NOT SO LONELY PL ANET 不孤獨星球

2020 年三月新冠疫情最劇烈時候，美聯社曾發布多張世界知名景 點空無一人的照片，震撼全球，過去擁擠嘈雜的空間，全部空蕩蕩，彷 彿電影《香草天空》的畫面。各國紛紛國境關閉，疫區人員禁止外出， 旅遊業、展演活動全數停擺。慢慢地，隨著疫情趨緩，疫苗發明與施打， 2021 年或許某些地方會漸漸開放旅行。 《小星星通信》是 Yoshitomo Nara 奈良美智寫的第一本傳記書， 回顧 1959 年 12 月 5 日他第一次來到這個星球後的種種。他是一位時 空的旅人，碰巧 2021 年春天他再度來台灣，參加奈良美智在台首次佈 展，傳遞他的溫柔信息。時年 62 歲的他，心境不再是憤怒、叛逆，更 多終極關懷。在《Ravenel》34 期季刊專欄，介紹了您所不知道的奈良 美智。 超扁平，是村上隆提出的日本當代藝術特質，Takeru Amano 天野 タケル詮釋經典偶像畫，以簡筆人物漫畫風格自成一格。台北雙年展看 過了嗎？我們將快速帶您導讀。還有中國文人畫的最後一筆，欣賞溥心 畬的詩書畫。 品飲葡萄酒不可不知醒酒的重要。國境解封後，可以去一趟巴黎？ 拎著 Lady Dior 包，或者逛逛喬治五世四季酒店、巴黎世家？或是到普 羅旺斯的酒莊朝聖？珍惜地球的美好資源與人文風景，當然不要浪費食 物。世紀病毒讓我們暫停下來，多關懷家人好友，重新思考未來。孤獨 星球，將不再那麼寂寞了。

藝術宅男與網紅 隔離人群，孤獨一人對多數人皆是難熬的經歷。奈良美智從小是鑰 匙兒童，放學後必須獨自在家。即使長大後留學德國與美國，在異鄉期 間也經常一個人面對創作時的孤立狀態，或許比一般人習慣自處。熟識 的朋友說，無論在日本或者海外，很神奇地，奈良美智的房間都長得神 似，因為最終都會佈置成他的小小天地，十分有趣。 由於他堅持親自參與展覽，儘管 2020 年因新冠肺炎多數國境封鎖， 美國疫情尤為嚴峻，博物館被迫關閉與延後展覽，LACMA 洛杉磯郡立 美術館開幕了奈良美智史上最大規模回顧展，他仍排除萬難親自飛去美 國，與展廳內的藝術創作在一起。整體展覽空間呈現反應了他創作生活 的一部分，長久以來他所處在的房間或者小木屋，往往都像一件大裝置 作品。

YOSHITOMO NARA 四十年的藝術旅行 可以說，奈良美智完全是一個「大宅男」來著，樂於在自己的天地裡悠遊， 如同回憶裡，隔著網路的窗扉，觀看著世界上的大小事，疏離卻溫暖。其性格 的養成，自然和成長背景有著緊密的關聯。與多數人不同，他喜歡往後回顧過 往，喜愛舊的事物，在音樂和繪畫方面都是如此。他擁有絕佳的記憶力，點點 滴滴的兒時回憶、生命經驗的回望，鮮明的浮現腦海，一一在作品中重現。 奈良美智是日本青森弘前市人，1959 年 12 月 5 日出生。青森是知名盛產 蘋果與櫻花的的故鄉，有迷人遼闊的自然風光，冬天時蕭瑟寂靜。奈良美智如 今不知不覺也進入耳順之年，依舊一身 T 恤或者帽 T 與牛仔褲等率性裝扮，然 已滿頭白髮蒼蒼。進入中年之後，風格上有些轉變，尤其是畫中的人物眼神少 了純然的憤怒叛逆，多了複雜的情感，寧靜且安祥，意味著心境的轉變。 天生有畫畫的天賦，小時候曾被家鄉的美術系學生稱讚會畫畫，小學老師 也誇獎他畫得很像大人，但沒有激發他學美術的心，直到高三準備升學之際， 才萌生報考藝術大學的念頭，於是前往東京就讀補習班。後來先進入武藏野美 術學校，熱衷於龐克音樂、流連於演唱會和唱片行，對生硬的學院理論不感興 趣，休學一年後瀟灑地跑到印度、巴基斯坦與歐洲流浪。回來後，重新考入愛 知縣立藝術大學，完成研究所學業。擔任過美術教師後，轉赴國立杜塞道夫藝 術學院就讀，在柏林成立工作室，名氣漸開，赴美國 UCLA 擔任客座教授等， 旅居海外 12 年回國。期間決定一生以藝術家為志業。 他忠於自己的選擇，沒有太多的猶豫。作家吉本芭娜娜曾說：「儘管在這 個年頭要始終保持真實和誠懇是相當困難的事情，但奈良是真誠的，對此我深 信不疑。」她形容奈良的畫作「因沉痛與孤獨而異常冰冷的世界，但內心絕不 是惡的。而我寧可在這樣的世界中長居。」

