The Mediterranean is Calling

I know I’m not the only one who loves exploring ancient Europe. There’s nothing like the thrill of climbing the Acropolis with a private guide or venturing out to an actual excavation site — and skipping the crowd. I was speaking with a colleague of mine who had such a thrill recently. After a couple of history-packed days, she headed to islands like Mykonos and Ithaca to relax and recharge.

This conversation inspired me to share some of my favorite hotel and resort recommendations that are sure to pique your interest in this fabulous destination.

The land of olive trees, sea and sun, is calling your name.

HOTEL GRAND BRETAGNE ATHENS

When you arrive in Athens, you’ll want to combine history and heritage with a stay at Hotel Grand Bretagne Athens. This gorgeous hotel has been situated in the heart of the city since 1874. Breathtaking views of the Acropolis and Parliament are only the beginning; you’ll be within walking distance of exclusive shopping areas and museums, and ancient sites like the original Olympic Stadium.

I can also arrange a massage or beauty treatment at the hotel’s GB Spa. You’ll be living like a star; celebrities like Elizabeth Taylor, Sean Connery, Bruce Springsteen and Jay-Z have all stayed in the Grand Bretagne’s Royal Suite.

NEW HOTEL ATHENS

New Hotel offers a more modern, artsy vibe with neoclassical architecture and design. Owner and Greek Cypriot industrialist Dakis Joannou is one of Greece’s foremost collectors of contemporary European art that you’ll admire throughout your stay. New Hotel’s Penthouse Suite offers 360-degree city views of Lycabettus Hill and the Acropolis — you just can’t beat it.

You’ll want to explore the nearby Ermou Street, one of Athen’s main shopping areas that leads to the bazaar-like Monastiriki. When it’s time to indulge for dinner, New Hotel’s restaurant features both local and international dishes, and the rooftop bar allows you to continue admiring Athen’s amazing sights.

SANTA MARINA MYKONOS

Now, let’s talk relaxation. Located on Ornos Bay, in a private peninsula at the southernmost point of Mykonos, Santa Marina’s all-white villas are designed as complete, private homes. You may have seen this traditional Mykonian style in movies. Your balcony will open onto a panoramic view of the turquoise sea. Trust me, just the view alone is worth the trip!

As a guest in an exclusive villa, you’ll enjoy a private infinity pool, yet still benefit from the resort’s restaurants and amenities like butler service. Ask me about the Ginkgo Spa and Buddha-Bar Beach.

VILLA NORMA IN ITHACA

I also know how to book what may be the most secluded, private residence in Greece. Villa Norma’s interiors are so luxurious, it almost feels Tuscan. This area of Ithaca is best known for its emerald-green waters and private white-pebble beach; it’s truly a photogenic example of Mediterranean nature. As the second smallest of the Ionian islands, Ithaca is a dreamy escape. A walk through the expansive private gardens will leave you feeling inspired. Villa Norma also comes with chef service, a villa manager as well as a skipper and captain with three boats. You’ll want to transfer to and from Kefalonia by Riva boat! Ask me about the many other activities to experience here.

MY NETWORK IS LIMITLESS

When you book through a travel advisor, not only do you receive my world of resources, but my network’s best insight as well. Yes, they’ve traveled all around the world, too! My army of advisors root for your vacation dreams as much as I do, and I have access to their knowledge and experience. Additionally, we work with an extensive network of the finest hotels, restaurants, venues and tour companies that allow me to arrange special amenities and perks found nowhere else. As you know, luxury experiences are all about the human touch. Let’s connect so I can customize your dream Grecian getaway.

CAMPAGNA BROTHERS HOSPITALITY

During our time we stayed at the New Hotel in Athens. Greek industrialist and art collector Dakis Joannou commissioned the Campagna Brothers to design the New Hotel in Athens from top-to-bottom.

In a city that embodies and celebrates the ancient it is a distinctive take on boutique hotel. The design is clever and full of design novelty and trickery in some ways startling without any evidence of budgetary constraints. The New Hotel has a great staff and very positive energy. It did take us a day and a half to have a grip on the ten+ light switches, and five switches for motorized shades.

