LETTER FROM

THE EDITOR Fall is one of the best seasons in New York, and this time in November is one of the busiest. There’s the evening Post-War and Contemporary Sales at powerhouses Christie’s and Sotheby’s, the opening of The Salon Art + Design at the Park Avenue Armory, and the New York Art, Antique & Jewelry Show taking place at Pier 94. 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.

For our New York issue to be released in November, we bring you six insiders that offer their sides and secrets of New York. We also talk to The Salon Art + Design’s Jill Bokor about the intersection of furniture and fine arts, Barrett White of Christie’s about the auction house’s 250-year anniversary, Grégoire Billault of Sotheby’s on the blockbuster “Triumph of Painting” sale, and Cartier’s own Mercedes Abramo lets us peek inside the newly renovated and reopened historic Cartier Mansion. Whitewaller also shares an overview of the top new luxury residential and commercial real estate projects shaping the New York City skyline (and High Line).

Whitewaller New York brings you uptown again, to Madison Avenue and the Upper East Side, for an in-the-know take on the best boutiques, restaurants, hotels, bars, and galleries. And as the crisp fall air starts to turn chillier and chillier, we bring you a first look and sneak-preview of Whitewaller Miami to warm you up for the week of Art Basel in Miami Beach, which is just around the corner.

—Katy Donoghue, Editor-in-Chief

LETTER FROM

THE GUEST EDITOR Few things compare to fall in New York, especially on the Upper East Side with the leaves changing color in Central Park, the last few days of being able to dine al fresco, the event calendar in full swing, and the final weekends before shops get too hectic for the holiday season.

For that reason, I was excited to be asked to participate as Guest Editor of this issue of Whitewaller. When I started Fivestory, after my beginnings in the art world, I wanted to create a space with a singular vision unique to anything else in New York—somewhere that combines everything from the classic to the contemporary. I’ve always traveled, taking in museums, different city streets, landscapes, and experiences. I began collecting objects from a young age. Fivestory is a treasure trove of the world’s finest items— from fashion to art, and from jewelry and accessories to home décor. The name Fivestory references both our building on East 69th Street, and my belief that every object has a story that deserves to be told.

As a native New Yorker, it is fun to share with you my slice of New York, and my favorite haunts on and around Madison Avenue. Creel and Gow on East 70th Street feels like a cabinet of curiosities, chock-full of fascinating objects like rare minerals, taxidermy, exotic décor, discerning tabletop items, and other wunderkammer. For a cut and color appointment, look no further than the absolute masters at Sharon Dorram Color at Sally Hershberger on East 71st Street—you’ll feel utterly pampered in this 1970s Parisian-style salon. Also on East 71st is The Row, whose minimalist approach to ready-towear and accessories is perfectly reflected in the shop’s serene setting.

New York is full of gems like these. You just need to know where to wander!

—Claire Distenfeld Founder of Fivestory

KERRY JAMES MARSHALL AT THE MET BREUER October 25–January 29, 2017 - Upper East Side Kerry James Marshall’s “Mastry” encompasses the artist’s 35-year career through 80 works that include 72 paintings. Marshall confronts Western art history using its recognized forms and canons, in which he asserts in content dismissed blackness and black experience, thus making the invisible visible and correcting, in his words, the “vacuum in the image bank.”

Influenced by Asian belief systems like Taoism and Zen Buddhism, and the natural surroundings of her home in New Mexico, her restrained but evocative style was underpinned by a personal conviction in the emotive and expressive power of art.

CARMEN HERRERA AT THE WHITNEY September 16–January 2, 2017 - Meatpacking District This is the first New York museum exhibition dedicated to the artist’s work in nearly two decades. It begins with the Cuban-American painter’s formative period following World War II, moves on to her most important series, "Blanco y Verde" (1959–1971), and ends in Herrera’s continued experimentation with figure and ground relationships, highlighting the architectural underpinnings of many of her compositions.

Upper East Side

Madison Avenue in Manhattan acts as an intersection of commerce and art. Between visits to galleries and museums on the Upper East Side like The Met Breuer, Galerie Perrotin, and Dominique Lévy, stop in for a meal at Kappo Masa or E.A.T., and put your feet up at The Surrey or The Mark after shopping at spots like Creel and Gow, Vhernier or de Grisogono.

When the nonconforming show premiered in London in 1995, Hans Ulrich Obrist had partnered with artist Christian Boltanski, and was inspired by a host of histories and ideologies related to possession—notably the anarchist idea that “ownership is theft” and the post-60s dematerialization of the object in conceptual art.

THE HIGHLIGHTS FROM

CHRISTIE’S ANNUAL POST-WAR & CONTEMPORARY ART SALES With Barrett White

By Eliza Jordan For this November’s Post-War and Contemporary Art Sales at Christie’s in New York, we spoke to its Deputy Chairman and International Director, Barrett White, about celebrating the auction house’s 250th anniversary, which lots to look for, and the current direction of the contemporary art market.

WHITEWALLER: What can we expect from this year’s Post-War and Contemporary Art Sales auction at Christie’s?

BARRETT WHITE: This season will be similar to our May season in that you can expect to see tighter sales than those that took place in 2014 and 2015, however the quality of the works will be just as strong as the lots that we have seen in evening sales over the past few years.

WW: Are there any specific works to note that will be in the sale?

BW: This season, we chose works that catered to the current tastes, which are gravitating toward blue chip artists such as de Kooning, Martin, and Lichtenstein—all of whom have a strong presence in our sale.

There are several remarkable sculptures

by Alexander Calder, including a wonderful wire sculpture of John Graham. There are two superlative examples by Christopher Wool, including Helter Helter and The Show is Over. Cady Noland and Robert Gober are also represented by really fantastic objects.

The list goes on!

We also have several great collections. One of which is the collection of Sylvia and Robert Olnick, a New York couple who acquired Post-War examples that possess an intellectual quality that are also very beautiful to live with. Highlighting this collection is an outstanding sculpture

by Lichtenstein titled Sleeping Muse. We are also very excited about Jean Dubuffet’s masterpiece, Les Grandes Artères, which is one of the sale’s top lots.

