NEW YORK, NEW YORK Exhibition is a visual love letter to City’s most beloved icons The following interview is excerpted from “Collecting New York: Elie Hirschfeld in Conversation” in the catalogue for the exhibition Scenes of New York City: The Elie and Sarah Hirschfeld Collection. This exhibition has been organized by the New-York Historial Society. The catalogue will be available for purchase at the Four Arts Customer Service desk. Curator Wendy N.E. Ikemoto (WI) and Elie Hirschfeld (EH) spoke on December 11, 2020. Ikemoto will lecture on the exhibition January 19, 2024 at 10:30 a.m. in the Walter S. Gubelmann Auditorium. Admission is no charge, but reservations are required. WI: This catalogue and exhibition celebrate the groundbreaking Elie and Sarah Hirschfeld promised gift that you and your wife made to the New-York Historical Society. Could you tell me how your collection began? EH: The collection began nearly forty years ago. My interest in art started long before. My parents, Zipora and Abe Hirschfeld, immigrants from Poland and Israel, always displayed art and Judaica in the home where I grew up. However, important art came into our lives during the early 1970s recession when my parents bought a new home on Fifth Avenue that had a marvelous art collection. All of a sudden, we had important art at home, including a monumental twelve-foot-wide Frank Stella. My mother later bequeathed this piece to me.

Fall 2023 Folio | fourarts.org

When I was at Brown University, I took courses in art history and art appreciation. These courses moved me and instilled in me an interest in art that continues to this day. After I graduated from New York University School of Law, I started practicing at a large Wall Street law firm, Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy. The firm had beautiful art in the reception area and halls. A particularly powerful work of art to me then, and even now, was the giant Jean Dubuffet sculpture in the plaza next to the Chase Bank Building where I worked. The next phase of life that led me to think about collecting was the period from 1972 to 1980 when I lived in SoHo, then emerging as an artists’ neighborhood. They were moving into industrial lofts because space was inexpensive. I went to the nearby galleries and studios and became inspired to start a collection. Sometime later, I did, when I found a piece by Thomas Hart Benton. That was a transcendent moment. I saw the work and fell in love with it and immediately realized: this is the art that I want to collect for my lifetime - important original art scenes of New York City by important artists. The breadth of this subject is infinite - like New York itself. There is no other city like New York, and I believe our collection embodies that feeling.

WI: Do you have any stories you’d like to share about your encounters with artists? EH: Of course! We can start with Andy Warhol. That was so much fun. We were invited to his studio for lunch. It was the centennial anniversary of the Brooklyn Bridge in 1983. Andy was very friendly and showed us around the studio. The studio had large windows overlooking Union Square Park. As we stood there, I said to him, “Do you see that building in construction at the southeast corner of the Park?” “Sure.” “That’s a building I am developing.” He said, “Really!” I said, “Yes, it’s going to be quite big, with 684 apartments over a large commercial base.” As soon as I mentioned this to Andy, I realized it was a mistake, because from that moment on, he wanted to talk more about real estate than about art. When I asked him about art, he said, “Art doesn’t matter. It’s all over the place.” In fact, his art was all over the place. His art was even all over his floors. He actually walked on his art! He was very friendly and open. It was a treat. Françoise Gilot was with Pablo Picasso for ten years and is the mother of Paloma and Claude Picasso. She is an accomplished artist and author

in her own right. A dear skier friend of mine who owns an art gallery out West introduced me to her. She is a very beautiful, thoughtful, and brilliant woman in her nineties. There were many paintings in her Manhattan studio. I related to her that I only collect scenes of New York and asked if she had anything on that subject. She replied that she did not. She was kind enough to show me several pieces anyway, including one she presented saying it was recently done. “It is called Gingko Trees,” she told me. I happen to love gingko trees and bonded with her over that. I asked, “Where are those trees?” She replied, “They are just down the block.” She lives off Central Park on Central Park West near Lincoln Center. I said to her, “I would love to have that picture. I would like to buy it from you. Would you be so kind as to retitle it Gingko Trees in Central Park?” She replied that she would be very happy to retitle it. I think about this piece often as I regularly run in Central Park. I know where the trees are because their fruit has a particularly pungent smell. There are gingko trees along the running route on the West Side, down the block from the home and studio of Gilot. Every time I go by, I think of my visit with her.

