Reflections of 40 Years of Individuality,

individuality

from Tom Casalini.

“Individuality is always an experience. Both of us – subject and portraitist – are equal participants, with equal relevance.” “In 40 years, I have never duplicated a portrait experience.”

“I must first truly understand you. We must communicate. I listen, I watch. We begin to trust.” “It’s not unlike photojournalism of a person’s soul.”

“I have always thought; How do I reach you? Or do I simply create a safe place for you and wait?” “I have found it’s the eyes. Almost always, it’s the eyes.”

“Nothing is ever predetermined. I could never predetermine that moment in your life.”

One of the nation’s premier portrait photographers is in Zionsville, Indiana. He has been for 40 years.

individuality

1990’s

From the Editor-In-Chief A friend of mine who spent time in the hospital public relations business told me that “back in the day” when he was getting started, it was his job to give tours of the hospital to Cub Scout packs, Brownie troops and, with a slight bit of eye rolling, “lots and lots of school kids on feld trips.” He would at some point in the tour stop the group and ask who they thought the most important person in the hospital was. Hands shot up and, as you might expect, the kids shouted out, “Doctors!” My friend has nothing but respect for the medical profession, but he’d tell the children that while the doctors were sure important, they weren’t whom he was thinking of. Try again. Tis time, as regular as clockwork, the hands went up and there was a chorus of “Nurses!” My buddy also respects the work of nurses, but after the kids got tired of playing the game and frustrated because they didn’t have a clue what occupation he was thinking of, he said, “Well, I think it’s the housekeepers and the laundry workers and the people who prepare the food.” My friend says the kids thought he was half nuts. He acknowledged the importance of doctors, nurses, administrators and lab technicians. But, he said, “if the foors in an operating room or patient’s room aren’t super clean, and if the workers in the laundry don’t get the gowns and surgical drapes and towels clean, and if the food prepared in the kitchen wasn’t nutritious and free from contaminants, and if the trash wasn’t picked up regularly and disposed of properly, patients – and maybe visitors and the staf – would very quickly become sick. And that wouldn’t be a good thing in a place that was trying to make patients well.” Tat’s a long way around to the point of this column. I was driving to the ofce the other day, and it was “trash day.” I passed one of those big dump truck-like behemoths making its way down the street. And at every driveway, one of the workers jumped of the truck, grabbed a trash bag or guided a loading arm so it could pick up a trash can and toss the contents into the truck. Tat’s when I thought about my friend’s tour talk to those school kids and was reminded again that without a dedicated corps of workers in professions that some are tempted to look down on, our lives would be anything but sophisticated. Just like the hospital, our communities can’t survive for long if the trash isn’t disposed of properly, trafc lights and signs aren’t kept in working order, our water isn’t treated to remove contaminants, and the sewage from our homes and businesses is not treated properly. At every turn, I’m reminded that there are men and women supporting and improving the lives of their fellow residents. We owe them a huge debt of gratitude. I’m trying to at least express my appreciation. It’s amazing how just two words can create big smiles on the faces of my mail carrier, or the two men who mow our yard, or the “cable guy” who crawls around in the insulation in my attic on a hot summer day just so my wife and I can assuage our “Scandal” addiction. Yup, I’m making it a matter of some urgency to be sure to say “thank you” at least a couple times a day to somebody who’s helped make my life better. And you ought to see what happens when you add a couple more words: “I really appreciate what you do.”

Italian Wine Tasting

Written by Scott Harper, Master Sommelier

What better way of having a wine tasting than with the wines of Italy. Italy is one of the old-world countries that has a deep culture in wine and food. In Italy, wine is food, and when someone has had a bit too much to drink, an Italian may say they have not had enough to eat. For that reason I always suggest assorted Salumi for easy and tasty accompaniment for a wine tasting; try Prosciutto di Parma Capicolla, Bresaola and Salame. Some cheeses would be Pecorino Toscana, Taleggio, Parmigiano-Reggiano and Fontina, and the important conduit for both the cured meats and cheeses – quality crusty Italian bread. A few things to have ready for your wine tasting: Good wine glasses are the most important part of your tasting, except good wine. Here it is easy to go crazy with glasses made to go with specifc grapes, and granted, I have many of these. But flling your cabinet with a dozen diferent glasses for a dozen diferent wines and trying to fgure out each is hardly hitting the easy button. So, I say have two glasses to start off. Size is probably the single most important factor. Undersized glasses reduce pleasure, while oversize glasses can enhance it. Glasses should be able to hold at least 12 ounces, but I prefer upwards to 20. We all should be drinking more sparkling wine, and when you do, it should be from the tall fute-shaped glass, as you want the bubbles to stay in the glass. Make sure it can hold at least eight ounces. Pour the glasses about a ffth of the way to allow for swirling and to develop the aroma. A bottle of wine holds 25 ounces. With the intent on everyone trying each wine, one bottle of wine should serve eight guests. So, divide the number of guest you have by eight and round up and you will have how many bottles you will need. Most Americans drink white wines too cold and red wines too warm. Overly chilled whites or too warm reds mask the aromas and flavors and alter the structure. Try serving whites around 50 degrees Fahrenheit, sparkling around 45 degrees Fahrenheit and reds around 60 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Choose your wines. Despite their long and perhaps difcult to pronounce names, these Italian wines are delicious and worth the efort. I have chosen one sparkling, one white and two reds for you. Try them in the order listed for the best experience, as I have listed them from lightest to fullest.

