LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

There is a whole lot going on this week in New York. For the design savvy, there’s Collective Design, ICFF, Wanted Design, and more. For the art aficionados, there’s Frieze New York on Randall’s Island, NADA, Spring Masters, 1:54 Contemporary African Art Fair, Art Miami New York, etc. And did we mention Auction Week? Plus, all of the exhibitions opening in Chelsea, the Lower East Side, on and around Madison Avenue... It’s a lot to take in, and there’s so much we want to see. That’s why we’ve created Whitewaller—to help guide you through what’s what and who’s who, and to make sure you don’t miss anything that everyone will be talking about the next day. We’ve got Insider Tips that offer their sides of New York, with suggestions and recommendations that even seasoned New Yorkers will get something from. We chat with the curator of Frieze Projects, Cecilia Alemani, about her magical take on the commissioned art encounters at the tented contemporary art fair. We hear from Kelly Baum, one of the curators at the newly opened Met Breuer about the must-see show “Unfinished.” ICFF director Kevin O’Keefe lets us inside the biggest design event of the season, and we get a sneak peek at nendo’s sitespecific installation for Collective Design. Uptown, we hear from the directors of Spring Masters, and the head of the Madison Avenue BID about the neighborhood that we’d argue shines the most during spring. Across town, on Columbus Circle, be sure to check out the “MAD HOUSE” that the design collective Studio Job has created at the Museum of Arts and Design. And back for its second year at Pioneer Works in Red Hook, Brooklyn, 1:54 run by Touria El Glaoui is one of the fairs we’re most excited about visiting. It’s finally spring and finally sunny, so get outside, show some skin, and see something that inspires you. —Katy Donoghue, Editor in Chief

CECILIA ALEMANI Curator of Frieze Projects By Katy Donoghue

This year’s Frieze Projects aims to break up the fair with moments of magic, humor, and surprise. Curated by High Line Art’s Cecilia Alemani, the program will include work by Alex Da Corte, Anthea Hamilton, David Horvitz, Eduardo Navarro, and Heather Phillipson. We asked Alemani about what we can expect to encounter. WHITEWALLER: Why did you want to create an enchanted atmosphere? CECILIA ALEMANI: Frieze Projects presents an opportunity to interrupt the regular rhythm and pace of the fair. I see Frieze Projects as presenting an opportunity for our visitors to have a different type of artistic encounter— one that you wouldn’t expect to have in the context of a fair and that will take you by surprise. WW: How did that dictate the six artists you chose to create special projects this year? CA: It’s a group of international artists, many of whom are not very well known in the U.S.

Anthea Hamilton and Heather Phillipson are both from London, but they haven’t shown that much here in New York. While David Horvitz has done few projects here, this one is truly specific to Frieze and its audience. Alex Da Corte will present his first public artwork in New York outside the fair, while Eduardo Navarro, an artist from Argentina, will organize a performance throughout the park on Randall’s Island. WW: Can you tell us about Alex Da Corte and Eduardo Navarro's projects, which interact with the outdoor space of the fair? CA: Alex Da Corte’s project comprises a huge inflatable balloon that will float above the tent, and will be visible also from the highway across the river, creating a new, unexpected landmark above Frieze New York. Eduardo Navarro will animate Randall’s Island Park with a performance: five dancers wearing circular mirror disks on their waists will follow the movement on the clouds above the park, reflecting the sky and surrounding landscape in their costumes in a mesmerizing procession that will take the viewer outside the fair. WW: Anthea Hamilton will reinterpret Italian architect Mario Bellini's Kar-A-Sutra futuristic inhabitable car created in 1972. How did that work become a point of inspiration for Hamilton? CA: Anthea has always been fascinated with Italian radical design, and has created works in collaboration with renowned Italian industrial designer Gaetano Pesce. Stemming from this interest, her project at Frieze New York, will bring to life a fantastic series images that document Kar-A-Sutra—a hybrid car the Italian architect Mario Bellini created in 1972. For her project at Frieze New York, the artist presents a reconstruction of the car, and has invited 7 mimes to occupy the vehicle for the duration of the fair, demonstrating for visitors a variety of ways to inhabit the space when using the car. WW: Heather Phillipson will look at the shape of the tent as a spinal cord. How exactly will that manifest? CA: Heather’s project consists of four discrete installations, combining sculptural elements with video and sound in a site- specific work that viewers will encounter scattered throughout the fair. Since the work will be created in the environment, I can’t reveal too many details in advance, but I can tell you there will be lots of plastic dogs, a trampoline, and artificial topiary!

WW: How did you and David Horvitz come up with the idea to hire a professional pickpocketer, who will drop miniature sculptures into visitor’s pockets and bags? CA: In his practice, David Horvitz looks at the rules and logics that structure our everyday life, and seeks to subvert them with small gestures. His Frieze New York project fits very well in his artistic practice, as it’s the first time that unsuspecting visitors will walk out of the fair with an artwork they didn’t consciously acquire!

KELLY BAUM Curator in the Department of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art By Katy Donoghue

In March, the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s new contemporary art and modern program debuted at the newly opened Met Breuer, the former site of The Whitney Museum of American Art. The space was inaugurated by exhibitions “Unfinished: Thoughts Left Visible,” on view through September 4, and “Nasreen Mohamedi,” on view through June 5. We spoke with Kelly Baum, Curator in the Department of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, before the opening this spring. WHITEWALLER: This March, the Met Breuer building opened with a focus on modern and contemporary art. How does the Met leasing the building from the Whitney affect programming? KELLY BAUM: The Met has expanded and invigorated its program of modern and contemporary art, and of course, the lease also facilitates the expansion and invigoration of that program. The Met Breuer allows us to expand the program physically. It gives us another stage in which to perform, which is terrific. We’re also making great strides in growing the collection so that it reflects the new areas of curatorial expertise. What we want to do is create a collection that’s more global in scope than it is currently—mostly a collection of American and European art across the 20th Century. We’re acquiring works of art that simply wouldn’t have been considered 20 years ago, works in a range of media and works by artists that weren’t on the

radar previously—women artists, artists of color. I think the collection has changed and expanded so radically now, it will be unfamiliar to a lot of people. And we’re waiting to put more of what’s been languishing in storage on view. WW: A couple exhibitions will inaugurated the space: “Unfinished: Thoughts Left Visible” and “Nasreen Mohamedi.” Can you tell us about these shows? KB: Nasreen Mohamedi is a very important Indian modernist artist who is underrepresented and undershown in the United States, and so that exhibition signals our commitment to global modernism, to alternative, non-Western modernism. “Unfinished” is a collaborative, multi-departmental endeavor, and the Met will continue to operate on this model of working across departments, and also across geographies or historic periods. “Unfinished” spans 550 years of art. The earliest work in the show is an unfinished altar piece by Jan van Eyck from 1437, and the most recent work is an installation by Tatsuo Miyajima. So the date range—1437 to 2015—is extraordinary. WW: Which really states clearly, in one exhibition, how the Met’s new, expanded contemporary art department will compare to other museums more well-known for modern and contemporary art, like MoMA or the Whitney.

KB: The historic collections at the Met are the art history for modern and contemporary art. And so the DNA for Jackson Pollock, the DNA for Nasreen Mohamedi, the DNA for Kerry James Marshall (who’s on our exhibition calendar)—the DNA for that work is represented in the Met’s collection. And so all of the art-historical energy that informs a work by someone like Kerry James Marshall actually exists in the Met physically. You can physically visit that art before or after you see Kerry’s show. And I think that’s what makes it so exciting. Any museum contextualizes its collection, but we can provide a deep art history for the modern and contemporary art that you see here. It’s so interesting to me—and this was born out of the Met’s Artist Project—the series of online videos that the Met’s been producing, but nearly every day I bump into an artist at the Met. The artist will tell me that they return repeatedly to the Met to see collections of Japanese art or decorative art. The Met is really like the library. It’s a kind of living library for contemporary artists. We can show their art within that frame.