WI: Do you have any favorite pieces in the collection? EH: I’m often asked this question - particularly when people visit my homes where we have many pieces on display. I often begin by noting that Sarah and I have ten children and three grandchildren and would never say we have a favorite. In the same way, it is hard for me to think of having a favorite piece of art. However, there are many that are uniquely special to me for different reasons. I love my first picture - the Benton. I love the gift from my wife Sarah, a Léger. I love the Chagall - a picture of Central Park drawn, I believe, from my own apartment. Chagall came to New York in 1958 and stayed at the Stanhope Hotel, which was converted to the residential building where we live. The angles and position of the Met Museum and other details suggest that it was drawn from my apartment or the one above or below. I love my O’Keeffe - for thirty years I never thought I would own a piece by this artist I adore. I love the Gleizes: Cubism with “Offices to Let” above my working desk at home. I love the Grooms, living actively and large in our living room. I love the Rockwell - how could I not? I love the Marsh that represents to me the heart of the collection, if there is a heart. So I have favorites for all these different reasons. But one favorite? That’s too tough for me.

WI: Why have you decided to donate your collection now? EH: It is a perfect time. I am at that stage of life - seventy - which makes it seem like the right moment. Hopefully, I will have many years to enjoy seeing the collection at the Museum. I am very happy about doing this now - as is Sarah and my whole family. Frankly, I cannot fully imagine what it is going to be like to go to this great museum and see my art there. I am not sure I will be able to manage my emotions .... It is going to be something very special. I am so excited. I have never seen my entire collection at one time. I have pieces in my homes and offices, in closets, many resting on the floor or leaning against walls, and many in storage. Can you imagine, I have a Rothko of a New York subway - I have never hung it. There are many others like that - such beautiful art. So it will be beyond belief to see the collection together at the Museum. I am also very moved to know that there will be a named gallery there for Sarah and me. I recently looked up the history of the gallery named for Luman Reed and learned that he gave his collection to the Museum two hundred years ago. And Dexter Hall was named after Henry Dexter who helped fund the building that opened on Central Park West more than a hundred years ago. It is beyond words for me to think that our name and collection - like theirs - will be attached to the Museum. I hope my children and grandchildren and so on will enjoy seeing it there too.

WI: What would you like visitors to take away from the exhibition? EH: Oh, whatever they want! I think that every visitor will come away with a different response. You know, somebody will say, “Oh, I love that spot. That’s where I go.” Or, “Oh, I love this artist.” Or, “Oh, that’s a different view of New York than what I’ve seen.” I’m looking right now at a work in my office of a horse and buggy going through Central Park. Somebody will say, “Oh, yes, I did that.” I think everyone is going to have a different take on it. I hope it excites people and further connects them to this great city. WI: I am certain it will. EH: I must say it has been joyous for Sarah and me to work with the Historical Society leadership in making this commitment. We are very excited. We are so happy about this in every way.

FLOWER POWER Sculpture Garden hosts photography exhibition By David Darby The Four Arts

The seeds of The Four Arts’ garden exhibition, Flora Imaginaria: The Flower in Contemporary Photography, were planted in the late 1980s. “Thirty-five years ago, it occurred to me, as I was looking at a lot of photography past and present, that almost every photographer of importance had photographed flowers at some point in their careers,” said co-curator William A. Ewing. “All the big names of the 19th century and the 20th century — each had one or even many fabulous flower pictures. And yet there was no exhibition or book celebrating this rich practice.” Ewing’s work led to the publication of Flora Photographica in 1991, and to revisit the subject again 30 years later with co-curator Danaé Panchaud, looking at contemporary flower photography since 1990. “We had this specific focus,” Panchaud said, “and I think entering through the world of flowers is a wonderful way to approach the field of photography and discover the many things it is about. There is an incredible abundance of floral productions of exquisite quality.” Selections from the second Flora Photographica (2022) book make up the Flora Imaginaria exhibition, celebrating the beauty and biodiversity of flowers in 71 photographs by 49 internationally acclaimed artists. The exhibition is organized by the Foundation for the Exhibition of Photography, Minneapolis / Paris / Lausanne, and the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in Sarasota, Fla., in association with The Four Arts. This spectacular bouquet of floral imagery will be on display in the Philip Hulitar Sculpture Garden from December 2, 2023, through April 28, 2024, providing a unique experience with art in the context of nature.