No Music, No Life! 學生時期的叛逆和不服從學院權威的念頭，成長的記憶和旅行的所見所聞，不斷地縈繞在心 靈深處。他的藝術啟蒙來自於熱愛的音樂唱片封面設計。夾雜著文字與圖樣的設計形式，在他早 期的圖畫裡可見其深刻影響。2020 年洛杉磯郡立美術館的奈良美智回顧展策展人吉竹美香（Mika Yoshitake），點出藝術家長期所熱愛的「音樂」，以此貫穿整場展覽的主軸。她說，「自奈良美 智九歲時聽到民謠以來，各式唱片專輯的封面成為他接觸、吸收藝術的途逕之一」。 該展覽第一間展廳展示了超過 300 張奈良從少年時期開始蒐集的專輯封套，壯觀的音樂牆， 震撼力十足。這些音樂主要集中在 1960 年代末到 1970 年代中期。九歲後透過收音機聽到美軍電 台 Far East Network 的節目，發現了西方民搖和搖滾。兒時孤獨一人在家，聆聽電台音樂的同時， 默默開啟了他的無限想像力。No Music, No Life! 沒有音樂，沒有生命。 確實，音樂一直與奈良同在。奈良美智表示，「在畫畫的時候，音樂就會進入我的耳朵，然 後直接從我的手中傳出。」他會一邊聽音樂，一邊創作。有他的不少作品或展覽名稱，都是來自 奈良美智《告訴我為什麼》

西洋歌曲名稱或歌詞。至今在他的工作室裡，繼續累積著更多的搖滾、藍調、靈魂和龐克的專輯 唱片。可以說他也成為西方當代音樂演進的歷史見證人。諸如，1960-1970 年代的 Bob Dylan、 1980 年 代 的 David Bowie、Iggy Pop， 龐 克 的 The Clash、Sex Pistoles、Ramones， 到 雷 鬼 Bob Marley、電子音樂 Kraftwerk、搖滾的 Nirvana；到了 1990 年代的英國搖滾 Blur、Radiohead，與 The Beastie Boys 的嘻哈音樂等等，都曾陪伴他不同的歲月，一起成長。

[ ART & INVESTMENT ] 獨樹一格的畫風 除了音樂唱片的封面設計，圖畫書對少年奈良也有莫大的啟發。伊索寓言、安徒生 和格林兄弟的童話等，都是他愛閱讀的童書。他曾說道：「圖畫書只用一張圖片講很多 故事，所以這種系統，即從一張圖片中出現的敘事，對我的作品，尤其是我的早期作品 產生了更大的影響。」1990 年代後期，他與文壇女作家吉本芭娜娜合作繪本，使自己也 成為插畫家，透過以圖畫訴說故事。 儘管青年奈良不服從僵化的學院教學，然而對於美術史的經典懷著敬意。日本浮世 繪的色彩、平面化與漆藝光滑質感的概念影響，在奈良美智的作品有跡可循。在西洋藝 術家當中，他受到文藝復興時期法蘭切斯卡以色彩取代輪廓的技法啟發；陶醉在俄國藝 術家羅斯科的細膩迷人色彩；敬佩馬諦斯的簡潔與雋永。無論是紙上作品或是油畫，都 有深刻的摸索、古雅的追尋。評論家認為，以普普藝術或漫畫風格來簡單解讀奈良美智 是錯誤的，他是一位才華洋溢、實實在在的畫家。 奈良回憶著第一次畫油畫是進大學前的美術補習班上。而其藝術全集中收錄最早的 圖版，無論是油畫或是紙上作品都是 1984 年，時值 25 歲的愛知縣立藝術大學時期。而 從早期開始，素描（drawing），扮演著奈良美智一生創作中的重要角色，赴德國以前的 日本展覽中，在油畫和雕塑作品旁展示大量的素描作品。杜塞道夫藝術學院的老師彭克 （A.R. Penck），欣賞他的素描作品，建議他把素描帶入油畫之中，開啟了新的視野。

2000 年以後更擴展概念為素描屋的裝置。2006 年他與 graf 合作的 A to Z 的木 屋與繪畫展覽計畫，成為為人津津樂道的重要里程碑。不過，與他人合作必須妥協， 奈良不甚滿意這樣的呈現，他寧可一個人面對畫布，與自己展開戰鬥，來得痛快淋 漓。 奈良美智作品的主題都是「肖像畫」，或者具體地說是「自畫像」。小孩、女 孩、小狗等相對弱勢的代表，呼應現實生活的相對弱勢的處境，如戰敗國日本的民 族自尊、城鄉差距的邊陲困境，少數族裔的生存等嚴肅議題等。平凡的主題蘊藏著 深層複雜和不平凡的意義，有時如信仰的凝視境界，教人震撼不已。 2011 年東日本 311 大地震，為全日本極大的有形與無形的損失與創傷，尤其家 鄉距離福島不遠，災後滿目瘡痍的場景，奈良大受衝擊一度無法作畫。他跟隨了攝 影大師荒木經惟摸索攝影，受到他的鼓舞。也慢慢他從泥塑陶土的過程中逐漸找回 奈良美智《修補頭》