SPARKLING / Brut Cuvée Prestige, Ca’ del Bosco (Franciacorta {Lombardy}, Italy) - Owner Mauricio Zanella took a trip to Champagne in the late 1960s. Tis trip inspired him to eventually start the state-of-the-art cellar unique to this region named Ca’ del Bosco, which means, “house in the woods.” A delicious Italian sparkler, it is dry with an enticing spice favor of allspice and ginger and fruit favors of yellow apple and pear. Its mousse is impeccable with small creamy uniform bubbles that pop out favor in a rich full body. Perfect as an aperitif, it is made from Chardonnay 75 percent, Pinot Bianco 10 percent and Pinot Nero 15 percent. WHITE / Verdicchio Dei Castelli Di Jesi Classico “Villa Torre”, Tenuta di Tavignano 2011 (Marche, Italy) - Trough the early 1990s Beatrice Lucangeli and Stefano Aymerich di Laconi, transformed their estate, improving the quality of their vineyards and wine production. Marche is located in east-central Italy on the Adriatic. Very dry, light and crisp, this wine has favors of limestone minerals, straw, lemon zest, white peach and apple. Its color is pale yellow, and it is made from the Verdicchio grape. RED / Chianti Classico Riserva, Famiglia Cecchi 2005 (Tuscany, Italy) - Cesare and Andrea Cecchi are the fourth generation Cecchi’s to be involved in Italian wine. Their ancestor Luigi started in 1893; well-known for having a talented palate, he gained experience as a winemaker, wine broker and exporter. Now the Cecchi family lives and works in the small Chianti Classico village of Castellina in Tuscany, Italy. Made from the Sangiovese grape, this is not a simple wine. Ruby red with an orange rim, it has a fresh nose of violets, ripe red cherry fruit and spice with a dry medium plus body that is round and smooth. RED / Barolo, Paolo Scavino ’08 (Piedmont, Italy) - Enrico Scavino runs this winery that his father founded in 1921, aided by his daughters Enrica and Elisa. Barolo is from the northern Italian region of Piedmont. It is made from the Nebbiolo grape, which is arguably one of the best grapes in Italy for red wine. Te color is garnet/ruby with an orange rim; the wine is dry, tannic, very crisp and full-bodied with the favors of blackberries, cherries, leather, earth and roses. sl A Certifed Wine Educator, Scott is one of 118 professionals in North America and 186 worldwide who have earned the title Master Sommelier.

Curating a Lifestyle: On the Hunt

Written by Amelia and Jef Jefers

Sporting guns such as the over-under shotgun, remain in production today and are sought by gun enthusiasts who use them. Inlaid with a silver deer, this example was produced in the 19th Century by Altoona, Pennsylvania gunsmith J.M. Watson. Sold, Garthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, $572.

Few other collecting categories have seen such a consistently bullish market as firearms, with buyers today apparently willing to go to any length to win prized examples at auction. Some speculate that the current market is heavily influenced by the political landscape or a powerful NRA (National Rifle Association), but the rise in collectability and value of antique firearms would be difficult to link to either of these factors exclusively. Undoubtedly there is a crossover audience among buyers of modern, functional frearms who may make decisions based on political concerns and the buyers of early, historic examples who are feeding a passionate hobby. Te distinction that could be made is that collectors of antique arms tend to set their sights on historic context, rarity, quality of manufacture and a beautiful design (incidentally, many of the same factors that infuence collectors who purse antique furniture, art and decorative accessories!). Te history of frearms dates back to primitive, hand-held cannon devices in the eastern world; but, for the purposes of discussing the collecting market, we tend to focus on 18th and 19th century arms from America and Europe. Until the Industrial Revolution, the production of frearms was dependent upon cottage industry (albeit some larger than others) of regional gunsmiths who tailored offerings to their audience. Rifles were produced for the long-range accuracy needs of military

engagement; the shotgun (and its predecessor, the blunderbuss) were generally reserved for sporting and hunting (or, short-range protection). Once large-scale manufacturers entered the scene in the mid-19th century, the arms race was on. Arguably, no other individuals have had more infuence on the frearms industry in the past 200 years than these trailblazers: Samuel Colt, Horace Smith, Daniel Wesson, Oliver Winchester and John Browning. The eponymous companies created by these men have become virtual powerhouses that continue to dominate the feld today, and whose 19th century frearms are the epitome of a seasoned collectorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s focus. As fall approaches, and the traditions of hunting and gathering in advance of an annual Tanksgiving feast come to mind, head out on your own hunting adventure for a beautiful and rugged piece of history to adorn the mantle. With a bit of study, you may be surprised by the options available in this broad category for everyone from a novice collector to the frearms afcionado. sl

Amelia and Jef Jefers are the co-owners of Garth's Auctioneers & Appraisers, an international frm located outside Columbus, Ohio.