KEVIN O'KEEFE Show Director of ICFF By Eliza Jordan

This year, the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) is celebrating its 28th anniversary at the Jacob Javits Center, showcasing some of the world’s truest talent in custom, luxury, and high- end handmade furniture. To learn more about this year’s show, the direction of the ICFF franchise, and the introduction of ICFF Miami, we spoke to the show’s director, Kevin O’Keefe. WHITEWALLER: Is there anything new can we expect from ICFF 2016? For a first-time visitor to the fair, what’s on your recommended “must-s ee” list? KEVIN O'KEEFE: Well, that is very hard. There are over 200 new exhibitors, most from Europe and so many new designs and materials. Plus, most of the other almost 500 companies come to ICFF to introduce new concepts. Fortunately, the fair is walkable in day, so the visitor can take it all in. I would not miss ICFF Studio or ICFF Schools to take in some very unique presentations from our youngest design talents. Also, Luxe France is unique, as is the Italian Luxury Interiors pavilion of the HO.MI New York section. WW: The ICFF Global Emerging Designers program is showcasing undiscovered talent from over 20 countries, including France, Brazil, Italy, Portugal, Austria, and Spain. Are there any designers that we should be sure to keep our eyes open for? KO: Yes, be sure and check out the Emerging Designers from France—very special. WW: The best of this year’s design fairs will be featured in the “Best of Design Week” pavilion, including Tokyo Design Week and Barcelona Design Week. Tell us about this section.

KO: This is an entirely new initiative created as part of my role as a member of the NYCxDesign Steering Committee. A personal goal of mine is to make New York the “Global Design Metropolis” of the world. One initiative is to gather the several Design Week celebrations from around the world at ICFF and have them present to our audience their unique expression of creativity. ICFF 2016 is the start of what we hope will be a major section at ICFF in the future.

WW: Interior Design magazine and ICFF recently announced the NYCxDESIGN Awards—the first of its kind as an awards program celebrating New York City design, including areas like architecture, collectibles, craft, and technology. What are you looking for from the 10 awardees? KO: The very best. Excellence in design innovation. There are 500 events submitting thousands of applications, judged by a panel of 30 really standout industry expects. WW: ICFF Miami will debut in October at the Miami Beach Convention Center. Why is ICFF launching a Miami edition? What will be different about it in comparison to the New York edition? KO: The Miami design market is the hottest, fastest growth luxury development center in the Americas. ICFF New York brings in attendees from this key market—but not in the numbers that are truly representative of its size. Bringing the best of ICFF to Miami will work to serve this robust center and the region it naturally attracts—the Caribbean, Mexico, Central America, and the key South American markets. ICFF Miami will feature 200 exhibitors and attract between 3,500 to 4,000 architects, interior designers, developers, and luxury retailers. WW: Other fairs, such as Maison et Objet, also started an addition in Miami two years ago. Is this a new trend you foresee for fairs to expand upon their national international reach? KO: Maison & Objet Paris is, at heart, a gift and accessory show—very similar in make- up and attendance to our NYNOW Fair. Its extension in Miami mimics its larger parent closely. Attendees to Maison are consumers, and across the spectrum, smaller retailers. ICFF is about what’s best and what’s next in interiors and dedicated to trade. Architects, interior designers, developers, and luxury retail. I do expect that we could see new arrivals from Europe and Asia. Neither region is prospering, and in the case of Europe, it is actually suffering. The luxury interiors market in the U.S. is strong and ICFF is this sector’s core and most important event. The success of this industry is reflected in the growth of the ICFF Fair. We have doubled in size over the last three years.

TOURIA EL GLAOUI Founder & Director of 1:54 Contemporary African Art Fair By Katy Donoghue

The 1:54 Contemporary African Art Fair returns to Pioneer Works this spring, taking place from May 6-8 during Frieze Week. It started last year as a pop-up satellite edition, a platform that promotes art projects and artists from Africa and the diaspora, after launching in London in 2013. After seeing success among galleries, and the engagement of collectors, the public, and museums last year, 17 exhibitors will showcase over 60 emerging and established artists. Whitewaller spoke with the founder and director of the fair, Touria El Glaoui.

Curated by Koyo Kouoh, FORUM, 1:54’s discursive conversations series, also returns and will pivot around a number of key themes, including the status of the African art market, curating in the digital age, and contemporary forms of dissemination and exhibition. WW: You launched 1:54 in London in 2013. How does the London edition differ from the U.S. edition? How does the collector base of the U.S. compare to Europe in terms of understanding an interest in the African art market? TEG: The market for African and African diasporan artworks is going from strength to strength in the U.S. It is already largely developed, more so than in the U.K., with several major museums and institutions in New York dedicated to promoting African diasporan practices—Brooklyn Museum, MoCADA, for example, and myriad galleries are contributing toward its market, in addition to contemporary art discourse and discussion. WW: What makes sense for you about the venue of Pioneer Works for the New York fair?

Portrait by Chris Saunders

WHITEWALLER: This is the second year of 1:54 in New York. What are some of your thoughts looking back on last year's inaugural edition? And how will the fair change or expand this May?

TOURIA EL GLAOUI: For its second edition here in New York, we are delighted to announce several new features, including Special Projects 2016 and 1:54 Performs. Special Projects will encompass one-off events, such a book signing and presentation with artist Mickalene Thomas to mark her recent publication with Aperture, as well as provide a platform across the three days for projects and international collaborations. These include the Dakar Biennale, Goodman Gallery in Johannesburg, Clocktower Radio (based at Pioneer Works), and Stephen Burks Man Made. And I’m very excited to announce a new performance section co-presented with Performa and curated by Adrienne Edwards, Curator at Performa and Curator-at-Large at the Walker Art Center.

TEG: Pioneer Works has an incredible lineup of artist residencies, exhibitions, and educational programs, and we are so honored to have our fair here. Lawrence Lemaoana, 1985. Courtesy of the artist and Afronova

Many of the artists and educational programs tie very closely into 1:54. For example, the winter/spring 2016 Artists-inResidency program includes Omar Victor Diop, who will also have work present at the fair this spring. Also, artist Derrick Adams, who will be having an exhibition at Pioneer Works this June, will also have work at 1:54. It’s so exciting that we are able to make these connections to the place our fair takes place in the U.S. WW: In what ways do you see the African art market evolving in the future? Is it greater representation of African and African diasporan artists in the U.S., Europe, Asia, MENASA, or Sub-Saharan Africa? An increase in galleries within the continent?

Frances Goodman, Medusa, 2013-2014. Courtesy of Richard Taittinger Gallery, New York

TEG: Since I started in 2013, there is certainly a greater representation of African and African Diasporan artists in international exhibitions, art fairs in Europe, and the U.S. Every edition of 1:54, with the application process, we have new galleries applying from different corners of the continent—such as Addis Fine Art in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, or Gallery 1957 in Accra, Ghana—that are starting their journey. We are definitely on the right path during the exhibition. Of course, I’m very excited to see how the piece evolves.

IAN GRIFFITHS Max Mara Creative Director of The Whitney Bag By Katy Donoghue

To celebrate the first year of the Whitney Museum of American Art at its new downtown location, Max Mara has created an Anniversary Edition of The Whitney Bag, limited to just 400. As a partner of the museum, Max Mara released The Whitney Bag first in 2015, created in collaboration with the Renzo Piano Building Workshop, part of the firm responsible for designing the new High Line site. The Anniversary Edition will have the same bones as the original, and be rendered in taupe and pear, using a well-known portrait of museum founder Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney in a bespoke Bakst costume as the point of inspiration. We spoke with Max Mara Creative Director Ian Griffiths about the bag decorated with imposed flowers, in stores mid-May.

IG: Max Mara dresses strong, successful women, so in any situation, we look for iconic women as inspiration. There aren't many more inspiring than Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney. The bag is inspired by the museum and we wanted to reconnect it to the woman who founded it. Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney was a pioneer who defied stuffy bourgeois convention. The costume designed for her by Leon Bakst represents her absolute modernity and her radical individuality. Just compare her look to the standard fashions of the time— in the simplest terms, women were just not supposed to wear pants in 1914. WW: That image was depicted by artists like John Singer Sargent in a drawing, a photograph by Baron Adolph de Meyer, and a painting Robert Winthop Chanler. Was the connection of this image through the eyes of other artists important to you? IG: The attention of these artists and designers confirms the image's complete encapsulation of the spirit of the age, or more accurately, the spirit of the age that was to come. The word “iconic” is banded about a great deal, but this image truly merits the description. We took the distinctive motifs that Bakst used in the outfit—the tropical flower and leaf. We applied them to the bag design using a relief technique so that they sit between the characteristic ribs of the bag. We were excited by this dynamic created between the strong structure of the bag and the exotic ornamentation. Courtesy of Max Mara

WHITEWALLER: Could you share with us the process of creating the first Whitney Bag with the Renzo Piano Building Workshop? IAN GRIFFITHS: Our design team and the Renzo Piano Building Workshop agreed that the bag should echo the physical structure of the building, the principal element being the ribbed shell that wraps around it. We developed entirely new techniques to reproduce this on the bag by combining traditional Tuscan craft techniques and laser technology. The vision was the same on both sides and the design process was very linear—no going back to the drawing board. WW: How did you come to use the portrait of Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney as the point of inspiration for the Anniversary Edition? Why did you choose the specific image of her in a custom Bakst costume for the Ballets Russes?

