you’d find him in a remote location, camera in hand, embarking on his next waterlogged photo shoot. But today he’s on Long Island, having just driven his 1973 Volkswagen bus north from Palm Beach. Tomorrow he’ll head out to Martha’s Vineyard. Next, he’s thinking of “doing a big loop, maybe over to Yellowstone.” Even on dry land, 38-year-old Leidy embraces a certain kind of unplugged, nomadic wanderlust. “I love to be able to incorporate stepping off the grid into my life routine,” he confesses. “I love to be able to photograph something from a far-off destination—a little speck of paradise somewhere in the middle of the ocean—and then to actually come back and show people what I just witnessed.” Once pandemic restrictions have been lifted and travel is reinstated, Leidy says he’ll be back in the water (“probably in Bali,” he muses) with his dive gear and camera in tow. That’s just where he feels most comfortable. “It’s all uncontained when you’re underwater,” he explains. “It’s all just a moment drifting by you. That’s kind of what I like about it, to be honest. Just the uncontained and the rawness of it.” That rawness includes both the beauty and the fragility of the world’s marine ecosystems. Leidy says that in his line of work, you can’t help but notice destruction and pollution. Still, his focus is on presenting images that inspire, not frighten. “My work helps people see what is under the water, which will hopefully spark their desire to protect it,” he says. “Every reef around the world is declining in its own little way. I feel that if I just focus on the beauty of it, that will highlight the fragilities of it as well.” Leidy’s newly published first book, The Coral Triangle (Assouline), does just that, chronicling nearly a decade’s worth of images he captured while diving in the massive region that

stretches across a 2-million-square-mile coral reef network. From Indonesia to the Philippines to the Solomon Islands, the area contains 30 percent of the world’s coral and boasts more fish and coral species than anywhere else on earth. “Everything there is just so plentiful—the abundance and the color and the light,” Leidy says, “It’s just all-around beautiful.” For Leidy, the book and its more than 100 images are a way to share his experiences with a broader audience. “When I’m diving, 90 percent of the time I’m alone,” he notes. “The next best thing to having somebody there with you is to show your experience on the actual paper and be like, ‘Look what I was just blessed with seeing.’ You can sometimes see a spark in them; you can see them being intrigued and wanting to know more about it, and then the questions start to come. It’s just this whole dynamic you get from people just by sharing, which I love.” While some underwater photographers focus on taxonomy and reality, Leidy’s lens is more abstract. “I love to curveball the eye of 82

Her DNA pulsing through my own veins is enough in itself to keep the drive alive.” my onlooker so they start to ask, ‘What is that? Where is that? What am I even looking at?’ I love to question the mind’s eye a little bit. I like to take something like a piece of coral and then say, ‘All right, I want my people to not see and know that I’m looking at a piece of coral. I want it to look like a fricking tree or something.’” That whimsical lens comes from nowhere strange. The grandson of fashion icon Lilly Pulitzer (known for her imaginative designs) and publishing scion Peter Pulitzer (known for his pioneering panache), Leidy carries the spirit of his family with him, no matter how re-
mote his next photo shoot destination may be. “I still get inspired by the voice of Granny in my head,” he says. “Our past conversations very much still inspire me. Her DNA pulsing through my own veins is enough in itself to keep the drive alive. She was full of whimsy, man. She was all about textiles and patterns and creating color. And that’s what I do as well. We’re very, very similar. She marched through her own world, to her own beat. And I’m swimming through mine with fins.” Leidy’s family connection is evident in more than just his lineage. Apart from his pho-
tographic body of work, there’s the network of tattoos that cover his body: On his chest, a peony with a capital L inside it for his grandmother. On his back, his grandfather’s portrait. On his arm, a lighthouse for his father. “I’ve got my brother. I’ve got my little nephew. My dogs. It all wraps around family and the pillars of my life.” There are also tattoos to commemorate Leidy’s many travels, including longitude and latitude coordinates. He admits there are “some randoms” sprinkled in as well. “As every person who wears tattoos, there are a number that don’t have any story

whatsoever. The tramp stamp and all that kind of stuff,” he says, laughing. From his personal life to his work life, it’s something Leidy does particularly well: mixing the sublime with substance. One of the things he’s most proud of in the new book is the forward, penned by Fabien Cousteau, another famous grandson; in Fabien’s case, the legendary Jacques-Yves Cousteau. Leidy calls their partnership on the project kismet. “There are a ton of things that the Cousteaus just know,” he says, pointing to a certain sciencebased gravitas that cerebrally explains what
078_LEIDY_1120.indd 85
Leidy’s photographs show through aesthetics. “To have that knowledge on paper put down to share with everybody, or highlighted by my art, it gives it a really nice balance.” Leidy says it’s this marriage of conservation and inspiration that is central to Coral Triangle and his photography as a whole. “I think you have two different kinds of opportunities to spread awareness. I’m not going to pretend that sometimes I don’t encounter a beautiful reef or big sea fan with a garbage bag wrapped around it,” he says, his voice growing somber. “But I want to focus on the beauty of what we
need to protect. I want to get my reader to a place where they see a photograph I took and they say, ‘God, that’s so freaking beautiful. How can we let that go?’” For Leidy, zooming in on optimism fuels him. And he hopes it inspires his audience as they flip through the pages of The Coral Triangle. “Let’s bring some beauty into this thing and show people what is actually out there that we need to protect,” he says. “I’m not here to motivate people to act out of fear and horror. I’m here to stand on the side of light.” « PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | NOVEMBER 2020

