LIVE FROM NEW YORK

CITY AS STAGE Launched by critic and art historian Roselee Goldberg in 2004, Performa has deﬁned itself as alternately challenging and enrapturing jaded art audiences with memorable and multifarious live events. With 592 performances under its belt, in year ten the biennial retains its power to surprise. “It’s a step off a cliff, in a way,” says Goldberg of the commissioned projects. “Everything we do is 100 per cent risk and 100 per cent trust in the

artist, because we don’t know what we’re getting until the end.” This edition looks to the past – to the Renaissance, in fact, where Goldberg says the idea of performance as an integral activity for artists originated. Fanning out into sites all over the city, Performa features a cinquecentoinspired performance from Francesco Vezzoli and American Ballet Theatre principal David Hallberg, as well as a weeklong pageant by Pauline

Curnier Jardin. Robin Rhode is bringing his street smarts to a staging of Arnold Schönberg’s solo opera Erwartung (Expectation) amid the bustle of Times Square, while previous participant Jesper Just returns with a multigenerational narrative and an installation that allies One World Trade Center with the romantic doom of Caspar David Friedrich.

Painting was Picasso’s self-avowed mania. Forty years after his death, his work is the object of other people’s obsession – at least for the nearly 80 artists in Picasso Mania at the Grand Palais, co-organised by the artist’s granddaughter Diana Widmaier-Picasso (left) with Didier Ottinger of the Pompidou’s Musée national d’Art Moderne and Emilie Bouvard of the Musée Picasso. What sets it apart from other shows that have considered the master’s influence, says Widmaier-Picasso, is the inclusion of 100 works by her grandfather, among them a selection secured from the Picasso family and her mother, Maya Picasso. Interspersed are more than 300 contemporary examples. “We selected great artists whose work showed the evident influence of Picasso,” says Widmaier-Picasso, who shares the allure and sculptural features of her grandmother, Picasso’s mistress and muse Marie-Thérèse Walter. Among the recent works are Maurizio Cattelan’s Untitled (Picasso), 1998, a fibreglass statuette of the painter in a striped sailor jersey, and such paintings as David Hockney’s colourful Harlequin, 1980; Roy Lichtenstein’s Woman with Flowered Hat, 1963; and Jasper Johns’s series The Seasons, inspired by Picasso’s Minotaure à la cariole of 1936. That painting and others from the family’s collection “have rarely been exhibited,” explains Widmaier-Picasso. “It’s a very special show.” A section in Picasso Mania devoted to Guernica illuminates the artistic consequences of the love affair between Picasso and Walter, who appears three times in that work – as the desperate running girl, the light-giving figure holding a lamp and the mother wailing over her dead child. “I believe she is an incarnation of hope for Picasso,” says Widmaier-Picasso of her grandmother. One Guernica-inspired piece in the show is an installation by Polish artist Goshka Macuga that considers the work’s complex political legacy. WidmaierPicasso admits she was surprised by the extent of Picasso’s influence on film and video, such as Rineke Dijkstra’s I See a Woman Crying (Weeping Women), 2009, for which the artist filmed museumgoers’ reactions to the painter’s famous depictions of crying muses. “Picasso gave many artists permission not just to create, but to invent,” says Widmaier-Picasso. “Let’s hope this freedom will inspire many more generations to come.” Picasso Mania, Grand Palais, Paris, 7 October–29 February 2016. —JEAN BOND RAFFERTY

OTHER-WORLDLY

WILD THINGS Multimedia artist Diana Thater believes that “Through animals, we can see other ways of living and being in the world.” And through The Sympathetic Imagination, the ﬁrst comprehensive survey of her immersive ﬁlm, video and architectural installations, Thater hopes visitors will experience alternate forms of time and space, too. Early works such as Oo Fifi, Five Days in Claude Monet’s Garden, Part 1 and Part 2, 1992, an interactive meditation upon the painter’s landscapes, as well as her recent Life Is a Time-Based Medium, 2015, featuring a Hindu temple overrun by monkeys, testify to the artist’s ongoing interest in nonlinear perceptions of reality. Referencing J. M. Coetzee’s experimental novel Elizabeth Costello in the show’s title, Thater contends that “engaging with alternate ideas of embodiment will lead us to be in concert” with the world we live in.

EXPATRIATE LIVES

ART SPEAKS Hannah Rothschild’s latest novel deftly pings between comedic romance and biting satire of London’s art world. The Improbability of Love is the title of a lost masterwork, unwittingly purchased by a recently jilted chef, who gets mixed up with a ruthless art-dealing dynasty that wants the painting back at any cost. The picture holds secrets, and in a risky conceit that’s surprisingly successful, it speaks as a narrator. The ﬁctional dealers and auction specialists are so accurately drawn that readers may try to guess their real-life counterparts. But any similarities are probably pure coincidence. —MEGHAN DAILEY

and the Museum Ludwig, where it is showing now, the exhibition gathers 30 major canvases, some of which are loans never before shown publicly. Also on view for the ﬁrst time is a trove of archival material that includes letters between the artist and friends such as Frank O’Hara and Samuel Beckett, photographs, ﬁlms and posters, all from the holdings of the Joan Mitchell Foundation.

BY THE BOOK

The Chicago-born painter Joan Mitchell burst onto New York’s avant-garde scene in 1951, exhibiting and socialising alongside de Kooning and Pollock. This was no small feat for a woman in a hypermasculine art world, even one as toughminded as Mitchell. In 1959, she decamped for Paris, lured in part by the legacy of her artistic heroes, such as van Gogh. So it’s not surprising that European institutions are presenting the most signiﬁcant retrospective of her work in a decade. Organised by Austria’s Museum Bregenz

ABSTRACT THINKING

GLOBAL CURRENTS Parades and parties marked the 50th anniversary of the island state of Singapore’s independence in August, but the celebration continues this autumn. The National Gallery Singapore, dedicated to South East Asian art, is opening 24 November, and Sotheby’s is marking its 30th year in Singapore with A New Dialogue, a selling exhibition of abstract paintings from the 1960s to the present. Created by 21 influential South East Asian artists, the 57 works on view – by Singaporeans Cheong Soo Pieng, Wong Keen and Tang Da Wu; Malaysia’s Ibrahim Hussein and Latiff Mohidin; and Thailand’s Maymay Jumsai, among others – come directly from the artists and from select private collections. All invariably reflect the painters’ local contexts, as well as the influence of American and European art, notes Koh Seow Chuan, a longtime collector of abstraction from the region. “Singapore is like a cradle of globalisation, where we are unknowingly influenced by the best values of the East and the West,” he explains, adding: “You can see the artists capturing these values in composition, in colours, in their methodology.” For example, Filipino Pacita Abad paints vibrantly on Batik material, while Lim Tze Peng uses traditional Chinese ink for his avant-garde compositions. “This exhibition demonstrates that the blossoming of art in South East Asia is beginning to be noticed by the world,” says Koh. It also proves Singapore’s continued blossoming as an art destination. A New Dialogue, Sotheby’s Singapore, 30 October–2 November. —JOHN BRUNTON

Frank Stella was just 23 when the Museum of Modern Art included his Black Paintings, large canvases covered with geometric patterns painted in black enamel, in its Sixteen Americans show in 1959. In Stella’s hands, paintings became objects in their own right: “What you see is what you see,” the artist would later say of his output. Familiar with the gestural Abstract Expressionism that had deﬁned the New York scene, the public found this literalism shocking. Stella, now 79 and still making art, may no longer scandalise, but the Whitney’s full-career retrospective of around 100 works is sure to hold surprises. From his shimmering shaped-canvas Aluminum and Copper paintings and his Protractor series of colourful interlaced arcs and lines to recent sculptural pieces that seem to explode off the wall, Stella has taken a different radical turn at every age.