The two elements are unified by the very refined pearl shade that we used—inspired by the necklace Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney wears in the portrait by Baron de Meyer. WW: As a designer, what have been some of the highlights for you in Max Mara's ongoing partnership with The Whitney?

IG: Contemporary art holds a mirror to the world. Take, for example, The Whitney Museum's inaugural exhibition “America is Hard to See.” We are dressing women to live in the world that contemporary art is describing to us—hence the ever-closer relationship between the two. On a personal level, I think the most exciting moment was one Sunday when we shot our collection in the museum maybe a month before it opened. Donna De Salvo's team was in the process of hanging that exhibition. It was like seeing history made.

MICHAEL PLUMMER Co-Director of Spring Masters By Charlotte Boutboul

Michael Plummer, Artvest Co- Founder and Spring Masters Co- Director, shared with Whitewaller his future plans regarding Spring Masters New York art fair—held from May 6-9 —while demonstrating how an expertise in financial art advising and auction sales can be significantly beneficial to an international fair. WHITEWALLER: What motivated you and Jeff Rabin—as you were both previously heading the financial services departments at Christie’s—to acquire Spring Masters back in 2013? MICHAEL PLUMMER: At some point, it became apparent to us that art fairs were becoming much more than an occasional source of business for dealers, but absolutely critical to their future success. Indeed, collectors were less and less visiting galleries and focusing more on what we refer to as event buying— that is auctions and art fairs. Thus, we began looking for an appropriate art fair opportunity approximately four years ago, even before what was then known as the Spring Show NYC, quite literally fell into our lap. WW: What role do you see Spring Masters playing in the spring New York art fair calendar? MP: Quite a critical one. While Frieze New York serves the emerging contemporary market over on Randall’s Island, a fair was needed at the Park Avenue Armory during this period to service the secondary market—also convenient to the events going on here in Manhattan. Many collectors use to split the choice of their spring visits to New York between March and May. In the last number of years, however, the center of gravity has tipped. The beginning of May has come to be a time when collectors are coming to New York from around the globe for the Sotheby’s and Christie’s evening auctions, collectors who not only buy contemporary art, but also that from earlier periods. Conveniently located between the two auction houses, Spring Masters has become a critical destination during this active week. WW: What do you feel are the specific advantages of your financial expertise for the fair?

MP: We understand that exhibitors come to the fair to not only sell their art, but to reach new collectors and broaden their brand recognition, ultimately to grow their businesses and client base. And this has resonated with a number of

Michael Plummer and Jeff Rabin, co-directors of Spring Masters and co-founders of Artvest Courtesy of Spring Masters

them. Many have told us we do not approach the fair like a typical fair producer, but with thinking that is more aligned with their own. WW: Is the very interdisciplinary nature of Spring Masters something you view as an advantage? MP: Just because it is often convenient in promoting a fair to focus on only one sector, it does not mean that this is what collectors actually do. The auction houses know this, as they see many of their most sophisticated and active clients buying in multiple fields. TEFAF Maastricht is the best example of a highly successful fair that spans nearly the entire span of art history, and this expanse and variety—along with its high quality—is one of its principal attraction. WW: This May will be the last edition of Spring Masters New York. Artvest will be joining forces with TEFAF Maastricht to create two fairs at the Park Avenue Armory. Can you tell us more about your plans for this new venture?

MP: After launching Spring Masters, Jeff and I wanted to raise the bar even higher for our next venture, and it has now been over a year in discussion and planning. We will be transforming the Park Avenue Armory with a Tom Postman design, who also designs TEFAF Maastricht, using both the first and second floor of the Armory. To meet the demand of the exhibitors wanting to participate, we have split it into two events: TEFAF | New York | Fall, which will focus on ancient art up through the early 20th Century, and TEFAF | New York | Spring, which will be held on the same dates as Spring Masters and will focus on art from impressionism up through contemporary. WW: You've said that 2016 was going to be known as the year of "selectivity" in the art world given larger global economic and

political dynamics. Could you explain the nature of these changes? MP: 2015 and 2016 are years with a weaker global economy (excluding the U.S.) and greater political instability. During such periods, collectors tend to become more selective and cautious. This does not in any way mean that they will stop buying art, but rather that they have become more demanding of quality and value, and much less likely to overpay, whether privately or at auction, or buy on impulse. It is a period when a high level of experience on the behalf of the collector, advisor and the dealer come more into play. It is not a time for speculation or following word-Â of-Âmouth trends on the next hot new thing. It is a time, however, for seasoned collectors to fill out gaps in their collections.

NENDO Designs "Collective Influence" Installation By Katy Donoghue

Each year, Collective Design, held from May 4-8 at Skylight Clarkson Square in New York, honors a living designer or studio, showcasing the work that has made a lasting impact on the design world. This year, the fair named the Tokyo-based firm nendo, founded in 2002 and known for works like Cabbage Chair (2008) and Scatter Shelf (2011), for its “Collective Influence” exhibition. We spoke with the Japanese design brand on what we can expect from the immersive installation they are creating.

WHITEWALLER: What is the brief Collective Design gave you for the “Collective Influence 2016” installation, and how did you respond to it? NENDO: We were asked to design not only the exhibition area but also the entrance space of Collective Design, so we came up with the design idea for both, showcasing our new collection and a way to welcome guests inside. WW: Are there points of consideration for you when creating a design installation within a fair setting? N: We think it is important to make guests visiting the fair feel comfortable. Collective Design is not just our work, but showcases work by designers from a range of galleries. So, we wanted to do something that would support everyone by our design.

WW: The concept behind nendo is to create "!" moments, felt intuitively.

How does the immersive installation you've come up with for this exhibition create that "!" moment? N: There are so many “!” moments hidden in our everyday life, that we feel unconsciously but we don’t recognize. In other words, we think it is very important when we design, to transmit something that is very uncommon. WW: You’ll be exploring, in a new way, the interplay of lighting and objects. How so? N: Within the space where we live, there are items that “move.” They are furniture, doors and windows—items that move in relation to our daily activities. Although they may not be visible, we are subconsciously aware of the “traces” of their movements every day. For example, because of that, we do not put a vase in front of a door. It is essential for a person who specializes in space design to be even more aware of this, as they have to portray these “traces” onto drawings. In the same manner, by visualizing such “traces” in space, the various movements of a door attached to a simple cabinet was implied. Other “traces” that were chosen were the “trace” of a hanging light bulb swinging left and right, and the ”trace” of a beam of light that is projected from lighting. A reception counter that indicates the “trace” of a door opening was shown like a frame-by-frame advance feature. Scatter shelf. Photo by Tom Powel. Courtesy of Friedman Benda and Oki Sato/nendo inc.

A new relationship between items and human beings is being pursued through the visualization of the numerous “traces” that we feel within our everyday lives. WW: This is your first U.S. exhibition since showing Scatter Shelf in 2011 at Friedman Benda. Are you excited about showing again in New York?

Cabbage chair. Courtesy of Friedman Benda and Oki Sato/nendo inc.

N: Yes, we are really excited. We were talking with Marc [Benda] right after we finished our exhibition in 2011 for the next conception, and we’re so glad it became possible at last. After this, we are going to present “50 manga chairs”—continuing from Milan Design Week, this September. We’re excited to show them in New York. We showed Cabbage Chair in 2009 at Friedman Benda gallery and it made us get to where we are now. In other words, New York is the starting point of nendo and we cannot but feel at home.