WW: In May 2015, Christie’s hit the world auction record for Dubuffet’s Paris Polka,

24

included in the same “Paris Circus” series.

Can you tell us more about the Dubuffet piece in this upcoming sale?

BW: Les Grandes Artères is from Dubuffet’s most celebrated series, “Paris Circus.” It is not as large as Paris Polka, which set the world auction record for the artist at Christie’s in May of 2015, but its bold and vibrant composition makes it one of the strongest examples that came out of “Paris Circus.” Dubuffet took a six-year hiatus from Paris, and when he returned to the city in 1961, he experienced a kind of creative awakening that resulted in this remarkable series. In Les Grandes Artères, Dubuffet packed the surface with the exuberance that he witnessed after his return to the city, capturing his rediscovery of urban life.

“Paris Circus” was in many ways Dubuffet’s celebration of the resurgence of Paris after the war, and this picture has such a clear sense of optimism and playfulness. It is a very literal depiction of Parisian street life in its best form, and as a result, you can really feel the dynamism coursing through the streets.

Les Grandes Artères has been in the same private collection since 1963 and has not been seen publicly since the early 1970s when it was featured in the Guggenheim’s Dubuffet retrospective.

WW: This year also marks Christie’s 250th anniversary. How are you celebrating?

BW: Christie’s has been commemorating our 250th anniversary all year with a range of events around the world, including the highly successful Defining British Art Evening Sale that took place in London this past June. We look forward to continuing to celebrate in New York with events that will surround the date of the first auction held by James Christie on December 5, 1766.

A CLOSER LOOK AT THIS YEAR’S

SALON ART + DESIGN With Jill Bokor

By Charlotte Boutboul The Executive Director of The Salon Art + Design, Jill Bokor, is all about creating environments that favor the beauty of the unexpected. Art editor turned fair director, she spoke with Whitewaller about what surprises are in store at the Park Avenue Armory fair this November.

it. So while an ancient Egyptian polychrome may not be a surprise, the idea of contextualizing it, say, with a Mattia Bonetti sofa or a Zaha Hadid dining table might create a new way of thinking about form and harmony. The headdress of the Egyptian goddess employs an arc, as does the arm of the Bonetti sofa. Architecture makes use of all of Platonic solids. Design does too. These are things we instinctively understand. It’s all a continuum.

WW: Innovative design is bringing about serious progress at the moment (3D printing, urban solutions, energy solutions).

Some argue that design is becoming more important (or at least relevant) than art. Do you agree?

Photo by Joyce Anderson.

WHITEWALLER: Is there a trick in harmoniously combining design and art at a fair?

JILL BOKOR: I don’t know if there’s a trick.

We’re about environments—from the incredible architecture of the Park Avenue Armory itself to thinking about objects and images with which people live in 2016. The scale and intimacy of The Salon ensure that attendees look at every object in every booth with fresh eyes considering how each piece might work in their house or apartment.

If anything, I think of it as geometry—the order and nature of forms and how they complete each other harmoniously.

JB: The difference isn’t one of relevance. It’s about consciousness. We’ve always bought furniture—that was the functional part of a home. The art brought the whimsical, the sentimental, the thing no one else could have. That didn’t used to be true of design, but somewhere in the 20th century people started to think about design differently.

Not only could a chair be comfortable; it could express a point of view or have a sense of humor. Look at the Campana brothers for the best contemporary example of this.

WW: You said that one of the challenges is to broaden the fair with new unexpected material and create surprises. How do you look for surprises?

JB: As in everything, context rules here. The surprise may not be in the object itself, but rather how it connects to everything around

When I was a kid all of the houses I went to had a Mies Barcelona chair. It was sort of a proclamation of good taste. In retrospect it seems contrived, but it was also a statement that people were thinking about the objects in their homes in a certain way. I think the difference now is that collectors think about every functional piece as a design object, as well. So it’s not more or less important than art, but it’s equally recognized as an expression of who we are and what we value.

THE STEVEN AND ANN AMES COLLECTION CELEBRATES RICHTER AND DE KOONING Grégoire Billault on the Sotheby’s Fall Contemporary Art Evening Auction

By Charlotte Boutboul Grégoire Billault, head of Contemporary Art at Sotheby’s New York, spoke to Whitewaller about the spectacular caliber of the Steven and Ann Ames Collection to be presented at this November’s contemporary art sales.

WHITEWALLER: How did the Steven and Ann Ames Collection find itself entrusted to Sotheby's New York?

GRÉGOIRE BILLAULT: I believe one of the reasons [they decided to go with us] is that we have an impressive track record with Gerhard Richter. He’s an artist in which we have always believed in, here at Sotheby’s New York. We sold an amazing group of paintings by him in 2011 (eight abstract paintings that exceeded pre-sale expectations of $27 million to bring $74 million), which was also a very special grouping of Richter’s works for which we really found a market at that time. So this is an artist in which we feel we deliver at the highest level.

WW: What makes this collection particularly special?

GB: There are not that many collections like this one in terms of quality. As an auction house we are always desperate for collections of this caliber and to tell new stories, and this is exactly what you want to have. We didn’t call it the “The Triumph of Painting” for nothing. Most of these works have been bought from the primary market. You can feel and see when you look at the group that it’s very much people choosing and building a group of works—a real collection, a real ensemble. There’s a story there, and we are storytellers here at Sotheby’s. That is what we are going to try to do, [tell stories], from Robert Ryman to Philip Guston, from Richter to de Kooning, from Condo to Franz Kline. Every piece of work has been chosen in a very precise way.

For example, you’ve got a de Kooning from every single decade, and a Richter from every single decade (except the last one).

So they went deep into these two artists, and from these two they expanded to Sigmar Polke, to Anselm Kiefer…

28

WW: What are the highlights we should know about?