Generally speaking, frearms that predate 1898 are considered to be “antique” and exempt from the Gun Control Act of 1968 under the regulation of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (commonly known as the ATF). What does this mean for you? It means that the purchase, sale or transport of antique guns can be conducted by individuals and companies without a Federal Firearms License (FFL) and without a background check and other ATF transfer paperwork and procedures. However, there are some exceptions to this rule, particularly when a gun has been modifed to accept modern ammunition, or in the case of some muzzleloaders that were manufactured in a way that will accept modern ammunition. As with any other collecting category, we always recommend purchasing antique frearms from a reputable and knowledgeable resource.

Te Winchester Repeating Arms Company earned its place in frearms history when their rugged, early repeat-fre rifes became known as “Te gun that won the West.” Tis “Yellow Boy” Model 1866 is aptly named due to the unusual use of a bronze alloy for the receiver. Sold, Garth’s, $7,638.

While a sure-fre option (pun intended) for close-range targets, the blunderbuss (Dutch for “thunder pipe”) lacked accuracy beyond about 15-20 yards due to the spray of the ammunition exiting the fared muzzle, and became obsolete by the 19th Century. Tis English example dates to the late 18th / early 19th Century. Sold, Garth’s, $3,525.

Much like antique furniture, the value of antique frearms can be afected by highly fgured wood, solid manufacturing techniques and overall design aesthetic. Tis special order Winchester Deluxe Model 1886 sold with a letter from the factory in which it was made. Sold, Garth’s, $5,288.

On the verge of bankruptcy due to cotton gin litigation, Eli Whitney applied his concept of interchangeable parts to the manufacture of muskets in the mid 1790’s. After his death, Eli Whitney, Jr. continued to operate the Whitney Arms Company until 1888 when the company was sold to arms behemoth Winchester. Te Whitney-Kennedy lever action rife (manufactured 1879 - 1886) was considered to be one of the most well made of its time. Sold, Garth’s, $4,465. slmag.net

Ferragamoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Florence A legacy of legendary hospitality is the foundation for the Lungarno Collection Written by Bridget Williams

Palazzo Pitti and the Boboli Gardens.

36 slmag.net

A classic tale of an American dream realized, Bonito, Italy native Salvatore Ferragamo moved to the US in 1915 at the tender age of 16. Young, but certainly not green – he made his frst pair of shoes at age nine for his sisters to wear at their confrmation and studied shoemaking in Naples for a year – he quickly gained a loyal following among Hollywood starlets, including Marilyn Monroe, Greta Garbo, Judy Garland and Audrey Hepburn. After studying anatomy at USC to gain insight on how to make his shoes pleasing to both the eye and the foot, he returned to Italy in 1937 and settled in Florence, opening a store in a grand medieval palace, where he extended a hearty welcome to clients that hailed from around the globe.

View of the Ponte Vecchio from a suite terrace at Hotel Lungarno.

Tis history of legendary hospitality and service is the impetus for Ferragamo’s heirs, who have staked a sizeable claim on the luxury travel market in Florence and throughout Italy with the establishment of the Lungarno Collection, encompassing hotels, suites, villas and yachts in the most covetable locales. And, as one would expect from the family of the esteemed atelier, the ft, fnish and attention to detail at each of the properties present themselves as well as the discerning subtleties of a fnely tailored suit. Florence, still the heartbeat of the Ferragamo empire, boasts five properties: Hotel Lungarno (73 rooms and suites), Continentale (43 rooms and suites), Villa Le Rose (a six-bedroom villa), Gallery Hotel Art (74 rooms and suites) and Lungarno Suites (44 suites). While each property is unique and luxurious in its own right, American travelers in particular are drawn to the residential style of Hotel Lungarno, ideally situated on the Arno, the largest river in the region, and offering panoramic views of the famed Ponte Vecchio, the oldest bridge in the city and noteworthy for

the proliferation of goldsmiths and jewelry shops along its span. A well-established hotel prior to becoming part of the Lungarno collection, the Ferragamo family has been sensitive to the property’s history while maintaining its relevancy to the demands of today’s travelers. “Every hotel has a soul – it is born and celebrated, it matures and after some time it may have a face lift and maybe even come out with a new name,” said Valeriano Antonioli, CEO of the Lungarno Collection. “Te very fortunate ones, like the Hotel Lungarno, come to be regarded as Grand Dames.” In Hotel Lungarno’s lobby, touches of saturated navy contrasted with natural linen slip-covered furniture, and creamcolored walls, wainscoting and sailcloth drapery have a cumulative effect of calling to mind the prevailing décor of the Eastern seaboard. Adding to the homey atmosphere are real room keys (versus the electronic credit-card variety) attached to a substantial brass fob that can be left at the front desk when out exploring, as well as more than 400 pieces of art from the likes of Picasso, Cocteau and Bueno that adorn the public spaces and guestrooms.

slmag.net

Each of the spacious guest rooms and suites are unique and boast period antiques, marble-clad bathrooms with Salvatore Ferragamo “Tuscan Soul” signature bath amenities (the latter is common among all Lungarno properties), direct and indirect nods to Italian fashion, and unique views over the Arno and ancient Florence. Our Studio Arno room opened to a small vestibule with mini bar, and we were quick to notice the original artwork, period furnishings and other subtle design touches that elevated the space to feeling like our own pied-à-terre. A large sitting room with a sofa bed provided comfortable accommodations for my daughter; closing the substantial draperies suspended from a brass rod that divided the two rooms provided ample privacy for both of us. Exhaustive amenities aside, the room’s greatest attribute was no doubt the view of the Arno ofered from the bedroom’s large windows and small balcony.