“We have two sides of photography in this exhibition that I am really passionate about,” Panchaud said. “The first one is what we expect from photography, which is the depiction of nature as it is, and some of these images achieve that, they are photographs of real flowers, they are incredibly clear and sharp. I still don’t understand how they manage to do that so well. “The other side of photography is the art of the picture, the collage, the montage, the photoshopping, the manipulation of elements to create a completely new vision. You may have the feeling in this exhibition as you walk up that, oh, that’s a beautiful orchid and as you get close you realize, no, that’s a photo of something made to look like an orchid.” Flowers have been a source of inspiration for photographers since the medium’s inception. Today, flower photography remains in full bloom as contemporary photographers continue the storied tradition of depicting floral motifs in novel ways. “When you talk about flowers, people just assume they are there, they don’t even think about them, don’t really notice them, and yet they are incredibly important,” Ewing said. “Once you start thinking about flowers, you see them everywhere. They represent youth, beauty, and health. Flowers are so ingrained in our minds as life givers and the bringers of joy and happiness. Can you imagine a marriage without flowers? “We all respond to flowers is because we have evolved with them, and they with us and insects. They have adopted all these strategies to attract animal attention, in order that they will be propagated. Flowers are

indispensable to human society, there’s no society that doesn’t have flowers in some essential area.” Both Ewing and Panchaud embraced the challenge of presenting this exhibition outdoors in collaboration with Rebecca A. Dunham, the Four Arts’ head of fine arts and curator. Visitors will find large photographs printed on aluminum interspersed throughout the sculpture garden. “We wanted to make some nice encounters between the real specimens and the photographs, which bring something out from each other and have a nice

dialogue,” Panchaud said. “We really wanted to keep an element of surprise, so that when you go through the exhibition, especially outside, you never know what is going to come next.” “Sometimes the artifice is obvious in the photograph and sometimes the photographer disguises it, sometimes it’s not a real flower, some are collages or dream-like or nightmarish,” Ewing said. “Plus now a photographer is his own printer, he can manipulate the colors and the inks to get exactly what he wants. So I would say it’s a very good time to be a photographer for flowers.” fourarts.org | Fall 2023 Folio

Featured artists include Pedro Almodóvar, Valérie Belin, Daniel Gordon, Abelardo Morell, Vik Muniz, Viviane Sassen, Martin Schoeller, and Robert Walker, along with a selection of emerging artists. The exhibition is accompanied by Flora Photographica (2022), a musthave catalogue for lovers of flowers and photography alike, available for purchase at the Esther B. O’Keeffe Building customer service desk. “You can look at Flora Imaginaria as a show about flowers and may not know much about photography, or you can be a photography nut and not that interested in flowers but are intrigued to see how photographers handle the subject, or both,” Ewing said. “My hope is you gain the understanding that, in the hands of really fine photographers, you can do amazing things visually.” Ewing will lecture on the exhibition at 11 a.m. January 31 as well as lead a conversation with Walker, a Beyer Artist-in-Residence, at 3 p.m. January 24. Both programs are in the Dixon Education Building and are no charge with reservations required. “I’ve known Robert Walker for many years,” Ewing said. “He is a Canadian who moved to New York in the late 70s and lived close to Times Square, then moved back to Montreal and missed the noise and the cacophony

of colors from Times Square. Then he found himself in the botanical gardens in Montreal and found himself thinking, ‘If I take the same approach to this cacophony of color, and just look at flowers, I don’t even care about what the flower is, I’m interested in the shape and the texture and color, what can I do with it?’ He’s the best of the flower photographers who have worked in botanical gardens that I know of.”

Free Walking Tour booklets are available in the gardens or use the QR code displayed there to open the tour on your smart device (which is also available by going to www.fourarts.stqry.app). “If we think about it as a show about photography, the flower is the constant, the photographs all have a flower in them, but the variable is, how is the flower treated?” Ewing said. “Is it black and white, is it manipulated, is it romantic or kind of harsh, documentary or poetic? The photographer once he has decided to photograph a flower, he has to make all those decisions, or maybe he just does it intuitively. “I would be thrilled if people took their own pictures of the pictures and shared them, and just thought about the importance of flowers, that would make me very pleased.”