1968: Italian Radical Design

concept by Maurizio Cattelan, Pierpaolo Ferrari and Dakis Joannou

with a preface by design curator and journalist Maria Cristina Didero

published by Deste Foundation and Toiletpaper , 2014, 120 pages

euro 85,00*sold

1968: Radical Italian Design, the newest project from Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari's Toilet Paper in collaboration with the Deste Foundation in Athens, offers an unorthodox, kaleidoscopic walk through the Dakis Joannou collection of Italian Radical Design furniture. Led by avant-garde design firms such as Archizoom, Superstudio, Global Tools and 9999, Radical Design was firmly opposed to the ethics, and indeed the very notion of, "good design" or taste. Toilet Paper's bold, mischievous interpretation of Joannou's collection results in delightful, high-contrast photographs that merge the seductive lines of Radical Design furniture and objects with the curves of the modern-day nymphs cavorting among them. Published as a board book, and named after a year that was pivotal for architecture and design (and, of course, the world at large), 1968 is a collection of dreams and nightmares, an inspiring, eye-popping compendium of colorful, ironic objects and bodies. At once charmingly retro and alarmingly surreal, 1968 includes drawings by one of the Radical Design movement's foremost architects, Alessandro Mendini.

Mark Grotjahn at Gagosian Hong Kong

May 6, 2021

MARK GROTJAHN Horizontals

Opening reception: Tuesday, May 18, 6–8pm May 18–August 7, 2021 7/F Pedder Building, 12 Pedder Street, Central, Hong Kong __________ I like less looking, more doing. —Mark Grotjahn Gagosian is pleased to present Horizontals, an exhibition of new and recent paintings by Mark Grotjahn from the Capri series (2016–). In his paintings, drawings, and sculptures, Grotjahn interweaves various modes of abstraction, employing an expansive vocabulary of motifs and techniques that evolves between series, while infusing existing paradigms with new energy. Exploring color, perspective, seriality, and the sublime, he has drawn inspiration from a diverse history of nonrepresentational painting, from prehistoric to Op art. By incorporating complex and ever-changing modes of expression into an instantly recognizable aesthetic, he continues to develop an authorial gesture that is at once mercurial and entirely his own. Stemming from a body of work that he produced in 2016 for Casa Malaparte on the isle of Capri, Italy, the new paintings extend Grotjahn’s shift away from the representational qualities of the Face paintings (2003–) toward the realm of full abstraction. Inspired by the landmark modernist house of writer Curzio Malaparte (1898–1957)—isolated on a rocky outcrop on the uninhabited side of the island and immortalized in Jean-Luc Godard’s Le Mépris (Contempt, 1963)—Grotjahn inaugurated the series with a group of works titled New Capri. Painted on cardboard and presented behind glass, these dynamic compositions echo the rugged natural environment of the house’s setting. Untitled (New Capri XXXVI 47.47) (2016) typifies his initial approach in that it is structured around almondlike shapes derived in part from the stylized, watchful eyes in the Face paintings.

In the later Capri paintings, Grotjahn moves beyond this motif, conjuring multicolored linear vertices with stylistic echoes of German Expressionism and Italian Futurism, Vassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee. These works are also marked by the influence of American Abstract Expressionism—specifically Clyfford Still’s use of the palette knife. Although allusions to landscape are present in these paintings, most meaningfully they embody in abstract terms the formal and expressive possibilities of paint and process. Some of the most recent works, which adopt the landscape format primarily, also feature rolls of excess paint that Grotjahn “harvests” with a palette knife and arranges in loose grids across the surface of the canvas. Tapering these material elements at either end to enhance their organic quality, he joins them to the support so that they rest atop clusters of vertical and horizontal strokes, providing visual and textural disruptions to the overall compositions. Mark Grotjahn was born in Pasadena, California, and lives and works in Los Angeles. Collections include the Dakis Joannou Collection, Athens; Pinault Collection, Venice; Tate Modern, London; Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; the Broad, Los Angeles; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Des Moines Art Center, Iowa; Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago; Cleveland Museum of Art; Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, DC; and Rubell Family Collection, Miami. Solo exhibitions include Drawings, Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2005); Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (2006); Kunstmuseum Thun, Switzerland (2007); Portland Art Museum, Oregon (2010); Aspen Art Museum, CO (2012); Circus, Circus, Kunstverein Freiburg, Germany (2014); Mark Grotjahn Sculpture, Nasher Sculpture Center, Dallas (2014); and 50 Kitchens, Los Angeles County Museum of Art (2018). _____ Image: Mark Grotjahn, Untitled (Capri 53.88), 2021, oil on cardboard mounted on linen, 55 × 68 inches (139.7 × 172.7 cm) © Mark Grotjahn.