GB: The two most extraordinary works are two [of Richter’s] abstraktes: AB., St James and AB., Still, from 1988 and 1986, respectively. They are one of the best abstraktes we have seen on the market for a long time and both come on the market with a $20-30 million estimate. It’s always difficult to describe abstraction but they are, in terms of color combination, color composition, and power balance, just amazing. I would say that AB., St James is probably the most interesting. Richter has not been using a lot of black in his career, but the way he has been playing with black in this painting is absolutely extraordinary.

WW: You’ve talked about the kind of story a collection can tell. What story can an auction house tell?

GB: What I mean [by “story”] is that when you go to museums you are able to see real grouping of works and collections that have been put together by curators.

We, however, exhibit what we receive in terms of what people want to sell. For once, we’ve got a complete group. Two amazing collectors that collected for 40 years. It amounts to a real group of works that go well together, that talk to each other. That doesn’t happen a lot.

SPRING PLACE SETS EYES ON RED HOOK, BROOKLYN With Alessandro Cajrati Crivelli

By Katy Donoghue As a real estate developer for close to 20 years, Alessandro Cajrati Crivelli has been responsible for creating Zona Tortona in Milan, one of the largest fashion districts in the world. He recently launched the workspace membership club Spring Place, which first opened in Tribeca in New York and will soon see sites in cities around the world. Whitewaller caught up with the founder and managing partner of EST4TE FOUR to learn how he approaches creating spaces for connections between creative industries, and his latest project in Red Hook, Brooklyn.

Courtesy of Spring Place.

WHITEWALLER: By recognizing the connections between industries like fashion, art, and design, and the change in the way that we work within those industries, what cities are you drawn to for future locations of the club?

ALESSANDRO CAJRATI CRIVELLI: We will do one in Los Angeles and one in Red Hook, Brooklyn. We know where we want to go, but it depends on the building and neighborhood.

It’s really driven by the city. In Milan, with Zona Tortona, the initial drive was design, and then came fashion. In the fashion industry, I’ve met some of the most brilliant minds in terms of creativity and business sense.

Other cities, like New York, host a variety of players. Fashion will always be our anchor, because it’s sophisticated, it’s glamorous, it’s dynamic, it’s an international language. But New York is the best city to do

30

the club because you have the art, you have the media, the music, you have entertainment.

WW: The Red Hook project in Brooklyn you mentioned is named Innovation Studios, so, with that, will you see more of an engagement with the tech industry?

ACC: Because I was privileged enough to be part of the creation of a district in Milan, to be part of or responsible for the creation of a district in New York City from the real estate point of view is one of the most exciting opportunities. We want to use the idea of working with some of the most sophisticated minds to create an ideal village where a lot of creative players and companies can mingle, work, and have fun together. In this specific place, it is called Innovation Studios because there is no doubt that the high-tech industry is the new player in every sector. It is probably the most exciting industry right now. And, for example, there is this interconnection between tech and the fashion industry with new designs incorporating high-tech fabrics, or accessories like the Apple Watch, for example. I’m looking more for these integrations between the real innovation and application that is a bit more glamorous and fun than pure technology.

The fashion and art worlds are very much interconnected. Some of the biggest collectors in the art world are people who were originally in the fashion world: Bernard Arnault, Miuccia Prada, François Pinault.

WW: The plan for Red Hook is over 13 acres and one million square feet. That’s a big undertaking!

ACC: It’s big, but not that big. I hope to grow further than the initial plan. Listen, every project needs to be successful, but when you have the opportunity to develop a project like this one, I think there’s a responsibility to go well beyond the management, doing something beautiful, that contributes locally and beyond.

Red Hook is a magic place where we can really make an amazing, wonderful district that would be unique not only in New York, but in the U.S.

GO INSIDE CARTIER’S

NEW YORK FIFTH AVENUE MANSION

With Mercedes Abramo

By Eliza Jordan Taking us inside the recently renovated Cartier Mansion in New York is Mercedes Abramo—the brand’s first American president in over 25 years, and the first woman to hold this position. The Mansion opened its doors after its two-and-a- halfyear makeover on September 13, and for this edition of Whitewaller, we discussed with Abramo its many inspirations and surprises.

WHITEWALLER: In 1917, Morton and Maisie Plant traded the Mansion for a two-strand pearl necklace and $100 in cash with Pierre and Louis Cartier, and the property has been Cartier’s New York flagship ever since. How does this impact the decisions you made with the design of the new store?

MERCEDES ABRAMO: Upon stepping into the Mansion, there is a large portrait of Maisie Plant wearing the pearl necklace.

It creates the feeling that you are a part of our family, and allows you to experience the house of Cartier in the way it was originally intended—as a home with a very warm feeling. We have created environments where you feel that you can come in, explore, and wander, but you can also take your time enjoying our creations and experiencing our story; talking to our sales associates about the history of Cartier and exploring our current offerings.

Cartier Archives, New York © Cartier.

WW: The store took two-and-a-half years to rebuild and includes 43 different fabrics, 101 window treatments, 35 unique pieces of furniture, and more. How did you go about choosing these details to include?

MA: Pierre Rainero, our Director of Image, Style, and Heritage, worked closely with Thierry Despont on the renovation. Each of the antiques within the Mansion were carefully hand selected, and details from the Mansion were matched and modeled perfectly to prior designs. Pierre helped Thierry to restore the landmark to its original state in certain aspects, while simultaneously modernizing it.

WW: Several rooms are inspired by and dedicated to important figures in Cartier's history. How does keeping in mind historical references affect the juxtaposition of it with modern design?

MA: We have jewelry and diamond salons

dedicated to Elizabeth Taylor and Grace Kelly on the second floor, and watchmaking salons dedicated to Gary Cooper and Andy Warhol. All of these cultural icons have a bond with Cartier, and it is a place where you go for something very special. We design pieces that stand the test of time, and they are always looking for something new and different and Cartier does that. We create new pieces, but our aim is to always design objects of desire for years to come.

WW: Tell us about the Andy Warhol salon that is dedicated to men's watches. Why was Andy Warhol an influence for this room?

MA: Andy Warhol always wore a Tank, and when asked why, he said, "I don't wear a

Tank watch to tell the time. Actually, I never even wind it. I wear a Tank because it is the watch to wear!" For this reason, we felt he would be the perfect representation for our watch salon.