創作的溫度，激發出更深層的內在世界。雖然 1980 年代也有創作雕塑，1990 年代 以後有以 FRP 創作光滑的小狗或孩童雕塑，後期的立體雕塑有更深刻的無常體悟。 「我實際感受到幾十年後我就不在了，但作品卻會被留下來，於是想嘗試青 銅。」藝術家坦言，「投入雕塑製作也對我的繪畫產生影響。讓他在繪畫中應該可 以雕塑，在雕塑中也能做出具有繪畫性的作品。」在他的藝術創作裡，不論媒材， 繪畫與雕塑互有特色，互相影響，持續精進。

YOSHITOMO NARA 日本最貴的當代藝術家 「小時候畫得像大人，長大後卻畫得像小孩。」可愛，是多數人對他作品 的直觀感受，然而他更希望觀者能回應其背後更深層的內涵。簡單，其實不簡 單。「不管計畫的規模如何，除非最終自己全力以赴，否則您無法獲得令人滿 意的結果。」奈良美智全然投入，用生命創作，為他帶來極大的成功。 奈良美智的藝術表現是全方位的，他用心投入創作。無論是油畫、紙上作 品、告示牌木板畫、陶瓷、雕塑、裝置、攝影與版畫等，實實在在的創作脈絡， 展示在今日於美術館、畫廊、博覽會或拍賣會上我們所能見到的藝術品。52 歲 即發行藝術全集，勤奮與創造力之豐沛，令好友村上隆十分感動。他的藝術已 經為重要博物館所收藏，包括紐約 MOMA 現代美術館、洛杉磯郡立美術館， 還有日本多所博物館等。 奈良美智已是全世界最受歡迎的當代藝術家之一，也是目前全球拍賣市場 成交金額最高的日本在世藝術家。2019 年 10 月在香港拍賣會上，一幅創作於 千禧年的《背後藏刀》油畫，以近 1.96 億港元（約 2495 萬美元或 7 億 6000 萬 元台幣）的天價成交，強勢壓過了同樣在 2019 年 4 月草間彌生的《無盡的網 #4》 奈良美智《背後藏刀》

Actually, Yoshitomo Nara has been very active on social media.

Many years ago, he worked as a DJ for free at a community FM station in the Shibuya District. He had purchased the recording equipment and shared his collection of early rock music for two hours every week. He also started his own music blog. In recent years, on the Twitter platform that is popular in Japan, Nara's account has accumulated over 250,000 followers. He tweets several posts daily, mostly commenting on current affairs or talking about what is on his mind.

quarantine period in Taiwan, he took some photos to entertain himself.

The shots included the meals sent by the quarantine hotel, the corridor outside his room, chores such as sweeping the floor or folding his clothes, or his drawings on the table. Sometimes he reported mundane details such as the compulsory self-measurement of his body temperature.

He also shared interesting images, made comments on related articles, or responded to tweets that he was interested in. In particular, he enjoys the use of emojis to maintain a digital connection with the outside world.

The overall exhibition presentation reflected part of his creative lifestyle.

During his 14-day quarantine in Taipei, he kept up communication with the outside world, showing his concerns via the Internet. In the Art Handbook magazine published in 2012, Nara's teacher and friend Nobuya Hitsuda once talked of Nara during his student days. Nara always loved to gather a group of people to have a great time. Then he would back away from the crowd and quietly return to his solitary state, saying things like "I am so lonely!" Sometimes he is shy as a puppy that is afraid of strangers but wishes to get closer. Other times he is like a cat, looking arrogant and careless for others. He could be unsociable and eccentric to the point of being a bit difficult to be with. All of these contradictory feelings are magnificently and delicately demonstrated through his creative works. Some of his friends of the same age feel that he has a special charm that attracts children and adults. The public wants to get to know him. But when he meets someone that he doesn't jive with, he would stay quiet or just calmly walk away.

His good friend Takashi Murakami joked that in Nara's paintings, the characters often had melancholic eyes. No wonder he has so many fans, especially female fans. The quiet Nara and the energetic Murakami 16

From time to time, Nara updates his Instagram timeline with the same photos as his twitter posts. He keeps up-to-date with the latest trend, chatting online even on Clubhouse, the online chat website that only very recently became popular.

[ ART & INVESTMENT ] A 40-YEAR ARTISTIC JOURNEY In a sense, Yoshitomo Nara is a total "Otaku" or homebody, who enjoys hanging out in his own world. It may be similar to a memory, in observance of all the big and small details in the world through the Internet Window, which can be alienating and warm all at once.

The development of his personality is naturally closely linked to his background growing up. Unlike most people, he enjoys looking back to the past, and likes old things in terms of music and paintings. He has an excellent memory. His creative works vividly recaptures the minute details of his childhood memories and recollection of life experiences one by one.