AT HOME WITH ART

ARBITER OF STYLE Jeffrey Bilhuber is revered for his beautifully innovative, distinctly American interiors. On the occasion of the publication of his latest book, Brook Mason talked with the design giant.

effrey Bilhuber is not quite American design’s bestkept secret. His career is entering its third decade; hundreds of his interiors have appeared in publications such as Architectural Digest and Elle Decor; he’s published three top-selling design books and just released a fourth, American Master: Notes on Style and Substance (Rizzoli). With such clients as taste mavens Iman and David Bowie, Ashton Hawkins and Anna Wintour, his eponymous Manhattan ﬁrm is not exactly looking for new business. If anything, it has spawned new companies: Steven Gambrel, Thom Filicia and Jesse Carrier all began their design careers in his office. Celebrated for his panache in combining his clients’ antiques collections with newly commissioned furniture, Bilhuber says he has been receiving “more and more” enquiries from potential clients in Russia, the Middle East and China. His business has grown steadily in London too, where he is ﬁnishing a town house for an American expat couple. He is most excited about the renovation, for a longtime art world client, of a house once owned by Donald Judd in Marfa, Texas. Along with architect Annabelle Seldorf and landscape designer Madison Cox, Bilhuber has created what he calls “a meeting ground for creative thinkers in the desert,” which will be completed in early 2016. It would seem Bilhuber no longer has anything to prove; he does, however, have a lot to say. “And people want to listen,” he declares. His new book considers the nature of American style. “American designers embrace the opportunity to have a global vision and to think outside of four walls,” he says. “It’s up to us to sample different materials and periods and make them our own.” Bilhuber’s interiors – forward-looking and fearless yet still practical – are always unmistakably his.

after attending Cornell university, You began your career working at the Carlyle Hotel. What did you learn there? I learned that comfort is so essential, but when tackling projects, then strategic operations, military planning and precision are key. Your taste is wide-ranging – You love Fortuny silks, plush velvets in rich colours, Japanned highboys and Chippendale chests. How would you describe your approach to creating a room and what influences you? I build visual narratives that connect us to the world that surrounds us. Museum exhibitions, gallery shows, contemporary music and dance are all inﬂuences on my work. Why do you frequently incorporate vintage or antique items in your interiors? We’re not strangers to history. What I assemble are touchstones from the past. I interpret them in a way that liberates them from history and allows clients to see all their qualities with fresh eyes. Can you talk about a recent purchase? For a West Coast project, we acquired an exceptional George III-style statuary and a variegated chimneypiece at Sotheby’s

how do you advise new clients and collectors? Decorative art is a wonderful starting point. There are so many opportunities to learn and to buy. We bring our clients to the auction house, which has a wealth of knowledge, and with our expertise we help them dive in completely. We find the very best of what is available in the market and they find their confidence and their vocabulary. What do you want to see in New York this season? Nari Ward’s Breathing Directions, his third solo show at Lehmann Maupin; the antique sculpture and paintings that London dealers Coll & Cortés and Tomasso Brothers Fine Art are going to be showing at Carlton Hobbs; and the George Stubbs paintings from the Yale Center for British Art that are on view at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Of course I’m going to be attending Sotheby’s Impressionist and Modern Art sales in November. What’s next on your horizon? We’re installing a splendid house in the foothills of Montecito, California, and working on a home near the water in Greenwich, Connecticut, and a penthouse in New York City. Plus, I have a coast-to-coast book tour for American Master and a standing reservation at Swifty’s for a comforting dinner and a good whiskey sour. Brook S.

ALL THAT GLITTERS

VIVIENNE BECKER

INTO THE BLUE A natural wonder, an artistic feat, a technical marvel and a dazzling jewel, the Blue Moon has the potential to set the record as the most expensive blue diamond ever to be sold at auction.

(Opposite and above) The Blue Moon. An exceptional fancy vivid blue diamond weighing 12.03 carats, internally flawless CHF34,050,000–53,500,000 (US$35,000,000–55,000,000).

Once in a blue moon, the earth sends forth a coloured diamond. Intense and intriguing, the stone may be yellow, pink, orange or violet, yet its fiery brilliance and exquisite colour – the most powerful emotional triggers in a gem – always come together with dramatic effect. Among these coveted stones (there is one for every 10,000 gem-quality white diamonds found), the blue diamond is considered the rarest, most captivating and most enigmatic treasure. A fabulous fluke of nature, a blue diamond is produced by the random presence of the atomic lattice-bound trace element boron within the stone’s carbon structure during its formation deep in the earth’s core. The earliest known blue diamond came from the legendary Kollur mine in the Golconda, a region of India that produced such famous examples as the Idol’s Eye (15th century) and the Hope Diamond (17th century), perhaps the most fabled gemstone on the planet. Later, in the early 18th century, blue diamonds were occasionally found in Brazil. But today the Premier Mine at Cullinan, some 40 kilometres east of Pretoria, South Africa, is the only one known to yield blue diamonds with any regularity. However, discoveries are still sporadic and always astonishing occurrences. Indeed, since the mine was acquired by Jerseybased Petra Diamonds in 2008, out of the eighteen million tonnes mined and five million carats recovered, only five world-class blue diamonds have emerged from Cullinan, or less than 0.1 per cent of the mine’s annual yield. All of that changed in January 2014 with the appearance of a 29.62-carat rough blue diamond crystal. Following much press excitement, the

diamond was purchased by Cora International, one of the world’s leading firms specialising in cutting large important diamonds. Cora’s experts spent approximately six months deliberating, planning and painstakingly cutting the rough into a magnificent cushion-cut 12.03carat diamond of perfect proportions. In its detailed monograph, the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) classified the diamond as “fancy vivid blue” and “internally flawless,” hailing it as a “rare wonder.” A pinnacle of perfection with top classifications, the stone was named the Blue Moon and garnered much attention when it went on view at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County in August 2014. But when the exhibition closed this past January, the Blue Moon retreated to a vault. One of the largest known fancy vivid blue diamonds, the Blue Moon is now re-emerging as the dazzling centrepiece of Sotheby’s November sale of Magnificent Jewels and Noble Jewels in Geneva. The last time a vivid blue diamond was polished from the rough was in 2009, when the 7.03-carat Star of Josephine, from the same Cullinan mine as the Blue Moon, fetched $9.5 million at Sotheby’s Geneva, then a record price per carat for any diamond. The Blue Moon will be collectors’ ultimate object of desire, as well as one of tomorrow’s historic diamonds. For David Bennett, Sotheby’s Worldwide Chairman for Jewellery, the Blue Moon represents “the most mysterious and romantic” of coloured diamonds, its deep blue giving it a hypnotic magnetism. Almost other-worldly, unknowable and absolute, this spectacular specimen is simply awe-inspiring.

THE BLUE MOON DIAMOND’S EXQUISITE CUTTING IS CLEARLY THE RESULT OF A TRUE ART FORM, A BLEND OF ART AND SCIENCE, OF THE SUPERRATIONAL WITH THE HYPER-INSTINCTIVE.

Beyond exceptional colour, brilliance and clarity, the Blue Moon, classified as a type IIb diamond, glows with a captivating inner life. According to the GIA, type IIb diamonds are electrically conductive and known to phosphoresce, usually turning dark blue or green under ultraviolet light. Remarkably, the Blue Moon phosphoresces red, which infuses it with a flaming passion, another extraordinary quality. Maximising these natural gifts, the Blue Moon also demonstrates diamond cutting’s new levels of excellence and expertise. The world’s elite diamond cutters have the ability to see into the heart of a stone, unveiling its secrets while understanding its intricate structure. Cutting and polishing a coloured diamond of immense value requires exceptional intuition, skill and experience, not to mention diamantine nerves, which the Blue Moon’s realisation embodies to the highest degree. Its exquisite cutting is clearly the result of a true art form, a blend of art and science, of the superrational with the hyper-instinctive. It should be noted that blue diamonds pose very specific challenges to gem cutters. Unlike white diamonds, type IIb blue diamonds are rarely symmetrical in structure; their internal angles are often likened to the knots in a piece of wood, making the cutter’s work all the more perilous. In addition, such stones often reveal uneven colour distribution, known as colour zoning, another parameter for the cutter to consider. One miscalculation, one slip, can mean the colour disappears entirely.