WW: Cartier has an assuredness to stay relevant, regardless of time, and the archive sketches have been known to inspire recent designs. What is a good example of a new piece of Cartier jewelry that is carrying on that tradition?

MA: We created a very special piece for the re-opening—a pearl necklace inspired by the original strand of pearls which Pierre Cartier used to purchase the Mansion.

By Katy Donoghue In May of this year, Opera Gallery opened at 791 Madison Avenue in New York with an exhibition that brought together an international body of work by both modern and contemporary artists. There were paintings by Joan Miró, Fernand Léger, Marc Chagall, and Zao Wou-Ki; there were sculptures by Alexander Calder, Manolo Valdés, and Anish Kapoor; and even more from Pablo Picasso, Alberto Giacometti, Fernando Botero, and Ai Weiwei. The inaugural show was not only impactful in its breadth and quality of work, it was an example of the mission of the Opera Gallery group, which has grown to include 12 galleries internationally (the most recent gallery opened in Aspen, CO, in July 2016).

Gilles Dyan, a member of the European Chamber of Expert-Advisors in Fine Art, founded Opera Gallery in 1994. Since then, “Opera Gallery has been devoted to curating the very best in international talent for an ever-expanding clientele including faithful art collectors and the general public,” said Dyan. He sees the art world as a global village, and his spaces in New York, Miami, Aspen, London, Paris, Monaco, Geneva, Singapore, Seoul, Hong Kong, Beirut, and Dubai (with more locations in the works) as connectors between artists, patrons, collectors, and art professionals alike. Dyan’s aim is to foster a creative and artistic network that “feeds on exchanges, dialogue, surprise encounters, and sublime discoveries.”

Presenting a mix of movements— Impressionism, Modernism, Expressionism— and genres—painting, photography, sculpture, street art, and design—Opera Gallery is proud to show an exclusive and bold selection of artworks that inspires upcoming art trends. “In a world where the only constant is change, Opera Gallery is continually on the lookout, exploring new centers of interest like design and photography; taking the pulse of new ideas and trends as they emerge on the international scene,” said Dyan.

Along those lines, after the opening show in New York, Opera Gallery featured an exhibition by contemporary talent Andy Denzler entitled “Suspended Reality” (which was on view from October 21

34

until November 3). In his work, Denzler captures mere moments, distorting the figure with his unique technique of smearing paint with a spatula, while working from photographic inspiration. The Swiss artist living and working in Zurich is principally concerned with addressing time and evoking a narrative through composition, light, and motion.

At the end of November, for those heading to Miami for the annual week of fairs, Opera Gallery can be found at its new location in the city’s Design District, which reopened in March after 14 years in Bal Harbour. You’ll also find the gallery at Art Miami, which will be taking place between November 29 and December 4.

Until then, be sure to visit Opera Gallery on Madison Avenue where, as Gilles Dyan described, “sheer pleasure and keen investments meet.”

The 88-story tower designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro in collaboration with Rockwell Group is currently under construction and will be the first residential building to open at Hudson Yards, the brand new 28-acre neighborhood that’s transforming Manhattan’s West Side between Chelsea and Hell’s Kitchen. The curvaceous glass structure sits by the High Line with a rectangle base that gradually morphs into a quatrefoil form. It will be one of the few residences at Hudson Yards to be positioned right on its public square where three iconic parks converge: the High Line, Hudson River Park, and Hudson Park & Boulevard. The building will offer 285 condominiums ranging from one-bedrooms to penthouses with oversized layouts an southern views. Buyers can choose from two interior design palettes with light and dark finishes and will enjoy 24-hour concierge service, two floors of amenities and a rooftop entertaining suite with entertainment lounges. Prices range from $2.4 million to $32 million. The building is expected to finish in 2018.

565 Broome Soho

New York

Located between Broome and Watts Streets, 565 Broome SoHo is Renzo Piano’s first residential project in New York. It follows his firm's completion of the new Whitney Museum of American Art. The 30-story structure will soar above its smaller scale surroundings, providing sweeping views of the city and the Hudson River, and acting as a quiet retreat from the SoHo area. The building’s materials have been selected to complement the neighborhood’s history, and its shape allows residents to take full advantage of the building’s panorama. For instance, the structures’ corners have been curved to maximize views. For interiors, rather than applying the prototypical finishes, Piano favors stone, white oak wood, glass, and concrete. Amenities will include a gym with a heated 55-foot lap pool, and retail outlets positioned at the ground level. The building is expected to be finished late 2018.

From the High Line to the skyline, its wraparound green, twisted pathway was envisioned as a continuation of the historic elevated park.

If I’m looking for a Michelin three-star experience where food, service, and ambiance reign supreme, Eleven Madison Park or Per Se (my alma mater) are truly exceptional. My secret pleasure is a cheeseburger and custard at Shake Shack.

WHERE TO SIP

I love to mix up where I go (no pun intended).

Some of my favorite haunts include The NoMad Bar, PDT (Please Don’t Tell), The Palm Court at The Plaza Hotel, The Dead Rabbit, Bemelmans Bar at The Carlyle Hotel, or The Lambs Club.

In the West Village, I love La Lanterna di Vittorio for a family Italian meal and late night jazz. Notable mentions are Gemma at the Bowery Hotel and ABC Kitchen.

WHERE TO SIP

Smith & Mills or the bar at Le Coucou. My friends at Roman Williams’ design are so beautiful, you’ll never want to leave. 

WHERE TO SEE ART

WHERE TO SEE ART

Visiting the Guggenheim Museum is an absolute must. And if you are looking for an enlightening off-the-beaten-path experience, I suggest a short taxi ride to Queens to visit the Noguchi Museum.

The Met (and for roof cocktails, too). The Studio Museum in Harlem, MoMA, David Zwirner.

WHERE TO HAVE FUN

I am terrible at golf, but love the game. I like to practice my swing at the driving range at The Golf Club at Chelsea Piers.  WHERE TO RELAX

My father was a well-known astronomer, so I like to visit the Hayden Planetarium in the American Museum of Natural History whenever I can. I also love the Assouline bookstore in The Plaza Hotel. They have an incredible selection of coffee table books, including Tequila Cocktails, which I am excited to be launching this season.