Yoshitomo Nara was born in Hirosaki City of Aomori Prefecture in Japan on December 5, 1959. Known for its apples and cherry blossoms,

The first room of the exhibition displayed more than 300 album covers that Nara has collected since his youth, resulting in a spectacular wall of music. Most of the albums were produced in the late 1960's to the

Indeed, music has always accompanied Nara in life. Yoshitomo Nara stated that: "Whenever I am painting, music enters my ears and directly pours out from my hands." He would listen to music while he worked, and many of his artworks or exhibition titles came from western music

made profound explorations in his elegant pursuits on paper or on canvas.

Art critics believe that it is a mistake to interpret the art of Yoshitomo Nara in the genre of pop art or manga, because he is a very talented and true painter.

"P ortrait" has always been the subject of Yoshitomo Nara' s paintings, or "self-portrait" to be more specific. A child, a girl, a dog, and other relatively disadvantaged representations reflect their vulnerable circumstances in real life, which may be linked to serious issues such as the Japanese national self-esteem as a defeated nation, the plight of the border region due to the urban-rural gap in wealth, and the survival of ethnic minorities. In-depth, complex and unusual meanings are hidden in ordinary subjects, sometimes shaking people to the core just like the gaze of faith.

In 2011, the 311 earthquake in Japan caused much tangible and intangible damage and trauma for all of Japan. Nara's hometown was not from the Fukushima Prefecture. He became so devastated by the disaster that he found himself unable to paint for a while. He followed the footstep of photography master Nobuyoshi Araki to explore the art of photography, and received encouragement from him. Gradually, he rediscovered the warmth of creativity in the process of sculpting with clay, stirring up an even deeper level of the inner world. Although he created some sculptures in the 1980's, he began making smooth puppies or children sculptures with fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) in the 1990's, showing a deeper understanding of impermanence in the 3D sculptures of his later period.

[ ART & INVESTMENT ] THE MOST EXPENSIVE CONTEMPORARY ARTIST IN JAPAN "Painting like an adult when he was little, while painting like a child after growing up." Intuitively, most people consider his paintings 'cute'. However, the artist hopes that the viewers can decipher the deeper meaning within. Simplicity is not simple. "Regardless of the scale of the project, you will never achieve a satisfactory result without going all out with your own efforts." Yoshitomo Nara devoted his life to creativity, which brought him immense success.

Yoshitomo Nara has provided the world with comprehensive artistic presentations by devoting himself to creative works, whether it was oil paintings, works on paper, painting on billboards, ceramics, sculptures, installations, photography or prints. His solid creative context

The facial features of the figures are drawn in the style of cartoons with simple and concise stylized lines. Various emotions and moods are conveyed to viewers through a second layer of layout and motion of the body and limbs. In the past, Amano's works featured a handmade celluloid style of TV cartoons. His recent works have transformed into an urban art style of fluorescent spray-painted lines. Amano's painting style is not just unique, but also highly recognizable.

The father of Takeru Amano is the renowned Japanese artist Yoshitaka Amano. They each rose to fame in different eras, each a pioneer of their own styles. The western urban street art of the 21st century had a profound impact on the works of Takeru Amano. In his choice of themes, media or his collaboration with the fashion industry, Amano has sublimated to the current state of contemporary visual culture, and his development aligns with the latest urban trends while paying tribute to classic western art.

In recent years, Japanese contemporary art has gained popularity

「不會吧，也太衰了，這瓶很貴耶 !」 下班後來到近期正夯的米其林一星餐廳，正沉浸在澳洲自然酒與炭烤鵪鶉間美妙的碰撞， 突然聽到鄰座男士與友人的對話。 偏著頭瞄了一眼，Domaine Emmanuel Rouget Cros Parantoux 2013! 不得了，這可是瓶來自法國勃根地、知名酒莊、知名地塊的好酒，一瓶要價不斐。 「先生，你也太心急了阿 !!」 我在內心吶喊著。

“It's weird! The bottle my friend brought to Landis last time was delicious. Why does this bottle smell like rotten eggs?”

“It's gone bad!”

“No! That is terrible luck! The bottle is very expensive!”

After getting off work, I went to a one-star Michelin restaurant that recently became a popular hangout. Immersed in the exquisite combination of Australian natural wine and charcoal-grilled quail, suddenly I heard the conversation of the men at the table next to me.

I tilted my head to get a glance, Domaine Emmanuel Rouget Cros Parantoux 2013!

Wow, it was a bottle from Burgundy, France – fine wine from a renowned winery of a well-known region. That bottle was expensive.

“Sir, you are in too much of a hurry!!” I shouted in my head.

Or, it may be similar to a beautiful woman all dolled up for a banquet, looking glamorously and unabashed. However, her fragrance seemed to have been stripped before the main course was served, leaving behind only something plain and dull.

Or, perhaps you've had such an experience?

After pouring a bottle of wine into a glass, you tried hard to get a whiff but failed to find any aroma worth mentioning. On the contrary, it seemed to smell like a wet cardboard box, or the stuffy room odor after it rains.

