he third time’s a charm! Three cheers for the home team! Three is the magic number! Pick from these (or any number of ) clichés about the number three and we think it will apply (with apologies, “three-ring circus” and “three-alarm fire” are not eligible for consideration) when we welcome you to the third volume of Bricks & Mortar magazine. After last year’s inaugural run of two, we find ourselves on issue number three (lucky number three, we think) and in the continued pursuit of our mission: to pull back the curtain and reveal to readers the very best parts of life in and around the greater Princeton area. Indeed, over the course of putting together this trio of issues we’ve grown up—and quite frankly, so has Princeton. In the face of so much geopolitical and social flux, we’ve never been prouder to be part of such a wonderfully progressive community, where thoughtful, open dialogue about important issues such as education, affordable housing, zoning, and economic welfare (specifically in the face of the new tax plan and a changing consumer world) can be found in so many different corners of town. While these conversations do not always end in agreement, there is a prevailing respect and a willingness to listen to others’ perspectives. And as great as all of our restaurants, theaters, parks, and shops are, it’s this mutual respect for each other that makes these places so enjoyable and, ultimately, it’s what defines and makes our area so extraordinary.
That said it’s also important to recognize the unique quality of life here which, when needed, offers a refuge from today’s headlines. Little League Baseball, Memorial Day parades, lectures at Princeton University, and First Friday fireworks are only a few of the area’s slower-tempo staples. Our collective hope is that, within the pages of Bricks & Mortar, you’ll learn a little more about something you already love about life in and around town ... or you’ll discover something entirely new. For example, my family’s favorite lazy-Sunday-morning pastime—brunch at the Inn at Lambertville Station (sitting outside is a must) and driving home past the Golden Nugget Antique Flea Market—might be something you’ve never experienced (if you’ve got a must-do adventure in and around town, share it with us at bricksandmortar@callawayhenderson.com). This give-and-take of shared experiences is just one of the incredible things about this place we all call “home.” And for those of you who are not from this area, we consider it a privilege to highlight some of the people and places that inspire us every day—and we hope you feel inspired, too. Oh, and yes, you may notice a few houses being advertised for sale because we do that, too. Lastly, I’d like to say a continued special thanks to Jennifer Henderson, who works tirelessly to put these pages together, and Laurel Cecila, who does a lot of jumping through hoops on this issue, as well. Thanks very much for reading Bricks & Mortar—we hope you enjoy it and we look forward to hearing your feedback.
Best regards,
Judson Henderson Broker Associate

SCENE & HEARD B L U E S T R AV E L E R AT M C C A RT E R T H E AT R E — Neither snow nor rain nor rolling power outages could keep Blues Traveler from taking the stage at McCarter Theatre on Friday, March 2—or deter the fans, friends, and family who turned out in droves for the rock jam band’s “homecoming” show, the first since they played the theater more than two decades ago. Currently on tour in celebration of their 30th anniversary, Blues Traveler—established in 1987, in a Princeton High School music room—played a selection of songs from their 12-album oeuvre, including classics like “But Anyway” and “Hook,” and tunes from their soon-to-be-released new album. Fellow P.H.S. alum Chris Barron (formerly of the band Spin Doctors) made a special appearance, joining singer/harmonica player John Popper, guitarist Chan Kinchla, drummer Brendan Hill, bassist Tad Kinchla, and keyboardist Ben Wilson on stage for the B.T. favorite, “The Mountains Win Again.” The band was honored earlier in the day by Princeton mayor Liz Lempert, who declared March 2 Blues Traveler Day.
FÊTE DE NUIT: A M O N T PA R N A S S E B A L L —
Photographs by The Princeton Art Museum and Rob Nicolaides (The Watershed Institute).
On Saturday, February 3, the Princeton University Art Museum hosted its annual benefit, this year themed Fête de Nuit: A Montparnasse Ball at Princeton. The gala drew its inspiration from the Parisian avant-garde and the artistic community that flourished in the cafés and studios of the city’s Montparnasse quarter during the 1910s and 1920s. More than 400 guests reveled in the cuisine, music, and ambience of this celebrated creative utopia and the renowned artists who inspired it. The evening also raised critical funds to support the museum’s exhibitions and outreach programs that are offered free of charge to Princeton students, the broader community, and visitors from near and far, so that all can experience the transformative power of art.
S H E D, R AT T L E , A N D RO L L — On Saturday, October 14, the joint—a.k.a. the Watershed Center on the beautiful Watershed Reserve, in Pennington— was jumping when The Watershed Institute hosted its annual fundraiser. This year’s swinging shindig, “Shed, Rattle, and Roll,” was inspired by the bobby-soxing 1950s and featured cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and a silent auction, followed by a seated dinner and a live auction. After some serenading by a barbershop quartet, the rocking around the clock came to a close with dancing and dessert. All proceeds from the event supported the Watershed’s unwavering mission to keep water clean, safe, and healthy, and to protect and restore our water and natural environment in central New Jersey through conservation, advocacy, science, and education.

SCENE & HEARD AN EVENING WITH K AT E H U D S O N — Golden Globe–winning and Oscar-nominated actress, author, and entrepreneur Kate Hudson dropped by Rider University on Thursday, October 26, to discuss her new book, Pretty Fun: Creating and Celebrating a Lifetime of Tradition. Hosted by the Princeton HealthCare System (PHCS) and moderated by local radio personality Chris Rollins, the sit-down with the star ran the gamut as she answered questions about her healthy lifestyle, achieving a positive work-life balance as a single mom, and very simply, having fun. The interview was followed by a signing of the book, in which she shares her philosophy on the importance of creating everyday gatherings as opportunities to connect with loved ones, or as Hudson cheerfully dubbed it, “your tribe.”
Everyone donned their denim best on Saturday, September 23, when the Trinity Counseling Service hosted a hoedown to remember: the third and final Boots ’n Buckles Ball, at the Princeton Airport. Guests enjoyed hors d’oeuvres, cocktails like the signature Rodeo Clown, and a bourbon tasting stand, along with live music by Jake’s Rockin’ Country Band, line dancing, and fun and games including the evening’s main attraction: the bull-riding competition. The event benefited the Trinity Counseling Service, an independent, nonprofit organization providing licensed professional counseling and wellness and educational services in a safe, welcoming environment to individuals and families facing life’s challenges.
T H E S H A R E T H E L OV E D. J . D A N C E PA RT Y — All anyone needed was love when the Friends of the Princeton Public Library hosted the Valentine’s Day–themed Share the Love D.J. Dance party on Wednesday, February 14. Held on the second floor of the Princeton Arts Council, the sold-out soiree indulged guests in the evening’s signature drink, Love Potion #9 (vodka, cranberry juice, prosecco, red wine, lime juice, and strawberries) when they weren’t cutting a rug to the musical stylings of D.J. Rodger Lippman from NJ Sings. Partygoers were able to take five in the custom “Red” lounge, deliciously outfitted with sweet treats from local patisserie LiLLiPiES Bakery. On the red mural positioned at the door for guests to sign, seal, and deliver their thoughts on the party, one reveler wrote: “The Library rocks!”

