SAINT LAURENT FOREVER Yves Saint Laurent was not a man to discard things. His drawings, photographs, couture sketches and design prototypes dating back to the founding of his couture house in 1962, along with thousands of garments and accessories, are now part of the Pierre Bergé-Yves Saint Laurent Foundation. To properly display them, Bergé, who was Saint Laurent’s longtime partner, has seen to the creation of two museums, one in Paris and the other in
Marrakesh, in Jardin Majorelle, the botanical garden that the couple had bought in 1980 to save it from modern development. There, Paris-based architectural firm Studio KO has created a 4,000-square-metre area, which includes a permanent exhibition space that pays homage to Morocco in its use of local stone and terracotta and to the couturier with the inclusion of brickwork lattices echoing the patterns of thread
within fabric. The Paris museum is remaining inside the legendary YSL hôtel particulier, but it has been re-envisioned by set and exhibition designer Nathalie Crinière and, fittingly, interior decorator Jacques Grange: it was Grange, after all, who decorated Saint Laurent’s Villa Oasis in Marrakesh and Villa Mabrouka in Tangier.

CHROMOTHERAPY
GENTLE GENIUS One of the cornerstones of the late Ernst Beyeler’s collection was art by Paul Klee. A new retrospective focusing on the Swiss-German artist’s abstractions offers the chance to experience his fantastic, expressive and witty creations using Beyeler’s holdings as well as loans covering the artist’s output from 1913 onward. Klee valued the purity of original ideas and never ceased experimenting. Applying paint in unusual ways to materials such as burlap, cardboard panel and muslin, he used abstraction to explore nature, architecture, music and fictional characters. Having developed a deep interest in colour theory, Klee saw it as a way to escape from his natural cynicism into the optimistic nobility of art. Writing about Klee in 1916, fellow artist Oskar Schlemmer noted: “He is everything; profound, gentle and many more of the good things, and this because he is innovative.” Paul Klee, Fondation Beyeler, Basel, 1 October–21 January 2018. –HS
BUILDING A MONUMENT TO TIME
MAN OF THE HOUR Ever since childhood, Illinois-based real estate magnate Cameel Halim has been fascinated by the way things work. “I used to take my alarm clock apart,” he confesses. “Although I never put it back together again.” As an adult, his curiosity led him to amass one of the world’s most impressive collections of timepieces and glasswork. This autumn, Halim is unveiling a selection of his holdings with the opening of the Halim Time and Glass Museum in Evanston, Illinois. There, visitors can peruse galleries lined with rare automatons and pocket watches, plus an array of 18th-century Chinese clocks. “No place in the world can come close to us outside the Forbidden City’s museum,” says Halim, referring to the remarkable mechanical timepiece collection in Beijing’s Palace Museum. Personally designed by Halim, his wife and three daughters, the displays include video monitors playing each timepiece in motion. Also on view are glass mosaics, vases
and windows – a testament to the ingenuity of glass production in late 19th-century America. “It was a big revolution,” Halim notes. “Europeans had been creating stained-glass art since the fifth century, but always with one layer of glass that they painted. The Americans were the first to use layers to paint with glass.” Beyond showing famed makers such as Louis Comfort Tiffany, Halim has made an effort to highlight lesser-known glass artists, including Helen Maitland Armstrong, Frederick Lamb and Mary Tillinghast. Halim, who immigrated from Egypt in 1968, is excited to share his collection with his adopted home after twelve years of planning. “I think after you collect for a while, you realise that all these treasures don’t belong to you,” he says. “They’ve been in a lot of hands, and you’re just holding on to them. I think that this really belongs to the public.” Halim Time and Glass Museum, Evanston, Illinois, opening September 2017. —ALEXANDRA OWENS

Nalini Malani and her family had to flee India after Partition in 1947. This dislocation became a focus for the 71-year-old artist’s long and varied career, during which she has examined the effects of violence and exile. Informed by mythology and ranging from wall drawings, paintings and installations to shadow play and theatre, Malani’s full output is now the subject of the Centre Pompidou’s first major show dedicated to an Indian artist. Much anticipated are the world premieres of films made by the artist between 1969 and 1976, when she was studying in Paris and meeting directors such as Jean-Luc Godard and Alain Resnais.

LONDON TIME What will be new at Frieze London? It’s sex – more specifically, Sex Work, a section dedicated to galleries and women artists working at the historic edges of feminism. The cult of Marxist-Leninism is exposed in Under the Silent Eye of Lenin, an installation-performance by Luanda-based Kiluanji Kia Henda looking at witchcraft during Angola’s civil war and in Cold War science-fiction narratives. Meanwhile, Frieze Masters effortlessly spans thousands of years in its Collections section curated by Sir Norman Rosenthal. It includes ancient Andean textiles (from London’s Paul Hughes Fine Arts), Japanese prints by a 19th-century child prodigy (from Israel Goldman of London) and Marcel Breuer’s tubular-steel furniture for the Bauhaus (from Galerie Ulrich Fiedler in Berlin). To see more exceptional design, collectors will want to hit PAD, where historic, modern and contemporary furniture and objects can be found alongside everything from tribal art to jewellery and wallpaper. This year’s standouts include an Alberto Giacometti-designed lamp (at Galerie Alexandre Biaggi) and a Greek bronze helmet (from Phoenix Ancient Art). PAD London, Berkeley Square, 2–8 October; Frieze London and Frieze Masters, Regent’s Park, 5–8 October. —HS
AGENTS OF CHANGE Among the tumultuous events of 1989 – the fall of the Berlin Wall and a win for Solidarity in the Polish elections, among others – perhaps none had more impact on art than the protests in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square. Since then, China has come to play a central role in the global conversation. For the Guggenheim’s survey of Chinese contemporary art, curator Alexandra Munroe takes Tiananmen as her starting point and ends with the 2008 Beijing Olympics, spanning a period that began with utopianism and closed with a sense of conflicted euphoria. Video, performance, installation, painting, photography and land art show how Chinese artists have been both agents and skeptics in their country’s far-reaching socioeconomic and cultural revolution.