倘若沒有侷限在一頓飯的時間裡享受一瓶酒，最好的醒酒方式就 是開瓶後直接倒一杯，時不時聞一聞、啜一小口，不斷感受他在杯中 的變化，等待他將封陳在瓶中的歲月如畫卷般慢慢展開，當青澀的外 表褪去，美好的香氣乍現，便可能是巔峰期的到來，也許數分鐘後、 也許數小時後，有些實力非凡的義大利酒甚至需要數天時間的醒酒， 方才開始進入巔峰期。 但若只有短短兩三小時的用餐時間，又該如何是好呢 ? 這就是餐 廳裡專業侍酒師大展身手的時刻了。他會就自身豐沛的經驗來判斷， 運用他的醒酒器 (Decanter) 大幅縮短賓客等待的時間，協助客人在用 餐時間內便能享受到這瓶酒最美好的一面。 有趣的是，資深葡萄酒愛好者總試圖去掌握所謂的「正確的醒酒 時間」，卻始終無法有所定論，正如同永遠買不在最低點、賣不在最 高點的股市一樣。我們唯一能確定的是，酒醒過了頭可是無法逆轉的， 因此並不推薦一般人使用市面上強調超快速醒酒的用具。 If you are not limited to enjoying wine with your meal, the best way to decanting wine is to open a bottle and pour a glass. Then, take a whiff and a sip from time to time to taste the changing flavor and aroma in the glass, until the years bottled up unfold gradually like a scroll painting.

Once the astringent taste subsides, the mature aroma emerges, which could signal the peak period has arrived. It may be several minutes or several hours. Some magnificent Italian wines may even need several days of decanting before the arrival of the peak.

However, for two to three hours during the course of a meal, what can be done? That is the time for a professional sommelier in the restaurant to show off their skills. They usually make a judgement based on their experience, and use a decanter to greatly reduce the waiting time, so that the guests may enjoy the best of the wine with their meal.

Seasoned wine connoisseurs usually make an attempt to master the so-called "correct wine decanting time", but the answer has not been found. Just like the stock market where it's impossible to buy at the lowest point, nor sell at the highest point, the only thing we are certain of is that when a wine has passed its peak, the process is irreversible.

Therefore, tools touting extremely fast decantation is not recommended for the general public.

Liu Kuo-Song once mentioned Pu Hsin-Yu's preference to painting pine and withered trees.

Pu once said that the pine symbolizes one's noble character, which is also the primary quality of the artist.

Such cultivated character is also demonstrated in Pu's brushstrokes and paintings.

Pine and Rocks sold at Ravenel Spring Auction 2019 was depicted with refined strokes. The crooked trunk forms a carefully constructed structure using various forms of brushstrokes.

Restrained strokes form dense and fine pine leaves. Broad axe strokes were used on the rocks at the bottom, featuring a nearby waterfall, formed by light downward strokes. Cun strokes were sophisticated and swiftly applied, highlighting the summer landscape.

Pu Hsin-Yu's gongbi flower-and-bird paintings are exquisite works reflected through its composition and the use of colours.

After relocating to Taiwan, he was deeply touched by the local elements from Hanyu Tang including vegetables, plants and animals. Sketches were made at leisure, yet the character of objects were often precisely captured. Gongbi flowers in the style of the Southern Song School were often depicted to form an elegant piece of work.

Bird Eating Berries sold at Ravenel Autumn Auction 2020 was a gongbi painting in the style of Song School. Close resemblance to the bird could be traced to the careful observation of the life object. Yellow colour was applied in a realistic depiction of the plump body. Different forms of leaves demonstrates the movement of spring breeze, further highlighted by their lustrous green hue.

Through the depiction of a proud plump bird, Pu's gongbi work manifest the joy of Spring in the style of Tang.

緊鄰香榭麗舍大道、瑪索大道及蒙田大道，喬治五世酒店是花都的一顆明 珠，向來被認為是世界上最奢華的酒店之一，它以最窮奢極侈的姿態傲視巴黎， 滿足了當代富豪追求皇室尊榮的夢想。 座落於喬治五世大街之上，四季酒店集團接手管理之前，人們習慣稱之為喬 治五世酒店。每當人們行經此處，很少有人不被這棟氣勢輝煌的建築吸引，其外 觀和典型的 19 世紀奧斯曼建築大異其趣。

一旁轉角就是黎巴嫩設計師 Elie Saab 的巴黎總部，隱約透露 出 酒 店 和 阿 拉 伯 富 豪 的 淵 源。 酒 店 的 歷 史 可 以 追 溯 到 1920 年 代 末， 由 美 國 富 豪 喬 爾． 希 爾 曼 (Joel Hillman) 出 資 興 建， 花 費 超 過 3100 萬美元，他委託安德烈．特哈伊 (André Terrail) 和喬治． 威伯 (Georges Wybo) 負責設計。前者是大名鼎鼎的銀塔餐廳 (La Tour d'Argent) 老闆，他的私人府邸就位於酒店正對面；後者是巴 黎春天百貨和多維爾賭場的建築師，他以當時流行的裝飾藝術風格 進行設計，尚未完工就已經轟動巴黎。 1928 年酒店正式開幕後，吸引了眾多大西洋彼岸的美國富豪， 但隔年的經濟大蕭條摧毀了美好的夢想，喬爾．希爾曼被迫出售酒 店，買主是法國商人與銀行家弗朗索瓦．杜普雷 (François Dupré) 和他的妻子，這對夫婦是有名的藝術愛好者與收藏家，正是他們的 收藏為酒店贏得特殊的聲望。