PHOTO FINISH CURATE A COLLECTION OF FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY IN A SNAP By Susie Stanton Staikos Photography by Jerry Rabinowitz These days, anyone with a smartphone can take a photo at a moment’s notice. But with museum collections and art fairs devoted to fine art photography, the medium is attracting serious collectors like Jaye Luntz. As a child, she grew up surrounded by the works at her parents’ gallery, the Holden Luntz Gallery on Worth Avenue. As an adult, she runs JL Modern Gallery, also on Worth, geared toward a younger clientele. PBI caught up with Luntz to get her tips for would-be photography collectors. PBI: What are the first steps in starting to collect photography? Luntz: The process usually begins by seeing an image that pulls you in emotionally. The beauty of photography is capturing a moment that actually occurred. The would-be collector has to understand that, unlike buying a painting, there are editions in photography that give multiple opportunities to collect something. It is important to educate yourself, and there are many resources. Starting a relationship with a gallery and having conversations with them can provide a wealth of knowledge. When galleries know the artists, they can pass on additional information. A gallery would educate you, keep you engaged with an artist, and give guidance in building a collection. 96

When collecting vintage photographs, you’re not necessarily going to find them in pristine condition. There may be some creases or silvering on the print. It’s part of the print’s history and rather like a patina. If you are fixated on the condition of a print, it may take you some time to appreciate the beauty of a vintage print. What about budget? It’s good to have a budget in mind, but it can limit you from seeing something extraordinary. Give yourself some space to breathe. What photography-related materials are collectible? Contact prints are really interesting and give you the opportunity to look into the photographer’s mind and see how their mind works and how they switch their focus. You can also see the photographer’s selection. It’s another way at looking at photography and giving you a narrative of the entire shoot. Sometimes the artist doesn’t want you to see the images that weren’t selected and won’t sell negatives because reproductions could be made that were never intended to be printed. An enlargement of a contact sheet can be more interesting. Anyone collecting photography should understand the foundation and the history of photography. To know how a print is made is really important, and to understand that before digital there was only one roll of film or your glass plate negative and you had to think about the construction of the image prior to taking it. Luntz at her West Palm Beach home in front of Bernard Faucon’s Chambres D’Amour portfolio, produced between 1984 and 1989.
What other resources might be useful to a new collector? It’s important to do your own research once you have fixed your mind on something. There are amazing online resources that will allow you to find out more about an artist through a Google search. There are books about the artists and some excellent online publications that provide more in-depth knowledge and discover a wide range of artists—like L’Oeil de la Photographie (Eye of Photography), Aperture, Dazed, and Artsy. Museums offer oppor98
tunities to see established collections, and art fairs showcase the different artists and genres galleries are offering. What should a collector know about editions? Like prints and lithographs, signed photography editions made during the artist’s lifetime are more valuable. There are also editions that are made posthumously. When it comes to vintage photography, it was not usual for photographers to think of their work as having fine art value, and they didn’t always produce editions.
How do you go from being a casual collector to building a serious collection? That’s when you switch from having an interest in photography to becoming a collector. Once you’re looking at it from a holistic perspective and want to incorporate important pieces of history along with beautiful fashion, a particular artist and another artist who may have studied with them and been directly influenced by them, I think that’s when you have a holistic understanding of the medium. That’s a really exciting point to get to. You’ve taken something that was an interest that aesthetically drew you in, to something that you’ve curated, and you can start to see the history right in front of you. Hanging a house becomes impor-

“
HANGING A HOUSE BECOMES IMPORTANT BECAUSE HAVING CERTAIN PIECES NEXT TO EACH OTHER AND THE DIALOGUE BETWEEN THE PIECES CAN BE SO INTERESTING.” tant because having certain pieces next to each other and the dialogue between the pieces can be so interesting. How two different artists influenced each other in their understanding of light or composition, or to see how two different artists may have captured New York from different perspectives, that’s amazing curation. When you have a relationship with a gallery, they can help you with the hang, give you that insight, and make you think differently. What is the best way to display and look after fine art photography? It’s important to protect against direct sunlight. I never put glass on a print, especially a vintage print as glass can break and damage an image. I always put UV Plexi on a work, which blocks out around 97-98 percent of harmful UV rays. It’s important to work with a good framer and to have a framer who you continually go to who gets to know what you have in your home. I personally like a more eclectic
096_LUNTZ_1120.indd 99
look, but others may prefer to use the same style frame. For a portfolio of prints, it’s best to have the same frame, especially if the prints are in a grid. In displaying works, I wouldn’t limit yourself to walls, in the sense that small framed pieces can become objects and can be set on stands or incorporated in bookshelves. Works on a wall will look like a gallery. When they are placed with objects there’s a sense of discovery that gives the display a more modern and contemporary look even with vintage prints. How should people approach merging their collections? When two individuals get to share a home and their collections, or one of the partners has not collected before, it’s time to sit down, have a talk, and explain each piece, the story behind it, the history, and how it fits into the collection. That develops a better understanding and appreciation of the works. It brings it alive and re-excites you about your collection.
When you collect pieces together, all of sudden it’s not only your decision. There’s another voice that might say, “No, this doesn’t work for me.” In my experience, if both partners don’t want the same piece and they bring it home, it comes back. What contemporary artists would you recommend to new collectors? Cathleen Naundorf; her work challenges the traditional expectation of fashion photography. Kimiko Yoshida is on the precipice of performance art. She paints her face and body during a four-hour ritual before photographing herself against different backgrounds influenced by French Baroque art. Her newest series, KyotoKimiko, uses traditional Japanese methods of printing on top of her self-portraits. Garry Fabian Miller is a camera-less photographer. His work is like a meditation. There should be a bridge between painting and photography in any collection. « PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | NOVEMBER 2020