With just nine tables, breaking bread at the property’s Borgo San Jacopo Restaurant is an intimate and memorable experience. In her fve years as Executive Chef, Beatrice Segoni has garnered acclaim and a cult following of her brodetto (bouillabaisse's Italian cousin), frittura di pesce and Tiramisu made with patabon, a kind of cooked zabaglione. Both the fsh broth (a hit amongst the many Japanese tourists that visit the city) and fried fsh originate from her Marche roots. Lounge Bar Picteau is popular among well-heeled Florentines looking to unwind after work or partake of afternoon tea and gourmet chocolates (we were pleased to make the acquaintance of none other than Salvatore Ferragamo, Jr. on one evening). A hearty breakfast bufet is served each morning in an airy room on the Arno adjacent to the Lounge Bar Picteau.

Exterior of the Fusion Bar & Restaurant at Gallery Hotel Art

Detail from the library at Gallery Hotel Art.

Opposite the Hotel Lungarno on the Arno and known as the first Italian design hotel, Gallery Hotel Art was co-conceived by architect Michele Bönan (responsible for the design of all Lungarno properties) and art expert Isabella Brancolini to have a sole focus on international photographic art. East-meets-west design elements are expressed through a co-mingling of design elements such as fne linen, cashmere, Asian woods and Tuscan stones. Suites on the upper foors, three of which are two-story and seven of which feature a terrace, are named after a symbol of Florence. Ivory walls with thin horizontal banding, dark stained wood foors, black and white photography, and arenite sandstone bathrooms distinguish the American-sized guest rooms. The chic and cozy library also functions as a breakfast room, where early risers can squeeze their own orange juice; a light luncheon spot; and a casual cocktail lounge in the evenings.

from the Mediterranean to mainland China. An American transplant, Karim, the head bartender, is known to draw a crowd as he whips up inventive cocktails with great fourish. With a hip interior intended to appeal to young couples, the Continentale, located near Gallery Hotel Art, is also apropos for fans of minimalist contemporary interior design with a hint of midcentury modern. It followed Gallery Hotel Art as the second Italian design hotel. Nearly half of the property is comprised of a medieval watchtower punctuated with small square windows, and the transition from ancient to new can be noted where the interior wall goes from smooth drywall to painted stone. Te "La Terrazza" Bar and terrace on top of the Consorti tower provides a bird’s eye vantage over Florence. A recurring theme reflected in the artwork throughout the property is a retrospective of Italian fashion of the 1950s; Florence was the site of the frst fashion show in the history of Italian design, during which luminaries such as Ferragamo, Gucci and Emilio Pucci laid the foundation for the “Made in Italy” mystique.

Unique interior design details, such as desks that resemble steamer trunks complete with leather handles made by Florentine artists, beds that can be enclosed in sheer white drapery suspended from a ceiling tract, black and white vintage fashion photography, and side tables with large clock face details complement the modern aesthetic. Book the two-level Consorti Tower Suite and enjoy a soak in the oversized tub while gazing at the dome of the Florence Cathedral. "Feet are an important part of the body, they tell a story about the person to which they belong,” said Salvatore Ferragamo. The divine 80-minute White Cloud Signature Pedicure offered at Continentale’s White Iris Beauty Spa by Daniela Steiner, located inside the base of the ancient watchtower, is beftting a house known for its haute footwear. After a gentle exfoliation, a nourishing mask, a massage of the feet and legs, and pedicure, your story will be one people will be clamoring to hear. Te bliss continues with an après-treatment stint in the Tea Room, located on the hotel’s mezzanine level and outftted with plenty of reading material and oversized chaise lounges oriented to take advantage of river and Ponte Vecchio vistas. Fancying the delicate glass orb on the desk in your suite or perhaps the desk itself? You can bring the Ferragamo fourish 40 slmag.net

home by picking up something from the Lungarno Details Store, a favorite haunt of local architects and interior designers and located at the entrance of the Lungarno Suites. Ideally suited for family travel and extended stays, even the smallest room in Lungarno Suites is equipped with a kitchenette, a table for four, a sitting area, dividing sliding doors between the living and bedrooms, and a terrace overlooking the Ponte Vecchio. While the property does not have its own breakfast room, guests are free to dine at other Lungarno properties or take advantage of their kitchen amenities. Tose wanting to try their hand at a “home” cooked meal can have staf grocery shop for them from a provided list. On-site babysitting services are also available for those seeking to experience the romance of Florence sans the kiddos. A stay at the Italian Renaissance-style Villa Le Rose (from €27,000/week) offers the ultimate in luxury and privacy in Florence. Originally owned by the Medici family in the 15th century, the former Ferragamo family home, situated on 64-acres surrounded by rolling hills of olive groves, has been carefully and thoughtfully restored. Requiring a minimum three-day stay for a maximum of 15 guests spread out in six en suite bedrooms, guests stay in the most magnificent, jaw-