穿越喬治五世酒店的大門，天花板上佛羅倫斯吊燈和穆 拉諾島水晶燈綻放璀璨光芒，大廳內的法蘭德斯掛毯出自著 名的萊尼耶 (Leyniers) 工坊，描繪了戰爭與和平的寓言。長 廊內擺放了 18 世紀名匠安德烈 - 夏爾．布勒 (André-Charles Boulle) 風格的家具，所見一切都散發出極致的優雅與和諧。 如果路易十四穿越時空，毫無疑問地，他肯定也會下榻 喬治五世四季酒店。 可惜太陽王從未蒞臨這座現代凡爾賽宮，不過酒店曾經 接待過英國女王、美國總統和數不清的阿拉伯皇室。1996 年 沙烏地阿拉伯的瓦利德王子 (Al-Walid ben Talal Al Saoud) 以 1.85 億美元收購酒店，並且耗資 1.2 億美元進行翻修，隨後 委託四季酒店集團管理，從此改名為「喬治五世」四季酒店。 在名廚克里斯瓊．勒．史奎爾 (Christian Le Squer)、西 蒙．札諾尼 (Simone Zanoni) 和阿蘭．陶東 (Alan Taudon) 的 帶領下，喬治五世四季酒店是世界上唯一擁有三家星級餐廳 的地方。此外還有享譽國際的傑夫．利德曼 (Jeff Leatham)， 他為酒店創作出獨一無二的花藝設計，可謂錦上添花。

2018 年 酒 店 內 的 Spa 重 新 開 幕， 由 當 紅 的 設 計 師 皮 埃 爾 － 伊 夫． 侯 尚 (Pierre-Yves Rochon) 操 刀， 受 到 地 中 海 和 土 耳 其 傳 統 浴 室 的 啟 發， 他 打 造 出 奢 華 典 雅 的 水 療 空 間， 號 稱 是「 巴 黎最美的 SPA」。 走過將近一個世紀的歷史，喬治五 世四季酒店始終穿梭在過去與現代間， 不斷地以最精緻的手法重新定義奢華， 法蘭西貴族的古老靈魂在此獲得新生。

阿爾那瓊城堡

CHÂTEAU D’ARNAJON

眾多明星藝術家作品分散座落在 220 公頃的土地之上，包含亞歷山大．考爾德、索菲． 卡爾、翠西．艾敏、肖恩．斯庫利、里查．塞拉、弗朗茲．韋斯特、李禹煥、杉本博司、 隈研吾和艾未未等人。 漫步其中，真是一趟感官之旅，令人重新思考大自然與人類的關係。園區內還附設有 28 間 墅套房、餐廳和酒吧，2019 年更奪下「宮殿」(Palace) 標章，成為目前法國境內 31 座宮殿級酒店之一。 當代建築遇上歷史古蹟，新與舊的交會，兩者是否能兼容並存？距離拉科斯特酒莊僅 有 5 公里，阿爾那瓊城堡 (Château d'Arnajon) 與前者形成強烈的對比。這座平日大門深鎖 的城堡，由現任堡主家族傳承，解普羅旺斯地區的文化與歷史，扮演了時代見証的角色。 始建於 17 世紀，阿爾那瓊城堡呈現了普羅旺斯地區的建築特徵，是法國鄉村貴族生 活的真實見證。城堡的歷史其實有點平淡，有趣的是聽堡主講述，例如如何申請補助、籌 措資金和對抗法國官僚主義，諸如此類種種繁雜的細碎瑣事，令人思考擁有這樣一座城堡 對普羅旺斯，究竟是幸福還是負擔？

47

19 世紀至今城堡始終是同一家族的財產，家族世 世代代在此居住，1965 年英國女王蒞臨參觀。庭園與 水池特別引人注目，還有一座以貝殼裝飾的華麗洞窟， 明顯是受到義大利巴洛克潮流的影響。 不過在堡主眼中，拉科斯特城堡充其量只是一堆 沒有感情的水泥塊，不僅缺乏文化與歷史，普羅旺斯 的靈魂也完全喪失殆盡。也許可以理解其憂心和憤怒。 終究過多的遊客破壞了普羅旺斯的寧靜，小鎮也日趨 商業化，變得像是一座又一座刻意經營的鄉村風度假 村，難逃資產階級附庸風雅的命運。 抗拒「外來者」引起的改變。但今天的普羅旺斯， 如何在守舊與創新之間取得平衡？也許沒有標準答案。