GEORGES BERGÈS PRESENTS “IN MOTION” The Modern Day Art Patron Presents his New Protégée By Charlotte Boutboul

Whitewaller spoke to Georges Bergès about his unusual gallery derived from the model of patronage, and how he met his new protégée, Emma McGuire, most unconventionally through the Duke of Devonshire. Both gentlemen will be presenting “In Motion” on May 3, with new works by the young female British artist. WHITEWALLER: Can you tell me a bit about how Georges Bergès Gallery operates differently from other galleries? GEORGES BERGÈS: Initially, I was an art dealer. I never really wanted to open a gallery in the traditional sense because it was an antiquated model. I mean, galleries are outmoded after World War I, and it hasn’t changed despite the fact that the buying experience has completely been transformed since then. But after talking to people I worked with in the art world, I said, “You know what, I’ll open a gallery, but based on Leo Castelli’s model.” This is one of the reasons I picked SoHo as a location. What makes me different is that I’m really invested in my artists, very much like a gallery would be in the '70s and '80s, I think—and less so today. I have few artists, and I work with them intimately to develop their work in time, and bring them to what I believe is the next level. Many galleries treat artists as if they are inventory. I always tell my collectors I don’t sell inventory, I sell my artists, and I think that’s really what separates my gallery. WW: How do you pick your artists? GB: I get 70 submissions a week from artists around the world. I obviously can’t see them all, but strangely, the ones that I tend to pick are the ones that I meet while I’m on a trip overseas. When you’re getting something on the Internet, although it’s great, it’s still a very one-sided conversation. It happens very organically with me. I travel the world, go to art fairs, visit my collectors in China, Dubai, or Mexico City. I always go to the art districts of these cities and pick artists that I personally like. I’m really developing a relationship with the artists and their process, so it’s important that the artist is someone that I can develop a close connection with. It’s a very holistic approach that I take.

WW: Your next exhibition will be with the young British artist Emma McGuire. Can you tell me a little about the context in which you encountered her and her work? GB: About a year ago, I had the Duke of Devonshire’s representative come to me and ask if I would consider working with them on McGuire. And when the Duke asks for something, I’m going to obviously pause and look. [laughs.] But I was very skeptical to be honest, because rarely do I actually represent a work of an artist that a friend or somebody recommended. But I went and looked, and I loved her work. The pieces I initially saw were her lithographs on cage fighters, which were amazing. You know, if someone had mentioned to me that she’s doing lithographs with cage fighters, I would have replied, “Well, it’s not really my thing.” But when I looked at them, they were beautiful—like Greek statues— figures from antiquity in tough black and white lithographs of men wrestling. It was a great piece of art, so I said I would meet her. I flew to London, got to meet at her studio, and she walked me through her process—not just lithographs, but sculptures and other works. We developed a very good relationship and ended up spending a week at Chatsworth House, which is the Duke’s Estates. There is a certain romance to the art world. I think when you lose sight of that, then it just becomes another business with a bunch of transactions, looking at everything as a commodity for its exchange value. If you’re going to be doing that, you might as well just sell cars, go into commodity trading. I’m sure you’d make much more money.

THE NEW LUXURY REAL ESTATE MARKET Luxury New York Real Estate Reaches New Heights By Charlotte Boutboul

New York, the city fearless of change, provides architects with the ultimate creative playground. New projects are abundantly burgeoning within the five boroughs. Some reach high, adding to the city’s skyline, while others are more modest in height, yet greatly ambitious in their attempts to reconcile an historic feel with innovative ease. All, however, promise to gradually and deeply alter the dynamics interlacing the city. For example, many projects on the Lower East Side are gentrifying the area into a prior Chelsea, the Victorian buildings of the West Village are being supplemented by contemporary low rises, The Bowery seems to be increasingly merging with NoLIta and SoHo, and all the while, Midtown is turning residential. Here are some of the projects we selected to illustrate this sporadic changing potential.

CAST IRON HOUSE DESIGNED BY SHIGERU BAN The TriBeCa six-story building owes its appellation to its 19th century cast iron architecture. The façade’s intricate historic ornaments have been cautiously preserved and enhanced by Pritzker Architecture Prize recipient Shigeru Ban, who adapted the interiors by increasing volumes for more spacious living, notably creating two steel penthouses. The Tokyo-based architect has managed to form a balance between the preciously old and the functionally new. Amenities include a spa, fitness center, courtyard, children’s playroom, and more.

152 ELIZABETH STREET DESIGNED BY TADAO ANDO Japanese architect Tadao Ando will inaugurate his first New York building in Manhattan’s lively NoLIta neighborhood at 152 Elizabeth Street. The seven-floor luxury condominium neighbors The New Museum, yet remains at a safe distance from the hectic SoHo neighborhood. The building will incorporate Ando’s signature materials: poured-in-place concrete, burnished metal, voluminous glass, and one of the largest living green walls in the city, which is 55-feethigh and 99-feet-wide. Other special features will include a floor-to-ceiling water wall in the lobby, complemented with an interactive light installation. Once again, Ando is proving that he is an expert in the art of balancing nature’s harmonizing functions with that of the bitumen’s pure character. Michael Gabellini of Gabellini Sheppard Associates will be collaborating on the interiors design.

10 BOND STREET DESIGNED BY ANNABELLE SELLDORF Designed by Selldorf Architects, and winning praise from the city’s Landmark Preservation Commission, the bronze-colored property is set to become an example of contemporary good taste on the architecturally-pleasing Bond Street. The building is a thoughtfully composed interplay of terra cotta, weathered steel, wood, and glass. The 11 exclusive residences are a mix of two- and threebedrooms, including a three-bedroom townhouse with a private garden terrace, high ceilings, and a three-bedroom penthouse with distinct landscaped terraces. All residencies have direct elevator access. Amenities include a fitness center overlooking a sunken garden, bike storage, residential storage units, and a full-time concierge.

215 CHRYSTIE STREET DEVELOPED BY IAN SCHRAGER For 215 Chrystie Street, hotelier developer Ian Schrager collaborated with Herzog & de Meuron and John Pawson for interiors—the same international team responsible for 40 Bond Street and Schrager’s own personal penthouse. The Lower East Side’s 28-story building will house a 370-room hotel, topped by 11 one-of-a-kind residences. “215 Chrystie is the ultimate expression of Uptown meets Downtown. It is both tough and refined at the same time. I’d like to think of it as ‘refined gritty’ or ‘tough luxe,’” said Schrager. (212) 466-0215 215 Chrystie Street, New York, NY 10002

160 LEROY STREET

Overlooking the Hudson River in the soughtafter West Village neighborhood, the project reunites, once again, Schrager with Herzog & de Meuron. The building pays homage to the free-flowing, sensual, and curvaceous designs characteristic of the great Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer. The 49 one-of-akind apartments will feature expansive views (212) 760-0160 160 Leroy Street, New York, NY 10014

of the Freedom Tower, the Hudson River, north toward the George Washington Bridge, and city views facing east. The entryway will lead to a lush private landscaped courtyard and immersive pastoral garden designed by Madison Cox. Amenities will include a private 70-foot pool, a spa, and a gourmet take-out and delivery restaurant amongst others.

JARDIM DESIGNED BY ISAY WEINFELD

At the edge of Chelsea’s Highline Park, Brazilian architect Isay Weinfeld is designing his first New York building, Jardim. One of the project’s signature features is a series of landscaped gardens throughout many spaces. Weinfeld made it a priority to provide as many lush private outdoor spaces as possible in the 11-story project to favor a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. A full suite of amenities, such as an indoor swimming pool, fitness center, and massage room will be included. (212) 350-8575 525 West 27th Street, New York, NY 10001

100 EAST 53RD STREET DEVELOPED BY ABY ROSEN

Aby Rosen’s 100 East 53rd Street, designed with the British firm Foster + Partners, in collaboration with architect William T. Georgis, will mark the start of high-end residential living in Midtown Manhattan. Located beside Rosen’s Seagram Building, the 63-story tower's slender form and minimalist exterior is intended to provide a counterpoint to the Seagram’s bronze

edifice. The 94 residencies will feature large floor-to-ceiling windows with mostly light tech wood and marble concrete raw material. The building will offer a private pool, spa, gym, and library, along with other public amenities, such as a food hall and a three-star restaurant.