But while a blue diamond may present the greatest challenge for the diamond cutter, technical advances and increased understanding of coloured diamonds have also enabled experts to deepen precious stones’ intensity and illuminate their hues more than ever before. That much is evident in the Blue Moon’s cushion brilliant cut: Its softness and noble lines not only celebrate the stone’s other-worldliness, they also enhance its tone and saturation, transforming our perception of the coloured diamond from mineralogical curiosity to reﬁned work of art – impossibly rare, limited only by nature and discovered only once in a blue moon.

Garages as showrooms. Museum-calibre sculpture gardens. Personal libraries with Dewey Decimal swagger. For some homeowners, a passion for cars, fine art or rare books extends beyond their treasures to the environments that showcase them. J Kuper, principal broker at Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty in Austin and San Antonio, Texas, sees it all the time: “Collections often reflect what individuals have been able to accomplish in their lives,” he says. Being surrounded by their art and objects is “a kind of reward.” Thoughtful staging transforms these prizes into experiences. One home in Austin features an expansive art gallery with high ceilings to display the owner’s collection of large-scale paintings and sculptures. Acquisitions are often steeped in memories, and an extraordinary setting allows the stories behind each item to be told. “Space, lighting and proportion are all of equal importance when showcasing any kind of art,” says Robert Ferris, a contemporary art collector and architect with offices in New York and Connecticut. A well-conceived home gallery sets up “an intimate dialogue,” he explains, and provides “opportunities to discover the art” as one moves through the space. There is no question that viewing blue-chip art in a customised environment in your residence or sipping a rare vintage in the comfort of your own exquisite wine cellar elevates your enjoyment. And auto enthusiasts have been known to spend upwards of six figures on custom-built showrooms for their collectible cars with adjoining club rooms and full-time mechanics. The true measure of whether a setting does its collection justice is simple: Does it make you happy? “Collectors can have horrible days,” says Benjamin Doller, Vice Chairman of Sotheby’s New York. “But when they come home and look at one of their paintings, it puts them in a wonderful mood.” New York-based writer Iyna Bort Caruso has contributed to The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and Newsday, among others.

RACING THROUGH HISTORY Lord March’s stately, historic Goodwood House has become a vibrant mecca for gearheads.

SOTHEBY’S

Grand as it is, guests at Goodwood House, a Grade 1-listed home in West Sussex, know they need not stand on ceremony. Recently, for instance, the Italian nine-time Grand Prix World Champion Valentino Rossi roared into the Guernsey Granite-columned entrance hall on his Yamaha bike, screeching to a halt under three very important George Stubbs scenes – the artist’s first major commission, which were painted in situ from 1759 to 1760. A 12,000-acre estate, Goodwood has been the imposing seat of the Dukes of Richmond since 1697, when Charles Lennox, the 1st Duke – a son of King Charles II – and his French mistress Louise de Kérouaille purchased the property, but it has always been a happening place, sports-wise certainly. Though the 1st Duke’s descendant, Charles Henry Gordon Lennox, the 10th Duke, still flourishes here today at age 86, for the last two decades the estate’s reins have been held firmly by his son, Charles, the Earl of March and Kinrara, now age 60. (By family tradition, all Gordon Lennox heirs are named Charles.) That early succession at a ducal estate was unusual. “Most fathers hang on to the bitter end and only go out feet first; the sons can be in their seventies when they take over,” Lord March explains. “My father had taken over Goodwood when he was about 40, and he was determined that I should do the same. So we have had an unusually well-organised succession here.”

Still, the transition entailed major changes for the younger Charles. After attending Eton, working on the set of Stanley Kubrick’s film Barry Lyndon and spending a year in Africa, he returned to London and established himself as a successful photographer, whose clients included Harpers & Queens, Vogue Italia, De Beers and Osbourne & Little. Naturally, and although the 10th Duke had put Goodwood on sound footing, the challenges of running such a vast estate seemed daunting to the young heir. So, as Lord March contemplated plans to bring in the necessary revenue to maintain the property, he reached back to the estate’s heritage and his own early interests: sport and speed. Arguably, Goodwood is England’s greatest sporting estate. From the 1600s onward, it was home to the country’s premier fox hunt; it was also the first estate on which cricket was played regularly. Horse racing, shooting, golf and flying subsequently thrived here. In 1948, the Earl’s grandfather, the 9th Duke, who was passionate about cars, transformed an airfield that had been built during the Second World War into a motor-racing track, the estate’s second. (The first, now a hill-climb course, opened in 1936.) It remained active until circumstances led the family to close it in 1966, an event that “horrified” the ten-year-old Charles, he recalls today. And so it seemed appropriate that “the car bug,” which Lord March says he inherited from his grandfather, turned out to be the thing that animated his grand plan for the estate. “I’ve always loved cars, as vehicles and as objects. I love that they are design-focused and very sculptural. As I was looking for things we could draw revenue from, I realised this was something that was part of our story,” he says. After a seven-year dispute with local authorities to reopen the racetrack, he eventually established the events that have become two of the most popular automotive races in the world: the Festival of Speed, founded in 1993 and held in June, and the Goodwood Revival, founded in 1998 and held in September. Between them, the two races now attract more than 350,000 highly enthusiastic visitors each year. Among them are Lord March’s large and eclectic group of friends, which this summer included such

“I’VE ALWAYS LOVED CARS, AS VEHICLES AND AS OBJECTS. I LOVE THAT THEY ARE DESIGN-FOCUSED AND VERY SCULPTURAL.”

luminaries as Apple Chief Design Officer Sir Jonathan Paul Ive, Pink Floyd’s Nick Mason, designer Marc Newson, Viscount and Viscountess Astor, Lord and Lady Bamford, as well as Gene Simmons of Kiss, who performed for the crowd. It must be noted that being a mecca for gearheads of all stripes has not kept Goodwood from maintaining aristocratic standards of connoisseurship. Among the house’s numerous treasures are a Sèvres dessert service commissioned by the 3rd Duke in 1765 – on which, at His Grace’s request, Sèvres artists depicted birds for the first time – as well as two magnificent views of the Thames from Richmond House in London, painted by Canaletto in 1746–47, a commission from the 2nd Duke. Goodwood, in other words, is Downton Abbey meets NASCAR. “One of the best things about this experience has been the tremendous enthusiasm we have received,” says Lord March. “The whole motor industry has gotten behind it, along with so much of the public.” Indeed, just about every car manufacturer in the world has become involved, from Aston Martin, Maserati and Ferrari to Ford, Mercedes and GM. Altogether, the various activities of the estate – midsummer horse races under the banner of the Qatar Goodwood Festival, two golf courses, sport hunting, a flying school, a hotel and a members’ club – have attracted a universe of high-end sponsors, including Cartier, Rolex and Veuve Clicquot, as well as financial firms such as UBS and Credit Suisse. “It’s a massive list of partners. I can’t think of anybody else who’s got all these brands in one place,” Lord March says. “But then I don’t think anyone else has got the associations with as many glamorous activities as we do.”