Super Natural. 2007. pencil and oil based pencil on paper. 37 x 78 inches (94 x 198.1 cm) –Super Natural, completed in 2006, marks AUREL SCHMIDT‘s entrance into the prestigious Dakis Joannou Collection. Executed with painstaking detail and rendered in coloured pencil with acrylic paint, this “self-portrait” pictures a fairytale landscape turned nightmare: the organic rhythms of vivification and decay, as thousands of tiny hand drawn bugs, worms, snakes, and creepy crawlies devour the scene.

“The piece is a life-size bizarro-world portrait of the artist as a young woman; as shy and unassuming as AUREL first seemed, her drawn alter-ego betrayed the fierce and wild woman that I would come to know later. That is not to say her boobs are be composed of snakes and maggots, but rather that her spirit is in touch with elements of the natural and the all-too-human in a way far more sophisticated than her twenty-five years should allow.” – by KATHY GRAYSON, Director at Deitch Projects

1) Roni Horn, Untitled (Flannery), 1996–97. Optically clear blue glass, two units, edition 1/3; each: 11 x 33 x 33 inches. Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York. Purchased with funds contributed by the International Director's Council and Executive Committee Members: Edythe Broad, Elaine Terner Cooper, Linda Fischbach, Ronnie Heyman, J. Tomilson Hill, Dakis Joannou, Barbara Lane, Peter Norton, Willem Peppler, Alain-Dominique Perrin, David Teiger, Ginny Williams, and Elliot Wolk. 98.4624 “Two blocks of blue glass—identical but different—sit in relative proximity to one another. Transparent wells of light, they are at once pure depth and reflective surface. As in Roni Horn's metal sculpture—including pairs of solid copper cones—a perfect convergence between interior and exterior transpires. Only here, the oscillation between the two dimensions is visible. This work is one of Horn's "pair objects," which exploit the principle of duplication in order to explore the concept of unity. The twin components reveal themselves simultaneously and sequentially. Through its repetition of form, Untitled (Flannery) embodies a here and a there. It is a site marked by traversal and progression, requiring the viewer to move from one element to the other in a dialectical experience of part to whole. Installed as it is here with one block illuminated and the other nearby in shadow, the work imagines the passage of a day from dawn until dusk; its temporal narrative also encompasses a now and a then. Untitled (Flannery) is an ode to blueness. Blue is profoundly allusive and can connote a musical genre, a state of melancholy, or an aristocratic pedigree. Blue is visible everywhere in nature; it is the color of the ether that surrounds us. Blue is a tangible reality, but one that remains infinitely out of reach. According to the artist, the sculpture is a window that opens onto a state of blueness, the depths of which mine metaphysical and psychological territories”

--From the catalog for the exhibition “Singular Forms (Sometimes Repeated)” at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum

Este tiene que ser uno de los mega diseños único-en-su-tipo, y al mismo tiempo, más extraño yate de lujo, que jamás se haya visto en las aguas.

El multimillonario Dakis Joannou, un industrial greco-chipriota y famoso coleccionista de obras de arte, le encargó al mundialmente reconocido artista estadounidense, Jeff Koons, el diseño, y al constructor italiano de yates Ivana Porfiri, de crear un exclusivo mega yate art-céntrico.

Fotos de Yiorgos Kaplanidis, via Forbes

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

Como una galería de arte flotante y apropiadamente llamado “Guilty”, el mega yate mide 35 metros (115 pies) de largo, y se considera como el proyecto más grande del artista estadounidense hasta la fecha. El yate se inspiró en el camuflaje naval británico de la Primera Guerra Mundial, conocido como “Dazzle camouflage” or “Razzle Dazzle”.