#HappyHour "The Carlyle Hotel is excellent for drinks, and I recommend Il Buco for the best kale salad, and wonderful atmosphere. It’s like going to a restaurant in Rome, but in New York. Once inside, enjoy its rustic setting, with old wooden tables, and copper pots hanging from the ceiling. Mozzarella & Vino, a small Italian eatery, for their three-b ean soup. Sant Ambroeus in the West Village—stop in to see their outstanding ceramic plate wall, and for the best hot chocolate. It’s a fashionable place for lunch, transported to Milan in its atmosphere. See Steve McQueen having lunch with Naomi Campbell, or Taylor Swift grabbing a bite." #BestInNewYork "I love DeLorenzo Gallery on Madison Avenue. You see the best of art deco furniture, designs by Rhulman and Armand Rateau, as well as first-rate Tiffany lamps, and other contemporary designs. Style is at its most incredible best—especially the beautiful collection of furniture. On the other hand, the Manolo Blahnik shoe store on West 54th, designed by George Malkemus III, and its huge ceramics by Peter Schlesinger. Blaniks shoes are like artworks for the feet and they are displayed in a bold original setting." #TopArtSpot "The Metropolitan Museum of Art, it’s always a place of great wonder and beauty. The great portrait of Madame X by John Singer Sargent is one of the great paintings. The classical antiquities are first-rate on the main floor." #MyNewYorkTreat "The observation tower of One World Trade Center. It’s awesome—the breathtaking views, as well as the memorial to 9/11—and sobering to balance the great electrical vibe of New York City."

#HappyHour "First and foremost, Sant Ambroeus, of course. I cannot have coffee anywhere else in the city! Then, Jack’s Wife Freda to visit my friends Dean and Maya for a quick bite. And here are my new finds: Mimi, a cute French restaurant on Sullivan Street; Uncle Boons for the best Thai food; and Babu JI, a gem of an Indian restaurant in the East Village." #BestInNewYork "I always love being a tourist in my own city. The Brooklyn Bridge always does it for me, as well as a stroll in Central Park with my kids. It reminds me of how lucky I am to live in this city. Not to mention The Met, the MoMA, the Guggenheim, and The Whitney Museum." #TopArtSpot "I highly suggest a visit at Invisible Dog, an artist residency in Brooklyn created by the amazing Lucien Zayan. It is the home to some of my favorite artists, including Prune Nourry and Oliver Jeffers." #MyNewYorkTreat "Aux Merveilleux de Fred in the West Village, a famous pastry shop that recently opened, and the spa at The Greenwich Hotel!"

I buy all of my Burning Man bling in this hood!" #SundayRoutine "Sunday is the day I turn everything OFF! My children, Cuatro and Lux, and my husband, Leo, get all of my attention. At most, I will do yoga or take a long walk, and at the end of the day we have an early family dinner at Houseman or Balthazar, and return home to watch 60 Minutes together. I love Sundays!" #FairFirstTimers “My first art fair was in 1994, and ever since, I’ve had the same routine. Drink a strong coffee and wear the tallest, most comfortable shoes I own. Look professional, yet glam. Get in early, and get a map. Decide your path. Take notes on your favorite artists next to their gallery. Leave the fair having discovered at least three inspiring artists you did not know before. Art fairs are like libraries for browsing and going more in-depth.”

#InspoSpot “The place that most inspires me has been five years in the making. Produced by Art Production Fund and the Nevada Museum of Art, Seven Magic Mountains by Ugo Rondinone is an outdoor work made up of seven 30-to-35-foot-tall colored boulders adjacent to Interstate 15 between Las Vegas and Los Angeles. It builds upon an important art historical western tradition, while expanding land art into the 21st century. An estimated 16 million people will see it over its two years, making this one of the most important international public art projects ever made.”

#BestKeptSecret "Frankel's in Greenpoint, which just opened. I doubt it's still a secret, but Zach and Alex Frankel are great guys that are bringing back the great Jewish Deli." #SundayRoutine "Get up at 7:30 a.m. and go to the studio and paint six to eight hours. Then, go visit some Lower East Side galleries. I'm quite fond of a new gallery called Shrine, recently opened by my friend Scott Ogden." #FairFirstTimers "Take the boat." #InspoSpot "Rockaway Beach and Pilgrim Surf + Supply in Williamsburg, Brooklyn."

Depends on how hungover I am, but I either do nothing in the afternoon, or try to see some exhibitions. At night, I realize how much work I actually have, and stay up to finish it." #FairFirstTimers "My advice is to try and see the fair in one day.

Once again, Frieze New York is springing upon us with a 2016 edition that marks Frieze's 25th anniversary. The globally awaited event, now run by Victoria Siddall, is to take place on Randall’s Island with its traditional key programs: Frieze Projects, Frieze Sounds, Frieze Talks, and Frieze Education—and of course, Roberta’s Pizza as a fare option. A chief change to be expected, however, is the rescheduling of the fair before auction week instead of the customary unraveling during the sales' proceedings—an impactful alteration for art advisors and collectors alike who will have to adapt to a more spread-out art season, for better or worse... The fifth edition on Randall’s Island is to take place from May 5–8, hosting more than 200 international galleries and bringing together a thrilling combination of worldwide emerging and established contemporary artists. For the Frieze Projects’

section, curator Cecilia Alemani from High Line Art is paying homage to New York's Daniel Newburg Gallery—the '80s and early '90s downtown institution known for bringing legendary European artists to the United States. Maurizio Cattelan, the last artist to show in the SoHo space before it shuttered in 1994, will create what Alemani announced to be "something quite irreverent." Other projects will include works curated by Clara M. Kim (Tate Modern, London), Jacob Proctor (Neubauer Collegium for Culture and Society, University of Chicago), and Fabian Schöneich (Portikus, Frankfurt). Also, Tom Eccles (Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College, New York) will curate sections dedicated to innovative solo shows and a program of ambitious artist commissions and talks. Unrivalled in curated content, Frieze New York promises an immersive cultural experience alongside the East River.

Highlights of the Focus section and its thorough selection of 32 post-2004 galleries will include: Clearing (Brooklyn) showing new sculptures by Marina Pinsky, alongside seminal work by Eduardo Paolozzi; Gallery Isabelle van den Eynde (Dubai) with an installation by Dubai-b ased collective Ramin and Rokni Haerizadeh and Hesam Rahmanian; Kraupa- Tuskany Zeidler (Berlin) showing Andrea Crespo, GCC, and Daniel Keller; Martos (New York) surveying the pioneering work of Michel Auder; and Supportico Lopez (Berlin) presenting Athena Papadopoulos and Giulio Delvè. Other important highpoints will comprise P.P.O.W.'s booth dedicated to David Wojnarowicz in advance of his upcoming retrospective at the Whitney Museum of American Art, as well as Rome's Galleria Lorcan O'Neill, who brings together Tracey Emin, Celia Hempton, Hanna Liden, and Rachel Whiteread to explore notions of intimacy and privacy.

The inaugural edition of CONTEXT New York will not take place on the beach like its Miami edition, but at Pier 94 on the Hudson River. Filling the Armoryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shoes comfortably, the fair, together with Art New York, will take place May 3-8. Both fairs will be kicking off during Art Week with their VIP preview at 2 p.m. on May 3, well before Frieze's opening. Newcomer CONTEXT New York has set a highly ambitious task for itself: providing avid collectors with a leading alternative fair to acquire important works of contemporary art. It will be interesting to see if the first New York City edition will live up to that expectation. Like its hugely successful sister fair, CONTEXT Art Miami, which launched during Miami Art

Week in 2012, CONTEXT New York takes pride in providing an open atmosphere, encouraging meaningful dialogue between collectors, participating galleries, and artists. As its director Julian Navarro likes to point out, the fair's platform is designed to target both old-timers and unseasoned collectors by providing works by mid-career, emergent, and cutting-edge talent. The fair's selection includes 63 emerging and established galleries in participation, allowing them to make a mark during one of the most important contemporary art weeks worldwide.

Running quite literally parallel to CONTEXT New York, Art New York 2016—also presented by Art Miami—will be making its acclaimed return to Pier 94, after attracting 19,500 visitors last year. The fair won’t be deviating from its hybrid approach of providing selections of new and established works, boldly combining primary and secondary markets. The fair seems keen on satisfying the curious art collector looking for a well-curated presentation of what’s best in the market, while giving a chance to the unsuspected underdog. The dual setup, however, is not one of competition, but rather one of commercial collaboration since CONTEXT New York and Art New York have similar selection approaches and targets. The fairs will moreover extend their VIP preview to Frieze VIP cardholders and provide courtesy shuttle service to Pier 94 from the Frieze Ferry Terminal on 35th Street, the Chelsea arts district, and select auction houses.