Francisco Artigas’s and Fernando Luna’s House at 131 Rocas, Jardines del Pedregal, Mexico City, 1966, is part of LACMA’s Found In Translation exhibition.
ollowing the success of its first edition, in 2011, the sprawling, multi-venue Pacific Standard Time returns this autumn with a focus on the vital cultural connections between Latin America and Los Angeles. Starting 15 September and continuing through early 2018, more than 70 arts institutions across Southern California are presenting scholarly museum exhibitions, gallery shows and educational programmes to collectively rewrite – and, in certain cases, to re-right – the dynamic ongoing histories and synergies between Latino and Latin American cultures in the US and beyond. Prepare for a busy autumn: there are more than 90 projects, shows and installations happening regionwide. We have chosen a few highlights from galleries and our Museum Network partners.

From gold to concrete, feathers to stones and shells to metals, two shows at the Getty Center celebrate centuries of Latin America’s material innovations. Golden Kingdoms: Luxury and Legacy in the Ancient Americas tracks the evolution of goldworking between 1000 BC and the 16th century, bringing insights into how the Incans, Aztecs and others infused these art objects with spiritual meaning and purpose. From the collection of Patricia Phelps de Cisneros comes Making Art Concrete, which dives into the ways in which the Concrete art movement used industrial materials to articulate new forms of abstraction. “It was truly an international avant-garde movement,” explains co-curator Aleca Le Blanc, adding that the genre’s continued resonance is due to its practitioners’ “willingness to look past traditional media and process and to consider viewer participation.” The Getty Center, Los Angeles: Golden Kingdoms: Luxury and Legacy in the Ancient Americas, 16 September–28 January 2018; Making Art Concrete: Works from Argentina and Brazil in the Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros, 16 September–11 February 2018.
Three exhibitions at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) each offer a different thread to follow through the continuing history of Latino and Latin American art. Eagerly awaited is the retrospective of painter Carlos Almaraz, who died of AIDS in 1989 at age 48. A co-founder of Los Four, an influential collective of Chicano artists, Almaraz’s canvasses manage to be both darkly political and sublime. A Universal History of Infamy is one section of a three-part show introducing a new generation of artists who are puncturing traditional definitions of Latin American identity. Meanwhile, Found In Translation traces the ways in which 20th-century designers in California and Mexico influenced one another, sometimes in surprising ways.
“After Richard Neutra gave his first lecture in Mexico in 1937, architects there looked to his California houses as inspiration, and Neutra helped bring recognition of Mexican achievements back to California,” says LACMA decorative arts and design curator Wendy Kaplan. Los Angeles County Museum of Art: Playing with Fire: Paintings by Carlos Almaraz, through 3 December; A Universal History of Infamy, through 19 February 2018; Found In Translation: Design in California and Mexico, 1915–1985, 17 September–1 April 2018.
Earth, Wind and Fire With its rich flora, fauna, climates and terrains, Latin America has inspired artists and scientists throughout history, expanding our knowledge and perception of the natural world. Drawings, paintings, rare books and objects from the Huntington Library’s collection trace myriad visions of Latin America, from indigenous productions to colonial projections.

COLLECTOR’S EYE
HERMÈS Rare cotton “Hermeselle” dress printed with trompe-l’œil details, Spring/Summer 1952 €1,000–1,200 ($1,150–1,400)
“I love this Hermeselle-style piece. This little black dress with trompe l’œil painted pockets and collar is made of cotton and can also be worn on the beach.”
ETERNAL NOIR As Karl Lagerfeld once noted, a little black dress will never leave you overdressed or underdressed. This autumn, a sale of 140 museum-quality garments from vintage couture dealer Didier Ludot honours this timeless wardrobe staple. Here, the style connoisseur and collector explains five standout looks.

SOTHEBY’S
BALENCIAGA Marescot lace baby-doll dress, Autumn/Winter 1958 Haute Couture €2,000–3,000 ($2,300–3,450)
“I very much appreciate the sensuality of the tight sheath pink satin underdress, which is seen through a black lace baby-doll overdress. The lace was made by the prestigious firm Marescot.”
CHANEL Silk chiffon cocktail dress with taffeta bow, 1960 Haute Couture €2,500–3,000 ($2,850–3,450)
JUNYA WATANABE “Zipper” dress, Spring/Summer 2005 €1,000–1,500 ($1,150–1,750)
“I was seduced by the African feel of this dress, designed by Rei Kawakubo’s apprentice Junya Watanabe, who worked under Kawakubo at Comme des Garçons.”
GIVENCHY Duchess satin dinner dress, Autumn/Winter 1956–57 Haute Couture €1,800–2,500 ($2,100–2,850)
“For me, this style is the quintessence of the little black dress. I chose a picture of this dress for the poster for my 1996 exhibition at the Printemps Haussmann department store in Paris.”
“This is an especially important dress because it shows the elegance of Delphine Seyrig, who is wearing the exact same dress in Alain Resnais’s dreamlike 1961 film Last Year at Marienbad.” 1921–2010 The Little Black Dress – Collection Didier Ludot will be exhibited in Paris from 28–30 September & 2 October. Auction: 3 October. Enquiries: +33 1 53 05 53 05.