who TA N E S H I A NASH L AIRD Bringing vibrant color and nourishing artistic spirit to the Princeton community, the Arts Council of Princeton has been a leader in arts education and outreach for more than 50 years. Having dedicated her impressive career to utilizing the arts as a platform for community and economic development, Taneshia Nash Laird now picks up the A.C.P. gauntlet as only its third executive director since 1967, and the first person of color. We sat down with Nash Laird to find out a little more about A.C.P. and the Princeton arts scene, what’s on her nightstand, and, of course, ice cream. On why Princeton art is so special: “We have incredible depth as a community, filled with people who are accomplished in all aspects of the visual and performing arts, and who actively share their work, via the Princeton Public Library and our Arts Council. And there’s the most remarkable, open-to-the-public programming from in-town institutions like McCarter Theatre, Princeton University Art Museum, and the Lewis Center for the Arts.” Her sources of pride: “Our Taplin Gallery has won favorite art gallery in New Jersey six out of the past seven years. I’m also extremely proud of the newly launched Community Stage initiative, which showcases local talent in A.C.P.’s Solley Theater. This first season’s talent ranged from OnStage Seniors to the new ARB2 development company from American Repertory Ballet to Legacy Arts International, which preserves the music of contemporary composers. And in order to expand our faculty, we are also in the process of creating a professional development program to train more artists to become teaching artists.” Favorite things to do, in and around town: “Other than at the Arts Council, you can usually find me with my two prides and joys—my sixth- and second-grade daughters—at the Princeton University Art Museum, followed by a trip to one of the many ice cream shops. That might be one of the best-kept secrets of this town: We have more ice cream shops per capita than any other town I know and they are all amazing. And then there is the shopping …” On her nightstand: “A picture of my late mother, standing in front of ancient ruins in Rome, which was one of her favorite European trips. There’s also my Kindle, smartphone, and a rotating series of books. A nightstand mainstay is a special edition of Vintage Black Glamour, with a padded silk cover and a glorious collection of rarely seen early-20th-century photos of African American actors, educators, writers, students, and musicians.” On her career at A.C.P.: “I grew up very modestly and loved the arts, so I benefited from the work of organizations like the Arts Council. What appealed to me about A.C.P. is there is something for everyone here. I personally believe that the creativity is a catalyst for opportunity. To be able to work at a place that is absolutely at the cross section of the community is a privilege. It’s my honor to be in this role.” Arts Council of Princeton, Paul Robeson Center for the Arts, 102 Witherspoon Street, Princeton; 609.924.8777, artscouncilofprinceton.org.

Springdale Golf Club: Nestled on the historic campus of Princeton University and home to its golf teams, this pretty course was designed by Gerard Lambert and revised by William Flynn. Formed in 1895, Springdale is one of the oldest golf courses in New Jersey but has been brought up-to-the-moment by a full-service clubhouse built in 2007, a pro shop, and a state-of-the art practice facility. Springdale Golf Club, 1895 Clubhouse Drive, Princeton; 609.921.8790, springdale.org. TPC Jasna Polana: Centered on Gary Player’s inspiring course, the lush grounds at TPC Jasna Polana embrace its clubhouse, The Annex, a Georgian Mansion, and Beata’s House, all of which offer meeting rooms and overnight accommodations.

who THE GOLF WHISPERER Whoever said “practice makes perfect” has obviously never played golf. Unless you’re Jordan Spieth, chances are you’ll find your short game falling short, your drive lacking oomph, or your swing less than dazzling. With the plethora of golf options in our area, to whom do you turn? Enter “The Golf Whisperer,” a.k.a. Pennington Golf ’s Corey Krusa, arguably the best-kept secret in local golf instruction.
SENSEI OF GOLF Krusa is modest about his more than 25 years’ worth of coaching experience, finding his nickname funny, flattering, and (as with the origin of most myths) somewhat mysterious. But he does credit his teaching style and, most importantly, his communication skills, with his success. Clear and simple is the name of the game. “Communication is the most important and underappreciated piece of teaching,” he says. “Everyone learns differently and comes from a different background: A golf student might be a mechanical engineer, an elementary school teacher, or a beginner who has never held a golf club, so often I adapt my way of teaching to meet his or her way of thinking.” The joys of his clients’ successes make teaching fun for Krusa, whether they’re adults, children, or the differently abled hitting a shot over water for the first time, scoring their lowest round, or becoming club champion.
RIGHT IN OUR BACKYARD Easily accessed from its unassuming location on Route 31, Pennington Golf Center is run by owner Rick Lutzow and general manager Patrice Adair, both of whom Krusa credits for his 15-year teaching stint here, citing their personal attention to each customer, a full-service golf shop that prides itself on its outstanding club-fitting services, and a comfortable, friendly atmosphere that includes a driving range and mini-golf course. It must be working: In 2017, the Golf Range Association of America included Pennington Golf Center in its Top 50 in the U.S. for Stand-Alone Ranges.

what MORE THAN THE ELEPHANT I N T H E RO O M Aaahh … with the relief that comes from emerging from winter’s cold, cold cave and into warmer temperatures comes a real pull toward freshening up our gardens, our wardrobes, and of course, our homes. But where to go for a punch of color, that special piece of furniture, or the accessory that gleams in the now-abundant sunshine?
Your mama’s consignment, this is not. “Consignment is a fantastic way to attain beautiful, high-quality, designer pieces for about 40 to 75 percent of retail pricing,” she says. Constantly updated inventory continually tempts the eye with its wide variety of styles, all perfectly merchandised to imitate a home setting. “When we share with a newcomer that we are a mixture of consignment and new furniture, oftentimes their reaction is a jaw drop, followed by … This is consignment?!” A self-proclaimed “furniture geek,” Johnson is also an authorized retailer of new furniture lines from companies like CR Laine, Wesley Hall, Harden Furniture, and Cox Manufacturing—hand-selected for their quality U.S.A. craftsmanship. Her eponymous fabric line is available here too: snazzy textiles that pop with color, pattern, and charm, just like the shopkeeper herself. Although the elements and principles of design are the foundation of Johnson’s trade, she’s tickled pink to encounter, say, an Asian motif in whimsically painted details, lacquer, faux bamboo, Greek key, and animal print. “I adore mixing colors and patterns in unexpected ways and I use a great deal of color in my own home, mixed with black and white: checkerboard flooring, large-scale damask wallpaper, zebra print rugs,” she says. “Spaces for entertaining are among my favorite to decorate, but my favorite spaces are wherever my dogs, and my husband, are!” One of our favorite things about The Elephant in the Room is the design course Johnson offers on how to be the aesthetic master of your domain: Each semester, she teaches two-hour workshops through the Princeton Adult School, with cheeky names like “Permission to Use Color,” “To Display or Not to Display … That is the Collection,” and “Design on a Dime/Dollar.” They’re all held at The Elephant in the Room, which Johnson hopes, is “a place of inspiration, confidence, and approachable design—a happy place!” The Elephant in the Room, 1225 State Road, Princeton; 609.454.3378, elephantintheroom.com. 16