For its third edition, international art and design fair, Spring Masters, is investing in the space of the Park Avenue Armory building with its hexagonal exhibition layout. From May 6-9, the fair will feature over 50 prominent dealers of fine art, design, furniture, and jewelry within its distinctive layout by Rafael Viñoly, which has been known for fostering compelling dialogues between periods. This interstellar interaction is critical to the fair’s essence since gallery installations are curated regardless of art period to fit within a wider aesthetic lens of 21st century cross-c ollecting. Since its first edition in May 2014, Spring Masters has established itself on the art world calendar for providing an elevated focus on connoisseurship, enhancing New York’s art week with a timeless interdisciplinary feel. Highlights will include exceptional works, from antique and modern tapestries presented by Vojtech Blau to 17th and 18th century white marble busts showcased by Tomasso Brothers. Osborne Samuel will present an abstract bronze composition by renowned

sculptor Lynn Chadwick, while Galerie Lefebvre’s booth will highlight works by Jean Dunand, Bernard Boutet de Monvel, Jean Pascaud, and others. The booth of Bernard Goldberg Fine Arts will be dedicated exclusively to lifetime casts by Gaston Lachaise. New exhibitors include Yufuku Gallery, Sladmore, and Sundaram Tagore. Exhibitors in the 2016 edition of Spring Masters will be greatly incentivized to mount their best exhibitions in anticipation of Spring Master’s merger with TEFAF | Maastricht and a possible participation in TEFAF | New York. Michael Plummer and Jeff Rabin’s directing ingenuity has attracted the interest of TEFAF | Maastricht, the world's top fair of art, antiques and design presented annually in Maastricht, Netherlands. This important transition will result in two new fairs to be presented annually instead of one: TEFAF New York’s fall edition will premiere in October 2016 and focus on art from antiquity through the mid-20th century, and TEFAF | New York spring edition will premiere in May 2017 with an emphasis on modern and contemporary art.

The New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) is honoring its fifth edition of NADA New York in full swing with 105 exhibitors from 44 cities and 18 different countries, including 51 firsttime exhibitors, amounting to nearly half of the exhibitors and 28 project spaces. NADA director Heather Hubbs announced that the 2016 session would be the most international edition yet. First-time exhibitors include Maki Fine Arts and Arredondo Arozarena (Mexico City), Kayne Griffin Corcoran (Los Angeles), Páramo (Guadalajara), Stems Gallery (Brussels), and many more. A highlight in project spaces include Water McBeer—a diorama-sized gallery that shows tiny versions of existing artworks by various artists. Often dubbed the “cool kids fair”, NADA remains an essential component to the city’s art week. By honoring first and foremost new bold voices, the fair provides the ideal platform for emerging art with an adaptable non-profit model that revitalizes the art fair experience for all. The fair is still taking place in its distinctive location at Pier 36’s Basketball City by the East River on the Lower East Side, and is open from May 5-8 .

Following Art Week, the great design event will take place May 13-16 at the landmark Terminal Stores building on 11th Avenue in West Chelsea. This pleasing setting offers participants and visitors a dynamic experience that serves as a popular meeting point for designers, manufacturers, buyers, distributors , craf tsmen, students , design

institutions, the press, and all design lovers. Since its debut in 2011, WantedDesign has stood out for its broad- mindedness lack of arrogance, allowing NYCxDESIGN to gradually become a hub for conversations, a gathering of international actors, and a community. Altogether, brands, designers, editors, museums and schools come together for a celebration of the design ethos. Founders Odile Hainaut and Claire Pijoulat will hopefully continue to fulfill the great ambition of building a distinguished design destination where business, innovation, and culture collides, creating a tradeshow reflective of the city’s unique creative vibe.

Last year marked WantedDesign Brooklyn’s first edition, and it introduced the fair’s second location at Industry City in Sunset Park. This recent expansion reflects the growing importance of Brooklyn as a hub for multidisciplinary creative thinkers and makers, suggesting that perhaps the borough shouldn’t be disregarded from the global art fair calendar. This year’s second edition has many highlights worth mentioning. Outside the Box 4.0, a collaboration between the fair and the Toronto Design Offsite Festival, is bringing individual visions from six U.S. cities and five Canadian cities. Additionally, Pascal Yonet, a proponent of Rural Art that hosts

residencies in his center located in the forest of Meuse, France (Vent des Forêt), will present the collection “We trust in wood." In a related but different vein, artist Paul Clemence will showcase the installation “Red Overture” in which artisanal wood and photography come together to create a floating “island.” Based off of a photo Clemence took of the famous red pool above the Hotel Unique in São Paulo, the exhibition is made up of irregular geometry. The piece is a preamble to another upcoming installation, “Red Interlude,” which will be presented at the next Venice Architecture Biennale. WantedDesign Brooklyn will take place May 7-17.

From May 4- 8 , prized West SoHo venue Skylight Clarkson Square will host the sixth edition of Collective Design, a participant fair of NYCxDESIGN, under the direction of architect Steven Learner. This year, works from more than 30 international galleries will be showcased, while special attention will be given to the prolific Japanese firm nendo, led by its principal designer Oki Sato. The fair will also introduce Collective Concept—a capsule presentation within the fair where contemporary designers working in lighting, furnishings, ceramics, or textiles are encouraged to explore new directions and reconnect with the roots of their individual design thinking. Given the 2015 success of

Sight Unseen OFFSITE, the fair has invited it to return this year with a partnership with Designtex. The collaboration will spotlight ambitious new work by five independent American design studios on the rise: Chris Wolston, Only Love is Real, Fort Makers, Bower, and Studio Proba. The Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, The Museum of Arts and Design, and the New Museum will be participating as cultural partners, underscoring the fair's influence in the city's design culture, while Vitra and Artek will be partaking as sponsors, contributing furniture to the cafés and VIP lounges installed in the historic horizontal skyscraper.

How does technology affect the dexterity of the hand? Does it extend it, or inhibit it? This query is particularly relevant to our current era, where the interplay between tech devices and human touch is becoming increasingly interwoven. However, in the realm of fashion, this interrogation has resonated as early as the 19th century with the arrival of the sewing machine announcing the onset of mass production, ensuing problematic distinction between haute couture and ready- to-wear. The Costume Institute's spring 2016 exhibition “Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology” addresses this complex relationship and asks whether the craftsmanship inherent to haute couture is reconcilable with machine-made experimental ready-to-wear. This ambitious exploration will take place through more than 150 ensembles dating from the early 20th century to now, and will include designs by Coco Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, Iris Van Herpen, Issey Miyake, and Karl Lagerfeld. It will examine different assembling processes, such as traditional embroidery, feather work, innovative 3-D printing, and ultrasonic welding.

It includes masterpieces by Leonardo Da Vinci, Edvard Munch, Gustav Klimt, Paul Cézanne, Pablo Picasso, Jackson Pollock, Andy Warhol, Cy Twombly, and countless more. The show's impressive selection announces the groundbreaking results achievable when The Met decides to commit to modern and contemporary works within a deep historical context.

NASREEN MOHAMEDI MARCH 18 - JUNE 5

For its inauguration, the Met Breuer chose to celebrate Nasreen Mohamedi, one of the most important female artists to emerge in post- independence India. This first U.S, retrospective of the artist’s work examines Mohamedi’s unexpected commitment to abstraction, and calls on us to expand our understanding of graphic minimalism in a transnational context.

FEBRUARY 14 - MAY 15

The MoMA Broodthaers’ retrospective meticulously follows the multifaceted evolution of the Belgian avant-garde artist starting with his early poetry, which he later converted into sculptural pieces and experimental installations using sound, image, film, and mussels. Throughout this chronological succession, one grasps Broodthaers’ desire to project words onto space, and his endorsed role of manipulator of context, which positioned him as a pioneer of installation art.