dropping surroundings, resplendent with ornate frescoes in all rooms, grand public spaces, private bedroom suites and an abundance of fne Biedermeier antiques. One of the most impressive rooms, the Salla delle Feste salon, can comfortably accommodate 200 guests and has hosted everything from black tie fêtes to family movie nights. Arguably the best amenity is having the expertise of Chef Donatella Zampoli on-site during the duration of your stay. Working with Zampoli and the on-site property manager, a holiday at the Villa is completely customizable. Whether you are looking to stage a seated dinner for two to 400 inside or an al fresco lunch poolside, the experienced team can handle nearly every request. Te afable Zampoli, a passionate culinary artisan, is also a masterful and patient teacher, even helping a cooking-impaired person like myself to make the most delectable risotto I have ever tasted. Custom experiences available to guests of Villa Le Rose include private visits to the nearby Ducati and Lamborghini factories, private wine cellar tastings in the Chianti countryside with an expert sommelier (including the Antinori and Frescobaldi cellars), and hunting excursions for wild boar, pheasant and other game, with the catch of the day expertly prepared by Zampoli.

Guests of all Lungarno Collection properties receive complimentary access to the Ferragamo Museum (museoferragamo. it), while suite-level guests receive a private tour and access to the limited-edition section of the Creations Boutique Santa Trinita Boutique, where historical Ferragamo shoe collections, accessories and a 10% discount on purchases await. Legend has it that located in the basement of the medieval palace Palazzo Spini Feroni, purchased by Ferragamo in 1938 for his company’s headquarters, there is a well in the cellar where Beatrice, the love of Dante’s life, went to fetch water. Te museum ofers a superbly curated life journey of the “shoemaker to the stars,” with pieces selected from over 10,000 models in the museum’s archives and augmented by biennial special exhibitions that explore contemporary fashion themes through Ferragamo shoes. Ferragamo had the foresight to keep a copy of every oneoff shoe he made, making it truly amazing to ogle examples of footwear considered leading edge in the 1930s, and just as fashion-forward and desirable on the feet of a fashionista today. Florence is a place of eternal enchantment, a feeling best summed up by Antonioli, who remarked: “Florence is a city of love, anytime day or night you will fnd people holding hands or kissing. It’s hard not to have that rub of on you.” slmag.net

Six months after my purchasing potpourri contained within a reproduction pharmacy jar from 1508, it still emits enough fragrance to conjure pleasant memories of my trip. Lo Spillo – Near Hotel Lungarno on Borgo San Jacopo, this antique jewelry store is so small it can only admit one customer at a time.

Osteria il Porcellino – Opened in 1969 and just steps from the Piazza della Signoria and the Ponte Vecchio, my daughter still raves about the filet with balsamic reduction.. sl

A 1934 Packard 1108 Twelve Dietrich Convertible Victoria, owned by Joseph and Margie Cassini III of West Orange, New Jersey bested 248 historic automobiles from 36 states and 12 countries to claim the Best of Show title at the 63rd annual Pebble Beach Concours dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Elegance, held along the famed 18th fairway of Pebble Beach Golf Links. Te Packard Twelve is considered by many to be one of the fnest automobiles produced by Packard and one of the most signifcant creations of the Classic Era. Apart from a 2007 win by the 1935 Duesenberg SJ Speedster known as the Mormon Meteor, this win marks the frst for an American car in nearly twenty years. "Tat makes this win even more special," said Joseph Cassini III, who also took Best of Show at Pebble Beach in 2004 with a 1938 Horch 853A Erdmann & Rossi Sport Cabriolet. "It's nice to

see that even the European judges found this car signifcant enough to win Best of Show." The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is most often recognized as the world's premier celebration of collector cars, but an increasing number of new cars also made history here, with more than 20 concepts and new production cars exhibited on the event's "concept lawn"--what is normally the practice putting green in front of The Lodge at Pebble Beach. "We're committed to showcasing the very best of the automotive world, past and present," said Sandra Button, Chairman of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. "We want to celebrate the whole of automotive history--and we're thrilled to be making history, too." Impressive performances were recorded among the major auction houses that staged sales throughout the Monterey Peninsula

during the week leading up to the Concours, with some estimates placing the total spent up more than 30% over the previous year. Gooding & Company, ofcial auction house of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, realized more than $53.7 million during the frst of its two Pebble Beach evening auctions. Te company sold a 1957 Ferrari 250 GT 14-Louver Berlinetta for $9,460,000, setting a world record for a Ferrari 250 Tour de France. At RM Auctions, another Ferrari – an ultra-rare 1967 275 GTB/4*S N.A.R.T. Spider – sold for $27.5 million, making it the most expensive car ever sold at auction. The most popular car at Bonhams 16th annual Carmel automotive auction – the longest running sale during the Monterey Peninsula Car Week – in terms of consistent admirers and sales price was a 1931 Bentley 4.5-Liter Supercharged Le

Mans racer from the Charles R.J. Noble Collection. Spirited bidding in the salesroom and on the telephones elicited excitement among the crowd as the car realized $4,647,500 from a private European buyer, resulting in a new record for a production blower Bentley. As the events surrounding the Concours and Monterey Car Week have grown in popularity, the philanthropic arm of the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance has increased its impact as well, raising more than $1.27 million for its charitable endeavors in 2013, the eighth year in a row that charitable donations have topped the $1 million mark. “We are proud to host an event that not only contributes to the international stage, encouraging automotive excellence, but also returns so much to the local community,” said William L. Perocchi, Pebble Beach Company CEO. sl