CURATED
RON ARAD All Light Long, 2002 £50,000–70,000 ($64,000–90,000)
“Arad is the eternal innovator and experimenter – always pushing the potential of new technology – and here he really flexes his material muscles. Carbon-coated honeycomb paper makes this huge table as strong as an ox, yet light as a feather.”
MATERIAL WHIRL Guest curating Sotheby’s Design auction, Wallpaper* editor in chief Tony Chambers picks works by leading creators who have engaged with materials in innovative ways.
JORIS LAARMAN Bone Rocker, 2008 £170,000–200,000 ($218,000–256,000)
“This is a mesmerising mix of natural, organic form and digital-technology production. Resulting from extensive scientific and material research and using computer algorithms to simulate natural growth, Laarman’s marble resin Bone Rocker is a kind of high-tech art nouveau. If Mother Nature designed a chair, it would probably look like this.”

Design: Living in a Material World will be exhibited in London from 13–16 October. Auction: 17 October. Enquiries: +44 20 7293 5568.
Vertical Bench, 2011 £30,000–50,000 ($39,000–64,000)
“Is it seating? Is it a wall-hanging sculpture? Is it a plate of wooden spaghetti? Whichever way you look at it, it’s a talking point and a magnificent manipulation of material, form and function.”
STUDIO JOB Cabinet from the Perished collection, 2006 £40,000–60,000 ($52,000–77,000)
“Playful and joyful at first glance, there is often a dark humour lurking beneath the studio’s work. This cabinet, made from Makassar ebonyveneered wood with maple inlay, incorporates the fine crafts of French 17th-century marquetry found in pieces by André-Charles Boulle” – a true merging of traditional techniques and modern digital production.”
JASPER MORRISON Wing Nut Chair, 1985 £10,000–15,000 ($13,000–20,000)
“A piece of huge interest and importance, as it was designed and hand-built by Morrison himself while a student at the Royal College of Art in 1985. There are many clues in the simplicity of form, materials and construction to what he would go on to create and stand for over the subsequent 30-plus years.”
AT HOME WITH ART
LOW-KEY LUXURIOUS For designer Robert Stilin, a home should be as liveable as it is chic, writes Stephanie Sporn.
PHOTOGRAPH BY JOSHUA MCHUGH
How would you describe your approach to design? Mixing and layering different mediums is what I do in my practice. It’s how I view the world and how I view living and collecting. People don’t just buy art or design. They buy different pieces and have to put them together. Combining a variety of art and objects shows how things play off one another and create a mood and feeling.

“We all want things that look beautiful, but if they’re uncomfortable and not functional, who cares?” says Robert Stilin, the New York- and Hamptons-based designer known for interiors that manage to be both laid-back and opulent. “I like homes that feel very real,” he continues. “I am not interested in creating showplaces.” Indeed, Stilin’s designs are anything but ostentatious. By combining clean-lined furnishings from various eras with refined, tactile materials, Stilin creates a sense of warmth and comfort – the ideal environments for his clients’ diverse art collections. With a 2016 nomination to Architectural Digest’s AD100 list and projects ranging from a 50-acre, park-like family compound in Louisville, Kentucky, to a country house in Bridgehampton for a couple who ardently collect contemporary art, Stilin is busy these days. Yet this summer, he found time to select items from Sotheby’s Contemporary Living Online: Prints, Photographs and Design auction and created vignettes around them. Stilin spoke with Stephanie Sporn about his early influences, favourite artists and tips for incorporating art into a home.

Are most of your clients experienced art collectors? They all have an affinity for art. I have everyone from budding collectors to people who have been collecting for decades. Some are very independent; others work with an adviser. I always teach them and encourage them to collect. Art adds so much value to your life, and I personally cannot imagine a home without it. Do you follow any guidelines to incorporate art into a room? I don’t think people should live in museums – clean white boxes with perfect lighting to showcase art and furniture. My clients don’t want to own warehouses full of art: they want to live with their art. People create so much fear about these valuable objects. Yes, art is expensive, but it is meant to be lived with.
Any mentors in particular? Early on, someone who had a big impact on me was collector Beth Rudin DeWoody. Travelling and shopping with her opened my eyes and taught me to search beyond the obvious things that attracted me. Also, all the people I’ve worked with over the years at Sotheby’s are like walking encyclopedias of art. The art world is really intimidating, less so now than twenty years ago, when I felt there was this natural disdain for designers. I was insecure about it, but I absorbed everything over time. The people that I have met at auction houses and galleries – along with designers, dealers, artists and collectors sharing opportunities and sources – all have been my education.

You are also a collector. What kind of art do you live with? I’ve been collecting photography for 30 years. I love large-scale images, foldings and hangings. I also collect paintings, works on paper, et cetera, and I own works by 150-plus artists. I like to live in a very layered way. A few names that come to mind are Richard Misrach, Frank Thiel, Wade Guyton, John Chamberlain, Damien Hirst, Jack Pierson and Stanley Whitney. What is your advice to new collectors? Don’t overthink. Don’t make things too special and too precious. Larry Gagosian once said to me, “Do you like the painting? Can you afford it? If the answers are yes, then you should buy it.” He says that to people all the time: if you can afford it and you like it, buy it. Enjoy beautiful things and make them part of your life. Do a reasonable amount of homework, but don’t overanalyse. Art should be fun and make you feel good. # Stephanie Sporn is a staff writer for sothebys.com.
PORTRAIT BY RICHARD PHIBBS
How did you break into the design world? As a kid I used to sketch cars and houses, but I was raised in a family that didn’t see design as an option for me. My dad was an entrepreneur; I was studying business. It wasn’t until after college that circumstances in my life evolved. Around 1989 I opened a sophisticated design store in Palm Beach that had new and vintage furniture, art and objects. One day a couple came in wanting to buy everything and asked if I could help with their house. I didn’t necessarily know how to do that, but I just taught myself along the way. Travelling and a lot of amazing mentors in the design and art worlds are how I got myself to where I am today.