Enter The Elephant in the Room, brainchild of designer Cynthia Johnson. “When people have furniture or home decor items that they no longer want or need, no matter how beautiful they are, they become the ‘elephant in the room,’ often causing guilt and a whole host of other unwelcome and unhealthy feelings,” Johnson says. “I take those forlorn elephants, put them in the spotlight they deserve, and find them a new home.” Sparkling with layered strands of turquoise and a warm, spontaneous laugh, Johnson is as colorful and welcoming as her Montgomery showroom. Even her logo is smile-inducing—a Kelly-green elephant, delicately balanced on a chic fuchsia chair—and it’s no surprise that Johnson designed it herself, a credit to her B.F.A. in graphic design and studio art from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, and a recent stint as a marketing and design consultant for a furniture consignment establishment in northern N.J.

where KEEP CALM AND RIDE ON If you’re like us, you’ve never looked more forward to the balmy days and nights of late spring and early summer than this year. Ready for a new outdoor adventure? We suggest breaking out the bikes and heading over to the breathtakingly beautiful Lawrence Hopewell Trail. Winding through Mercer County public and private lands, this 20-plus-mile bicycle and pedestrian corridor winds through open fields, tree-lined trails, and picturesque pathways that supplement the 1,600acre Mercer Meadows Park. The 2001 brainchild of Bristol-Myers Squibb Lawrenceville campus employees, the trail garnered support from the Educational Testing Service on Carter Road and is now a fully realized avenue of transportation for workers and weekend warriors looking to bike or walk their way around Mercer County. Visit lhtrail.org for a full roster of events, including this summer’s Fourth Annual Full Moon Bike Ride, a six-mile moonlit ride through the trail’s meadows and woods. In the market for a tune-up or a new ride? Local favorites Kopp’s Cycle (the oldest bike shop in America) and Jay’s Cycles, in Princeton; Sourland Cycles, in Hopewell; and Halter’s Cycles in Montgomery will set you straight. These shops are drop-off sites for another bright spot in the bike scene: BikeExchangeNJ.org. For the past eight years, volunteers and donors have raised nearly $1 million for the Boys and Girls Club of Mercer County by collecting, repairing, and selling donated bikes from its Ewing storefront.

who SO CIAL SP OTLIGHT Talk about picture perfect! In each issue, we’ll look at our favorite places in and around Princeton through the Instagram lens of our talented agents. Born in Cape Town, South Africa, and a resident of the Princeton area for more than 30 years, Callaway Henderson Sotheby’s International Realty agent Susan A. Cook has a true photographer’s eye for the spaces and places she loves.
Always ahead of its time, Princeton was the first New Jersey municipality to collect food and organic waste for composting, with Lambertville and Lawrence Township close behind as the next in-the-area communities to offer curbside, weekly pickup. Cut to: a recent screening of Wasted! The Story of Food Waste, showcased at the 11th annual Princeton Environmental Film Festival, sponsored by the Princeton Public Library, and shown at the Hopewell Theater. Wasted!, as told through iconic chefs like Anthony Bourdain, Dan Barber, and Danny Bowien, among others, is the story of “one of the greatest problems of the 21st century”: the unimaginable and little-discussed food waste that occurs every day on our planet, in our country, and in our own homes. The sobering facts: a third of all food grown for human consumption ends up in the garbage; American families junk a quarter of their food and beverage purchases, while 800 million are starving; and one head of lettuce emits methane gas for 25 years in a landfill. But Wasted! is not all doom and gloom: This is a film ripe with opportunities for inspiration, creativity, and ingenuity on a global, national, and personal scale. We can start with the basics by eating more and wasting less, with some simple meal planning, smart shopping, recycling, and incorporating the stunning effects of composting. (Nice work, Princeton, Lambertville, and Lawrence!) This film is a must-see with a message that is clear: We can each be a superhero, saving our planet one meal at a time.

A veritable best-of cornucopia of what to eat and drink in Princeton: The dry-aged angus beef burger with Adirondack cheddar and house-made pickles at Agricola. The Dinky Bar & Kitchen’s soft pretzels and spicy pimento cheese dip. The organic egg omelet with ham, Gruyère, and crème fraîche at Cargot Brasserie. The Two Sevens margarita with blanco tequila, lime, and agave. The person who helped make these culinary dreams a reality is sitting somewhat anonymously at a table in the front of the house at his French-style brasserie, Cargot. With the whir of the barista behind the bar churning out cappuccinos and espressos as backdrop, Jim Nawn—Fenwick Hospitality Group founder, gentleman farmer, and local restaurateur—watches as the breakfast crowd slowly turns over to lunch, signaled by the increasing hustle of the servers and the crescendo of laughter and silverware. He appears very much in his element, admiring from a respectful distance the practiced orchestrations of the staff he has carefully assembled—but that wouldn’t entirely be true. Creating what is considered one of the area’s leading restaurant groups was not what he considered his “calling.” “I’m not a foodie,” Nawn says, sipping a coffee, sun streaming in through the wide windows behind him. “I come from a family of six and we ate what was put on the table. For me, it’s about the project, the building, the people, the team-building, the physical space—it’s about creating a feeling, an experience. That is what really excites me.”