Goodwood Festival of Speed Called “the largest motoring garden party in the world,” the Goodwood Festival of Speed, held on a portion of the 12,000acres of manicured grounds that comprise Goodwood House in West Sussex, England, celebrated its 20th anniversary in July and honored one of the world’s most popular sports cars – the Porsche 911 – as its main Central Feature. Over 820,000 Porsche 911s have been built since 1963, and examples of each of its seven generations were present at the 2013 Festival of Speed. The legendary sports coupe has been featured at every single Goodwood Festival: from the frst event in 1993 when an unexpectedly high 27,500 enthusiasts turned-up, to the record 196,000 visitors that attended the world’s greatest celebration of car culture this year. Commanding spectators’ gazes skyward was a bespoke 911-inspired sculpture prominently displayed outside Goodwood House, the seat of the Dukes of Richmond and home to both motor-racing and horseracing tracks, an organic farm, golf course, an aero club, a sporting and social club, and a hotel.

than 100 feet into the sky – the tallest in the Festival’s history – the sculpture’s three futuristic white, steel “arrows” raced upwards, each with an example of a 911 at its apex: an early Golf Blue coupe from 1965, a Yellow 2.7 RS from 1973 and an allwheel drive “Type 991” Carrera 4. The Cartier Style et Luxe Concours d’Elegance, the Goodwood Hill Climb, Supercar Run, Moving Motor Show, Soapbox Challenge and the FAB1Million project were among the events included under the Festival of Speed umbrella. Nowhere else on earth could fans see two ex-Campbell Bluebird Land Speed Record cars on display, while taking in Bob Riggle wheeling up the hill in his Hemi Under Glass Plymouth Barracuda, Peter Fonda waving to the crowds from his Easy Rider Harley-Davidson chopper, two-time winner of the Le Mans 24 Hours and German Touring Car Champion HansJoachim Stuck, current 911 RSR factory team driver Jörg Bergmeister, soap box racers hurtling past Goodwood House, the Vulcan bomber fying overhead, Nico Rosberg doing burnouts in his F1 Mercedes, eight of the current F1 teams, plus

over 150 motor racing heroes: from Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton to Emerson Fittipaldi and Kenny Roberts. Now in its 19th consecutive year, the 2013 edition of the Style et Luxe concours d’Elegance featured 50 headline vehicles from the event’s history selected for their rarity and beauty. After much debate between the judging panel – including Apple designer Jonathan Ive, Oscar-winning film director Hugh Hudson and model Yasmin Le Bon – the overall 2013 Cartier “Best of Show” was awarded to an exquisite 1955 Lancia Aurelia B24S Spyder, entered by J D Classics, a real accolade given the carefully selected competition. Goodwood paid tribute to McLaren on its 50th anniversary, with racing examples of the marque tackling the 1.16-mile hill climb each day. Some 30 supercars sped up the incline, several for the frst time, including the Continental GT3 from Bentley piloted by 2003 Le Mans champion, Guy Smith; Maserati’s GranCabrio MC, GranTurismo MC Stradale four-seater and the new Ghibli, which made its UK debut; and the Rolls Royce Wraith, driven by Justin Law. BMW lined up nine extraordinary BMW racing cars and motorcycles piloted by world-renowned personalities for the hill climb. Te company’s involvement was headlined by two very special anniversaries: the founding of BMW Motorrad 90 years

ago and Nelson Piquet’s Formula One World Championship win with the Brabham BMW BT52 30 years ago. Bonhams made automotive history at its Goodwood auction when it offered 63 collectors’ motor cars for a staggering £36 million. Tis result made it the highest grossing motorcar auction in Europe. The sale also achieved world auction marque records for both a 1954 Mercedes-Benz W196 Grand Prix at £19.6m and a 1955 Maserati 300 S at £4m. Te W196 becomes the most valuable motor vehicle ever sold at auction, beating by some distance the previous record of £10,086,400 set by a Ferrari in 2011. The Festival culminated in a Timed Shootout on Sunday afternoon up the hill climb course, which features a mix of twists, turns and narrow straights. Festival favorite Justin Law posted a blistering time of 45.95 seconds in his Jaguar XJR8/9. However, the overall Festival Fastest Time of Day in a nail-biting 45.86 seconds was shared jointly by Gregory Gilvert in a Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak and the Goodwood Hill Climb record holder Nick Heidfeld in a Lola-Toyota B12/60.

Te Great Artdoors Bespoke Global’s leisure line speaks to sporting connoisseurs

Launched in May 2011 as an international e-commerce platform for topdrawer bespoke home furnishings and accessories, Bespoke Global flls an important niche: connecting some of the world’s most talented artisans with visionary consumers who appreciate their unique skill sets. At present, 90 artists and designers are represented, encompassing everything from porcelain and stoneware to casegoods crafted of rare and exotic materials. “Our global artisans challenge, mystify and entertain,” said company co-founder Gwen Carlton. “Teir toil is part playground, part laboratory and part untamed territory. We embrace bespoke for refusing to give in, for all its refned beauty, genius and surprise.” The company debuted a new leisure line in December of 2012 with a lineup of completely customizable kayaks, canoes, falconry hoods, fly fshing rods, backgammon boards and game tables. Te pieces are designed for sporting connoisseurs seeking to add an exclamation of artistry to their activities. Nick Schade’s “strip-built" wood kayaks are a perfect example: built for high performance paddlers, after a day on the water it would be a shame to relegate its storage to anywhere that didn’t let one admire the boat’s exquisite craftsmanship. Te Museum of Modern Art agrees; it has one of Schade’s functional works of art in their permanent collection. Te artisan’s Petrel collection, created exclusively for Bespoke Global, pays homage to the petrel bird, a tube-nosed seabird named after Saint Peter by early fsherman for its habit of futtering along the surface of the water as it feeds. Tough Schade’s "Petrel" is designed to walk on water during late season swells, it is also suitable for futtering across more sheltered waters.