CONNECTICUT
Sculptural elements, natural light and clear views of the surrounding landscape combine to make this exceptional midcentury modern house an unprecedented experience in living. Staying true to architect Eliot Noyes’s original vision, the renovations by architect Joeb Moore and builder David Prutting preserved his sophisticated approach while making the home conform to today’s standards. Natural materials such as wood and stone add warmth, and the house’s remarkable proportions are enhanced by the expansive use of glass. $6,950,000 Property ID: XXQC6F | sir.com William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty Fatou Niang +1 212 961 7428 Inger Stringfellow +1 203 321 9361
Midcentury modern may be to architecture what rock and roll – according to singer-songwriter Neil Young – is to popular music: it can never die. Begun in the late 1930s, the modernist style took hold after World War II as new materials and building techniques allowed architects to break with the forms and methods of the past. Decades on, midcentury modern’s clean lines, open floor plans and expansive windows continue to appeal. Architect Carib Daniel Martin renovated the midcentury modern house in Kensington, Maryland, that now serves as both his residence and office. He says he’s attracted to its simplicity and airiness and to the way homes of this era effectively “straddle two worlds: they have a modernist feel but are still connected to the more traditional idea of what a home is.” This, he believes, “is why people feel comfortable in them.” On the other side of the country, midcentury modern architects and builders left legacies in California, particularly in Palm Springs and the San Francisco Bay Area. “We are fortunate to have an inventory of homes built in the 1950s by developer Joseph Eichler, the pioneer who brought midcentury modern to the masses,” says Michael Dreyfus of Golden Gate Sotheby’s International Realty in Palo Alto. “The homes were able to deliver so much in less space. You can get three and four bedrooms in a very small footprint,” he continues, noting that buyers still like the efficiency. More recently, Dreyfus has noticed midcentury modern elements in new construction. “Younger buyers in Silicon Valley are more design-oriented, and there’s something about the style that’s captured people’s imaginations,” he says. Museum exhibitions trumpet the style’s culture-shaping impact, architectural walking tours sell out, and events such as Modernism Week, a biannual festival in Palm Springs, draw thousands of fans to buildings by William Krisel, Richard Neutra and Donald Wexler. Yes, fans – just like rock and roll. # New York-based writer Iyna Bort Caruso has contributed to The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Newsday and others.

IN FULL BLOOM From new fragrances to fine jewels, Aerin Lauder’s impeccable taste knows no bounds.

Aerin Lauder has no doubt her childhood visits to her famous grandmother Estée’s houses in Manhattan, Palm Beach and East Hampton were deeply formative experiences. “My earliest memories are of how she smelled and her jewellery,” she recalls, in a telling association of fragrance, aesthetics and glamour. “When I was really little, I would reach up and grab the jewellery she left on her dresser. I was fascinated by these incredible objects.” With the upcoming Fine Jewels sale at Sotheby’s New York on 17 October, Lauder – who worked for two decades in various divisions of Estée Lauder, Inc., before launching her own global luxury lifestyle brand AERIN in 2012 – has an opportunity to link her long-standing loves of fragrance and jewels. As she prepares to launch the new AERIN Tuberose Collection, which features Tuberose Le Jour (for daytime) and Tuberose Le Soir (for nightime), Lauder is partnering with Sotheby’s to explore this inescapable dichotomy among the auction’s offerings. She is also consigning two gems of her own, the proceeds from which will benefit the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF), an organisation founded by her aunt Evelyn in 1993 that today stands as the largest private funder of breast cancer research in the world. Lauder says she has always enjoyed picking different types of adornment depending on the time of day. “For day, I love really fun, wonderful, dramatic pieces of gold. At night, I like to incorporate stones and wear, for example,
a big cocktail ring.” The two items she has donated to the sale illustrate her taste: perfect for day is her gold, rock-crystal and diamond ring by David Webb, while a glamorous night on the town calls for a gold-and-diamond ring by Van Cleef & Arpels. Whatever the hour, Lauder believes it is of utmost importance that jewellery be memorable – an opinion she inherited from her illustrious ancestor. “My grandmother loved big, iconic pieces,” she says. “She liked to wear just one great jewel, with a great dress and handbag. She taught me the idea that less is more.” Such was Aerin Lauder’s inspiration when she launched her own company five years ago. Founded on the principle that living beautifully should be easy, the brand develops tailored collections in the realms of beauty, fashion accessories and home decor, which are available on her website and at select retailers. “For a busy woman, true luxury is having your options pre-edited for you,” Lauder explains. “It was the way my grandmother started her business, too. She started with just four or five products. We like to do things in a small, focused way. The idea is, you don’t have to have so much, but just have a few great pieces.” With her new fragrance collection, Lauder tells the story of one of nature’s most perfect flowers, the tuberose. Long held as a symbol of love and friendship, this prized blossom reveals different scent impressions at dawn and dusk. Hence, Lauder’s Tuberose Le Jour offers the dew-touched aroma of this flower at sunrise,