Palm Beachers Danielle Rollins and Tom D’Agostino open their newly restored Art Deco pied-à-terre for a socially distanced dinner party By Kerry Shorr | Photography by Jerry Rabinowitz 100 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED
100_ROLLINS_1120.indd 100
10/7/20 1:14 PM
Danielle rollins and Tom D’Agostino hosted a small group of friends for an alfresco meal, complete with seaside chic decor.
L
ike most people, after the U.S. confirmed its first case of novel coronavirus on January 21, Palm Beacher Danielle Rollins began the process of adjusting to a “new normal” defined by face masks, social distancing, and self-sequestration. It wasn’t long before the fashion and interior designer and author of two entertaining tomes—including A Home for All Seasons: Gracious Living and Stylish Entertaining, released in September—was eager to reconnect, safely, with loved ones. Described as a natural-born entertainer by Veranda magazine, Rollins’ passion for hostessing materialized at an early age. She was still in preschool when she organized a tea party for her pint-sized pals using a Wedgwood tea set supplied by her grandmother, Mary Luella, a wellknown restaurateur who ran one of the best barbecue spots in Dallas. Rollins still remembers when the family matriarch told her, “To create an environment where guests can feel comfortable and have a good time is the mark of a good hostess.” Since then, Rollins has orchestrated thousands of grand and intimate functions, many of which are on display in her first book, Soiree: Entertaining with Style, including an elegant garden fête honoring the late fashion icon Oscar de la Renta. When the book was later published during her difficult divorce, Rollins waived it off with style in the introduction. “When life gets me down, the fastest way to get back up is to put on a swipe of lipstick and have a little soiree,” she wrote. Relishing the opportunity to entertain again, the lifestyle savant tossed an impromptu, on-the-cusp-of-season party for a small group of close friends at the recently reimagined Palm Beach pied-à-terre she shares with her boyfriend, printing and promotional products magnate Tom D’Agostino.
100_ROLLINS_1120.indd 101
D’Agostino had purchased the dilapidated Art Deco landmark, designed in 1938 by the iconic Palm Beach architect Belford Shoumate, on a whim as an investment property he and Rollins could jointly restore. Looking back, he’s happy he took the leap of faith. “It had so much possibility, and it lived up to its potential,” D’Agostino says. “That was our COVID project,” Rollins recalls with a laugh. “No, that was our COVID baby.” After months of cleanup and a project list that included the build-out of the second-floor roof terrace, which now boasts more than 100 areca palms and a four-hole putting green (“It’s great for contests like who can make the most hole in ones,” says D’Agostino), the house was ready to receive guests in grand style. For Rollins, who manages a rare immunodeficiency condition, keeping everyone’s health top of mind came first. To avoid gratuitous contact, she skipped traditional paper invitations. Instead, she texted an evite bearing a photograph of a swanshaped float adrift on the couple’s pool with a message that read: “Calling all social swans! Swing by for a sundowner with Danielle & Tom and stay for dinner.” PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | NOVEMBER 2020

Once the RSVPs rolled in, Rollins enlisted Tim Edwards (a “go-to” for memorable catering and impeccable staffing, she says) to oversee the menu. On the evening of the alfresco affair, the sky was brushed in soft hues of yellow, pink, and light blue. As friends and family began to arrive, everyone was offered a face mask in case they had forgotten theirs at home. Outside, behind a bar arranged with vivid flowers and hurricane lamps filled with honeycombed La Petite Abeille beeswax candles, a bartender shook up a signature cocktail. Rollins dreamt up the bespoke libation, made with Tito’s vodka, mint, ginger, blood oranges, and other citrusy ingredients, using flavors and fixings from her pantry. To kick the evening off, D’Agostino raised his glass in a toast to their guests’ health and to a future filled with wellness and hope. As if on cue, servers circulated with woven rattan trays filled with mini cheeseburgers, cheese puffs, shrimp cocktail, lobster claws, and pigs in a blanket. (“I love them,” says Rollins of the latter. “It’s kind of a joke.”) While some guests remained on the patio, others headed upstairs to the tropical, 2,000-square-foot roof terrace to drink in the sensational views and take on a round or two of putting competitions. For Sarah Wetenhall, an avid golfer who co-owns The Colony Hotel with her spouse, Andrew, it was one of the evening’s highlights. “I haven’t been able to play golf in a really long time,” she says. “Getting together with friends and having a putter in my hand was like the sun, moon, and stars had collided.” After the sun had melted slowly into the horizon, guests assembled at the eastern end of the terrace for supper. Rollins, who counts tablescaping among her favorite endeavors, used tablecloths fashioned from navy 102 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

blue linen and Samuel & Sons bouillon fringe, a loosely mixed arrangement of chartreuse and coral florals with sprigs of bougainvillea, and a scattering of seashells—a last-minute add that emanated a relaxed, “seaside nautical” feel. As everyone bantered about homeschooling and other COVID-related topics, servers set down plates of comfort cuisine from nearby BrickTop’s. Selections included heirloom tomato and avocado salad topped with local burrata and basil-grilled sourdough croutons, as well as pan-seared bistro chicken drizzled with beurre blanc sauce and accompanied with sautéed spinach and creamy whipped potatoes. Dessert was a scrumptious hot fudge sundae with homemade vanilla ice cream,
100_ROLLINS_1120.indd 103
sugar-roasted pecans, and fresh whipped cream. When the group tucked into the chilled indulgence, D’Agostino stood to make a final toast. “Growing up in New York City, I thought I had seen it all until experiencing Danielle’s gracious style of entertaining and Southern charm,” he said. “I love you. Cheers, everyone!” As the couple bid their guests goodbye from the doorway, someone asked Rollins what it was about party planning that she finds so fascinating. Without skipping a beat, she said, “It’s a magical process and you’re the stage director. But instead of re-creating the same performance night after night, I like to do a different ‘theater set’ and then figure out what’s going to happen. That’s the fun part.” «

TASTE LIBATIONS
Drip Drop
RALPH SMITH STUDIOS
Infusions are one of the best ways to enhance the aroma and flavor of spirits, but the process can often take hours or even days. Help has come from an unlikely source: the drip coffeemaker. For the past several years, mixologists have been using this technology to infuse cocktails in a matter of minutes. At III Forks in Palm Beach Gardens, a proprietary pour-over system is used to make Le Rendezvous (pictured) and Bee My Honey, which are on offer through the end of November as part of a seasonal cocktail list. “We create both cocktails tableside,” says proprietor Tommy Nevill. “Once one table orders it, everyone wants it.” Le Rendezvous is a combination of Rémy Martin VSOP, Licor 43, agave nectar, pineapple juice, and Angostura bitters. The ingredients are poured over pineapple, orange rind, and cinnamon. Nevill feels that the Rémy establishes a flavor foundation for the drink, while the agave nectar and bitters balance each other; the pineapple and orange rind lend a tropical appeal. “You don’t get as much intensity with this technique as with a normal infusion, but we wanted the flavors to be subtle rather than overpowering,” he explains. “We’re great believers in fresh ingredients, and we love experimenting and creating new experiences for our guests.” (3forks.com) —Mark Spivak