C A L L AWAY H E N D E R S O N . C O M
Born in Holden, Massachusetts, Nawn grew up with his five sisters in the same small town where his great-grandfather, grandfather, and father were raised—and where everyone knew their names. He went to nearby Holy Cross College, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts, and after working for his father, Nawn headed to Boston College to get his M.B.A. With that degree under his belt, he took a job with an international pharmaceutical company and spent 11 years in finance and administration while he and his wife, Ann, started their family. Fast-forward to 1998: After signing a development agreement with Panera to franchise 40 units, he went town-hopping through central and northern New Jersey for locations and found Princeton.
“For me, it’s about the project, the people, the space—creating a feeling, an experience. That is what really excites me.”
“I went all over the state with Panera and [decided] Princeton was a good place to do business,” he says. “The energy Princeton University brings to this town, the intelligence, the youth … it’s so vibrant. It’s where Ann and I chose to live—and we really liked living here.” After a brief return to Massachusetts to be closer to family, Nawn made his way back to Princeton and did something entirely unexpected: He sold his units back to Panera; bought a working farm, the 112-acre certified-organic Great Road Farm, in Skillman; and registered at the Institute of Culinary Education in Manhattan. “When I walked away from Panera, I was on my own again,” he says. “I tend to jump into things, but I like to be prepared when I jump. Going to school was a time-management technique so I didn’t jump into something too quickly.” While he worked toward completing both the I.C.E. Culinary Arts and Culinary Management programs, he began to conjure the idea of a restaurant of his own, a gathering place in the heart of the town he now called “home.” He also had his first experience working in a professional kitchen, an externship at a Flatiron District restaurant. The six-week culinary turn gave Nawn on-the-line training in a standardissue high-end restaurant kitchen, complete with the requisite blood, sweat, and spectacle. It also provided him with the insight into what he knew his own kitchen, once he had one, would not be. “One day, the executive sous chef asks me to prepare the vegetables for mirepoix. I get the oil in the pan and I start roasting. Then he comes over and starts screaming at me. To this day, I still don’t know if he was just testing me,” he recalls with a laugh. “I’ve never punched anybody—I mean, not in anger—and if I had been somebody else, I would have taken a swing at him because he was in my face. But I thought, ‘Just keep your head. Nothing we’re doing here is life or death.’” And keep his head he did: After working with a consultant to gather information on the dynamic local restaurant scene, and with Great Road Farm as his culinary muse, he opened his inaugural eatery, the rustic American–themed Agricola (agricola, appropriately enough, is the Latin word for “farmer”) in 2013. The classic English pub–style spot The Dinky Bar came next, in 2016, then the French brasserie Cargot the following summer. And the final jewel in the food crown debuted in late 2017: the Central–and South American–inspired cantina Two Sevens.

“Walking down Witherspoon Street and across town, to me it incorporates everything about the area. It’s good for the soul.”
“Someone said, ‘Heavy is the head of the man who wears the crown.’ And yes, sometimes it is hard, partly because if I could put my hands on it and do it [all myself ], I would. But you can’t do that,” he says. “The [big] business decisions are things I worry about. But the actual operation, when we service, when we open, the details [of that] … that’s all in the hands of the general manager and the chefs and my teams. I trust that they know what they’re doing and, if they need me, they’ll tell me.” A typical workday for Nawn has a fluid, free-flowing quality to it—his “privilege to roam”—and that suits him just fine. He has an office at the farm, where he works alongside his bookkeeper and checks in with farm manager Kyle Goedde. But he’s happiest when he’s making his circuit of town, usually beginning at the bottom of Witherspoon Street, at Two Sevens, where he chats with the staff and occasionally picks up a few tacos to go. Next he walks up the street, past the Arts Council and the Princeton Public Library, and into the heart (and occasional chaos) of town, to Agricola. He then heads up through campus, making his way to The Dinky Bar and Cargot, where he might take a meeting with his business partner (and one-time college roommate,) Rich Galvin, or sit down with his director of operations Billy Van Dolsen, to discuss special projects—like the upcoming gala for the Princeton Public Library, to be held this November, at the new Lewis Center for the Arts, where Nawn’s Fenwick Catering & Events group will be providing a plated dinner for approximately 400 guests. “If you’re walking on a treadmill in your basement, it’s exercise. But walking down Witherspoon Street and across town, to me that’s an experience. It incorporates everything about the [area],” he says. “You inevitably bump into people you know, you see people who are interesting. And is there a more beautiful campus? It’s a really cool [cross section of ] the whole town … and I think it’s good for the soul.” All of this movement, the hellos and hand-shaking, the four-successful-restaurants responsibility, the purveying of so much food, could easily overwhelm a person— or at the very least go to his head. So perhaps the most notable hallmark of Nawn’s quartet of restaurants and, indeed, of the man himself is the calm, level-headed approach to what easily could be daily level-10 drama. His kitchens are places of order and relatively peaceful food creation. He firmly believes in the power of open and honest communication between him and his staff—and he makes himself vulnerable to feedback of all kinds so he can constantly improve upon his processes and practices. This philosophy for running his business also applies to how he wants to live his life—and it’s become a valuable piece of parental wisdom he’s often dropped on his three sons: James, 25; Peter, 23; and Henry, 19. “You grow from [your missteps] and sometimes you’ll be embarrassed [by them]. But you know what? If you can live your life treating victory and defeat with the same response, you’re probably going to be more effective and happier,” he says. “I’ve told my boys this many times: It’s all part of the journey: You can’t get too high and you can’t get too low because you’re only going to be fooling yourself. I think the law of averages would suggest that eventually

Farming is really hard work.”

F E N W I C K AT A G L A N C E Four very different restaurants. It’s something Jim Nawn has worked hard to accomplish, and he’s infused each with its own energy and identity

“I think human life is imperfect, and God gives you what you need to deal with the imperfections. And that, to me, is kind of this whole idea that life rolls out as it does,” he says. “Fifty-two years and nothing bad happened to me. If I think I’m going to escape life without some terrible thing happening to me, that’s [silly].