while Tuberose Le Soir evokes its opulent, intoxicating aura at sunset. “Tuberose Le Jour was inspired by the magical fields of tuberose flowers grown in India, where people gather buds at dawn to preserve their bright, fresh floralcy,” says Lauder. At night, the flower takes on a distinctly different character. “The fully opened petals are harvested only at sunset,” she explains. “I was fascinated to have experienced how the fragrance changed, becoming increasingly rich.” It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the tuberose was one of her grandmother’s favourite flowers. “Even today, when I smell one, it reminds me of her. My grandmother loved fragrance and told me never to leave the house without it. She was always testing new fragrances, but she especially loved Beautiful,” Lauder recalls, referring to the Estée Lauder scent launched in 1985. “She had an incredible nose and a passion for flowers. She loved very feminine Bulgarian roses and white flowers in general. Her houses, especially her tables, always had the most beautiful arrangements.” To refine her own horticultural knowledge and her nose, this summer Lauder toured some of England’s great gardens, including those at Chatsworth in Derbyshire and Badminton in Gloucestershire, seats of the Dukes of Devonshire and Beaufort, respectively. “The beauty of the English countryside is amazing. Everything looks so effortless and easy, yet
luxurious and warm,” Lauder reports. “I’ve never seen geraniums like I saw there. In America, you just find hot pink or red. In England I saw purple, sparkling pink and climbing geraniums, which I had never seen before. It was magic.” Another wellspring for Lauder are the gardens of her home in East Hampton, which she inherited from her grandmother. The house, decorated largely in her favourite shades of blue and white, is a refuge she shares with her husband, their teenage boys, plus three dogs. “Weekends are all family time. We love to go sailing, bike riding, barbecueing.” But for Lauder, even weekend casual has its limits: no matter what, she dresses for dinner. On a recent safari in Tanzania, for instance, she pulled out a Stella McCartney ruffled lace blouse, which she dressed up with a piece of jewellery. Wherever she is, Lauder seeks out museums and galleries, as befits the daughter of esteemed collectors and philanthropists Ronald and Jo Carole Lauder. Her father, a former US ambassador to Austria, founded the Neue Galerie in New York in 2001. Her mother has been a longtime leading trustee of New York’s Museum of Modern Art, one of the institutions Aerin also supports, along with the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where she has been a Met Gala co-chair. In her rare downtime, a favourite occupation consists in browsing through auction catalogues. “From the jewellery catalogues, I have gotten a lot of ideas for packaging for my products,” Lauder says. “I get so much inspiration from them.” It’s only apt that the Fine Jewels sale should now get a little inspiration from Lauder herself. $ James Reginato is writer-at-large of Vanity Fair and author of Great Houses, Modern Aristocrats (Rizzoli). Fine Jewels will be exhibited at Sotheby’s New York from 13–17 October. Auction: 17 October. Enquiries: +1 212 606 7392. sothebys.com/finejewels.

usaku Maezawa is ready for his close-up. For his photo shoot with leading Japanese magazine photographer Yasunari Kikuma, the 41-year-old e-commerce entrepreneur arrives with a game attitude. Maezawa has brought to Kikuma’s studio a few options from his personal wardrobe, and Kikuma selects a simple black T-shirt and jeans, then asks him to take off his shoes. The shoot will take place in front of a solid blue backdrop, the colour chosen to echo the palette of Jean-Michel Basquiat’s Untitled, a 1982 painting that Maezawa bought at a recent Sotheby’s auction for a record $110.5 million. The barefoot look is a nod to Basquiat, who famously posed shoeless for a 1985 New York Times Magazine cover story that helped rocket him to art world fame just three years before his untimely death. Maezawa “is like a model,” says Kikuma. He should know: The photographer has shot Kate Moss, Victoria Beckham and Penélope Cruz for publications including Vogue Japan and Dazed. “He is a very, very creative person,” Kikuma continues. In just twenty minutes, the youthful businessman – who played drums for a rock band before founding e-commerce giant Start Today and its offshoot Zozotown – has adopted a series of playful poses, then switches to a more Zen-like posture with some rare 17th-century Japanese ceramics he brought from home. “It was so much fun to work with him,” concludes Kikuma. “Maybe more than with a normal model!” Maezawa has been getting a lot of practice posing for the camera. The Basquiat auction, which took place in New York in May, captured the world’s attention. Within days, the collector was interviewed and photographed for newspapers around the globe, including The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal in the US, Germany’s Die Welt and the Chinese edition of the Financial Times. According to the Journal, Maezawa’s purchases have “almost single-handedly shifted prices skyward for Basquiat.”

Before the May auction, it was widely expected that the 1982 Basquiat would edge out the artist’s previous record of $57.3 million, which Maezawa had also set, in 2016. But even the most jaded auction aficionados found themselves holding their breaths in the Sotheby’s saleroom that May evening. Auctioneer Oliver Barker started the bidding at $57 million, and the price swiftly rose to $68 million, offered by a telephone bidder. That bidder, it turned out, was Maezawa, who was watching the simulcast of the auction from his Tokyo home in a time zone twelve hours ahead, calmly phoning in his bids as his staff watched with mounting nervousness. Barker was poised theatrically, announcing “fair warning now,” and about to bring the gavel down, when a new bidder in the room raised his paddle. It is unheard-of for a bidder to enter the contest at such a dizzying altitude, and gasps could be heard in the room. This was followed by complete silence from the crowd, as the two determined bidders went back and forth for several minutes until finally, $30 million later, the phone bidder took the painting with a $98 million bid. (The final price includes the buyer’s premium.) Then the next phase in the drama began unfolding. Generally, when the $100 million bar is broken at auction, rumours abound concerning the identity of the buyer. Such was the case when Edvard Munch’s The Scream sold at Sotheby’s in 2012 for $120 million to an anonymous phone bidder, inciting weeks of speculation about the owner’s identity until The Wall Street Journal reported that it was a prominent New York collector. That was not the case with the Basquiat sale. Within a few minutes, Maezawa’s 200,000 followers on Instagram and Twitter learned that he was the painting’s new owner. Posting a photo of himself taken a few days earlier during a private viewing of the painting in New York, Maezawa wrote: “I am happy to announce that I just won this masterpiece. When I first encountered this painting, I was struck with so much excitement and gratitude for my love of art. I want to share that experience with as many people as possible.” Soon, the world learned a tremendous amount about Maezawa’s wide and deep commitment to collecting. The best place to start is on Instagram. To follow @yusaku2020 is to enter a world where art is a defining feature of everyday life. There you’ll find photos he frequently posts of new additions to his collection and how they are displayed in his home, such as a Richard Prince nurse painting in a stairwell and prized 20thcentury design classics by Jean Prouvé in the living room. He also frequently includes pictures documenting his visits to museums and galleries