Ranch to Regal Arden masterpiece exudes luxurious functionality Written by Neil Charles Photography by Andrew Kung

70 slmag.net

Assertive, not overbearing; confident, not brash; masculine, not macho: such impressions spring to mind during a leisurely stroll through our featured home, nestled on a quiet corner in Arden. Tese adjectives might equally well apply to the householder: acclaimed and award-winning salon stylist to the stylish, David Lowry. Approximately halfway between the DL Lowry Salons in Nora and at 49th and Penn, this home is base for the successful businessman and single father of three. Te elegant residence presents visitors with an impression of unforced European charm combined with American urban refinement. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a study in careful contrasts and harmonies, created from a subtle palette of neutral whites and earth tones, projecting a sense of almost zen-like tranquility.

slmag.net

Clockwise from top left: Te antiqued English table and one of a kind chairs were discovered at Beauchamp Antiques in Westfeld. Te ‘C’ on the substantial front door stands for Crane, as in the former Chicago family mansion. A statement piece in the entry was given to the homeowner by dear friend and acclaimed photographer, the late Pamela Mougin. Te staircase, custom built, continues a theme starting with the elaborate wrought iron work of the front doors.

Old-world elements make strong statements throughout Lowry’s former ranch home, now completely rebuilt as a stately two-story. Te only vestige of the original structure is to be found in the outline of the main-level rooms. A rough-hewn stone pathway leads up a slope from the drive to the front door, a door whose double-hung wrought iron gates once graced the former Crane mansion in Chicago. Hand-forged by German craftsmen in the late 19th century, these masterpieces of the ornate weigh in at over 700 pounds apiece, and had not been rehung since their original place of residence was demolished in 1950.Te intricate wrought iron motif is picked up by the balustrade running up the ebony-stained walnut staircase. Having rebuilt the house over a decade ago, Lowry only recently moved back after leasing it out for several years. With its split levels and rooms which defy standard proportions, the home always presents a new angle or mini vista to delight the eye. White and paler shades dominate, with occasional contrasting elements providing counterpoints and highlights. Designer Shannon Connor was tasked with breathing fresh life into the house, lightening up dark surfaces, refnishing others, and completely remodeling the kitchen, in which David frequently prepares meals

for numerous guests. Fully equipped with the fnest equipment a home chef could ask for, the brightly illuminated space provides a natural gathering spot, combining comfort with utility, ofering plenty of room for family and guests to congregate. A keen cook and lover of fne wine, his tastes run to the cuisines of Italy and Provence, in the latter of which the seasoned traveler has spent a considerable amount of time. In the downstairs wine cellar, with its massive antique doors (discovered in Arizona), the sharp-eyed oenophile might recognize a number of lesser-known and highly sought-after bottles from the south of France and Bordeaux. In the spacious and airy dining room, the fireplace is from France, via Beauchamp Antiques. In striking contrast with the white walls and travertine floors, the imposing hearth is accented above by a vibrant black and white abstract artwork by Michelle Williams. At the center of the room, the table, a substantial, antique-character piece from England, is complemented by one of a kind dining chairs, each re-leathered and re-studded, creating a solid focal point for more formal gatherings. Tere’s a hint of the medieval banquet hall about this room with its hard surfaces and sharp angles.

Continuing the color scheme from the main foor, the master bedroom is a study in elegant comfort.

Unique artwork including an Ecuadorean dresser highlight the cozy guest room.

Stepping into the library, it’s clear that this is one of Lowry’s favorite rooms. Previously a bedroom when the house was just a single foor, this bachelor’s study provides a cozy and contemplative contrast to the breezy open spaces of the public areas. Hand-carved walnut paneling from a 17th century Italian nobleman’s home, brought to Beauchamp Antiques by way of Peru, lines the walls. Coincidentally, the panels and walls shared identical proportions, allowing for a perfect ft. A local carpenter replaced damaged sections with new wood, creating a seamless whole. Here again, dark wood provides a warming contrast with white furniture and stone foors. Back in the hallway, with its travertine foors, the owner’s eclectic taste is again on display. A solid rustic wardrobe, from the family farmhouse in Washington, PA, formerly provided a hiding place for a very young David Lowry. Speciallycommissioned artwork provides a splash of dramatic color to the elegant powder room. Elsewhere, beautifully-composed

photographs of the stylist’s work, as well as portraits of his children, all by the late Pamela Mougin, provide masterful contrasts in black and white, while an imposing depiction of Cleopatra, by an unnamed Dominican artist, looms imperiously over the curving staircase. From another era, three dynamic, ultra-modern chandeliers by New York artist Michelle James supply illumination to the main entrance. Upstairs, the master suite is all new. As befts a celebrated stylist, the bath is a restrained statement in luxurious functionality. The guest room, with its plush furnishings and eye-catching artwork, offers a more vivid palette. Elsewhere, picking up on the Latin theme established by the Dominican art, a massive wardrobe (which cost more to ship home from Guatemala than it cost to buy) is flanked by crocodile skin-covered armchairs. As with virtually every other piece in this cool and stately home, there’s a story here, part of a richly-textured fabric, a refection of David Lowry’s uniquely personal and multifarious style. sl slmag.net