許多都市更新的步調中，古蹟的認定去存或拆除，令人對於文 資保存的立場和則值得借鏡。 位 於 巴 黎 東 南 郊 的 莫 雷 － 盧 萬 和 奧 爾 瓦 訥 (Moret-Loing-etOrvanne) 小鎮上，有一座雕飾精美的殘存建築立面，屬於夏布耶之 家 Maison Chabouillé 的一部分，像一顆被世人遺忘的寶石，靜靜地 散發出耀眼的光芒。 始建於 1527 年前後，夏布耶之家的主人是法王弗朗索瓦一世的 財政官尼可拉．夏布耶 (Nicolas Chabouillé)。受到義大利建築的影 響，建築外觀充滿了各式神話、星座、花草裝飾元素，還有象徵弗 朗索瓦一世的火蠑螈紋章，堪稱是法國文藝復興建築的傑作之一。 夏布耶之家曾經歷兩次搬遷，第一次發生在 19 世紀初期，當 時某位軍官買下房子送給情婦作為禮物，1823 年搬遷至巴黎市區重 建，地點緊鄰塞納河畔和巴黎大皇宮，但實際上二人從未在此居住。 對於 1955 年夏布耶之家面臨被拆除的命運，小鎮市政府決定買 下後搬回重建，法國對遺產古蹟的態度，也許可以作為台灣文化保 存的借鏡 。

去年 10 月，佳士得選在巴黎七區塞夫爾街 40 號一處「秘密基地」舉辦「保羅．海姆的秘密花園」 (Le jardin secret de Paul Haim) 秋拍專場預展，展出 一系列 20 世紀雕塑藝術大師傑作。 保羅．海姆是十分有名的巴黎藝術經銷商，不 僅經手眾多知名藝術家，還致力於將印象派及現代 藝術帶往日本。1960 年代保羅．海姆和妻子珍奈特． 勒華 (Jeannette Leroy) 建造了一座名為名為「小埃 斯卡雷」(La Petite Escalère) 的花園，園中擺放了他 們的雕塑與藝術品收藏。 從古典的羅丹、安托萬．布德爾和馬約爾，到 現代的米羅、考爾德和野口勇，保羅．海姆的收藏 品味十分多元。但他特別喜愛費爾南．雷捷的作品， 還委託好友趙無極製作大型的馬賽克壁畫。 不過，說起這座緊鄰時尚聖地樂蓬馬歇百貨公 司 (Le Bon Marché)，獨一無二的建築，遠遠超越了 歷史古蹟活化。重點是，前身原是歷史悠久的雷奈 克醫院 (Hôpital Laennec)，近年才被法國開雲集團 買下，接著展開所費不貲的修復改建計畫，將 17 世 紀的歷史古蹟改建為企業總部，同時完整保留其獨 特的文化烙印。

醫院的歷史可以追溯到 1632 年，由拉羅什富 科 主 教 (François de La Rochefoucauld) 成 立， 主 要收留臨終的病人。建築是典型的路易十三風格， 結構清晰，佈局嚴謹，中央莊嚴肅穆的禮拜堂， 令人想起巴黎傷兵院或是硝石庫慈善醫院。即使 外牆沒有過多的裝飾，但石頭、紅磚和板岩等不 同建材的組合，形成對比鮮明的視覺效果。顯然 一切設計經過深思熟慮，通過了既要符合當代美 學標準，又要尊重原始建築精神，同時揭示人類 與過去歷史關係的挑戰，呈現出如此獨一無二的 建築空間。 熟 諳 時 尚 圈 的 人 都 知 全 球 精 品 龍 頭 之 一， 以 永 續 企 業 為 號 召 的「 開 雲 集 團 」 總 舵 主 理 人 弗 朗 索 瓦． 皮 諾 (François Pinault) 旗 下 擁 有 Gucci、Alexander McQueen、Bottega Veneta、 Saint Laurent、Balenciaga、Brioni、Christopher Kane、Stella McCartney、Sergio Rossi、 Boucheron 等 眾 多 一 線 精 品， 橫 跨 高 級 時 裝、 皮 件、珠寶及鐘錶，但這位和 LVMH 集團，法國首 富貝爾納．阿爾諾 (Bernard Arnault)，分庭抗禮的 對手，似乎更加熱衷投資文化事業，除了擁有超 過 3000 件的藝術品收藏，屢屢展示建構美術館建 案的野心更令人折服。

疫情下，充滿焦慮的今天，彷彿只剩下藝術是一帖解藥？ 但在藝術療癒和群聚感染之間的拿捏和變通，相較於法 國藝文界的處境，台灣防疫更應該珍惜。 去 夏， 法 國 大 提 琴 家 葛 替 耶 爾． 卡 普 頌 (Gautier Capuçon) 立意良善，主動宣布「免費巡演」，但要求市政府 支付大約金額落在 2800 至 9800 歐之間的部分「費用」，卻 弄巧成拙，引發法國藝文界兩極化的反應，甚至有人不領情 地認為此舉反而消耗偏鄉文化預算，更擴大文化沙漠的差距。 但是，葛替耶爾的哥哥，小提琴家雷諾．卡普頌 (Renaud Capuçon) 在 Twitter 上 以「 拯 救 文 化 」(#sauverlaculture) 的 標籤，在法國東部香貝里 (Chambéry) 家樂福內的演奏直播， 呼籲政府不能因應疫情封城而停頓文化活動，正好呼應法國 各地藝術家集體示威遊行，反而引起正相的迴響。