around the world, time spent with artists like Ai Weiwei and Takashi Murakami, his tours of fabled French wine cellars and even his appearance at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Met Gala. In an interview over email, I asked Maezawa for his views on social media and the way it may be changing the staid art world. “I believe information sharing and openness allow things to become more fairly evaluated,” he replied. “My announcement of the Basquiat purchase on Instagram has provided an opportunity for the world to reassess and acknowledge the outstanding talent of the artist. On the other hand, I also look for the works of completely unknown and young artists on Instagram and actually purchase their works if I feel the quality is good.” Social media provides an accessible window into Maezawa’s world, but for those who have been following his journey as a collector for many years, the picture is much richer and more complex. According to Amy Cappellazzo, chairman of
“I LIKE TO SHARE WHAT I LOVE WITH EVERYONE.”
KAORI NISHIDA
(Clockwise from top) Exhibitions organised by Maezawa’s Contemporary Art Foundation: Generation Y: 1977, featuring works by Adrian Ghenie and others (2016); Onko Chishin, featuring works by On Kawara and Donald Judd (2014); and Jean Prouvé: The Constructor (2016).
Sotheby’s Fine Art Division, “Yusaku Maezawa is an incredibly brave, innovative and passionate collector who is not bound by convention. His vision is all his own – guided by his instinct, sensibility and eye for quality. His approach to building a collection is organic and transcends typical boundaries, like geographical origin or historical period. The results are impressive and represent collecting at the highest level.” If courage and innovation are the characteristics that have guided Maezawa’s journey as a collector, it is a desire to share his art widely – and not just through social media – that truly sets him apart. In 2012 in Tokyo, he started the Contemporary Art Foundation (CAF), which organises exhibitions and gives grants to young artists and musicians. The foundation’s innovative programming dovetails with Maezawa’s collecting interests, as in a recent exhibition of Jean Prouvé furniture designs it staged at the French ambassador’s official residence in Tokyo, and a 2014 show that juxtaposed the conceptual art of On Kawara with minimalist sculpture by Donald Judd. Kawara and Judd are two artists Maezawa cites as representative of his collection, along with Basquiat, Jeff Koons and Pablo Picasso. Maezawa’s interests aren’t limited to art market favourites. “I am also fascinated by artists of my own generation and those younger than me. I believe art has no boundaries, and my passion is equally strong for many other categories. My collection includes not only contemporary art, but also design by Jean Royère and Japanese antique ceramics such as Oribe and Raku.” Does he take a varied approach to collecting art, design and antiquities? “I don’t feel any differences,” he replies. “I want to live surrounded by beautiful things.” Putting his collection on view through the CAF’s exhibitions and giving young emerging artists opportunities makes Maezawa happy: “I like to share what I love with everyone,” he says. That impulse has led him to plan a museum to showcase his holdings in Chiba City, his hometown, some 40 kilometres from downtown Tokyo. Yet beyond acknowledging that the museum is in the planning stages, Maezawa remains mum about its schedule or even who its architect will be. All that seems certain is that when the collector decides to reveal details, it will be through social media. So make sure to keep following @yusaku2020. * Anthony Calnek is editor in chief of Sotheby’s magazine.

Cultivating China’s
NEW TERROIR The Yunnan region could become winemaking’s next Shangri-La, reports Mark Ellwood.
n a rural corner of the Himalayan foothills, deep in the north of China’s southwestern Yunnan province, Frenchman Maxence Dulou rules an unlikely fiefdom: a patchwork of vineyards bolted precariously to steep slopes dotted with small villages. So wildly does the terroir vary, Dulou confides, that he had to carve the land into more than 300 distinct portions, each individually mapped and managed. In every lot, fruit-keeping, pruning, irrigation and weeding are customised, with the work conducted by local farmers who tend to the vines by hand. In Yunnan, each acre requires 1,400 hours of labour per year, about four times more than what is bestowed on even the best Bordeaux or Burgundy. “If you wanted to do this in France, people would say, ‘You are crazy,’” Dulou says. “But in China, we have the people for it, people who understand the plants.” The product of such painstaking cultivation is Ao Yun, a new wine that Dulou hopes will shatter the perception of Chinese wine among oenophiles. A 90 per cent Cabernet Sauvignon and 10 per cent Cabernet Franc blend, Ao Yun is grown at altitudes up to 8,500 feet – hence its name, which means “roaming above the clouds” – and produced in highly limited quantities: only 24,000 bottles are available worldwide. The first vintage, 2013, was released a year ago, and 2014’s has just come to market. While clearly in command of this ambitious enterprise, Dulou didn’t create Ao Yun by himself: from the outset, luxury brand LVMH underwrote the project, which was directed by wine division head Jean-Guillaume Prats. Several years ago, Prats saw clear parallels between rural Yunnan and several of the world’s finest winemaking regions. “It’s like Bordeaux in terms of weather patterns, and like the remote villages of Spain where people have farmed for generations,” Prats noted recently, adding: “The extraordinary landscapes resemble the Uco Valley in Argentina, and the light and blue sky are like Stellenbosch in South Africa.” It was in South Africa, in fact, that Prats first met and was impressed by the Bordeaux-born Dulou, who was then working in one of the country’s vineyards. The combination of his experience in France and his ability to translate it on a new continent made Dulou perfectly suited for the task when, after surveying various potential locations across China’s Middle Kingdom, Prats took a 50-year lease on this breathtaking area in Yunnan. Making the long-term commitment of leading LVMH’s China project, Dulou once again moved continents, along with his Chilean-born wife and two young children. There were already vines under cultivation in Yunnan’s rural heartland, brought there by a French missionary in the late 19th century, but production was small-scale and largely stymied since the Cultural Revolution. Dulou was instantly