“I cry a lot now,” he admits. “I married a great woman. [But] I have a great family and good friends. I was given everything I need to put one foot in front of the other for my boys and for myself … and there’s no reason why I can’t get through this.” With the signs of spring (Nawn’s favorite season) finally unfurling everywhere along his regular walking route—from the pear trees along Witherspoon Street to the Japanese flowering cherry trees on campus—and Great Road Farm coming alive with more than seven acres worth of vegetables (the freshly harvested asparagus will be on the menu, of course), Nawn is optimistic about the brave, new world he’s living in—but that won’t include another restaurant. “Ann and I talked about this before she died [as a way] of making things simpler: We were going to enjoy what we had built,” he confides. “So I’m not building anymore. Yes, we’re operating. The investments have been made. We need to operate. We need to [continue to] make each experience consistent and enjoyable, and that’s building on some level, but it’s just not building in physical spaces anymore. There’s not room for another restaurant by Jim Nawn in this town,” he adds. “It’s a great place to do business, but I’ve done all I can. “There’s this Maya Angelou quote: ‘I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.’ That to me is true across everything: business and life and whatever. And in this business, people … their experiences are a feeling experience. It’s not a say or a do. It’s a feeling. And that,” he says, “is what hospitality is all about.”
by the food first and then the environment.” THE DINKY BAR & KITCHEN “We went with something a little bit more straightforward here: elevated bar food. I also view the Dinky as a second bar for Cargot, so these two buildings kind of work together. On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday only, we open for lunch. And when the kitchen closes at Cargot, the Dinky is open later so people can get something to eat if they want.” C A RG OT B R A SS E R I E 98 UNIVERSITY PLACE, PRINCETON; CARGOTBRASSERIE.COM
“Of all the rooms in the restaurants I have, the front bar area in Cargot is my favorite. It’s because I can eat breakfast here. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. I’m typically guided by what I want to put into my body after I work out, like eggs and berries. There’s a key on the P.O.S. which they’ve created that has ‘Jim’s just scrambled eggs.’ But sometimes potatoes and bacon come out, too.” TWO SEVENS 277 WITHERSPOON STREET, PRINCETON; TWOSEVENSRESTAURANT.COM
“Some people have complained about the fact that we have paper napkins here, but this is the place where we wanted to try to draw everybody in—a little more casual, a lower price point, comfortable and inviting and authentic for people. We make the tortillas, which makes a huge difference. And the mole sauce? It’s not from chef Patrick Lacey; it’s from Esther, the grandmother of our front-of-the-house manager, Dago.”

Cars whiz by on Nassau Street. Small World’s delicious-smelling line winds out the door. Work meetings and school days and social commitments run long—and our busy, plugged-in days leave little space for vital reflection or rejuvenation. But just a quick stroll away, in the heart of the Princeton University campus, there is a true respite from the rush of daily life. Fronted by the monumental, jewel-like glass structures commissioned by brother team Doug and Mike Starn, this otherwise unassuming building houses one of the nation’s leading art institutions and one of our area’s greatest treasures: the Princeton University Art Museum.
COLLECTION HIGHLIGHTS Forward-Thinking Feminists, the “Politics” of Marriage, and a Movie Icon Sometimes the story behind the art can as interesting as the art itself. These three masterworks, chosen by P.U.A.M. curators, provide an intimate look at provenance, history, and relevance, as interpreted by an iconic movie star, way-before-their-time feminists, and marital “politics.”
U N I V E RS A L I N SCO PE ,
P.U.A.M.’s world-class collections bring a globe-spanning breadth of art—more than 100,000 pieces ranging from ancient to contemporary—to lucky students, scholars, and the communityat-large. This is home to artist powerhouses like Stella, Warhol, and Homer, who have influenced culture as we know it with their soul, thought, and talent, and who continue to elevate the spirit in a world that sorely needs it. We couldn’t be luckier to have the works of these masters, and so many more, right in our own backyard. Welcoming more than 200,000 visitors a year, P.U.A.M. serves as a gateway to fine art and the University itself. At the helm is museum director James Christen Steward, who keeps “the visitor in mind” with P.U.A.M.’s innovative and dynamic programming, a cornerstone of its commitment to education. Exciting exhibitions, panel discussions, “Late Thursdays” offerings, family friendly activities like Saturday’s “Art for Families,” and synergistic community pairings such as those between the Museum and the Princeton Garden Theater, with happenings like “Modernism on Screen.” Events like these attract visitors from near and far, but perhaps it’s the casual afternoon that carries the most meaning: the quiet hour stolen amid the hurry, when it’s just the viewer and the solace of the art. We sat down with P.U.A.M. curators to get their P.O.V. on an arresting trio of collection highlights, an important bequest by a cherished faculty member, and a new exhibit that will knock your proverbial, art-loving socks off.
Andy Warhol, Blue Marilyn, 1962. Princeton University Art Museum. Gift of Alfred H. Barr Jr., Class of 1922, and Mrs. Barr.
“Pop artist Andy Warhol was fascinated by celebrities and preoccupied with loss, mortality, and disaster. Warhol began producing his iconic portraits of Marilyn Monroe shortly after the troubled actress committed suicide, in August 1962. Around the same time, he began experimenting with silk-screening, a technique he used to reproduce existing photographs repeatedly, as if on an assembly line. Silk-screening tends to flatten the resulting image both literally and symbolically, and even the addition of acrylic paint, applied by the artist, does little to animate the Marilyn depicted here. Blue Marilyn belongs to the “Marilyn Flavors” series, eight of which, including this one, debuted at the Stable Gallery, in New York, in 1962. Like many of Warhol’s Monroe portraits, they are based on black-and-white publicity stills from the actor’s 1953 film Niagara. Alfred H. Barr Jr., a Princeton alumnus and a founding director of the Museum of Modern Art, purchased Blue Marilyn the year it was made and donated it to Princeton in 1978.” C A L L AWAY H E N D E R S O N .

COLLECTION HIGHLIGHTS (CONT’D). Angelica Kauffmann, Portrait of Sarah Harrop (Mrs. Bates) as a Muse, 1780–81. Princeton University Art Museum. Museum purchase, Surdna Fund and Fowler McCormick, Class of 1921, Fund.
“This rare portrait of a self-made woman by one of the few professional female artists of the period suggests an unusual sympathy between artist and sitter. Kauffmann, one of two female founding members of London’s Royal Academy, shows Harrop in the wilderness, a lyre by her side and a roll of music in her hand. The background alludes to Mount Parnassus, the home of the ancient muses, while the lyre likely identifies Erato, the muse of lyric poetry. The sheet music grounds the portrait in the modern world: it is an aria from George Frideric Handel’s opera Rodelinda, Queen of the Lombards (1725). The picture dates from the time of Harrop’s marriage and the music reinforces its role as a marriage portrait. The aria, “Dove sei, l’amato bene,” is sung by Rodelinda’s husband, King Bertarido, in hiding and believed dead, when he learns his wife has agreed to marry the usurper to save the life of their son. This plaintive aria begs Rodelinda to console his soul and laments that he can bear his torments only with her. Harrop, whose husband and mentor was a musician of modest origins and a promoter of Handel’s works, was a celebrated interpreter of the composer’s operas and oratorios.”
Yinka Shonibare M.B.E., Nelson’s Jacket and Fanny’s Dress, 2011. Princeton University Art Museum. Museum purchase, Fowler McCormick, Class of 1921, Fund
“The British naval commander Horatio Nelson (1758–1805) and his wife, Frances “Fanny” Nisbet Nelson (1758–1831), are portrayed in this sculptural pair. As in a traditional matrimonial portrait, the couple’s character and status are conveyed through the attributes of their clothing: the formal coat of a vice admiral and the empire silhouette of Fanny’s fashionable gown. Here, however, Shonibare has crafted these period costumes from Dutch wax fabric—the signature medium of his practice—to call attention to not only the Nelsons’ position in society but also their legacy: the colonial expansion enabled by Nelson’s naval campaigns during the Napoleonic Wars. Inspired by Indonesian batiks, the Dutch and British both produced wax-resist cloth in their competition for control of West Africa—its land, its people, and its luxury market. As the cloth increasingly became associated with African fashion, it also appealed to the colonial impulse to collect and display the cultural artifacts of foreign lands. By positioning these figures in glass vitrines, Shonibare broadens his examination of the legacy of British colonialism in West Africa to contemplate the responsibilities of museums as they relate to practices of collection and display.”