PBI: Why did you become a bartender? Fitzpatrick: I was running some billiards clubs in Manhattan, and we couldn’t serve alcohol [due to] a law left over from Prohibition. The owners lobbied to get the law changed, and I was suddenly tasked with building several bars. I was immediately fascinated with it: all the types of spirits and mixes, the different brands, and the social aspect of serving people drinks. How has the industry changed over the past 20 years? The biggest change is the growth in the required knowledge base. Years ago, you could get away with just slinging drinks and not knowing much about the ingredients. Today the world is more complex. Every state in the country has a distillery, there are literally hundreds of different labels, and bartenders are expected to be familiar with them. Do you have a favorite spirit? I’d have to say single malt Scotch. You have this tiny island of Scotland, which is packed with dozens and dozens of distilleries, each with a different style. Speaking more broadly, the entire category of whiskey is my favorite, and I teach classes on it. There’s tremendous variation between bourbon, rye, Canadian, Scotch, Japanese, and lots of lesser-known types. Can you describe the process of crafting a new cocktail? I’m better known for taking the classics and finding the ideal ingredients to

John Fitzpatrick, the “spiritual advisor” at The Wine Room in Delray Beach, has been a fixture on Atlantic Avenue for the past two decades. He moved to South Florida from New York City in 2000 and managed the bar at 32 East from 2012 until the restaurant closed in 2018. Here, he discusses his beginnings and what’s yet to come.

optimize them. My favorite is the Manhattan. I use Michter’s Small Batch Straight Rye, Dolin French vermouth, orange and mole bitters, and a tiny splash of French brandied cherry juice. What does the future hold? It’s a challenging career in the midst of a global pandemic, but I’m not going anywhere. I enjoy mentoring younger bartenders, and we have a team of 12 at The Wine Room; we were able to spend a lot of time together during the quarantine and work on recipes. I certainly don’t see myself in a cubicle or an office. Even though it may not return for a while, there’s nothing more energizing than a packed bar.

In September, Lionfish, a long-awaited modern seafood restaurant, opened its doors on Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach. Operating under a commitment to sustainable seafood practices, Lionfish centers its menu around local catches, including innovative takes on its eponymous fish, which is an invasive species in South Florida waters. Other standouts range from classic rock shrimp tossed in gochujang to a light and crispy yellowfin tuna pizza topped with a truffle-mustard aioli, shaved red onions, and micro shiso. Carnivores and vegetarians will also find something to like at Lionfish, namely the sliced Wagyu or giant king oyster mushrooms cooked tableside on a hot rock. (lionfishdelray. com) —Mary Murray

Julien Gremaud is shaking things up in the North County. The chef/owner of Avocado Grill in West Palm Beach and Palm Beach Gardens shuttered his PBG location in late August in order to usher in a new era and look for the eatery. On November 2, he’ll open Avocado Cantina, an upscale yet laid-back interpretation of a Mexican taqueria. “After a year that has been challenging in so many ways, it feels like the right time for a change,” says Gremaud. “We have done Mexican specials and nights in this location many times in the past and they are always very popular. Our concept and our food weren’t that far off, so we decided to go full force.” Although Gremaud has previously traveled to Mexico, he returned in recent months to study under a local chef in Puerto Morelos and Tulum. While there focusing on cooking and craft, he also explored the area for decor and even musical inspiration for the restaurant’s playlist. When it comes to the menu, Avocado Cantina will fuse Mexican techniques with local ingredients while maintaining a culinary style

familiar to Avocado Grill patrons. “We will keep the fresh lightness to our menu but also feature traditional favorites like enchiladas and quesadillas,” Gremaud explains. “I am excited about our chicken mole and churrasco. We’ll have a variety of innovative taco pairings as well. We will keep some Avocado Grill favorites on the menu and won’t abandon our vegan and vegetarian friends.” (avocadocantina. com) —M.M.

When Amici Market opened on Palm Beach in November 2010, it created a new hybrid concept: a gourmet market that operated like an upscale restaurant. Owners Bob and Gudrun Cuillo, also the proprietors of Livernano and Casalvento wineries in Tuscany, tapped local restaurateur Maurizio Ciminella (pictured) as their managing partner. Rooted in the community and familiar with the clientele, Ciminella was able to bring a hands-on level of personal service to the operation.

While white wines are often suggested with fish, powerful reds can also be a pleasant pairing.
OFF THE VINE
To Pair or Not to Pair?
When it comes to food and wine pairings, it’s often best to GO WITH YOUR GUT By Mark Spivak It’s one of the oldest ongoing debates: Which wine goes best with which food? The question itself presupposes that there is an ideal match, and the concept of food and wine pairing has been propagated by both the wine industry and generations of sommeliers—largely because it increases wine consumption. Recently, though, some wellinformed people have been claiming that the concept is a myth. The debunking process probably began with the 1989 publication of Red Wine with Fish by Joshua Wesson and David Rosengarten. Master of Wine Tim Hanni has gone further, proclaiming that food and wine pairing is based on a set of “delusions.” There’s some scientific evidence to back up his claim. We now know that the human tongue contains between 2,000 and 5,000 taste buds, and each of those harbors between 50 to 100 taste receptors; obviously, the range is so wide that no two people
can experience taste the same way. Here, we outline some of the leading myths. Foie gras and Sauternes are a classic, perfect match: If you think about it logically, it’s a terrible idea. Would you eat a chocolate éclair or a hot fudge sundae in the middle of a meal, between the fish and meat courses? If not, why compromise your palate with one of the sweetest wines on earth? It’s not exactly classic, either; the combination was unknown prior to the early 1960s, and the owner of Château d’Yquem reportedly doesn’t endorse it. A meal should progress from white to red and from lighter to more full-bodied wines: Not necessarily. Many professional wine tastings begin with full-bodied reds and conclude with whites so that the acidity in white wine can rejuvenate the palate. In dinner as in life, not everything is linear. A dessert wine should always be sweeter than the dessert it accompanies: Given