EDGAR DEGAS: STRANGE NEW BEAUTY MARCH 26 - JULY 24

Degas, the chronicling master of 20th century ballet, is best known for his academic paintings. Through the medium of printmaking, one can discover his more radical nature with visible mark- makings that include wiping, scraping, scratching, fingerprinting, and rendering by removal. In “Edgar Degas: A Strange New Beauty,” MoMA is organizing the first overview of the artist’s monographs with a vast selection of 120 monotypes supplemented by some 60 related works—paintings, drawings, pastels, sketchbooks, and prints—that all engage with modern life scenes and subjects like intimate baths, landscapes, brothels, ballet dancers, and café singers.

“Projects 103” at MoMA PS1 is presenting a site- specific sculpture by the Berlin- based Georgian artist Thea Djordjadze. The large- scale sculptural installation, made especially for the museum’s ground floor duplex gallery, is inspired by a 12th century pharmacy located in the cave city of Vardzia, Georgia, which was pictured in a poster that hung in the artist’s childhood bedroom. Drawing from architecture and functional design, Djordjadze creates sculptural environments that forefront the legacy of modernism while evoking folk traditions of the Caucasus region of the Republic of Georgia.

Drawn entirely from the Museum’s holdings, “Human Interest: Portraits from the Whitney’s Collection” offers new perspectives on portraiture—one of art’s oldest genres. The 100 works on display demonstrate the extensive mutability experienced by the genre since the late 1950s by juxtaposing iconic works like those of Andy Warhol or Cindy Sherman with more recent acquisitions. The exhibition creates dialogues between past and present, exploring how the simple function of portraiture, and representing individuals, varies dramatically in different contexts.

For the Whitney’s Open Plan room, Steve McQueen, the visual artist and Oscar- awarded filmmaker, is showing a newly expanded version of his work End Credits, which presents documents from the FBI file kept on the legendary African- American performer and activist Paul Robeson.

LUC TUYMANS: LE MÉPRIS MAY 5 - JUNE 25

Belgian artist Luc Tuymans is emblematic of a generation of artists that challenge the spreading notion that painting as a medium has become inept to reflect the assault of images and cultural boiling of today’s post-modern society. The title of David Zwirner’s 13th solo presentation of Tuymans is taken from Jean Luc Godard’s eponymous Le Mépris. As with the 1963 New Wave cinematic masterpiece, the show captures themes of isolation, melancholy, degradation, and nostalgia with an approach typical of Tuymans’ constant desire to reinterpret contemporary media through painting.

SIGMAR POLKE: EINE WINTERREISE

MAY 7 - JUNE 25

Following its announced representation of the artist’s estate, David Zwirner is organizing its first exhibition dedicated to Sigmar Polke in its Chelsea locale. Curated by Vicente Todolí, the exhibition will range from Polke’s 1960s mass-produced tourist scenery to his 1980s compositionally layered paintings that offer complex reinterpretations of travel-related themes, romantic notions of the sublime, and hallucinatory imagery—thereby addressing both outward, physical travel and inner/mental, intellectual journeys.

This inaugural show unveils a brand new series of 10 large-scale pieces that stretch out both vertically and horizontally. Bernar Venet’s featured angle works define the spaces in which they are positioned in, and are complemented by smaller sculptural maquettes to offer the viewer insight into the conceptual artist’s thought process. The acute angles are assembled in a way that emphasize the repeating evolution of an angle through its opening traction, providing a study of movement reminiscent of Giacomo Balla's La vitesse abstraite, or of Duchamp's Nude Descending a Staircase.

Five new paintings of the groundbreaking Balinese artist will be accompanied by never-beforeexhibited works from 2012-14 in his second solo show. These paintings juggle Western influences, and all of its forms, such as Modern, Pop, and caricature, and fuses them with deeply rooted Indonesian cultural history and contemporary life. The result is something greater than the sum of its parts: the pieces are categorically amorphous, escaping all cultural boundaries. Nyoman Masriadi, Serta Merta, 2013.

These monumental pieces accentuate or alter perceptions of space and proportion, engaging the viewer in movement by centralizing the space in unsuspected ways.

THE SCOOP MATTHEW BAUER President of the Madison Avenue Business Improvement District By Katy Donoghue

Madison Avenue is the backbone of the Upper East Side. The luxury shops, flagship boutiques, celebrated restaurants, fine art galleries, and museums have long been a draw for New Yorkers and tourists. Spring time is one of the best seasons for the neighborhood, with its well-kept flowerbeds, proximity to Central Park, and fine dining al fresco. With the newly opened Met Breuer and renovated storefronts on the way, we checked in with the President of the Madison Avenue Business Improvement District (BID) about the galleries, restaurants, and shops to watch. WHITEWALLER: You joined Madison Avenue BID in 1999. What have been some of the biggest changes or developments in the neighborhood over the past 17 years?

MATTHEW BAUER: There have been three major trends that have permeated Madison Avenue since 1999. First, it has become the destination of choice for international fashion and jewelry brands wishing to establish their flagship boutiques in a location where New Yorkers themselves want to shop, and which values both privacy and service. Second, Madison Avenue has become a highly valued residential address, where new apartments have been developed above our boutiques and galleries, creating even more synergies between Madison Avenue’s shops and residents. Finally, Madison Avenue has strengthened its resolve for maintaining its architectural heritage, its calmer lifestyle and its balance between international retail brands and independent shops, restaurants, and galleries. WW: What role do art galleries play on Madison Avenue? What about public art? MB: Long before Madison Avenue was known for as a destination for high fashion, Madison Avenue was a center of New York City’s art gallery scene. The over 100 galleries of Madison Avenue feature works from both the primary and secondary markets, and can be found in former mansions on the side streets immediately surrounding Madison Avenue, on the upper levels of Madison Avenue townhouses, and in gallery- focused office buildings, including 595 and 980 Madison Avenue, and thanks to the recently opened Dominique Lévy Gallery and Galerie Perrotin, again AMidst the boutiques on the ground level of Madison Avenue. WW: How has the recent launch of the Met Breuer, in the old Whitney building, affected the neighborhood?

106

MB: The magnificent restoration of Marcel Breuer’s brutalist structure has given our neighborhood the opportunity to look at this iconic building with fresh eyes, and experience the building’s materials and bold form anew. Likewise, as a single entrance fee allows admission to both The Met on Fifth Avenue and The Met Breuer buildings, visitors will have the opportunity to stroll between both buildings on a single trip, and enjoy our neighborhood’s restaurants and shops along the way.

WW: Who are some of the chefs to follow at the restaurants on the avenue?

Photos by Andrew Werner

MB: Many of New York’s most celebrated chefs have established their kitchens on Madison Avenue. Café Boulud was founded by Chef Daniel Boulud, whose French culinary traditions are currently being interpreted by Chef Aaron Bludorn. Chef Jean-G eorges Vongerichten brings his unbridled passion for fresh from the market, simple cooking to The Mark’s restaurant. Chef Philippe Chow’s exquisite Beijing-style cuisine is featured at his eponymous restaurant Philippe. At the recently opened Kappo Masa, chef Masayoshi Takayama has created a contemporary perspective on traditional Japanese ingredients and materials in collaboration with art dealer Larry Gagosian. We are all excited about this summer’s opening of Estela Breuer, the new restaurant by Chef Ignacio Mattos and Thomas Carter at The Met Breuer.