FR ANK STELL A UNB OUND Literature and Printmaking Honoring the 60th reunion of Princeton University alumnus Frank Stella, Class of 1958, the upcoming exhibition, Frank Stella Unbound: Literature and Printmaking, is an unbridled celebration of the artist’s powerful visual narrative, his vision for interpreting written work, and, of course, his longtime commitment to abstraction. Completed between 1984 and 1999 in partnership with master printer Ken Tyler, this collection of 41 works is culled from four major print series and, say P.U.A.M. curators, is the “first exhibition to focus on the vital role that literature played in the artist’s groundbreaking explorations of the print medium.” Four diverse texts provide rich fodder for Stella’s gestural and geometric forms: an illustrated publication of “Had Gadya,” the traditional Passover song; a collection of Italian folktales transcribed by Italo Calvino; the American epic novel Moby-Dick, by Herman Melville; and the illustrated encyclopedia The Dictionary of Imaginary Places. Stella interprets the soul of the texts in works “of an unprecedented scale and complexity” that represent “an active cross-pollination [among] his practices in painting, sculpture, and printmaking that transformed his visual language and working processes in all media.” Clockwise from top left: Then Came an Ox and Drank the Water (1984), Collection of Preston H. Haskell, Class of 1960; Juam (1997), Collection of Preston H.

GILLET T G. GRIFFIN Small Objects, Big Impact Gillett G. Griffin (1928–2016) used his extraordinary eye to see value where others did not. A 38-year faculty curator at Princeton University Art Museum, Griffin began collecting art of the Ancient Americas in the 1960s, a time when few were, eventually shaping for Princeton University “what is widely regarded as one of the world’s greatest collections of the Art of the Ancient Americas,” according to museum director James Steward. Adds curator Bryan R. Just: “Griffin collected while the market under-appreciated the material, so his relatively modest means could afford objects of the highest quality.” Amassing an incredible personal collection in this way, Griffin has now bequeathed thousands of objects to Princeton University, many small in scale but big in historical impact. Other remarkable gifts include Griffin’s collection of children’s books that predate 1846, now housed at New York’s Morgan Library & Museum; contributions to Princeton University Library Graphic Arts Collection; and a collection of Albert Einstein memorabilia, including 50 photographs, that was donated to the Historical Society of Princeton (to wit, Gillett and Einstein were personal friends). But perhaps his most lasting legacy is the way he inspired and excited his students about art. His generosity, incredible knowledge, and spirited personality made him a great mentor to many, including Just, who says, “There is no doubt that the knowledge and enthusiasm that Griffin imparted will continue to teach visitors to appreciate the subtle aesthetic aspects of art as they engage with those objects he has brought to the Museum for that very reason.” Although the curators are hard at work processing, cataloging, and photographing Griffin’s superb bequest, they’ve been kind enough to share a sneak peek at one of the collection’s standout pieces.