There is also an organic farm on the estate – the largest in southern England – that feeds the 1.5 millions visitors who come annually (for weddings and conferences, for instance), along with the beef, lamb and pork raised there, and cheese from the dairy. In all, 650 employees work on the estate. On-site auctions of vintage and modern automobiles have also become major events. “In the 20 years since we’ve been doing it, we’ve seen unbelievable price increases. I guess we’ve played a part in that increase,” says Lord March, whose one regret is that he did not get in on the collecting field personally. “I don’t really own that many cars. I definitely should have been buying cars over the years,” he says, adding, “though I do have some good ones, including a Lancia Aurelia 1950s coupe and some very nice American hot rods. I love American iron.” Meanwhile, Lord March has found time to pursue his photography. In 2014, a highly acclaimed show of his pictures, Nature Translated, was exhibited at the State Russian Museum in Saint Petersburg. Earlier this year, he had well-received shows at Hamiltons gallery in London and Venus over Manhattan in New York. In this frenzy of activity, the miraculous thing is that Goodwood House’s raison d’être has remained intact: It is a convivial family home for Charles, his wife, Janet – a daughter of the 3rd Viscount Astor – and their five children. “Everything we do is centred around the house and ensures that the family can remain here for generations to come,” Lord March stresses. A fact the 10th Duke surely appreciates.

A. ALFRED TAUBMAN As A. Alfred Taubman’s vast and valuable collection comes to auction, Anthony Calnek discovers the connection between the legendary businessman’s remarkable career and the art he acquired over a lifetime.

hen A. Alfred Taubman died in April 2015, at the age of 91, his passing made headlines around the world. In newspapers from the New York Times to London’s Telegraph, the retail developer’s life story proved irresistible to obituary writers, who relished the chance to retell his only-inAmerica rise from modest beginnings in Pontiac, Michigan, to a spectacular business career spanning over six decades. Taubman was credited with changing the very way people shopped, whether they belonged to the middle-class ranks who ﬂocked to his innovative shopping malls or were among the storied aristocrats who traded at the highest end of the art market at Sotheby’s, a company that he led for many years. But in one critical respect, the full story of Alfred Taubman has yet to be told. Quietly, assiduously and over the course of more than 60 years, Taubman assembled one of the greatest collections of art in private hands. For a man who lived much of his life in the glare of the public

SOTHEBY’S

spotlight, remarkably little was known about the trove of masterpieces hanging in his many homes, from the stately Fifth Avenue apartment and oceanfront estates in Palm Beach and Southampton to the sprawling modernist house that anchored his family life in Michigan. “Alfred didn’t have a lot of people to his apartment,” says Hugh Hildesley, a Sotheby’s executive who was close to Taubman for two decades. “He kept his collection quiet – it wasn’t for show.” Indeed, Taubman often described the works of art he owned as his “very close friends.” There was tremendous speculation about Taubman’s collection during his lifetime. He was his own curator and bought everything himself – unusual for a collector of his magnitude. He never agreed to a museum exhibition to show off his treasures, nor did he publish a catalogue of his holdings. “I was vacationing in Sardinia in late summer, just after the announcement that the Taubman collection was being sold at Sotheby’s,” Hildesley recounts. “There were quite a few major collectors whose yachts were docked there, one next to the other, and in the evenings I was asked over and over again, What did he have?” That question is ﬁnally being answered through a historic series of auctions at Sotheby’s beginning in November. The Taubman collection is so wide-ranging and substantial that it is being offered across four dedicated sales – encompassing Old Masters, Impressionist and Modern art, Contemporary art and American art – with scores of other wonderful objects, from Egyptian, Roman and Chinese antiquities

to Vienna Secessionist furniture, to be sold in various auctions throughout the winter and spring. As a collector, Taubman was eclectic, but so were his business interests, which included the A&W Restaurant chain, department stores, a professional football team and Sotheby’s. He had a brilliant ability to find a path to success in virtually all his endeavours. With characteristic confidence and wit, he once told a Harvard Business School class, “You may find there’s more similarity in the challenge of marketing a precious painting by Degas and a frosted mug of root beer than you ever thought possible.”

aubman’s brilliance, however, was not obvious from the start. The fourth and youngest child of Fannie and Philip Taubman, German Jews who arrived in the United States during the first decade of the 20th century knowing not a word of English, Alfred suffered from dyslexia, with a childhood stutter to make his struggles that much harder. In his uncompromisingly honest memoir, Threshold Resistance (2007), he describes himself as “big and a bit awkward . . . not the model student.” He went to work at age nine, and by eleven was selling shoes after school in Sims department store on Saginaw Street in Pontiac. What anchored him was his family. “There were two things we always had in abundant supply in our home during those challenging times,” he wrote, “our love and our faith.” His father had built the first synagogue in Pontiac, and Alfred recalls being “part of a small but tightly knit Jewish community.” Taubman served in the Pacific Theatre during the Second World War, witnessing first-hand the destruction wrought on Hiroshima. In Tokyo as part of the occupation forces, Alfred sketched Frank Lloyd Wright’s Imperial Hotel – he was thrilled, years later, to meet Wright in person and recount this episode. After returning to the States, he studied art and architecture at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor (college was made possible by the G.I. Bill), married Reva Kolodney, his college sweetheart, and went to work for an architect. By 1950 he had started his own business, The Taubman Company, which would design and build retail projects; the venture was launched with a $5,000 loan and he brought his father, a builder, out of retirement to be his partner. If Philip Taubman had any lingering doubts about his son’s talents, they were quickly put to rest. “At the age of 26,” recounts Robert Taubman, Alfred’s elder son, “in his first year of business, my father’s new company earned a profit of $150,000. And that was in 1950 money!” By the end of the decade The Taubman Company had built several major shopping centres in Michigan, and Alfred was poised to expand into the Western US.

On a solid financial footing, Alfred and Reva soon started a family – Gayle was born in 1951, followed by Robert in 1953 and William in 1958 – and in 1961 they moved into a home on Bell Road in Southfield, Michigan, that Alfred designed himself. The Bell Road home had a modernist sensibility, with high white walls designed to showcase the art of the day. “Throughout the early years of my career, as I made enough money to look beyond the basic needs of my family, my passion for art grew into a pretty substantial art collection,” he wrote in Threshold Resistance. That passion had been ignited in college by his painting instructor, Carlos Lopez. “I loved his course and enjoyed painting very much,” recalled Taubman. At the end of the semester, Lopez gave one of his own artworks to his student. “The wonderful drawing, the first piece of art I ever owned, still hangs in my home.”

“THERE’S MORE SIMILARITY IN . . . MARKETING A PRECIOUS PAINTING BY DEGAS AND A FROSTED MUG OF ROOT BEER THAN YOU EVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE.”