If you are able to secure the hottest ticket in town, Hamilton is simply amazing! For those looking for a great laugh, I strongly recommend The Book of Mormon.

WHERE TO HAVE FUN

If you’re in the mood for something retro, Coney Island is always fun. Rent a Citi Bike for a ride starting at Battery Park with views of Lady Liberty, stop for a round of mini golf at Pier 25, and continue all the way to Harlem (and with Citi Bike, you don’t have to peddle back).  WHERE TO RELAX

The New York Botanical Garden is inspiring and rejuvenating.

The restaurant at The NoMad Hotel— nothing comes close to the foie gras roasted chicken followed by a Milk & Honey dessert.

A nightcap in The Library, just off the restaurant’s atrium, is the cherry on top.

The tiny bar at The Waverly Inn. I may be slightly biased, as we live a few doors away.

Still, it’s a classic. Thanks to Kim [Heirston], Bemelmans Bar at The Carlyle Hotel is now a close second.

After four years at Tanya Bonakdar Gallery, Chelsea is still my spot come Thursday nights.

The caliber of programs stretching from West 17th Street to upwards of West 30th Street is hard to beat.

W HER E TO H AV E FUN

For the wholesome Sunday afternoon type, it usually starts with brunch at Jack’s Wife Freda, then on to the small street fairs in NoLIta. For the fun you do not want to remember, cocktail lounge Paul’s Baby Grand is your spot.

Bar Pitti is the best casual Italian food spot in New York, and there's tons of heated outdoor seating so you can people-watch until late in the fall. Go with the Spinaci Saltati and the Rigatoni Pitti.

WHERE TO SIP

ZZ's Clam Bar is my favorite because it's a tiny little jewel box and the cocktails are amazing.  WHERE TO SEE ART

The best art-trek in New York City is to go to Gagosian Gallery on West 24th Street, walk down to Gagosian on West 21st Street, and then continue via the High Line to the new Whitney Museum. It's a perfect art afternoon.

W HER E TO H AV E FUN

The biggest rarity in New York City is nature, so if I'm going to hang out for an afternoon, I try to be outside. The Noguchi Museum in Long Island City has a beautiful garden, and the Brooklyn Botanical Garden is also really magical—and right next to the Brooklyn Museum.

W HER E TO R EL A X

Take a car up to Dia:Beacon, which is one of the most special and peaceful art destinations in the world. It's especially gorgeous in fall.

TOP SHOW​( S)​ TO SEE THIS NOV EMBER

I am super excited that Gagosian on West 21st Street is opening the Andreas Gursky show “Not Abstract II” on November 10. It's his first solo show in New York in five years, and the work is all inspired by American postwar painters.

I start my morning with a bevy of juices from the Juice Press and follow them up with the perfect latte from Sant Ambroeus. For predinner drinks, I like The Rotunda at The Pierre or Bemelmans Bar at The Carlyle.  WHERE TO SEE ART

Browsing the pre-sales exhibitions at Sotheby’s and Christie’s is unique in that it gives you the opportunity to view a range of really wonderful art, and at times, from one individual’s perspective and personal collection. I always find a time to pass through the Neue Galerie and especially its bookstore.

WHERE TO HAVE FUN

With my children I like to wander though a wing at the Met or an exhibition we choose. I give them each a notebook to draw whatever catches their eye or inspires them. On my own I do the same, but with my journal.  WHERE TO RELAX

Courtesy of Christie’s.

For its evening Post-War and Contemporary Art sale on November 15, Christie’s will present Willem de Kooning’s 1977 masterpiece Untitled XXV. Estimated in the region of $40 million, Untitled XXV is returning to the auction market for the first time since setting the world auction record for any example of post-war art in the very same saleroom exactly 10 years ago to the date.

Untitled XXV comes from a remarkable series of large canvases that de Kooning made in the mid-1970s. Following

62

the spring of 1975, a long stretch of painterly inactivity for the artist, de Kooning found himself hit by a fresh burst of creativity, perhaps thanks to his recent exploration into sculpture and his involvement in an ever-deepening love affair with the young Emilie Kilgore. De Kooning was able to sustain this flourishing activity until the end of 1978.

Online bidding for Wednesday’s morning and afternoon sales takes place on Christie’s Live, and Tuesday’s evening sale is viewable online.

Occupying the three main floors of the New Museum, “Pipilotti Rist: Pixel Forest,” on view through January 15, is the most comprehensive presentation of Rist’s work in New York to date. The Swiss pioneer of video art and multimedia installation fuses the natural world with the technological sublime. This survey will also reveal connections between the development of Rist’s art with that of contemporary technologies—from the television monitor to the cinema screen, and from the intimacy of the smartphone to the communal consumption of images and soundscapes.

Ultimately, the ways in which her work has fused the biological with the electronic in the ecstasy of communication, is made palpable.

In late December 1950, Max Beckmann set out from his apartment on the Upper West Side to see his Self-Portrait in Blue Jacket (1950), which was on view at The Met in the exhibition “American Painting Today.” On the corner of 69th Street and Central Park West, however, the 66-year-old artist suffered a fatal heart attack and never made it to the museum. The poignant circumstance of the artist's death served as the inspiration for the current exhibition “Max Beckmann in New York,” on view through February. The show focuses on the German artist’s special connection to New York and includes his iconic and unclassifiable figurative paintings.

After its showing at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) in Chicago, it is The Met Breuer in New York that will be hosting Kerry James Marshall’s vibrant oeuvre. The museum is encompassing the artist’s 35-year career through 80 works that include 72 paintings. Marshall forcefully confronts Western art history using its recognized forms and canons: the historical tableau, landscapes, portraiture, and genre painting, in which he asserts in content dismissed blackness and black experience, thus making the invisible visible and correcting, in his words, the “vacuum in the image bank.”