Nestled at the foot of the Sourland Mountains, Hopewell is a town at once peaceful and vibrant, quaint and avant-garde. Originally settled in the 1700s and officially incorporated in 1891, it’s often referred to as a kind of “Mayberry”—due to the highly walkable, tree-lined main street dotted with independently owned shops, restaurants for all tastes, and beautiful Victorian homes; the town’s surrounding preserved lands wide enough to wander for miles; and its community of highly devoted residents. It’s the sort of authenticity that cannot be replicated (although some have tried) and so it should come as no surprise that, over the past several years, the area has experienced a renaissance. Freshly invigorated by a group of small-business owners—boutique retailers, restaurateurs, gallerists, food purveyors, designers—Hopewell is growing into not only an ideal place to build a thriving livelihood but also a good, solid spot to plant roots (literal and metaphoric) and watch them grow into something spectacular. We gathered some of Hopewell’s most dynamic entrepreneurs who, with their magnificent blend of small, creative businesses, are redefining the concept of “local.”
Ruth Morpeth (Morpeth Contemporary Gallery): The gallery moved to Hopewell in 1999, from Pennington, where it had been established in 1996. I was actively looking in Lambertville when I drove by the 43 West Broad Street building. I peered in the large windows and saw the potential of the space even though it was quite dilapidated: beautiful, natural light and a wide, open interior. At the time, there was little to recommend Hopewell, in a commercial sense, but Route 518 was a heavily traveled road and the windows provided good visibility.
B&M: IN THE PAST FEW YEARS, THERE’S BEEN A RENAISSANCE OF THE ECONOMY AND CULTURE HERE. HOW HAVE YOU FELT IT? E.A.: When we came, Hopewell was a little sleepy. Many storefronts were empty, and we joked that the sidewalks were rolled up at 2 p.m. But there were great antiques, the little gem of a library, the amazing elementary school, and charm. We figured if we made great things, people would come. And they did!
Tomato Factory Antiques & Design Center
BRICKS & MORTAR: SO, I KNOW SOME OF YOU ARE DYED-IN-THE-WOOL HOPEWELLIANS … Mary Ann Browning (Tomato Factory Antiques & Design Center): My family moved from Princeton to Hopewell in the 1930s. I went to the Hopewell School and then Princeton High School. I attended Parson’s School of Design, in New York City, and then my husband and I returned to Hopewell, in 1961, when the Hopewell Valley Canning Company became available. Robin McConaughy (Double Brook Farm, Brick Farm Market, Brick Farm Tavern): My husband, Jon, is originally from Ringoes, and I’m from Kingston. We moved back to the area from Philly via Manhattan in 2001, as we were starting a family. In 2002, we bought what is now the main property for Double Brook Farm, from John and Kathy Winant, who own Coventry Farm. They liked that we wanted to start a farm—they also liked that we weren’t going to develop the 63 acres.
R.P.: People here like local, they like [patronizing] smaller businesses. It’s the reason we’ve preserved the quaintness of the area, despite the obvious growth. R.M.C.: People in Hopewell do like to buy local. The borough and the township have been great partners in establishing how we achieve our needs versus the needs of the community. Many of the [committee] members are our neighbors and care greatly about making the town better and bringing in a diversity of businesses. The borough puts on events such as Cruise Night and Food Truck Friday that energize people to come in, with families, and enjoy the town. M.B.: I’ve seen the change [reflected in] our business. We draw clients from Princeton, West Windsor, North Jersey, and Penn-Hunterdon county, and they are much younger and more interested in a mix of modern art and antiques. So, in the last few years, we’ve become more diversified, adding more contemporary and Art Deco merchandise, and Rocky Hill potter John Shedd and Umbrella home decor who’ve taken space [in the building].
Bobbie Fishman (The Bear and the Books): I grew up in Hightstown, in the 1960s, and when we learned to drive, we’d head for the hills, and for New Hope. Hopewell was the beginning of where New Jersey could seem attractive to me, compared with the 4,000-person, flat, dairy-farming town that was my home. [Many] years later, a dear friend and teacher of mine who lived just outside of Hopewell died, and my husband and I moved to live with her husband on their land.
B&M: AND HOW DID THE REST OF YOU FIND HOPEWELL? Ellen Abernathy (Boro Bean): We moved from Buffalo, New York, in the 1980s to work for my brother in Princeton. He was one of the two “Toms” (Tom Grim and Tommy Block) of the famous Thomas Sweet. We worked there for more than 25 years. The “Toms” decided it was time to move on—and we did too. The coffee shop became available about the same time, so my husband, Johnny, and I, along with Tom Grim, decided to take it over. That was 10 years ago. Amy Karyn Lichstein (Amy Karyn Home): We’ve been in here for more than 10 years. [We left] Princeton after the collapse of the economy, in 2008. We’d established a business and customer base in Princeton and chose Hopewell for its proximity to the area and ease of access. Rory Philipson (The Blue Bottle Café): Having grown up in Montgomery, I was familiar with the area and always admired Hopewell’s downtown, Main Street feeling. My husband, Aaron, and I had been looking for a turnkey restaurant location in the area. Back in 2006, it was only The Brothers Moon and Soup du Jour; upscale B.Y.O.B.’s were far less common, and it seemed evident that the local community could support another great dining option. We opened Blue Bottle in 2006.
The Blue Bottle Café
B&M: DO YOU FEEL THIS “BLOOMING” HAS CHANGED THE TENOR OF THE TOWN? E.A.: Yes, there is a new energy, a real pulse, but the warmth and charm are still present. With new families coming in, we see the involvement with the elementary school, support for the traditions that the town has come to know, and support for the local businesses. We see people coming in from other towns to our shop, but we get major support from our local folks, and we are grateful. M.B.: Hopewell has added more businesses and restaurants, but it still has that feeling of a small town. A.K.L.: It has to do with the demographic pull, too, as more and more restaurants open, the traffic [increases], as does the town’s ability to draw new customers into its stores. R.P.: The biggest changes, of course, are those that have been brought about by Robin and Jon: the recent remodeling of the Hopewell Theater, the conversion of the old Chevrolet dealer into the incredibly impressive Brick Farm Market, along with Troon brewery, the distillery, Brick Farm Tavern, the transformation of what used to be a Sunoco station into a multi-business space (Step in Stone, Amy Karyn, ThinkForm Architects). The McConaughys have done so much for this beautiful little town.
Brick Farm Market
R.M.: Twenty years ago, Hopewell was primarily known for its antiques shops. The restaurant scene has certainly put Hopewell on the map in recent years. R.M.C.: When I was a kid in the ’70s, I used to breeze through Hopewell [on my way] to New Hope to see my great-grandparents. There was hardly anything here; I’m not sure there was even a stoplight at the time. Since we’ve been here, several buildings have been given a face-lift and extended the downtown part of Broad Street: in addition to our buildings, the Soup de Jour building was re-imagined into Nomad Pizza, the building behind that was Twine for a bit (which has moved near the Tomato Factory, improving yet another unused building), and Blue Bottle brought a funky, graffiti style to its entrance. Yoga and wellness has come to town with Hopewell Being and Sault Haus, among others. And there’s always something happening: Peasant Grill is renovating and moving into a bigger space; the restaurant space behind Boro Bean is under new ownership and, in general, more and more people are moving to Hopewell for the excellent elementary school, the huge swath of preserved land at St. Michaels, and a variety of food and entertainment options within walking distance for borough residents.
B&M: THE COLLABORATIVE SPIRIT WITHIN THE LOCAL-BUSINESS COMMUNITY IS STRONG HERE. R.M.C.: The Hopewell Restaurant Association is the best example I have of the collaborative spirit in Hopewell. We share closings, openings (especially important when a bomb cyclone of snow is blanketing the region), menus, and pricing for the special Eat-In-Hopewell week … Food Truck Friday and Cruise Night offer us an opportunity to talk to other restaurants and plan what we’ll do for the evening. And even though [Jon and I] own the Hopewell Theater, we have other vendors there selling commissary items, such as the Peasant Grill. E.A.: We belong to the Hopewell Restaurant Association too, and have helped plan and promote Restaurant Week Hopewell the past few years. It’s a supportive effort, with the idea being the more people that come to visit this beautiful town, the more they will come back, bring a friend, tell others. We all try to help each other out and be supportive. It’s a great group.

Amy Karyn Home
B&M: WHAT HAS BEEN THE SECRET TO YOUR SUCCESS AS YOUR BUSINESSES HAVE GROWN AND EVOLVED? R.P.: Life balance. Blue Bottle closes two weeks a year, the first week of January and the week of July 4th. Two months after we opened, my mentor wrote me a letter (that still hangs in my office) urging us to slow down in order to avoid burnout. Life is a marathon, not a sprint. Success for us has meant recognizing our limits and not trying to do too much. R.M.C.: The key has been extremely strong community support for what we are doing. People want healthy food, they want to know where their food comes from, and they want a place that is welcoming to buy and enjoy the food. Once the farm started growing, we looked to expand as locally as possible to keep all elements of our business close.
A.K.L.: The collaboration exists because of the desire of all the shops to succeed. We cross-advertise, we recommend each other to customers, we mention places to eat and shop locally. We’re all in tune with our community and try very hard to watch each other’s backs. That’s what is so special about the Hopewell community: So many talented creative people are doing great things for the sake of Hopewell.
B.F.: I suspect the crucial element in any business is to be doing something you love and know a good deal about. I don’t sell books because I think selling them is a money-making proposition; I sell books because I think children will love them, and I think most of the books that get a lot of the marketing money in the world are often not the wonderful books. I believe in the books I sell. And I judge success in terms of happiness: my own happiness made possible by the satisfaction of my customers.
R.P.: Hopewell supports Hopewell. The goal is keeping people close to home—regardless which of our delicious venues they choose to indulge in.
A.K.L.: Attention to detail and going above and beyond for clients. We take what we do seriously and always try to do our very best.