TAKE COMFORT

Written by Neil Charles Photography by Andrew Kung

slmag.net

A month or so after 10-01 Food & Drink opened its doors for business in 2011, I paid a visit, excited to see what the city’s latest farm-to-fork eatery would have to offer. The concept was right on the money as far as contemporary dining is concerned: locally-sourced comfort food served up with the restaurant’s own uniquely defining twist. It represented everything I enjoy about today’s Midwestern cuisine: tasty, impeccably-prepared food from the fnest available ingredients; simple, wholesome and unpretentious. Just like me, in fact. On paper, this place was a sure-fre winner. Te problem was that the kitchen fell somewhat short of its own ambitions. In spite of the cool, inviting décor and down-to-earth, friendly service, the cooking just didn’t gel, and I couldn’t escape the feeling that the place displayed all the signs of becoming a short-lived venture. Happily, my fears turned out to be unfounded, because, in the intervening months, a transformation has taken place. With well-seasoned chef Dan Dunville in charge of the kitchen, owners Natalie Wolfe and Jef Cart now fnd themselves successfully ensconced at the helm of a vibrant, bustling restaurant which these days seems to consistently appear near the top of everyone’s best of lists.

A self-described “serial entrepreneur”, owning a restaurant was never part of Natalie Wolfe’s plan until it occurred to her that there was a need in Broad Ripple for precisely this kind of establishment. In spite of its plethora of restaurants, whether fne dining or not-quite-so-fne, the Village had never been home to the sort of locally-sourced experience that is so in demand today. After an enjoyable period of research and development in Chicago and San Francisco, the concept for 10-01 was brought into focus. “You have to be aware of where you are,” explains Wolfe. “Tere are so many new trends and cutting-edge developments out there, but we are in the heartland here. I felt that our restaurant would have to be comfy, casual and inviting. I’m a business person who really likes to eat, and I love to see happy people eating our food.”

slmag.net

For Chef Dan, the opportunity to kick back a little and create great food in a casual environment presented a timely but bittersweet departure from his lengthy stint at Meridian. The decision to leave wasn’t easy, as Dunville had invested tremendous time and energy in that upscale eatery, but the challenge represented by the new venture held enormous appeal. A graduate of The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY, Dan’s colorful culinary experience had taken him to five continents and forty countries, including stints as an assistant tour guide and high-altitude cook in the Himalayas and the Andes. A former student of anthropology, he was drawn to cooking at an early age, and brings to 10-01 a degree of discipline and expertise that only decades in the business can build. Chef Dunville’s initial reaction to seeing 10-01’s menu cannot be recorded verbatim in these pages; sufce to say that he approached the project with an initial degree of trepidation. Although the menu remained largely the same, Dan changed most of the recipes, streamlining and simplifying while improving quality, all without cutting corners or compromising the dining experience. “A great cook is still only a cook, but a chef has to be able to do the numbers too”, he explains. Te switch in culinary style doesn’t seem to faze the chef: he loves food regardless of its pedigree, as long, of course, as it’s good. “It’s all about having respect for the ingredients. I’m not a snobby eater, and you don’t have to be a three-starred restaurant to impress.”

92 slmag.net

Many of Dunville’s loyal diners have followed him to 10-01, and now the hopping Broad Ripple Avenue joint enjoys something of a more varied clientele than before. Hipsters mingle with hip replacements, and brown spirits take their place alongside the white. Te demographic might be all over the place, and refreshingly so, but the food and drink most certainly isn’t. At the core of the drinks menu is a solid foundation of local beers, selected by partner Jeff Cart, ofering some excellent, less-well-known brews, such as New Albanian’s splendid and food-friendly mild. Signature cocktails include the refreshing and all-too-easily sippable 10-01 With A Twist, made with St. Germain liqueur and sparkling wine, served in a carafe for two. It’s the perfect pre-diner cocktail for late summer people-watching above the Avenue. As far as the menu is concerned, eat what you will. It’s all delicious. But, if you really want to create a lasting memory, one you can pass on to your grandchildren, then you have to try the fried chicken. On paper, it might not look like much; no description, no hyperbolic assertions that this might be the best fried chicken you’ve ever eaten. But it is far and away the greatest I can remember, and from now on every time I have a taste for fried chicken, this is the one I will be returning to. As for how it’s prepared, all we can divulge here is that it’s brined frst. Ten the magic begins. To learn more, you’ll just have to visit 10-01 yourself. sl 10-01 Food & Drink is located at 1001 Broad Ripple Avenue. For more information, visit 1001fooddrink.com or call 317.253.1001.