HERMÈS A Men's Boutique & Flagship on Madison Avenue By Eliza Jordan

The legacy of Hermès stands on a commitment to style, quality, and dedication—whether in regard to its boutiques, collections, technological integrations, or innovations. In September 2000, to celebrate over 160 years in existence, Hermès opened its first maison in New York on Madison Avenue. The location, discovered by President & Chief Executive Officer of Hermès of Paris, Robert Chavez, immediately resonated with Hermès’ energy. A decade later in February 2010, Hermés opened another boutique on Madison Avenue, directly across the street, and dedicated entirely to Men’s Universe. “When you walk into this building, you’re pleasantly surprised at the proportions,” said Pierre-Alexis Dumas, Artistic Director for Hermès and sixth generation family member. “The space draws you in right away, thanks to the human scale. It has lovely high ceilings, creating magnificent vertical volumes, while on the other side of Madison, the architecture of the Hermès flagship store is more horizontal.” Neighboring Hermès’ flagship at 691 Madison Avenue, the men’s boutique at 690 Madison Avenue has brought a few unexpected surprises. The 2,450-square-foot store, boasting red brick similar to that of the classic “Rouge H,” offers four vast floors. On the first level, men can enjoy an arrangement of shirts and ties, while the second floor is reserved for leather, sportswear, knitwear, and watches. On the third level, men can browse suits, jackets, and pants, and on the fourth and final level, guests can enjoy the made-tomeasure and special orders departments—a “floor of dreams,” according to Véronique Nichanian, Hermès’ Men’s Artistic Director. The store’s elegant design was carried out by Parisian architecture agency Rena Dumas Architecture Intèriere (RDAI)— founded by Rena Dumas, wife of former Hermès Chairman Jean-Louis Dumas, and Pierre-Alexis Dumas’ mother—with Denis Montel as the Managing and Artistic Director. Since Montel’s joining RDAI in 1999, he has been in charge of artistic direction for all of Hermès’ worldwide locations, appropriately including this one too. The uncluttered space features walls and ceilings paneled in cherry wood, a large mezzanine stretching 20 feet tall, and other similar details from the original Hermès store

at 24 Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris. In addition, Hermès’ series “Vitrine D’Artiste”—an ongoing platform of artist commissions for temporary window designs— has since featured a few outstanding artists to participate. Last year, sticking by Hermès’ annual theme of “Flâneur Forever” for 2015, Brooklyn-based artist Edward Granger used a variety of geometric shapes in a range of colors to create an illusion of vibrations and animated movements. On view from June 11 until the end of August last year, it captured the artisanal craftsmanship of Hermès’ objects. “I view this as being analogous to the constant pulsing energy and vibrant electricity of New York City life, the rhythmic beat of a person’s heart, or harmonics,” said Granger on his approach to the window designs. Last November, Danish artist Nina Saunders presented “Greta’s Party,” showcasing furniture upholstered with Hermès fabrics, transformed to appear as if each were dancing in celebration. On view until early this year, the installation made use of Hermès’ Squeeze print—created by Richard Gorman for fall/winter 2015—and other iconic prints, such as the H Link graphic prints, and natural prints from the late artist Robert Dallet.

Until Hermès’ new windows appear from the chosen “Nature at Full Gallop” theme for 2016, we can catch acclaimed director and artist Robert Wilson’s “Here Elsewhere” installation at Cedar Lake in New York’s Chelsea neighborhood from May 10-12. The original installation consists of live performers and video portraits that will interact with objects from the Hermès Maison Universe. Instead of creating a “dream house,” Robert Wilson creates “a dream of a house.” Wilson’s “Here Elsewhere” balances between materiality and timelessness, rigor and fantasy, much like the historic maison.

AURÉLIE BIDERMANN Owner and Designer of Aurélie Bidermann By Eliza Jordan

After opening her first boutique in September 2012 in Paris, Aurélie Bidermann quickly opened a few other locations, including her first New York location in SoHo in August 2014, and a her recently opened location on Madison Avenue, which opened this past March. We caught up with the jewelry designer to discuss her new neighborhood, its exclusive capsule collection, store design, and overall inspiration. WHITEWALLER: Why did you decide to open a boutique on Madison Avenue? AURÉLIE BIDERMANN: I’ve noticed that the downtown clientele is very different than the uptown, similar to the downtown versus uptown art scenes. The uptown crowd is more

likely to invest in a statement piece that they’ll have forever, whereas with the SoHo crowd, we’ll see someone stop-in and purchase the more playful Copacabana bracelets stacked with other pieces they’ve accumulated over years. With my fine jewelry business growing, I wanted to open a boutique that focuses more on these pieces in a neighborhood where I could envision it thriving. WW: What about this street, this neighborhood, is different than the rest of New York City? AB: I wanted to target a completely different neighborhood than my first boutique in SoHo. It was important to me that the space, itself, preserved the same vibe as my downtown location, while concentrating more heavily on fine jewelry. I couldn’t think of a better spot than the Upper East Side—I love its old-s chool charm. WW: The store has a fine jewelry capsule collection exclusive to the Madison Avenue store, including delicate gold earrings with apples and cats. What else can be found in this collection? AB: I created two capsule collections for the Madison boutique—one comprised of a new twist on my signature apple pieces, and another, more whimsical, collection that includes rings, charms, and earrings in mother-of-p earl with tsavorites, emeralds, and diamonds. WW: Tell us about your signature Aurélie Bidermann pieces. What do you focus on creating consistently? AB: I have many signature icons that I use quite often in both my costume and fine jewelry collections, but the apple, scarab, clover, and feather are the most prominent. They can stand alone or be added to a charm bracelet or necklace for a completely different look.

WW: Aesthetically, the store appears to be natural and bright, while including artistic elements. The furniture shows off pops of color in yellow and pink, cactus plants are arranged between jewelry holders, and we see creative additions like an iron room separator instead of a wall, and up on the shelf, a book of paintings by David Hockney. Tell us about your decisions to present the store in this way.

Courtesy of Aurélie Bidermann

AB: The Madison Avenue boutique maintains the same aesthetic as my two existing boutiques. A white- on- white color palette enriched with contrasting materials (painted wood, stucco, travertine, etc.) and accents of color seen in the furniture, art, and my jewelry designs. I’ve always been interested in art and displaying my designs in unconventional ways. WW: Do you gain inspiration from anything in specific? Artists, artwork, or perhaps travel experiences? AB: Inspiration can come from anywhere— art, travel, nature. I find travel to be the most inspiring for me. My newest collection for fall/winter 2016 is Greek inspired, with many styles named after Greek icons and goddesses. Art is also a huge source of inspiration for me, and something that I’ve always loved. WW: What type of woman is an Aurélie Bidermann woman? AB: There isn’t a specific woman I design for. I like to think that anyone can find a piece in my collection that fits their own personal style, whether it’s a casual braided bracelet for summer or something more dressy for a night out.

MAX MARA The Flagship on Madison Avenue By Katy Donoghue

While Max Mara remains an Italian fashion house, founded in the 1950s by Achille Maramotti in Reggio Emilia, the brand responsible for the most iconic camel coat has some serious ties to New York. Its Upper East Side Manhattan location at 813 Madison Avenue opened in the late 1990s in a 3-story, 8,055-square-foot landmark building built in 1882 by architect Charles Buek. Renovated in 1994 by Duccio Maria Grassi, the interiors were designed in limestone, maple wood, and brushed stainless steel rails—all imported from Italy, of course—complementing the original Ceppo di Grè Italian stone floor. It is a standout boutique on the block, and was one of Max Mara’s first to open in the U.S. More recently, the maison found inspiration in the New York City of the 1970s in its pre-fall 2015 collection, which debuted in New York at the Old Dia in Chelsea, designed by Creative Director Ian Griffiths. “I think that what happened in those years, in the seventies and eighties, were of such huge significance that we’re only really starting to process their importance now. I’m really aware of how rich in artistic memories downtown Manhattan is because I lived through that period. I know that only four blocks away there was the Roxy, where the artistic world, like Keith Haring and Basquiat and Warhol met Debbie Harry and Madonna— that incredible party time,” said Griffiths. And the U.S. Retail Director Maria Giulia Maramotti, granddaughter to Achille, calls New York home, as well. “Living in New York, obviously, for me is a great opportunity. It’s considered the center of today’s contemporary art world. So I have opportunities to be exposed to new emerging artists, studio visits, getting to know about what is going on,” Maramotti told us. She’s also involved with Max Mara’s ongoing partnership with The Whitney Museum of American Art.

The Madison Avenue store offers ready-to-wear and accessories, and boasts the brand’s Tailored Suit Project and Atelier. The bespoke offering centers around, of course, the jacket, creating the perfect fit and style for women in New York. Taking the traits of men’s tailoring, each jacket takes 375 minutes to make, hand-stitched in special fabrics like cotton, silk mikado, mat linen, mohair, wool, and silk, in colors of blue, black, white, red, pink, and even aquamarine—fitting for business or pleasure. This May, you’ll be able to catch the pre-fall 2016 collection at Madison Avenue, inspired by punk’s Dorothy Parker with accents of studded belts, pleated silks, fishnets, and biker jackets. Parker’s favorite New York places like The Algonquin, 21 Club, The St. Regis, and Polly Adler’s are recalled in the edgy, yet glamorous collection. Parker, like most New Yorkers, understood the importance of style, saying, “Take care of the luxuries and the necessities will take care of themselves.” That’s all the motivation any woman would need to buy her first 101801 Max Mara coat.