For Taubman, the Lopez drawing also represented a path that he might have taken himself. “My father could have been a great artist,” says Gayle, who holds a doctorate in art and education and is now the president of The Taubman Foundation. “He drew, painted, sculpted. Perhaps because of his dyslexia, he had an innovative and remarkable way of seeing the world.” Robert, who with his brother William, now runs The Taubman Company, agrees that dyslexia played a critical role in shaping their father’s life. “The unique thing about him was his eye,” Robert says. “My father thought in three dimensions, which allowed him to conceive of space and understand its possibilities.” Taubman doodled throughout his life, specialising in caricatures and selfportraits that delighted his family and friends. In college, he made money by drawing caricatures on street corners and selling them, but he never seriously considered becoming an artist. Nonetheless, he wrote, “my love of art has blossomed into one of the joys of my life.” And he realised that love by immersing himself in the world of art and artists. From Threshold Resistance: “In the 1950s, I was a regular visitor to the Green Gallery on West 57th Street in New York, where a rickety elevator took you to the fourth ﬂoor.

introduced you to fresh works by the likes of Robert Indiana, Jasper Johns, and Francis Bacon. I started buying modern artists like Frank Stella and Robert Rauschenberg. Later, I bought from Leo Castelli.” He also formed friendships with artists, most notably Robert Graham and John Chamberlain, visiting them in their studios and buying their works. Years later, with his characteristic sense of humour, Taubman remarked, “I had this notion that I should buy living artists, because the dead ones couldn’t use the money.” During the 1960s, The Taubman Company flourished, based in part on its founder’s understanding of people and his insights about how America’s growing car culture was transforming cities and suburbs – he recognised that “people shop where they live, not necessarily where they work.” And so he built shopping centres near the houses that were springing up in rings around established urban areas. Taubman was an innovator, creating enclosed malls of unprecedented scale and introducing critical design features that made it easier for shoppers to move through the spaces. He also invented new customer-friendly features such as the food court and, notably, he commissioned museum-quality art to “enliven the space,” as he put it. According to Malcolm Gladwell, writing in The New Yorker, “If [20th-century architect] Victor Gruen invented the mall, Alfred Taubman perfected it.” At the core of Taubman’s business philosophy was the belief that success could be achieved in almost any situation by surmounting a powerful force that he termed “threshold resistance” – “the physical and psychological barriers” that may block a potential customer from entering a store, engaging with merchandise or completing a transaction. To succeed at almost anything, he wrote, “you have to look beyond immediate barriers and see opportunities.” And indeed he did, in business and in collecting. The first of The Taubman Company’s many West Coast projects was Southland, the first enclosed mall in northern California, which opened in 1964. Sunvalley, touted as “the world’s largest air-conditioned shopping centre,” opened in the San Francisco Bay area in 1967. During this period, Alfred was spending a lot of his time in California, which led him to develop an interest in the art scene there and

befriend several artists. Soon he acquired works by Ed Moses, Richard Diebenkorn and John McLaughlin, the pioneering Minimalist. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Taubman travelled extensively but always made time to visit museums and galleries, often bringing his children. Says William: “I can remember going to New York with my father and driving with him in a big black limousine through the rutted streets of SoHo. We would go to Castelli on West Broadway and have lunch at Oh Ho So, the Chinese restaurant where all the gallery owners would eat. They all knew my father. He had a lot of personality, and they enjoyed him. He would go to every exhibition and ask lots of questions.” In 1978, Taubman happened to be in Paris with William during the opening weekend of the Centre Pompidou, whose revolutionary architecture by Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers literally turned the museum building inside out. “He loved it,” recalls William. “We spent the whole day in the plaza, and he just marvelled at how the museum had taken an area that was a backwater of Paris and made it into a place where people wanted to come.” Taubman was so taken with the design, especially the signature escalator tube running up the exterior of the building, that he copied the feature, applying it to the exterior of the Beverly Center, a luxury mall he was then developing in Los Angeles. That escalator “became the icon of the building,” says William. “It was considered amazing at the time that someone would incorporate a museum feature in the design of a shopping centre.”

y the late 1970s, Taubman’s business had reached a new level, and one success begat another. His portfolio of businesses grew more diverse, and came to include the Irvine Ranch in California and A&W Restaurants, which he bought in 1982, turning the root beer-based franchise into a national success. Along the way, he acquired the Woodward and Lothrop and Wanamaker’s department store chains and led an owners’ group that founded the United States Football League’s Michigan Panthers. In 1983, Taubman’s personal life changed signiﬁcantly when he married Judith Rounick. His stunning business successes now afforded him a lifestyle that could only have seemed a fantasy to a dyslexic Jewish boy growing up in the Great Depression. Taubman had given up the house on Bell Road and moved in to a larger residence in Bloomﬁeld Hills designed by Alden B. Dow, a disciple of Frank Lloyd Wright. The pace of Taubman’s collecting was picking up, and he set about changing the house to make it more hospitable

to the large-scale works he was acquiring. “He expanded the common areas,” says Robert, “and brought skylights in so there was natural light.” The density of great art was staggering. “You would enter the dining room and be met by duelling Rothkos, a Franz Kline and a Pollock.” In New York, he lived in a Richard Meier-designed residence in the Pierre Hotel before settling into a grand apartment at 834 Fifth Avenue, which he purchased from the daughter of his great friend Henry Ford II. And in Palm Beach, he commissioned one of Meier’s most celebrated residences, Le Bateau, the first multilevel contemporary house on the island. There, Taubman installed works by Arp, Calder and Léger, which he playfully mixed with Chinese ceramics, Egyptian antiquities and early 20th-century furniture. Famously, the beautiful Meier house’s roof was leaky, and following his marriage to Judy, Taubman purchased another house in Palm Beach, a 1924 Mediterranean mansion designed by Addison Mizner. The art in the Palm Beach house was a perfect expression of his philosophy: “Collecting art should be, above all else, fun. Buy what you love (and can afford).” While the Meier home was primarily a showcase for modern art, the Mizner house reflected the quickly evolving tastes of a confident collector, a connoisseur with the means to acquire quality works that captivated him. “I don’t buy art to fit some wall,” he remarked. “I buy art I’m pleased with.” In the garden, a monumental Egyptian statue once owned by John Lennon stood guard; Thomas Gainsborough’s Blue Page (the twin of the famous Blue Boy) could enter into a dialogue with Ingres’s Portrait of Charles Dupaty; and Martin Johnson Heade’s The Great Florida Sunset, one of the greatest 19th-century American landscape paintings in private hands, formed a fascinating juxtaposition with the contemporaneous Game of Bowls by John Singer Sargent. And several of the many stunning Egon Schieles he owned were hung in groupings with smaller works by Picasso, Tiepolo and Klimt.

y the 1980s, Taubman had been a serious collector for more than three decades, and he was now a board member of the Whitney Museum of American Art (where, in 1980, he provided funds toward the famous purchase of Jasper Johns’s Three Flags), a founder of the Smithsonian Institution’s Archives of American Art and a major patron of the Detroit Institute of Arts. While motivated by a strong philanthropic ethos, Taubman’s involvement with these institutions put him in continual contact with the greatest curators, directors and collectors, feeding his insatiable desire to learn more about art. As a collector, Taubman was often attracted to works with astonishing provenance, like the Degas pastel that

had debuted at Ambroise Vollard’s legendary Paris gallery, a Toulouse-Lautrec oil once handled by the dealer Paul Rosenberg; a Manet that had ended up in the collection of Mrs Payne Whitney via the Galerie Durand-Ruel and a Matisse that he purchased from the estate of Henry Ford II. His tremendous connoisseurship was acknowledged by museums the world over as they sought loans for major exhibitions. “My father loved to lend,” says William. “And he lent a lot.” To name a few examples: Modigliani’s superb portrait of Paulette Jourdain to the Royal Academy in London, Manet’s Madame du Paty to the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, a major Matisse to the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid, a Winslow Homer to the National Gallery in Washington, DC, a Miró to the historic Museum of Modern Art retrospective, and on and on.