On view at MoMA, “Nan Goldin: The Ballad of Sexual Dependency” is in its original 35mm format at the MoMA, along with photographs from the museum’s collection. Named after a song in Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill’s The Threepenny Opera, the work chronicles with unsettling intimacy and pureness the photographer’s experience of the hard-drug subculture of New York, Boston, and Berlin from 1979 to 1986. Goldin’s close subjects experience ecstasy and pain through sex and drug use; they revel at dance clubs and bond with their children at home; and they suffer from domestic violence and the ravages of HIV.

With “Mark Leckey: Containers and Their Drivers,” MoMA PS1 is presenting the first comprehensive U.S. survey of the pioneering British artist’s work. Since coming to prominence in the late 1990s, Leckey’s art has addressed the radical effect of technology on popular culture, and given form to the transition from analog to digital culture, powerfully influencing younger generations of artists. Leckey’s breakthrough film Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore (1999), which uses sampled footage to trace dance subcultures in British nightclubs from the 1970s to 1990s, will be one of the highlights on view until early March.

Agnes Martin’s geometrical hand-drawn arrangements of coordinates, lines, and stripes on canvas fill the Guggenheim’s rotunda until January 11, 2017. Often associated with and considered an important figure of Abstract Expressionism and Minimalism, Martin’s radical pencil presentations of interlocking horizontal and vertical lines that at first seem to appear blank, stand apart. Influenced by Asian belief systems like Taoism and Zen Buddhism, and the natural surroundings of her home in New Mexico, her restrained but evocative style was underpinned by a personal conviction in the emotive and expressive power of art.

“Carmen Herrera: Lines of Sight” is the first New York museum exhibition dedicated to Herrera’s oeuvre in nearly two decades. It begins with the Cuban-American painter’s formative period following World War II, when she lived in Paris and experimented with different modes of abstraction, and includes her work upon return to New York in 1954. The second section considers her most important series, Blanco y Verde (1959–1971). The final part illuminates Herrera’s continued experimentation with figure and ground relationships, and highlights the architectural underpinnings of many of her compositions.

“Pretty/Dirty” constitutes Marilyn Minter’s first museum retrospective. The New York-based artist’s sensual paintings, photographs, and videos vividly explore complex and contradictory emotions around beauty, eroticism, and the feminine body in American culture. She trains a critical eye on the power of desire, questioning the fashion industry’s commercialization of sex and the body. The exhibit is part of a yearlong series of 10 exhibitions at the museum celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art.

“Take Me (I’m Yours)” comes to New York for the very first time. When the nonconforming show premiered in London in 1995, Hans Ulrich Obrist had partnered with artist Christian Boltanski, and was inspired by a host of histories and ideologies related to possession—notably the anarchist idea that “ownership is theft” and the post-60s dematerialization of the object in conceptual art.

The re-staging and expansion of the exhibition at The Jewish Museum, which includes 42 artists, remains faithful to this initial vision—the visitor is not only asked to engage in close contact with the works, but to take them away for good.

Scenes from Western Culture (2015), which will be on view in Chelsea, is a series that depicts idyllic representations of Western life. The nine videos, or “cinematic paintings,” present non-narrative scenes: a couple dining at a New York restaurant, children playing in a garden in Germany, a woman swimming in a private pool. The picturesque tableaux unfold almost like advertisements, portraying tranquil, inviting moments that captivate in their beauty.

Also on view in Chelsea will be “Architecture and Morality” (2016), a series of paintings Kjartansson completed during a two-week period in the West Bank in conjunction with the Center for Contemporary Art in Tel Aviv.

Taking his easel and paints to the contested Israeli settlements, the artist made representational oil paintings of homes en plein air from morning until dusk, finishing one painting a day. Kjartansson’s straightforward landscapes contrast with the political complexity of the region they represent.

Friedman Benda presents “Water Meditation,” Byung Hoon Choi’s second solo exhibition in New York opening on November 9. This master of Korean craft and sculpture will exhibit new work in basalt and present his first exploration in lacquer. Inspired by his heritage, Choi draws on traditional craftsmanship in Korea, where lacquer techniques have been widely practiced for over 2,000 years. Choi’s continuation of his acclaimed basalt series takes on the form of fountains growing vertically with running water, resembling a scholar's rock or a naturally grown accumulation.

In MEMORIAL, British artist David Shrigley amalgams the solemn function of memory with that of everyday practicality, by honoring one of the most common of all acts: the writing of a grocery list. In engraving this ephemeral, throwaway list on a solid slab of granite, a material synonymous with the language of monuments, the artist humorously subverts both daily routine and the role of the classic memorial. The sculpture becomes a memorial both to no one and to everyone—perhaps standing as a simple but poignant ode to humanity.

Spanning two adjacent spaces at 525 and 533 West 19th Street in Chelsea, the show follows the artist’s 2015 exhibition at David Zwirner’s London location. The Brooklynbased artist is known for her simple yet intricate assemblages of found and made objects. As the art historian Johanna Burton notes in the catalogue accompanying this exhibition, “Bove brings things together not to nudge associative impulses into free play driven by the unconscious, but rather to conjure a kind of affective tangle that disrupts any singular, historical narrative.”

The present exhibit “Impasse Ronsin,” on view through January 18, 2017, centers around the mythical Parisian alley that was home to the studios of Constantin Brâncuși, Yves Klein, Niki de Saint Phalle, Jean Tinguely, and Larry Rivers, and patronized by numerous other seminal artists from the 20th century.

Works by these artists are presented in an installation that brings forward the collaborative atmosphere of the impasse—with at its heart Brâncusi, the true dean of the premises who lived there from 1916 until his death in 1957. Brâncuși’s controversial and ambiguous bronze sculpture Princess X, which was refused to be displayed at Paris’ Salon des Artistes Indépendants in 1920, will be on view.

At 22nd Street, Liu Wei created a floating box made of mirrors to create an altered experience of the space as you walk around it, inspired by the Jorge Luis Borges' poem Mirrors (1960). Also on view is a new series of monochromatic oil paintings, offset by sculpted metal bars. The artist's investigation of industrial materials and architectural concepts is further explored at Chrystie Street, with an installation made of materials like military canvas, wood, and metal, accompanied by colorful paintings on steel.