El exterior de Guilty cuenta con audaces diseños geométricos que incluyen rombos amarillos, alternando con triángulos rosados y polígonos azules. El patrón fue concebido por Norman Wilkinson para confundir a los botes enemigos, y hacerlos calcular mal la distancia del buque mientras estuvieran apuntando.

Fotos de Yiorgos Kaplanidis, via Forbes

El multimillonario griego le dijo a la revista estadounidense Forbes, que los diseños de estribor y babor “tienen un dialogo con la idea de pirámides y la imagen de un oasis y espejismo.”

El interior está dominado por las superficies blancas con enormes ventanales para maximizar la luz natural hacia dentro, para mostrar la extensa colección de arte del Sr. Joannou (una de las mas finas colecciones de arte contemporáneo del mundo).

¿Qué piensa de esta galería de arte flotante?, Déjanos saber a través de un comentario.

On a Monday in late June, after the Art Basel fair in Basel, Switzerland, the billionaire collector Dakis Joannou docked his yacht in the small harbor of the Greek isle of Hydra. The yacht’s exterior is covered in a kaleidoscopic pattern that was designed by Jeff Koons, and it is called Guilty. That night, I took a hike around the island’s edge—Hydra is so small that cars are not allowed—to the art space that Joannou created on a cliff, the Deste Foundation Slaughterhouse, in a building that was once used to kill sheep and goats, to see a show of new work by Kiki Smith, an artist in New York. Smith is just one of the many artists Joannou has collected in bulk since the 1980s, when he began building one of the world’s greatest contemporary art troves: 1,500 works in total, many of them masterpieces. In 2004, ArtReview named him the most powerful collector in the world.

The annual show at the Slaughterhouse opens around the time of the summer solstice and draws the global art-world cognoscenti. For many, it is work, but the glam setting of a gorgeous Greek island makes it feel like a vacation. The usual suits and dresses get swapped for beachwear. This year was no different. When I arrived at the Deste Slaughterhouse around 9 p.m., the sun still burning orange over the cerulean water, the collector Frank Moore was in a tank top and bathing suit talking to dealer Mike Egan of New York space Ramiken Crucible, while Whitney Museum director Adam Weinberg was in shorts and a T-shirt. At one point, Maurizio Cattelan, in short shorts, grabbed a photographer’s camera and started snapping shots of the locals as they frolicked and drank the free wine in casks. A glorious exception: Jeffrey Deitch dressed in a full suit with a jacket. And it was rumored that Koons, the world’s most expensive living artist, would be making an appearance.

Jeff Koons was supposed to come to Hydra and do a show in th3e Deste Foundation. But the show was postponed to 2022.

Guggenheim Museum, New York Purchased with funds contributed by the International Director's Council and Executive Committee Members: Edythe Broad, Elaine Terner Cooper, Dimitris Daskalopoulos, Harry David, Gail May Engelberg, Nicki Harris, Ronnie Heyman, Dakis Joannou, Barbara Lane, Sondra Mack, Linda Macklowe, Peter Norton, Willem Peppler, Tonino Perna, Elizabeth Richebourg Rea, Simonetta Seragnoli, David Teiger, and Elliot K. Wolk, 2002

Matthew Barney’s CREMASTER cycle (1994–2002) is a self-enclosed aesthetic system consisting of five feature-length films that explore processes of creation. The cycle unfolds not just cinematically but also through the photographs, drawings, sculptures, and installations the artist produces in conjunction with each episode. Its conceptual departure point is the male cremaster muscle, which controls testicular contractions in response to external stimuli. The project is rife with anatomical allusions to the position of the reproductive organs during the embryonic process of sexual differentiation: CREMASTER 1 (1995) represents the most “ascended” or undifferentiated state; CREMASTER 5 (1997), the most “descended” or differentiated. The cycle repeatedly returns to those moments during early sexual development in which the outcome of the process is still unknown—in Barney’s metaphoric universe, these moments represent a condition of pure potentiality.