the intense concentration of sugar in many desserts, it’s almost impossible to find a sweeter wine to accompany them. This theory is based on the idea that food and wine should complement (rather than contrast) each other. At the end of a meal, when your palate is dulled by eating and drinking for several hours, some contrast is welcome. Certain foods are impossible to pair with wine: The culprits are asparagus, artichokes, brussels sprouts, broccoli, and cabbage, all of which have high levels of sulfur. While difficult, a match is far from impossible. Try acidic and herbaceous wines such as Gruner Veltliner, Sauvignon Blanc, and Vermentino. Looking for ways to improve your pairing experience? Try these common-sense tips. Drink what you like: You’ll be amazed at the results. If you’re a fan of big, powerful reds, you’ll discover they’re not bad with poached fish. If you’re at a loss, try to match
the weight and texture of the dish with the weight and texture of the wine. Make adjustments when necessary: A pinch of salt or a spritz of lemon will remove most of the bitterness from a dish and make a wine seem more palatable. When in doubt, drink Champagne: Here in the U.S., we tend to reserve Champagne for special occasions and only consume it before dinner; in France, they drink it all the time and throughout their meals. It has an incredible range of food pairings. Brut Champagne goes well with everything from caviar and oysters to fried chicken and macaroni and cheese. Rosé is perfect with spicy foods, duck, charcuterie, game, lamb, and steak. Remember that context is everything: Kendall-Jackson Chardonnay with the one you love can be magical. 1982 Château Mouton Rothschild with your worst enemy can easily taste like dishwater. «

DENA MULLEN
By Liza Grant Smith
Artistic MUSINGS For this eclectic space, Joseph Pubillones of Joseph Pubillones Interiors faced one of his most demanding clients—himself. Given his overflow of art and books, Pubillones decided to turn the second bedroom in his Rosemary Square condo into a den/library. “Everything in the room has been collected over time and recycled from my other homes, so it’s full of personality and memories,” he says. In a nod to the city vibe and nocturnal life of the area, Pubillones painted the walls in Sherwin William’s “Black of the Night.” The hue creates the illusion of space and also acts as a striking backdrop for his
115_HOME-1120.indd 115
Cuban-influenced artwork. “The result is mesmerizing, and the framed art comes to life as if they were lit windows in the night,” he notes. The largest piece, Tribulations of a Pope by Fernando Luis, hangs over the sofa, anchoring the room and giving it a grand scale. Accenting the art is a selection of gilt and sparkly accessories that add just the right amount of shine. As Pubillones points out, this is his favorite room in his home and by far the most used. “It provides me a cocoon, or a sophisticated antidote to the man-cave idea.” Palm Beach (josephpubillones.com) PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | NOVEMBER 2020

Keep your home healthy with these five simple purification strategies
CREATIVE COMMONS
«
1. FILTER YOUR AIR While opening windows or screened doors will provide increased ventilation and reduce airborne contaminants, it can be less than desirable given the South Florida heat. Another option is to filter the indoor air by upgrading the filter in your HVAC to the CDC-recommended MERV-13 or greater. For those not hip to filter acronyms, the MERV rating describes the filtration effectiveness. The higher the rating (it goes up to MERV-16 for homes), the greater percentage of smaller particles it filters out. It is these small particles that can remain intact and infectious in the air for hours if not removed. Call your HVAC provider to find out what level of filtration your system can support. Added filtration can be found in the form of a HEPA purifier. HEPA is used to describe filters that can trap 99.97 percent of particles that are 0.3 microns (what scientists have deemed the most penetrating particle size). Choose a model whose reach matches the square footage of the
room you place it in and leave it running continuously to maintain the highest level of air quality. The HEPA Silent technology used in Blueair’s products (Blue Pure 411 for small rooms, $120, pictured above) combines two filtration systems for more clean air at a faster rate and boasts a silent operation that consumes less energy than a lightbulb. (blueair.com)
«
2. CREATE A SHOE QUARANTINE While you’re keeping your hands safe with frequent washing and sanitizing, the bottoms of your shoes spend their day socializing with a variety of germs and bacteria. Stop those unwanted guests from showing up at your house party by creating a shoe quarantine inside your entryway. A container, like one of these handwoven seagrass baskets from Pottery Barn, makes a great time-out spot for your kicks when you come home. (potterybarn.com)
«
3. KNOW THE ESSENTIALS “Certain essential oils that contain naturally occurring high-monoterpene content have the ability to scour and scavenge both airborne microbes and oxidative free radicals, which are detrimental to our health and well-being,” says Cary Caster, a South Florida–based clinical aromatherapist. She recommends citrus oils, like sweet orange, lemon, or grapefruit, as they are naturally made of a large percent-
age of limonene and pine oil, which contains pinene. Both limonene and pinene have been shown in clinical trials to be effective in killing airborne microbes. Whole Foods carries Aura Cacia organic and pure essential oils. Be sure to opt for a nebulizing diffuser (one without water vapor or heat), such as the ArOmis Solum Lux Merus diffuser, as it maintains the oil’s integrity and provides the most concentrated delivery. (carycaster.com; aromis.co)

4. ADDRESS YOUR ACCOUTREMENTS There are plenty of things that you just can’t leave home without—and these are the same items that should be sanitized whenever you return. PhoneSoap has you covered. The company’s products utilize powerful UV-C light to kill 99.9 percent of household germs. Piggybacking on the success of their original PhoneSoap, which disinfects your phone, they have introduced HomeSoap. With 27 times the space, it uses the same technology to sanitize anything you can fit inside, including large tablets like an Apple iPad Pro. (phonesoap.com)
« 5. GET CLEAN BUT STAY GREEN Cleaning and disinfecting surfaces inside your home is a top priority, but it doesn’t require compromising your allegiance to green products. While some healthconscious products aren’t tough enough to kill all bacteria, there are a few green standouts that are wellequipped assassins. The Environmental Working Group utilized the EPA’s and CDC’s lists of recommended products to combat COVID-19 and cross-referenced
them with its own Guide to Healthy Cleaning to arrive at 16 effective and safe products. Seventh Generation, a company dedicated to plant-based ingredients without synthetic dyes or fragrances, has several items that made the cut, including the lemongrass citrus disinfecting wipes, bathroom cleaner, and multi-surface cleaner. Use them to practice routine cleaning of frequently touched surfaces such as tables, counters, door handles, light switches, sinks, and toilets. (seventhgeneration.com)