“AGRICULTURE HERE HASN’T CHANGED IN A HUNDRED YEARS,” SAYS WINEMAKER MAXENCE DULOU, “AND OUR AMBITION WAS TO KEEP IT THAT WAY.”
smitten by this unexpected location – and not just because older vines like these would allow production to ramp up much more rapidly than starting from scratch. “The villages here – Adong, Xidang, Sinong and Shuori – are a patchwork of walnut trees, corn fields, barley and vineyards. Agriculture here hasn’t changed in 100 years, and our ambition was to keep it that way,” he says. The chance to hand-tend the vines was unmissable, as was the opportunity to meticulously compose a wine using grapes from discrete small holdings: with the four villages sitting at different altitudes, their terroirs and levels of sun vary wildly, allowing for much nuance. Although these possibilities were intertwined with obvious logistical challenges, Dulou was not deterred – on the contrary. The first and largest obstacle lay in the remoteness of the vineyards, a gruelling day’s drive through the mountains from the Yunnan capital of Kunming. Dulou rapidly recognised that Ao Yun’s operation would need to be self-sufficient: if equipment malfunctioned, for example, he and his team needed to fix it themselves rather than wait two weeks or more until a repairman could reach them. Another difficulty resided in the frequency of power outages, which put such processes as bottling at risk if the electricity cut out during operation. After several such incidents, Dulou installed a backup generator as a safeguard and has kept many other processes electricity-free: for instance, de-stemming is done manually, thus avoiding potential mechanical hiccups. The extremes of weather and climate presented another challenge. The valleys are so steep-sided that they receive restricted hours of sunshine even in midsummer. As a result, grape-picking usually takes place in late October, around 160 days after flowering, as opposed to the typical 120-day turnaround in Bordeaux. But the climate here has unexpected upsides, too: the dry, thin air keeps pests and diseases like botrytis and mildew largely at bay, so farming can be organic and pesticide-free. Vinification at such altitudes was also groundbreaking, and Dulou tinkered with the process like a mad scientist, exploring how the low levels of oxygen impact yeast, maceration and extraction. Ultimately, Ao Yun’s custom-built cellar was sited in the highest village, Adong, at around 8,500 feet. Housed in a round, earth-walled building, it is intended to blend seamlessly with the existing local architecture. Ao Yun is not the only premium wine originating in China. Another LVMH subsidiary, Chandon, already produces a champagne-style sparkling wine in the northern region of Ningxia. Several years ago, Italian conglomerate Illva snapped up a sizable share of Changyu, the country’s oldest winemaker, and has since helped the producer upgrade both its technical facilities and its quality. As a result, Changyu’s $900 million Wine City – a kind of oenophile’s theme park in Yantai – relies on Italian-made machines for production and bottling. But will such Old World expertise applied to new and existing Chinese winemakers persuade wine lovers worldwide to sample their Cabernets and bubblies? Perhaps Ao Yun will begin to answer this question. Sotheby’s wine
expert Nicholas Jackson seems to think so. “I feel this is the first great Chinese wine. In terms of wine style, a lot of people have said it is like Bordeaux, but I don’t see that,” Jackson says. “I think it has a unique nose and palate, a freshness and saline character that balance the power, and a local herbal streak that comes from that inclusion of 10 per cent Cabernet Franc. Will it sustain? I don’t see why not, given the quality of this first vintage.” Unsurprisingly, LVMH’s Prats agrees: “Allow me to dream, and I would like it to be like Penfolds Grange,” he says, referring to the famed Australian wine. “An iconic New World wine that is perceived as something unique, with very few counterparts – a benchmark wine that carries a mystique.” That is a lofty aim, but one that Dulou might well achieve. After all, his new region of choice has long been thought of as the seat of the mythical Shangri-La. #

ommit to something,” reads the tagline on the photograph of a woman wearing diamond earrings and little else, breastfeeding twins over a plate of steak tartare. If Equinox was looking to turn heads with its recent ad campaign, the elite fitness brand has succeeded. This startling image was created by Steven Klein, the photographer whose own “something” is an artistic vision that is seductive, transgressive and gender-bending. Saturated colour, highcontrast tonality and pointed storytelling are typical of Klein, whose background in film informs his fashion editorials and luxury-brand campaigns with cinematic magnetism and suspense. Klein says his models and celebrity subjects “are fearless when they can understand the difference between making pretty pictures versus interesting photographs.” “Ugliness and beauty are in the eye of the beholder,” adds Klein, keenly aware that his daring work has caused shock waves over the years. When he photographs A-list stars such as Brad Pitt, Naomi Campbell or Lady Gaga, he often portrays them in scenarios that are erotic, foreboding and sometimes violent. In a 2003 sound and video installation, for instance, the photographer cast Madonna as a performance artist living out her most abject fears: in one scene, the pop star, surrounded by coyotes ready to pounce, is in a backbend and tied to a pole. Bondage, extreme poses, constricting clothing and dangerously vertical footwear are preferred Klein tropes. In his photograph Killer Heels, Klein shows female feet clad in devil-red stilettos after they have irrevocably scratched a car hood. The work, a 34-by-60-inch still from his video for the 2014 Brooklyn Museum exhibition of the same name, will be offered directly from Klein’s studio in Sotheby’s Photographs sale on 5 October. As one of the most in-demand imagemakers working today, Klein is a favourite contributor to major fashion glossies such as Vogue and W. Yet one of his longest-running and closest collaborations has been with Visionaire, the influential, high-concept art and style publication that has come to define a certain brand of downtown New York cool. At its launch in 1991, Visionaire was the brainchild of the ultra-hip trio of Cecilia Dean, a student and model, and James Kaliardos and Stephen Gan, classmates at the Parsons School of Design (Gan left Visionaire in 2014). Their creation challenged the traditional magazine format: rather than as issues, Visionaire would be released in editions built around a theme and created in collaboration with artists,