2011 年聯合國糧食及農業組織 (FAO) 發佈了一份報告，顯示每年全球食物 浪費總量高達 13 億噸，相當於有三分之一的食物被丟進垃圾桶，造成相當可觀 的經濟損失和龐大的環境成本。 TGTG 是一款源自北歐的「搶救」食物 App，2015 年由 Brian Christensen、 Thomas Bjørn Momsen、Stian Olesen、Klaus Bagge Pedersen 和 Adam Sigbrand 在丹麥成立，使用者可以在 App 上以低價預約店家沒賣完的食物，並於時間內 前往指定地點取餐。 除了各式超市、餐廳、麵包店和咖啡館外，如今甚至有越來越多的花店、高 級甜點店和高檔餐廳加入 TGTG 的行列。其最刺激的地方在於，使用者無法預先 選擇食物內容，因此經常會有許多意想不到的驚喜。當然 TGTG 也有完善的評分 機制，使用者可以依照食物的品質和份量進行評價。 隨後歐洲各地的年輕人紛紛開始響應，Chris Wilson 和 Jamie Crummie 首先 發起英國版，在法國則是由當時年僅 23 歲的 Lucie Basch 成立法國版，後者更因 此獲選為「法國年度企業女性」。法國名廚 Thierry Marx 在談到 Lucie Basch 時說： 「她明白手機成為人類的第二大腦，app 也可以富於戰鬥性。」關於 Too Good To Go，他補充道：「消費者也必須充滿戰鬥精神，了解每項產品的社會與環境 責任，在等待獨立組織指導我們選擇優良產品時，沒有比 app 更好的管道了」。 如今 TGTG 擁有歐洲 14 國的 2500 萬用戶，包含法國、挪威、瑞典、丹麥、 荷蘭、比利時、英國、德國、波蘭、奧地利、瑞士、義大利、西班牙和葡萄牙， 光是在法國就已有 700 萬下載次數。 抵抗食物浪費不僅是聯合國設定的「永續發展目標」，更是人人應有的責任， 希望更多國家能夠跟進趨勢，期許不久的未來也推出類似 app，將原有「惜食」 的文化發揚光大。

藝術是一種感性的行銷；在跨界時尚的火花中， 藝術賦予了美的當代性以及更多元的普世價值。

藝術之於時尚，賦予視野與感性的價值。

為 Dior 迪奧精品的藝術跨界作導覽，藝術策展人胡朝聖說，

雖然具有品牌標誌性意義的「Lady Dior」包款己上市超過 20 年

以上，也歷經了四次國際級的藝術加持，不但展現了與時並進的時 尚魅力，同時引領更為多元的美學。

「藝術讓我認識自己，也觀照著世界。」胡朝聖非常有感於藝

術，由衷地表示，藝術家誠實地揭露自己；像一面鏡子，照映人性 的本質、勇敢、貪婪、苦樂和情傷。當藝術創作選擇以辯証批判、 講述美感或提出問題的方式面對，思考和重新審視時代和人性。

身為藝術策展人對於大眾對於「懂不懂藝術」的質疑？胡朝聖

的經驗，透過接觸，學習和認知；藝術，常常是 wow ！之後一種 生活的展現和生命的體現。

藝 術 沒 有 那 麼 難， 但 也 絕 對 不 簡 單。

時尚領域中，藝術的加持，令人驚嘆，成為品牌結合材質、工

藝上不可或缺的「精品」價值。傳奇皮包的想像與界線更受惠於藝 術引導，直接變成行走的當代藝術。

Dior 廣邀世界知名藝術家依照個人對於「Lady Dior」的認

識及想像，進行一場名為「Lady Dior As Seen By 」（我之所見） 的藝術特展，重溫迪奧先生與藝術的悠久淵源。

2016 年開始，品牌更進一步推出「Dior Lady Art 藝術家創

作計劃」，而且己連續舉行了四年。每次合作的藝術家都是一時之

選，透過包括平面攝影、雕塑、影像裝置等等，非常個人的觀點

和創意重新詮釋「Lady Dior」，使得名媛們心目中的這款知名 It Bag 物化的慾望，凝聚成迪奧時尚精髓的昇華，意義深遠。

各有勝場的每件藝術聯名當中，有幾件作品更是藉由藝術的抒

發，傳達了 Dior 對於時尚的永恆經典。

至於「Lady Dior」包上，鮮明幾何衍縫花紋，是

源自拿破崙三世椅背上古老籐編工藝，最後成為 Dior 非常具有品牌識別的標誌圖案之一。而同樣受創辦人迪 奧先生鍾愛的占卜，也巧妙成了懸掛在提把上的四個品 牌字母金屬掛飾，隨著擺動，撞出響聲，好比「Lady Dior」幸運降臨的祝福！