“Angela is just such a go getter.” Carol Barefield, and her husband Tom, have used Angela for multiple transactions as sellers and buyers. Carol came to Angela pretty frustrated. “We were looking for homes and finding nothing. I eventually filled out something on the Internet. I received a call from Angela immediately. I thought, who is this person?” Carol found Waterfront Properties and Angela Voland via one of Waterfront’s marketing websites. “I’d never heard of a ‘pocket listing.’ Angela had all these properties that hadn’t yet gone to the MLS.” Angela found and sold the Barefield’s penthouse. Years later, when the time came to sell the penthouse, Angela sold it in just two days.
“Singer Island is my home and previously I lived across the Intracoastal in the North Palm area. I know these areas intimately. I know what each property offers.” That’s the starting point of a process that sellers and buyers describe as efficient and seamless. “I’m very good at matching the right personality to the right property,” saving the seller and buyer time and energy. “I do a lot on my end to ensure my customers don’t have to.” The Connecticut transplant said once she gets a listing, she wants the seller to feel good about “letting me do everything.” Carol Barefield said, “My husband is happy to sit back and pay to have someone do the work. That’s exactly what Angela did.”
“We were out of town. She got there with a photographer, shot these great photos and soon after called to say, ‘I think I have a buyer.’” Angela then found and sold the couple a large waterfront residence where they continue to reside for a portion of the year. The Barefield’s experience isn’t a one off. This is the experience Angela and her marketing team at Waterfront consistently delivers.
Building good business relationships that almost always turn into friendships, Angela never really leaves her customers. Carol said, “We had our new home extensively remodeled. Angela found us all the people we needed.” The same good working relationships she maintains with buyers and sellers, she enjoys with fellow agents. “It’s exciting for me to find and sell properties, often before they hit the public market. With the combination of Waterfront’s marketing resources and the relationships I have built with top area brokers, I’m able to do just that.”
Start with the agent.
Look beyond the agent.
A full-time resident of one of the barrier island’s premier condominium properties, Angela focuses on Singer Island and mainland waterfront condominium sales. Heading into the fourth quarter of 2020, Angela has recorded over $27 million in sales, all of which were waterfront condominiums, Angela’s success is undeniable.
“Waterfront is as much a marketing firm as it is a real estate brokerage,” Angela said. “Between Waterfront’s Internet presence and our top notch digital marketing, I have 20 people behind the scenes marketing my sellers’ properties.” Waterfront Properties owner Rob Thomson said, “Angela’s secret is her preparation. What feels seamless, easy even, actually requires a ton of work on her part.” Asked to describe her intangible quality, Angela said, “Enthusiasm.” We agree.

We focus on lifestyles - not just homes. Are you a golfer? A boater? Do you like the downtown or city lifestyle or do you want a remote home on acreage? If you were to speak to our clients directly, they would tell you, above all else, that we are dedicated, resourceful, discreet and focused on problem solving. By focusing on you, we make sure that whatever home you buy or rent, it will be one you will continue to enjoy for years to come. We believe real estate is a long term, relationship based business, even in a virtual era.Over the last 8 years, we’ve refined and proven our processes for virtual home buying and selling programs and continue to support our clientele in this competitive industry.
When we moved here 10 years ago, we had a terrible experience with several part-time realtors that left us feeling helpless. After selling and existing our last company and moving to Florida, we got into real estate as we could see the holes and frustrations. With our entrepreneurial background, we set out to create consistent and customer focused buying and selling processes while building community and genuinely helping people. Anyone can find a property that meets basic criteria and any agent can open doors but how does that align with your short term and long term goals?

BALANCE By Liza Grant Smith
Triple PLAY
Those craving a one-stop shop for fitness can get their fix at SPENGA in Boca Raton. The studio’s unusual name is a nod to the three components (spin, strength, and yoga) that make up every hour-long workout session. Each section lasts for 20 minutes, beginning with a cardiovascular spin workout that is low impact but builds heat to prepare you for what follows. Next is a HIIT strength-training circuit that changes every time. The workout ends with a revitalizing yoga flow geared toward strength, deep flexibility movements, and a relaxing recovery. Worried you won’t be able to keep up? SPENGA, which has studios nationwide, is designed for individuals on any stage of their fitness journey. “To ensure that everyone is able to participate, we always offer alternative
139_BALANCE_1120.indd 139
exercises or poses for beginners and for those who have an injury or limitation,” says Boca Raton studio owner Brian O’Rourke. “Our philosophy is ‘you versus you,’ so members’ performance is never ranked against other people in the session. The goal is simply for each person to push their own limits and continue to get stronger.” (spenga.com) PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | NOVEMBER 2020