photographers, designers and performers – Mario Testino, Alexander McQueen and David Bowie, to name a few. The editions, numbering 66 so far, have been sculptural objects by contemporary artists, such as nesting-doll toys with designs by painter Alex Katz; more ephemeral, as in a set of 21 vials of experimental fragrances each paired with a picture by an international photographer; or in the form of provocative images that artists couldn’t easily publish elsewhere. “We were always – and still are – not afraid to publish highly controversial or explicit imagery,” says Dean, adding that Visionaire has remained advertisement-free “so photographers can express themselves without the usual commercial constraints.” Klein’s first appearance was in 1993’s Visionaire 8 THE ORIENT, which began an ongoing creative dialogue. “Steven is a visionary,” says Kaliardos. “There’s no one like him. His identity is so clear, yet he has been able to traverse many different styles and atmospheres.” Klein’s work has been featured in nearly a third of Visionaire’s editions, but the photographer has not had one devoted entirely to himself – until now. The forthcoming Visionaire 67 FETISH is all Klein, comprising ten neverbefore-seen photographs enclosed in a sleek three-piece black box produced in an edition of 200. (It will be unveiled this autumn at Sotheby’s New York.) “Visionaire 67 FETISH is the absolute, unadulterated embracing of photography and Steven’s imagination,” says Dean. “By delivering something tactile, we are paying homage to the art and
craft of real photography and printing.” Kaliardos adds that the collectible format is “a remedy to the current nature of the disposable modern fashion editorial.” Appropriately, in Klein’s Visionaire 67 FETISH series, pleasure and pain are intertwined. In one photo, leopard pumps stomp over a blindfolded man’s face. In another, a pointy crimson stiletto stabs the crotch of a decapitated Ken doll. This edition also includes a version of Killer Heels, the work that Klein is offering at Sotheby’s. “I love the juxtaposition,” says Dean, noting how both stilettos and cars are clichéd symbols of female and male desirability. “It could seem like the woman has been forced to do something against her will, but my interpretation is that she is alone and seeking sweet revenge by ruining a man’s prized possession: his car.” Klein specialises in cultivating that kind of ambiguity. “I try to create intrigue through the ridiculous and the macabre,” he says. “For me, it is a balance of dark humour and a study of sculptural objects. The heels have strong personalities – some of them are killers.” # Stephanie Sporn is a staff writer at sothebys.com and has written about art and culture for The Hollywood Reporter, DuJour, Refinery29 and others.

Running Cedar Running Cedar encompasses seventy acres of absolute privacy in an incomparable blend of indoor and outdoor living spaces, all perched above the Rappahannock River flowing one hundred feet below. Richard Arentz, a renowned landscape architect, spent years designing the house and grounds with architect, Richard Williams, and interior designer, Jose Solis Betancourt, before even a single stone was laid. The result is a seamless passage between landscape and house, a clever synthesis of modern and traditional, much more than a contemporary take on the vernacular. The property serves equally well as a comfortable place for owner and guests, be they there for the weekend or longer, as well as a backdrop for an eighty person dinner on the west lawn.

ANATOMY OF AN ARTWORK
THE OLDEST PRESIDENTIAL PORTRAIT When he posed for this portrait, John Quincy Adams
studio of Philip Haas. This recently rediscovered plate is
(1767–1848) had completed his term as the sixth American
believed to be the earliest photograph of an American
president (1825–29), but he was still serving his country
president to come to market in many years and is possibly the
as a congressman from Massachusetts. An indefatigable
earliest extant photograph of the man himself. An invaluable
diarist, Adams documented the sitting in entries for 8 and
document, this daguerreotype crystallizes a remarkable
16 March 1843, when he twice visited the Washington, DC,
moment in the history of photography and American politics.

1. INNOVATION Philip Haas may have learned the process of printing images on chemically treated metal in 1839, the year it was invented in Paris. As the first widely available photographic process, daguerreotypes were immensely popular.

2. POWER Not only was Adams the sixth US president and son of the second president, but he was also a Massachusetts senator, congressman and diplomat. Adams knew about governing, as evident in his commanding facial expression.
3. STUDIO The lamp, furniture, books and other props pictured here are believed to be the backdrop of Haas’s Washington, DC, studio. Although Haas was an accomplished daguerreotypist and lithographer, few of his portraits are known today.
4. IN WRITING Adams writes in his diary about visiting “Mr Haas’s shop” twice and describes the wondrousness of the technique: “The operation is performed in half a minute; but is yet altogether incomprehensible to me.”
5. PROVENANCE This daguerreotype comes directly from the descendants of Horace Everett (1779–1851), a colleague of Adams who was a congressman for Vermont from 1829–43. He is believed to have received this work as an inscribed gift from Adams.