n 1983, Taubman made his most famous acquisition – Sotheby’s. Brought in as a “white knight” during a less than genteel takeover battle, he recognised great potential in the beleaguered company. As he saw it, “There was a powerful force keeping individuals out of the auction rooms and holding Sotheby’s back from dramatically increasing its business and market share: threshold resistance. . . . Unless you were a dealer or a duke, stepping over the threshold of a major auction house took real courage and self-confidence. I believed that if we could break down the threshold resistance, the auction business could be transformed into a far broader, more profitable enterprise.” In short order, he assembled a group of investors to purchase the centuries-old auction house. The Sotheby’s purchase allowed Taubman to pull all the different strands of his life together into one grand enterprise; he was the conductor of his own orchestra and also played the various parts brilliantly. For close to two decades, Taubman set about changing the way the 239-yearold company did business. To begin, he considered his own experience as a client. “Even though I was a good customer, an avid collector, and financially well-off,” he wrote, the auction house representatives “were rude, unresponsive, and often condescending.” With the laser-sharp focus he had developed on the customer, he turned Sotheby’s culture around and demanded that every person who entered the auction house be treated with respect and care. He deftly applied his retail-design experience, transforming Sotheby’s New York flagship into an airy, modernist building in which people could move easily from floor to floor and interact with beautifully presented merchandise. “I wanted to create an open feeling, where all the goods were available to everyone.” He introduced new financing and marketing techniques, staging what he described as “high-profile, unapologetically glamorous celebrity sales” such as the jewels owned by the Duchess of Windsor (1987), the vast collection of cookie jars and other objects amassed by Andy Warhol (1988) and

beloved treasures from the estate of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis (1996). In just seven years, his changes led to a fivefold increase in auction sales; by the 1989–90 season, the house conducted $3.2 billion in sales. This staggering rise was due largely to the new participation from individuals – who joined the dealers in the saleroom – that Taubman’s changes made possible. His innovations at Sotheby’s were quickly adopted by Christie’s and the other houses, and the auction world today is largely the one that Alfred Taubman created. “We changed the art market forever,” he rightly observed in 2008, “and for the better.” Taubman stayed connected to the company long after he left it in 2000 at the age of 77. He lived fifteen more years, using his substantial fortune to support many major causes, primarily in education, art and medicine. The impact of his tzedakah, or “righteous giving,” lives on in such institutions as The A. Alfred Taubman Medical Research Institute at the University of Michigan, The A. Alfred Taubman Center of State and Local Government at Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government, The A. Alfred Taubman European Paintings Wing at the Detroit Institute of Arts; the University of Michigan’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and many other great cultural, civic, educational and medical programs. “You can leave the world a better place,” he remarked, “if you figure out how to make things better, not just different, but better.” To the very end, Taubman was an avid collector. “My father loved buying art,” says Robert. “He loved living with these objects.” That he already had four homes overfilled with masterpiece large and small didn’t strike him as a reason to stop acquiring: In February 2015, just after his 91st birthday, Taubman bought four paintings from a Sotheby’s auction of Modern and Impressionist art. In April, they arrived at his Bloomfield Hills home, but he hadn’t yet figured out where to hang them. On 17 April, surrounded by his family and his art, he suffered a heart attack and died. The paintings he had bought two months earlier remained in their crates, and in November they will return to Sotheby’s. There, along with 500 or so other treasures collected over a lifetime, they will change hands again, in the auction house he reinvented. “These works of art were all really loved by my father,” says Gayle. “They were part of our life with him. And now it is time for them to have other homes.” Anthony Calnek is Editor in Chief of Sotheby’s magazine. The Legendary Collection of A. Alfred Taubman will be on view beginning 24 October at Sotheby’s New York.

rt aficionados visiting New York’s West Side no longer need to limit themselves to looking straight ahead – to a blue-chip gallery’s set of glass doors, say. They should also look up. The High Line, a former elevated railway repurposed into a stylish linear park that attracts some seven million visitors per year, holds plenty of art for them to see. There is, for instance, Rashid Johnson’s Blocks, a frame of steel cubes that was deliberately installed to nestle, half-hidden, among the plants, so that greenery can grow through and around the sculpture, creating new perspectives on the piece as the seasons change. Nearby, Elmgreen & Dragset’s Panorama: A Greater Perspective is also hiding in plain sight, awaiting visitors on which to play one of the artist duo’s typical pranks: the replica of a conventional telescope pointed toward the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor is cast in bronze and entirely non-functional. These are just two of the many artworks dotted around the 1.5-mile-long park, all of them commissioned by the nonprofit High Line Art, headed by the effervescent Milanborn curator Cecilia Alemani. “We present projects you wouldn’t associate with the notion of public art,” says Alemani, noting that these pieces are much smaller and subtler than the large-scale, attention-getting public art of old. And all are on view “free of charge, every day of the year, rain or shine,” Alemani continues, so art buffs can plan their visit ahead of the crowds. The place can be truly magical then. “I don’t know if the High Line could happen anywhere else,” Alemani concludes, noting that “the city has really embraced it, from the food-cart guys to the mayor.” And indeed, rising above the designer boutiques and other trendy spots of the Meatpacking District, all the way up to the myriad windswept warehouses turned white boxes of North Chelsea, the High Line has come into its own as the dramatic backbone to a particularly ebullient nexus for art, culture and commerce. The arrival earlier this year of the Whitney Museum of American Art, with its new, Renzo Piano-designed building hugging the High Line’s southern end, constituted perhaps the greatest cultural endorsement of this neighbourhood’s turnaround. With this move – years in the making – the once-cramped former Upper East Side institution tripled its exhibition space to 200,000 square feet, making it better able to stage such benchmark exhibitions as the major Frank Stella retrospective opening 30 October. In another sign of the area’s vitality, new restaurants and bars are springing up. Among them, the Major Food Group, the trio of chefs behind downtown foodie hits Carbone, Parm and Dirty French, opened its latest project, Santina, last January. Located in a Piano-conceived glass box underneath the Gansevoort Street entrance to the High Line, Santina serves up Mediterranean food such as chickpea crêpes and branzino crudo in a beachy setting that includes a real orange tree and, as befits a Whitney neighbour, a blue-and-white

Another important newcomer to the area, Manhattan restaurateur Danny Meyer oversees Untitled, the Whitney’s official eatery. Meyer also chose last winter to launch his first stand-alone cocktail bar, Porchlight, an establishment inspired by a Nashville dive bar, down to its rough-hewn rocking chairs and its signature drink, the Gun Metal Blue, a Day-Glo, curaçao-based riff on the margarita. If the High Line’s environs already have much to offer, their influence is also radiating northward and into the future in a major way. Once a semi-industrial wasteland, the 28-acre Hudson Yards project (between West 30th and West 34th Streets and 10th and 12th Avenues) is in full swing. Old railway sidings there have been displaced in favour of a new real estate development that will include sixteen skyscrapers, abundant commercial property, 14.5 acres of open landscaped public zones and – most important for art lovers – a brandnew cultural space. That destination, Culture Shed, a nonprofit centre for artistic innovation housed in a six-storey building, is scheduled to open in spring 2018. It promises to present cutting-edge exhibitions and cross-disciplinary events for curious audiences from around the world. Rejoicing in the prospect, Alemani notes: “The High Line connects all the nonprofits in the neighbourhood. Everywhere, there is art!” She’s right. Just a short stroll east, another district has used art as the foundation for its revival. Until relatively recently, the district known as NoMad (North of Madison Square Park), between East 25th and East 29th Streets and 6th and Madison Avenues, was nameless. Its office blocks were full of dusty toy showrooms and furriers reached by tiny elevators, and the six-acre park at its centre was

Recalling her first glimpse of that park, Keats Myer, executive director of the Madison Square Park Conservancy, pauses. “Fifteen years ago, you couldn’t walk safely through it,” she says. “It was horrible-looking – just dirt.” Now all spruced up and home to the original location of popular burger chain Shake Shack, Madison Square Park is a haven for children and adults, tourists looking for a spot to rest and office workers on their lunch breaks. It’s also the place where Myer’s nonprofit stages year-round site-specific arts programming, bringing more than 50,000 people every weekday to the one-time no-go zone. Among recent projects are Rafael Lozano-Hemmer’s Pulse Park, an interactive work that turned the heartbeats of passers-by into pulses of light

On my perfect day, I’d jog along Hudson River Park, find no line for the tennis courts and walk right on. Then I’d head up to the New York Public Library to do work or read, before going to Levain Bakery for a cookie – essentially, a stick of butter rolled in flour.