Chicken noodle soup has some stiff competition when it comes to being the top panacea in a pot. While bone broth dates back thousands of years in Asian and Greek cultures, it has recently seen a huge surge in popularity due to its purported health benefits.
FOR AN ON-THE-GO ALTERNATIVE TO YOUR DAILY DOSE OF BONE BROTH, STOP BY CORELIFE EATERY IN ROYAL PALM BEACH OR BOCA RATON. THIS FAST-CASUAL RESTAURANT OFFERS INNOVATIVE BONE BROTH BOWLS LIKE COCONUT CURRY CHICKEN SOUP AND SPICY GINGER STEAK AND RICE NOODLE. (CORELIFEEATERY.COM)
Making bone broth involves simmering animal bones, meat, or seafood in water over an extended period of time to extract nutrients. The resultant savory liquid can act as the basis of many dishes, particularly soups, stews, and sauces. “Bone broth provides powerful nutrients your body needs to thrive, including collagen, gelatin, glucosamine, chondroitin, glutamine, and calcium,” says Hope Delong of Delray Beach–based Birthright Nutrition. “These vital nutrients are essential for gut, skin, and joint health” Using a 20-hour simmer, Birthright manufactures organic chicken and bone broth con-
centrates that need only hot water to reconstitute into broth. They’re available for purchase online or at Whole Foods locations. “Our target audience is health-conscious people who generally eat Keto or Paleo, and who are highly aware of what they put in their bodies,” says DeLong. “During the COVID challenge, we have brought on new customers who are looking for nutritious ways to boost their immune systems.” While Delong touts the positives of consuming bone broth any time of day, she advises those with health goals to strategize their timing to maximize the benefits. “Bone broth in the morning will support gut health and boost your mood. For detoxing, drinking bone broth in the evening is extremely helpful.” (birthrightnutrition.com)
PAMPER
FACE Time
Give fatigued skin a well-deserved hydration vacation with a HydroJelly mask. Brittany Johnston, owner of Palm Beach Facials, notes that these masks are unlike any you may have tried before. “The occlusive barrier created by the thick mask allows ingredients to better penetrate the skin, rather than be absorbed into the atmosphere,” explains Johnston. “Also, because they cover the eyes and mouth, HydroJelly masks target areas of the face that a traditional face mask is not designed to treat. Your entire face is left hydrated and glowing.” The mask is a liquid-jelly consistency when applied. After approximately 10 minutes, it becomes firm and rubber-like and is easily peeled away—revealing plump and hydrated skin. Clients at Johnston’s salon can choose from a variety of innovative HydroJelly masks, each designed to address specific skin concerns. Currently, the skin-balancing CBD (with 1,000 mg of cannabidiol) and the firming 24-karat gold (with actual gold flakes) are the most popular. (pbfacials.com)
COURSE OF ACTION Those not content with a lazy Saturday morning can get their adrenaline pumping at HSD Fitness’ weekly Moshpit Flash Obstacle Challenge. Participants run, climb, carry, and traverse across the West Boca gym’s 20plus obstacle course, which includes favorites like the rope climb, twister (a Spartan Race obstacle), and an adjustable 10-foot wall called Ursula. Participants who want to join in the action from the comfort of their home can register for the Virtual Moshpit, which uses equipment easily found around the house. A detailed instruction video and course “map” is provided after registration. (hsdfitness.com)

A decade ago, lucid dreaming came to Dave Costen Jr. with such clarity and purpose, he felt he had to use it to change his life for the better. Now the software consultant turned full-time meditation and yoga practitioner teaches lucid dreaming and dream yoga workshops at Soham Yoga in Royal Palm Beach. Lucid dreaming is defined as a dream in which the dreamer is aware that he or she is dreaming. The practice can have therapeutic benefits, allowing the dreamer to conquer fears, for example, in a safe environment. Dream yoga is an extension of lucid dreaming with, as Costen notes, the higher purpose of self-discovery. Here, he dives into what lucid dreams are and how to harness their power. (sohamyoga.net)

PBI: Can you explain lucid dreaming and dream yoga? Costen: Lucid dreaming and dream yoga are both practices where you enter your dreamworld consciously. This is not just a vivid dream that you can recall with great detail. It is where you, quite literally, take the controls of the dream, manifest things, go anywhere, and soon realize you are only limited by your own imagination. Think of it as a nighttime meditation practice. The difference between lucid dreaming and dream yoga appears when you have deeper questions when practicing these techniques.
Lucid dreaming can be thought of as recreational, and dream yoga begins to answer deeper questions regarding your life’s meaning, purpose, and destiny. How do you help people implement these practices in their lives? A meditation, pranayama (breathing), and yoga practice most often leads to lucid dreaming as one develops more awareness into how their own mind is working. So, when I teach breathing, I ask students how often they notice their breath throughout the day. Is it a deep, quality breath that activates the diaphragm or is it short and shallow? As you learn to properly breathe, you begin to take these techniques with you throughout the day to use when you need them the most. Now, how often do you ask yourself throughout the day if you are dreaming? Imagine knowing how to test this reality versus the dreamworld, and consciously prime yourself to ask, “Am I dreaming right now?” As you practice these “reality checks,” you are priming your subconscious mind to perform the same reality check while sleeping and actively dreaming. Lucid dreaming leads to lucid living. As you cultivate the mind to be present with the people in your life, this leads to spending quality time with each other. But sometimes we need some tools to get out of our own way. Yoga, meditation, pranayama, and lucid dreaming are these tools. What are some of the self-help benefits of these practices? Unlocking your creativity and discovering your hidden talents. Practicing anything by creating new neural pathways (neuroplasticity). Removing selfimposed subconscious obstacles that are keeping you from growing, boosting creativity, and improving performance in sports and at work.

WHAT ATTRACTS PATIENTS TO SEEK OUT ENNIS PLASTIC SURGERY OVER OTHER PRACTICES IN SOUTH FLORIDA?
We are very fortunate to have clients from all over the world coming to see us in Boca Raton. With a team of professional and caring employees, our practice differentiates itself from the rest in that it offers an expert husband-and-wife team working together to achieve results.
IS THERE A SPECIALTY THAT DRAWS THEM?
The majority of our patients who travel to our practice in Boca Raton do so for our facial work and the very natural results we always aim to achieve. As the face ages it loses muscle elasticity, which affects the appearance of the skin, thus the misconception that lines and wrinkles are only ‘skin deep.’ By addressing the muscle underneath, we achieve a beautifully refreshed and natural result.
ARE THERE OTHER PROCEDURES YOU ARE RENOWNED FOR?
We recently introduced the latest technology in hair transplantation that leaves no linear scar on the back of the head, and a rejuvenated hair line for the patient. Our breast implant technology achieves very natural results without a scar on the breast, preferring an underarm incision. Finally, our boutique practice approach in Boca Raton caters to a very sophisticated and well-educated group of patients who seek us out based on their research of cutting-edge procedures and our excellent reviews, which speak for themselves.