The Brant Foundation Art Study Center is pleased to present a solo exhibition of works by Steven Shearer through March 2017. The exhibition, which spans Shearer’s prolific 20-year career, brings together paintings, drawings, collages, and poems to demonstrate the constantly evolving nature of his practice. The Canadian artist’s work draws upon a visual lexicon of portraiture and representation of the body, often using found imagery that he collects and archives as source material. Through this process, contemporary imagery is distilled into the tradition of portraiture, revealing affinities between various modes of figuration throughout history to the present.

Drawing on his formal training as an architect, the Mexican artist creates sculptural installations and photographic works that simultaneously emulate, critique, and pay homage to avant-garde art and architecture from the 20th century. Referencing renowned modern artists and architects like Luis Barragán, Josef Albers, and Donald Judd, Dávila’s work uses readily available materials to investigate how modernism has been translated, appropriated, and reinvented.

It highlights her recent investigations into performance, entertainment, and history. With a photograph series and several video installations, including one that use a 19th-century optical trick (the “Pepper Ghost” illusion technique), Weems sustains a personal dialogue on the rifts caused by race, class, and gender via imagery phantasmagoria, and text that is both sharply direct and beautifully poetic.

AUDEMARS PIGUET

RE-OPENS NEW YORK CITY FLAGSHIP

By Eliza Jordan

In September, Audemars Piguet re-opened its New York City flagship at 65 East 57th street after completing a three-month renovation.

Gaining inspiration from the brand’s home village of Le Brassus, Switzerland, the 3,000-squarefoot space feels completely transformed. With three new sales areas (including an after-sale service lounge and a VIP lounge), two custom chandeliers, and stone flooring imported from the Swiss mountains, the watchmaker is also showcasing something familiar for those who visited Audemars Piguet’s VIP lounge at Art Basel in June. Displayed on digital screens are images created by photographer and artist Dan Holdsworth, which embody the spirit and beauty of the Vallée de Joux, where the brand was founded.

“We are very excited to unveil our renovated 57th Street flagship, bringing the

natural beauty of Le Brassus to New York City,” said Xavier Nolot, CEO of Audemars Piguet North America. “Through our new boutique environment, we hope to transport clients to the Vallée de Joux, the birthplace of Audemars Piguet, and the setting of innovative watch creation for over 141 years.”

Warm materials, bright lighting, and surprising touches of moss and rocks beneath display cases subtly refer to the watchmaker’s Swiss roots. The flagship also plays host to the brand’s collections and novelties of 2016, as well as limited-edition and historic timepieces. A rotating group of timepieces from the Audemars Piguet Museum will remain on display at the store, including historic watches that were made specifically for the New York market, like pocket watches, art deco pieces, and post-war wristwatches.

FROM BLACK DIAMONDS

TO THE $63M

CONSTELLATION with de Grisogono’s Fawaz Gruosi

By Eliza Jordan

In September at the Biennale des Antiquaires in Paris, jewelry house de Grisogono unveiled the world’s most expensive rough diamond, The Constellation—a diamond totaling 813 carats, bought for $63 million. Just a few weeks before even seeing it, de Grisogono’s founder and executive board member Fawa Gruosi sat down with Whitewaller in New York to discuss this incredible acquisition, the Madison Avenue boutique, and his unique use of black diamonds in his ever-unexpected designs.

WHITEWALLER: Can you tell us about finding The Constellation, which was discovered by Canadian company Lucara Diamond in Botswana in November 2015, and sold to Nemesis International DMCC and de Grisogono?

FAWAZ GRUOSI: We have a strong connection with Nemesis, allowing de Grisogono to market their best stones.

In the last few months, we acquired two historical rough diamonds, following a competitive bidding process. One was a 404-carat stone, named The 4 de Fevereiro, and once that’s cut, it will probably come out between 150-160 carats. Just a month after, The Constellation was found—813 carats, which is expected to reveal one of the world’s largest certified flawless diamonds. This is the sort of diamond that people will be talking about for generations to come.

They’re studying the stone scientifically to maximize its full potential and spirit. It was under the ground for so many centuries. It’s really just unbelievable.

WW: Do you know yet what the stone will be used for?

FG: Well, definitely for that size it will be impossible to be a pair of earrings or a ring.

So it will for sure be a necklace. And I have to come up with something… That is my role, as creative director, to come up with a spectacular design, and something truly representative of de Grisogono’s unique style!

WW: Can you tell us a little bit about the Allegra

100

ring, the first piece to be made of ceramic for de Grisogono?

FG: Being deeply representative of de Grisogono’s style, The Allegra Collection features stunning volumes. We thought it could be interesting to offer a version of the ring using ceramic for a comfortable feel (ceramic is really light) that also allows us to play with colors—one of our signatures anchored into the warmth of my Mediterranean roots. I also liked the contrast with the gold.

WW: How does your New York boutique on Madison Avenue reflect the brand’s dedication to the jewelry industry?

FG: Opened over 10 years ago, our New York boutique still bears de Grisgono’s unique signature with its original interior design. It is one of my favorites, as it feels like my living room! The interior is rich in details, and is directly inspired from a number of aesthetic constants that are characteristic of our jewelry.

It is important that our jewelry collections and high jewelry unique pieces fulfill tastes and requests for the most demanding and varied clients visiting our 14 boutiques worldwide.

WW: What has been your favorite part about helping craft the brand’s legacy over the past 24 years?

FG: When I started, I had no idea how to design, but I had years of experience in the jewelry industry, and was exposed to many designs and important collections.

At the time, in 1993, all over the world at every showcase, I was seeing minimalists using the classic platinum, white gold, yellow gold, and traditional stones. I decided to do the opposite. I designed in white and rose gold, with bigger volumes, and began to mix different colors together, which no one really ever did before. The talk around town was, “This guy is crazy mixing all these colors!”

Then, I came out with the idea to use black diamonds—at a time when the stones had very little importance or visibility.