Jonathan Adler, ceramicist and furniture designer My husband, Simon, and I have a rule that whoever wakes up second has to walk our dog, so my perfect day starts with waking up before him and then heading downstairs to the dining room for breakfast and the first of about a squillion cups of tea. I would head over to Grahame Fowler’s jewel box of a shop in the West Village to ogle his wares and possibly pick up a new pair of Tricker’s wing tips. Lunch could be at Dover Street Market or maybe Sant Ambroeus – the elephant-ear cookies there are solely responsible for my back fat.

Frederic Fekkai, hairstylist My perfect day would start with a 6:30 am run or bike ride in Central Park. At 8 am, I walk my kids to school, then I have a cappuccino at Sant Ambroeus on Madison Avenue. By 9:15, I’m at my office or heading to an off-site meeting. I love lunch at the Mark hotel or casual spots such as Balthazar and Sette Mezzo. My favourite shops span a wide price range, from J. Crew to Brunello Cucinelli and Bergdorf Goodman.

Suchi Reddy, architect and designer I’m a culture vulture with a thirst for a cocktail, so a perfect day in New York would start with a jaunt to the Lower East Side to check out my favourite galleries, like Miguel Abreu’s, and have lunch and an Esmeralda cocktail at Hecho en Dumbo on the Bowery. If I go uptown, I head to Van Doren Waxter gallery and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, then stop for a classic martini at Bemelmans. The best design gallery and shop is Atelier Courbet in Nolita.

that ricocheted through the greenery, and Teresita Fernández’s current installation, Fata Morgana, for which the artist hung horizontal shimmering mirrors among the trees to create dreamy sun-dappled walkways (on view through early 2016). With the park set as NoMad’s art-friendly green heart, several buzzy establishments have helped boost its profile in recent years. The Ace Hotel, for one, has become an unofficial clubhouse for dot-commers working in nearby tech offices: Thanks to its onsite Stumptown café and to the Breslin, April Bloomfield’s gastropub that serves fat Britishstyle chips, its lobby is crammed with laptop-toting, flirty singletons.

One street brings back to me what it was like when I first started coming into the city and hanging out – Bleecker Street.

There’s also Murray’s cheese shop, Amy’s Bread and Faicco’s Pork Store right there. If I’m making gravy, my Sunday ritual, I have everything I need down that little street.

the NoMad hotel is definitely glitzier, with the vampy touches typical of interior designer Jacques Garcia. Even more fabulous, overlooking the park, is legendary hotelier Ian Schrager’s contribution to the area’s increasingly chic character. Located inside the landmarked Metropolitan Life tower, a 1909 Renaissance Revival skyscraper, Schrager’s New York Edition offers rooms with a turn-of-the-20thcentury private-club vibe, along with the first stateside restaurant by London’s Jason Atherton, the latest swaggering bad boy of cooking. Honouring the past as well as helping define the neighbourhood’s future, its interior is festooned with artwork – in this case, more than 500 photographs of Manhattan through various eras, from the glittering Gilded Age to the punkish 1970s. And finally, speaking of punkish, Comme des Garçons svengali Rei Kawakubo picked a six-storey Beaux Arts building on NoMad’s eastern fringe a couple of years ago as the Manhattan site for Dover Street Market, her categorydefying multi-brand concept store from London – more proof that NoMad’s arts-and-commerce vibrancy is here to stay. Kawakubo’s original store was in SoHo, the first of New York’s historic districts to be revived by an influx of culture, when artists commandeered low-rent spaces in cast-iron buildings as their studios in the 1970s. Though much has changed since then – SoHo’s cobbled streets are now crammed with tourists and lined with luxury and big-brand flagships – several remnants from its artist-driven revival remain. Painstakingly restored, Donald Judd’s home and studio on the corner of Spring and Mercer Streets has become a pilgrimage site for art connoisseurs; his pieces are exactly where the artist installed them. Perhaps less easily found, Walter De Maria’s permanent installations are nevertheless worth seeking. His Broken Kilometer, a cavernous, meditative piece, sits unobtrusively among boutiques at 393 West Broadway. His Earth Room, on the second floor of a nearby Wooster Street office building, consists of a huge white room filled nearly two feet deep with moist soil that is raked and watered weekly to keep it damp; the air inside smells warm and springlike year-round. For all its transformations since the 1970s, then, SoHo remains a destination for art. So concludes Jonathan Adler, the ceramicist and furniture designer who opened his first retail outlet in the area two decades ago. “SoHo has a magical fairy dust that doesn’t exist elsewhere,” he says. “When I got my start, it was an alternate universe where any creative dream could become a reality.” Given the neighbourhood’s boundless energy, this may hold true today.

HIS CREATIVE GOOD Award-winning television producer Sam Simon built an extensive collection of art and objects that spans centuries and styles. This autumn, Simon’s eclectic holdings are being sold at

Sotheby’s to benefit his charitable foundation.

am Simon was a man who lived many lives all at once. Not only was he an Emmy Award-winning television writer, animator and producer, but he was also a boxing manager, a professional poker player, an animal-rights activist, a serious art collector and a formidable philanthropist, admired for the energy and generosity with which he supported his passions. By the time of his death earlier this year at age 59, after a battle with cancer, he had dedicated his personal fortune to the causes he most cared about. Simon grew up in Beverly Hills, California, where high art and popular culture mingled as a matter of course. His mother was the owner of Functional Art Gallery in Los Angeles, and as a young boy, he met many prominent artists of the time: Claes Oldenburg, Chris Burden, John Baldessari and Andy Warhol, among others. Simon himself was a gifted artist, a child prodigy whose masterful drawing skills once won him a lunch with Walt Disney. Later in life, he would tell memorable stories of growing up amid Hollywood’s elite. There was the time he walked in on his mother and Groucho Marx on his parents’ bed (he didn’t recall seeing Ed Ruscha’s Untitled, 1986, in the New York Contemporary Art Day any hanky-panky, just hearing auction on 12 November ($800,000–1,200,000). Groucho telling a joke). When his boyhood dog went missing, the pooch was found and brought home in a limousine by none other than Elvis Presley. Simon was immersed in the entertainment world, but it was his preternatural comedic gifts, coupled with an intense perfectionism, that shot him straight to television’s stratosphere.

He was a showrunner for the hit sitcom Taxi at the age of 25 and was involved with such other groundbreaking series as Cheers, It’s Garry Shandling’s Show, The Tracey Ullman Show, The Drew Carey Show and of course The Simpsons, the iconic animated series he cocreated in 1989. In 2002, he put his wealth to work for others. A devoted dog lover, he set up the Sam Simon Foundation, which rescues dogs and trains them to work with the hearing impaired and with veterans. That same year, he began collaborating with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, and later helped fund both the Wild Animal Sanctuary and the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, which named one of its ships after him. Even after receiving a cancer diagnosis in 2012, Simon laboured tirelessly for his chosen charities, his dedication seeming only to intensify in the last months of his life. As he joked to his humorist friend Merrill Markoe in a 2014 profile for Vanity Fair: “People say I’m trying to buy my way into heaven, which I don’t believe in. So that can’t be true.” This autumn, selections from Simon’s personal collection of art, design and pop-culture memorabilia are being sold in a series of auctions at Sotheby’s New York. Proceeds from these sales will benefit the Sam Simon Charitable Giving Foundation, which continues his lifetime efforts. His estate includes works by an array of artists including Pablo Picasso, Thomas Hart Benton, Ed Ruscha, Mel Ramos, Max Ernst and Robert Indiana, as well as by designers such as Paul Evans, Charles and Ray Eames and George Nakashima. All these pieces that he so loved testify to the fact that Simon’s tastes were as eclectic and rarified as his talents. Jennifer Krasinski writes about art and performance for The Village Voice and artforum.com. Property from the Collection of Sam Simon will be exhibited starting 30 October in New York.