Now & Then
How the economic woes associated with COVID-19 differ from setbacks suffered during the GREAT RECESSION By Judy Martel When the forced economic shutdown from the coronavirus pandemic plunged the country into recession during the second quarter of 2020, many were plagued by uncomfortable recollections of the last catastrophic downturn just over a decade ago, the Great Recession of 2007 to 2009. While there are some similarities between the COVID-19 recession and the Great Recession, economist Sean Snaith, director of the Institute for Economic Forecasting at the University of Central Florida, notes that it’s the differences that are most significant. “The two are similar in the sense that both were severe contractions in the economy,” he says. “The COVID-19 recession was deeper but much shorter by comparison. Both were the deepest since the Great Depression [the longest recession on record, stretching a decade or more, beginning in 1929 with the stock market crash].” However, Snaith notes that the COVID-19 recession stands apart from any recession in U.S. history in that it was self-inflicted. Recessions are typically the result of financial instability in some part of the economy that instigates a sharp decline for at least a few
months. But the COVID-19 recession was the result of the government response to a health crisis that forced it to pull the plug on large segments of the economy, mainly tourism, hospitality, entertainment, and manufacturing. “Masses of people were thrown into unemployment in a matter of just two months, and the government lacked the infrastructure to process all those claims,” says Snaith. Contrast that with the Great Recession, which was largely attributed to the collapse of the housing market that then rippled throughout the credit markets. “Subsequently, it also weighed on the economic recovery, because it was such a historic destruction in home equity wealth,” continues Snaith. While relatively few people invest in the stock market, many more view their home as a way to build financial stability over time because, historically, housing prices steadily rose year after year. When home values tanked, “suddenly, across the socioeconomic spectrum, people saw their wealth collapse.” Making it worse was the slow recovery. “In Florida, it took nearly 10 years for prices to get back to prerecession levels. In the meantime, the economy worsened because consumer spending was dampened.”

10/6/20 12:39 PM
During the COVID-19 recession, the stock market took an immediate nosedive in March, but then rebounded within four months after the initial crash, leaving many investors scratching their heads as they observed the fallout of high unemployment and lost business income in the wake of the pandemic shutdown. “The stock market is always forward-looking, while economic data is a glimpse in the rearview mirror,” Snaith explains. “The stock market responds to what’s happening in the future and doesn’t take as long to recover as the housing market. Stocks are reflecting the fact that COVID-19 is not going to be an issue forever.” The labor market, however, will take time to recover, Snaith adds. “Many businesses, particularly small businesses, will not survive because they lacked the cash reserves to ride it out.” Other larger companies will not come out on the other end because they were already on the edge. The good news, he notes, is that the federal government responded to the COVID-19 recession quickly, approving some $3 trillion to pump into the economy within the first couple of months, although he calls the initial stimulus checks for individuals a “bandage on a deep bruise.” Looking forward, investors can take heart in the fact that low interest rates will help feed the economy back to healthy levels, though there could still be some lingering hurt. Certain sectors will take a
while to recover, but timing the market is risky and pulling out at the wrong moment can be disastrous. In times of uncertainty, the safest option is simply to wait on making any significant decisions. “If investors let fear dictate, they generally will lose,” Snaith says. “For example, if you got out of the market in March or April, you would have taken a huge hit. An investor’s portfolio structure should reflect where they are in life, but generally speaking, the best strategy is to do nothing. Riding it out is the smart play.” «

It’s SHOWTIME The Society of the Four Arts in Palm Beach blasts back onto the arts and culture scene this month with a bevy of offerings. The organization will stage two exhibitions in its Esther B. O’Keeffe Gallery, both beginning November 14. “Ubuhle Women: Beadwork and the Art of Independence” will feature the hand-stitched beadworks of South African Xhosa and Zulu women artists. Ubuhle means “beauty” in the Xhosa and Zulu languages and refers to the spiritually significant qualities of light reflecting on glass. These painstakingly detailed ndwangos, or cloths, are stretched to create canvases

Next, wander over to O’Keeffe’s east gallery to view “In God We Trust: Early Bible Printings and Founding Documents from the David M. Rubenstein Americana Collection,” which includes 18 rare, historic American Bibles and religious texts from the American businessman and philanthropist’s private holdings. The exhibition’s focal point is colonial America’s first book, the Bay Psalm Book, published in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1640.

In a year that has challenged and changed perspectives, the Vero Beach Museum of Art has done its part to offer a variety of artistic viewpoints in its galleries. Late last month, the museum debuted “Chul Hyun Ahn: New Light,” which showcases the “mind-bending” sculptures of its titular artist. Born in South Korea, Ahn seeks to create an illusion of infinite space with the interplay of light and reflection. The exhibit will be on view through April.

This tradition will culminate in a new exhibit, “Collecting Stories,” which debuts November 21. Works from the museum’s permanent collection will be featured in vignettes that explore the history, evolution, and influence of Japanese culture over the course of four centuries. (morikami.org)

November is going to the dogs! Amid all the soonto-be holiday hustle and bustle, take a minute to love on your pets. During this special time of year, they deserve to be pampered too, so I’ve gathered some of the best gifts for both you and them. To start, head up to Palm Harbor Boutique in Jupiter to pick up a few fashion-inspired chew toys from Haute Diggity Dog—like this “Michael Klaws” handbag, or some “Manalo Barknik” pumps. Don’t forget the cats, either. They might enjoy a sip of “Mëow & Chandon” or “Purrgundy” by Pet Winery, makers of liquid treats that are healthy and tasty. For something more practical, I love this calming pet CBD oil from Wellington-based 420 Brew Street. When looking to mark a special occasion, opt for a greeting l FOR MORE FASHIONABLE card from Hooray for the UnderBUYS, WATCH THE “EMILY’S PICKS” dog, which spotlights rescue dogs SEGMENT ON CBS12.COM. and cats on its merchandise.