The company quickly took off, and

the success was unthinkable. To be honest, I owe a lot to those black diamonds, as they changed my life. I would not be sitting with you today without them. To be daring, to take risks, to offer our clients the most unique and the most beautiful jewelry creations—this is what really motivates me every day.

VHERNIER DEBUTS TWO NEW YORK BOUTIQUES

And a Three-Part Collection

By Eliza Jordan

In July, Italian fine jewelry brand Vhernier opened two boutiques in New York—one is the brand’s flagship on Madison Avenue, and the other is an intimate offering, downtown on Wall Street. These two outposts, the first in New York for Vhernier, also mark its third and fourth U.S. locations.

For the flagship at 783 Madison Avenue, Vhernier created a 2,600-squarefoot space with a dramatic 18-foot entrance, leather upholstered walls, whitened oak panels, theatrical coral curtains, and made use of beige limestone on the floors and walls. With a welcoming 880-square-foot mezzanine and VIP living room, guests can enjoy the exclusivity that only one shopping at Vhernier should come to expect.

As for the downtown location at 55 Wall Street, the 440-square-foot space features two entrances—one on Wall Street, and one inside the Cipriani building. While the luxurious materials used in the creation of this stunning location mirror those used on Madison Avenue, this smaller space offers an intimate shopping experience fit for those who rely on Vhernier’s personal touch.

Both stores showcase Vhernier’s dynamic collections that are all handcrafted in Italy, which include rare rings, necklaces, bracelets, brooches, and cufflinks. The unique workmanship that goes into designing such artistic, contemporary shapes is one that comes from Vhernier’s Italian heritage and aesthetic that has been mastered for over 30 years.

“Due to our success and growth in the past year, we have decided to open two

102

boutiques in the most dynamic city in the world,” said President of Vhernier, Carlo Traglio.

“Our boutiques will be located on one of the most prestigious stretches of Madison Avenue and one of the most internationally recognized financial sectors, Wall Street. New York is a window onto the world and we are thrilled to have found the opportunity to be in two of my dream locations for the brand.”

This fall in New York, you’ll also find Vhernier’s latest jewels—a dynamic three-part collection comprised of unique, memorable, and complex pieces. With minimalistic designs focused on the surface and structure of the jewelry, inventive details allow for each piece to truly shine. In the Rosa collection, we see titanium earrings, pendants, and brooches featuring grey mother of pearl, diamonds, and transparent rock crystal, and also available in lapis, pink quartz, turquoise, or white mother of pearl. Olimpia, a sweet gathering of soft elements that alternate and join together in necklaces and earrings, is available in 18 karats gold or titanium with subtle touches of bright diamonds. Lastly, Giunco shows smooth, flexible, and durable cuffs, earrings, and rings available in 18 karats rose gold and 18 karats white gold with diamonds. If the white gold version is desired, the customer receives over two carats of diamonds with the earrings, over six carats with the bracelet, and nearly one with the ring. Each line in the collection is unique to Vhernier’s contemporary aesthetic and master craftsmanship, offering customers personal and luxurious details to treasure for a lifetime.

HUBLOT AND THE ART OF FUSION

The Special Edition Concrete Jungle Debuts in New York

By Katy Donoghue

Last week in New York, Hublot unveiled its most recent collaboration, in support of the brand’s “Art of Fusion” ethos, with the limited edition Classic Fusion Aerofusion Concrete Jungle watch that was created with artist Tristan Eaton. Looking to make a tribute piece to the city of New York, Hublot found Eaton’s well-known street art and pervasive downtown murals to be the ultimate representation of the place often referred to as the “concrete jungle.”

Naturally, Hublot’s watchmakers found a way to move beyond simple cobranding and actually incorporate concrete into the watch’s bezel itself. The special edition’s case in black ceramic and concrete sports a sapphire dial with the artist’s logo, and looks both powerful and refined with a revealed selfwinding skeleton chronograph movement. And while the face of the watch is all tonal grey, the case back bursts in bright colors with Concrete Jungle (2016)—a miniaturized work of Eaton's, which is a symbol that was previously explored in his NoLIta mural from 2012. The watch blends street art with technical innovation, and raw material with brazen creativity. It is quintessential New York.

Eaton isn’t the first artist with whom Hublot has teamed up. Earlier this spring, the brand announced the Big Bang Sang Bleu, created with the founder of Sang Bleu studio, interdisciplinary artist Maxime Büchi. His interest in geometry and symmetrical harmonies, so often seen in his work and tattoo art, dictated the shape of the bezel, the design of the case, the finish of the dial, and even the typeface of the numerals.

Then there was Hublot’s Classic Fusion Cruz-Diez, fabricated with FrancoVenezuelan artist Maestro Carlos Cruz-Diez—

an icon of the kinetic-optic art movement.

The watchmaker asked the artist to adapt his 1964 work Chromointerférence to three timepieces, creating movement just from the pairing of colors, lines, and shapes on which a black frame was superimposed to change by the minute. With these unique dials, a wholly other level of kinetic-optics was achieved in almost kaleidoscopic fashion.

A similarly unprecedented collaboration came from Hublot’s MP-05 “La Ferrari” masterpiece watch in sapphire, which wasn’t your typical watchmaker-automotive partnership. Instead of slapping a logo on the dial, Hublot worked directly with Ferrari’s design director, Flavio Manzoni, to develop an ultra-complex, record-breaking movement that appeared suspended in air in a carved sapphire case that was remarkably reminiscent of an engine.

And Hublot hasn't just found a flare for allying with artists. The watchmaker has partnerships in the design world as well, both with legendary figures—like Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer who designed the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ official countdown clocks with the brand—and emerging talent—like Christophe Guberan who was awarded the second Hublot Design Prize on September 13. That day, Hublot CEO Ricardo Guadalupe said, “The difference between talent and success means always going further, exploring that extra mile that crowns unique destinies—the alliance of perseverance, passion and good momentum.” That spirit and drive is clearly present in the latest iteration, the Classic Fusion Aerofusion Concrete Jungle timepiece, and in the original concrete jungle that inspires Eaton and us all—New York.