eated in an upholstered armchair near the window of Chalet Arno, her home in Gstaad, Switzerland, Evelyn Franck is speaking on the telephone. In this photograph, taken in 1997 by her daughter, Martine – a renowned Magnum photographer – Mrs Franck is about 82. After her husband, Louis, passed away nearly ten years earlier, she remained in the house they chose when he retired, the same place Evelyn, Louis, Martine and her brother, Eric, enjoyed on skiing holidays. Mrs Franck is focused, engrossed; she is in the moment. Her left elbow is fixed on the armrest, her right arm is similarly folded, but her right fist is gently tightened – perhaps in earnest. Across from her, a dog sleeps in a patch of sunlight. Between them, a couple of sofas and armchairs with an array of cushions form a semicircle for relaxed gatherings and conversations. Along the room’s walls hang exceptional 19th- and 20thcentury works of art that Evelyn and Louis began collecting in the 1940s and 1950s. The paintings too form a semicircle, a gathering of sorts, engaged in a conversation of their own. To the far left of the photo’s edge, a Provençal field with flowering dandelions sits under large threatening spring clouds in Vincent van Gogh’s dramatic Paysage sous un ciel mouvementé, from April 1889. Next to it, another turbulent sky – Belgian, this time – dominates the rooftops and soaring church spire of James Ensor’s 1885 Les Toits d’Ostende. Above a fireplace and closer to Evelyn, a later Ensor, Le Jardin d’amour, teems with the pinkish, sensual ebullience of revellers. Nearby, subtly echoing van Gogh’s and Ensor’s skies, a lone sensual figure seems to be repressing some inner

storm: In a rare full pastel from Picasso’s Blue Period, the black eyes and hair of the woman in Nu aux jambes croisées are heavy with the weight of melancholy. Remarkable as they are, these works of art are free of pretense in this warm, comfortable setting. Like most sales of carefully considered, long-cherished assemblages of art, Sotheby’s offering of works collected by Louis and Evelyn Franck comes as a celebration of a shared passion and a life well lived. And when such relatively private people are depicted among their art in family photographs such as the one shown on the previous page, the sale acquires an intimate aura and the art speaks volumes about the connoisseurs themselves. Both were born in Belgium in the early 20th century. Evelyn came from an old Protestant family, Louis from one of collectors – his father, François, was a patron of James Ensor. Louis began collecting art quite young, even crossing the Channel in a boat by himself at age seventeen (he was also a talented sailor) to buy his first picture, a Marc Chagall watercolour. In 1935, one year after their marriage, the couple moved to London, where Louis embarked on a career as a merchant banker. Success came fast. The couple had a keen interest in art; collecting started in earnest. Except for the interruption of the Second World War, when Louis joined the British Army (becoming a colonel and commander of the British Empire), the family’s prosperity continued. Evelyn and Louis acquired a yacht, the chalet in Gstaad and an art collection of the highest calibre. For their cosmopolitan lifestyle, the couple seems never to have forgotten its rootedness in a certain Northern European austerity and, perhaps, melancholy. Many artworks speak of that heritage: Both van Gogh and Ensor came from the North. And while the Ensor pictures belong to a tradition established by Louis’s father, the severity of Les Poissardes mélancoliques from 1892 must have also resonated with Evelyn’s Protestant upbringing. Her background may also have guided their choice of art charged with vulnerability and intimacy, from Picasso’s nude and Toulouse-Lautrec’s salacious vignette of 1899 to van Gogh’s portrait Le Bébé Marcelle Roulin from 1888. The presence of many examples from the artists’ prime periods, including the Picasso, the van Gogh landscape and all three Ensors, testifies to the couple’s seriousness as collectors. The vibrancy of Ensor’s Jardin d’amour, the abundant flowers in Cézanne’s Fleurs dans un pot d’olives from 1880–82, and the gorgeous, sophisticated Femme au chapeau vert painted by Kees van Dongen around 1910 summon the feelings of joy the Francks must have derived from being surrounded by such beauty. You can tell so much from a collection when it is so intimate. Christine Schwartz Hartley is a New York-based writer and editor. Works from the Collection of Louis and Evelyn Franck will be on view at Sotheby’s New York from 31 October to 5 November. Auction: 5 November. Enquiries: + 1 212 606 7360.

NEW YORK NEW YORK

The Clarence Whitman Mansion The Clarence Whitman Mansion was built in 1898 as one of a pair of limestone residences designed in the neo-renaissance style by the prestigious architectural firm of Parish and Schroeder. 7 East 76th Street’s Italianate façade is highlighted by a delicate iron balcony at the second floor and a clay-tiled mansard roof. The property has benefited from the ongoing stewardship of its owners and retains many of its original details while being carefully updated in the late 1990s. Built over 24 ft. wide and including an addition to the property in the 1920s, the house measures approximately 14,000 sq. ft. on six floors, plus an English basement all serviced by an elevator. Notably the entrance gallery and dining room boast 12 ft. ceilings and the parlour floor reaches even higher with 13 ft. ceilings.

From the 1940s to 1970s, the property was owned by one of the world’s leading art dealers, Sam Salz, prompting the New York Times to write on 15 February 1964, “On walls, in hallways, living rooms and bedrooms are works of Renoir, Dufy, Utrillo, Braque, Pissaro, Degas, Monet, Cézanne, Rouault, Manet, Sisley and Toulouse-Lautrec.”

ANATOMY OF AN ARTWORK

DOUBLE EXPOSURE Were it not for New York street photographer Lisette Model, there may never have been the Diane Arbus we know today. And without Arbus (1923–1971), there would never have been the riveting Identical Twins, Cathleen and Colleen, Roselle, New Jersey, 1967. A successful fashion photographer by the time she became Model’s student at the New School in the mid1950s, Arbus followed her teacher’s advice to focus on personal pictures. From then on, she captured seniors on the street, transvestites, muscle men, midgets, asylum inmates and dominatrixes, as well as children and families. Her subjects range from spooky to bizarre or funny, and most are slightly tragic. All are photographed headon and often with a flash, yet none of her subjects – even those who are naked – shows any resistance to Arbus’s insistent gaze. Such was the case for Cathleen and Colleen Wade, whom Arbus met with their parents at a twins-and-triplets Christmas party at the Knights of Columbus hall in Roselle. One smiles, the other frowns a little, and the pair exudes the mix of innocence and menace Arbus often saw, and made us see, in children. Included in the Museum of Modern Art’s 1967 New Documents exhibition, Identical Twins immediately became emblematic of Arbus’s work.

€200,000–300,000 ($225,000–337,000)

1. ICONIC

This photograph is dedicated to Harold T. P. Hayes, the legendary Esquire editor who assigned Arbus her first photographic essay. Their professional relationship would yield 31 photographs before her suicide in 1971.

3. IDIOSYNCRATIC The partial black band around the photograph is the result of Arbus’s decision, from 1967 to 1969, to use a “filed-out” negative carrier with her enlarger in order to show the complete image.

4. RELEVANT The image has inspired countless artists, including Stanley Kubrick, who studied photography under Arbus at Look magazine. In his 1980 film The Shining, twin sisters in matching outfits appear as harbingers of the gory finale.

5. RARE Arbus signed only nine prints of this image during her lifetime, of which just three (including this one) have appeared at auction. Her daughter Doon Arbus, the administrator of her estate, signed all others.

The twins were chosen as the cover image for Diane Arbus: An Aperture Monograph, a selection of 80 works edited and designed by her friend and colleague, the painter Marvin Israel, and her daughter Doon Arbus in 1972.