For the past 10 years, Abernathy and her husband, Johnny, have been cooking and baking from scratch—and with love—in the tiny kitchen that is the heart of the Boro Bean café and coffee shop. From its signature muffins and scones to its chili and spinach-artichoke spread, to its chai lattes (from a housemade brew) and coffee drinks, Boro Bean serves up breakfast and lunch daily to its devoted patrons.

A resident of Hopewell for 35 years, Fishman had been selling children’s books in other stores for 15 years when she took the leap into opening up her own shop, The Bear and the Books. With support from customers, new and old, near and far, and a Bear Mail monthly book program, Fishman and her shop are where children and grownups alike come in search of that next, great read: “I expect we will continue as we are, as The Bear and I are pretty satisfied with our lot.”

What started off as a few chickens, some sheep, a duo of pigs, an orphaned black angus cow named Elsie, and a garden grew into Double Brook Farm, the full-fledged meat and vegetable-producing operation owned by Robin McConaughy and her husband, Jon. Today it supports both a retail store, Brick Farm Market, and a restaurant, Brick Farm Tavern, with a local-centric ideology. “We try as much as possible to cut out the middleman and get the products we sell to the customers using our local farm partners and workforce.”

As spring and summer burst forth with color, vibrancy, and anticipation, so too do Sotheby’s fine-art auctions. In a season stacked with superb offerings, three sales offer truly impressive masterworks—and so we turn to our resident expert, Molly Ott Ambler, senior international specialist in Sotheby’s Impressionist & Modern Art department, in New York. Here, she sheds some light on a few of her favorites, providing insight into their diversity, intention, and provenance.
IMPRESSIONIST AND MODERN ART EVENING SALE May 14, 2018 Sotheby’s marquee Impressionist & Modern Art Evening Sale offers an impressive array of works by leading artists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Exemplary Impressionist paintings, modern sculpture, and classic examples of cubist compositions provide fine company for one of the highlights of the sale: Le Repos, by Pablo Picasso (1932), a vibrant portrait painted during the apex of Picasso’s career, just before the opening of his first retrospective at Galeries Georges Petit, in Paris.
LE REPOS Picasso “Le Repos is such an intimate depiction of arguably the greatest love of Picasso’s life. Le Repos is a classic depiction of Marie-Thérèse, and as with most famous images of his ‘golden muse,’ Picasso paints her dreaming, which in and of itself is a very intimate moment. By capturing her while she’s asleep, he seeks to gain access to her subconscious thoughts. You can almost feel how passionately in love he was, not only through his use of sensuous brushstrokes, but also the rich color palette he used throughout the canvas. Picasso worked on this painting at the height of his artistic powers, in 1932, a year underscored by the recent opening of the Tate Modern’s retrospective—The EY Exhibition: Picasso 1932: Love, Fame, Tragedy—which is surprisingly the first solo exhibition of his work ever held at the museum.”

“R AISING THE BAR”: MA STERWORKS FROM THE COLLECTION OF MORTON AND BARBAR A MANDEL May 16, 2018 This single-owner sale of 26 masterworks from the superlative collection of entrepreneur and philanthropist Morton Mandel and his wife, Barbara, benefits The Mandel Foundation and the causes the couple has championed throughout their lives. Amassed over several decades, the collection places equal emphasis on paintings, works-on-paper, and sculpture, and spans many important artistic movements of the 20th century, ranging from Surrealism to Pop. Highlights include outstanding examples by artists, including Joan Miró, Mark Rothko, Roy Lichtenstein, and Donald Judd. Even the title of the sale takes inspiration from one of Mr. Mandel’s early slogans: “Always trying to raise the bar.”
F E M M E, O I S E AU Joan Miró “Joan Miró’s Femme, oiseau, from 1969, is one of the great masterpieces of his mature period. As one of the pioneering figures of Surrealism, Miró often depicted signs and symbols while still referencing recognizable objects, such as women and birds—two of his most popular subjects. I chose this particular work because it can be viewed as two paintings in one: In the background, you have a drip painting, which he made using large, dynamic gestures. And then on the surface, you have a smooth image in primary colors. These elements, coupled with the enormous scale, present Miró’s work in a fresh and daring way for the postwar era. This ambitious work comes from the collection of Morton and Barbara Mandel, who amassed an extraordinary collection that encapsulates the best work of some of the greatest artists of the 20th century, [and] spans numerous artistic movements including Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, Minimalism, and Pop.”
“CRE ATING SPACE”: ARTISTS FOR THE STUDIO MUSEUM IN HARLEM: AN AUCTION TO BENEFIT THE MUSEUM’S NEW BUILDING May 16–17, 2018 An intergenerational group of prominent artists with close ties to the mission and history of The Studio Museum in Harlem will donate important works for auction to benefit the campaign to contract the museum’s new home: a completely new building at its 125th Street location. All of the artists participating in “Creating Space” have relationships with the Studio Museum that span virtually all of the institution’s 50-year history and were significantly impacted at some stage in their careers by the work of The Studio Museum. (Red Shoes also will be offered in the Contemporary Art Day Auction on May 17.)
RED SHOES Sam Gilliam “I’m excited about this work, not only because it’s one of the pieces donated to benefit The Studio Museum—a place I’ve always loved—but also because I’ve been fascinated by Sam Gilliam’s work for quite some time. Red Shoes (2017) in particular is very striking; while it’s abstract, it also has a great sense of movement and energy throughout the piece. Sotheby’s has continued to establish new benchmark prices for Gilliam’s work during our New York Contemporary Curated sales over the past few seasons; in fact, we’ve broken the artist’s record at auction twice in less than a year. And we look forward to another exciting moment for him this May. Overall, it’s very special to witness these incredible talents coming together to support the institution that has helped nurture their careers. That sentiment, along with the works they’ve created for these two auctions, is truly something beautiful that will shape the institution for generations to come.”