As part of The Four Arts’ Beyer Artistin Residence series, William Ewing will discuss with Robert Walker how his artistic practice evolved from photographing dense cityscapes, influenced by Pop Art painters such as Rauschenberg and Rosenquist, to an engagement with nature, photographing flowers, influenced by abstract ”Colorfield” painters.

CELEBRATE THE PROFOUND GENIUS OF BEETHOVEN Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center festival explores composer’s life through cello sonatas, piano trios and more By Wu Han The Four Arts Artistic Advisor for Classical Music

This January, the Four Arts community will have a chance to experience the great compositions of one of the greatest composers in history — Ludwig van Beethoven. The story of Ludwig van Beethoven is the most compelling in the history of music. With his revolutionary works and unprecedented personality, he changed the trajectory of music and the concept of what an artist could be. For three decades he was the most famous composer in the world, albeit with a life so begat with troubles it’s a wonder he was able to accomplish so much. The effect of his music has lasted to this day, with only a handful of the greatest composers escaping his influence. So just what was behind this extraordinary musician, one who still has virtually no equals? Why does his music resonate so profoundly with audiences the world over? Born in Bonn in 1770, he studied music rigorously and was soon a fine pianist. An abusive, alcoholic father did not help matters, except to perhaps accelerate

his son’s maturity as young Ludwig had to increasingly look after his family. When the famous composer Josef Haydn returned from a visit to London in 1792, he stopped in Bonn and met the young prodigy, offering to teach him, if he came to Vienna. This eventually happened, but it was not a long study, the fiery upstart being too much of his own mind for the traditional methods of his revered master. Within less than a decade of Beethoven’s arrival in Vienna, he was the talk of the town. He endeared himself to patrons, played his works and improvised for their salons, pursued amorous attractions (none of which worked out) and made money. With his first published works, the Piano Trios Op. 1, he put himself on the map, and from that point there was no turning back. Almost. By the year 1800, at the age of thirty, Beethoven realized he was becoming deaf. Confessing his deafness and utter despair to his brothers in the famous “Heiligenstadt Testament” (a letter written to them in the Vienna suburb of Heiligenstadt) Beethoven hinted at suicide, but also vowed to continue to fulfil his destiny and commitment to music. From there, he sought a new way of composing, on which produced works of unprecedented length and strength. Dubbed the “Heroic period,” the decade from 1802 to 1812 saw his most famous works appear, such as the Third and Fifth Symphonies, the Violin Concerto, the Fourth and Fifth Piano Concertos, and the “Razumovsky” String Quartets. He was on a roll, hitting a home run every time at bat. But if there was ever a restless soul, it was Ludwig van Beethoven. Never content to repeat himself, few works of his sound similar, yet

So, in 1812, a pivotal year for Europe, Beethoven began to search for a new voice. That voice was hard to come by: distracted by the custody suit for his nephew, and with increasing deafness and other unpleasant maladies, Beethoven experienced an unprecedented dry spell. Amazingly, it was the cello that pulled him out. In 1815 his patron Countess Erdödy celebrated her birthday during the summer at her country estate and invited Beethoven. Knowing that his friend the cellist Josef Linke would be there, he composed two sonatas for cello and piano, to be played by the Countess and Linke. And with these two sonatas — unlike music ever heard before — Beethoven opened the door to his storied, incomparable “late period”. From 1815 until the end of his life in 1827, Beethoven produced works of such profundity, mystery, wonder,

strength and ingenuity that they defy explanation. They are like no other music: not about the composer himself, but rather about the universe we live in. They are so elemental to the human experience that they speak to us with a force that is unique. Beethoven the inventor drew on music from his distant past (back to the Medieval age) and looked forward to the 21st century, composing music that still sounds frighteningly modern. How he did this, no one knows, but we do know that there was only one Beethoven, and there will likely never be another. We will present to you three concert programs that explore his life through the cycle of cello sonatas, demonstrate his contribution by comparing his piano trios to Haydn’s trios, and offer you repertoire that is hard to come by with unusual instrumentation including his great Septet. I look forward to seeing you and playing for you. fourarts.org | Fall 2023 Folio

PREPARE TO BE AMAZED! Enjoy a Magical Evening in the Gubelmann Auditorium January 8 By Taylor Hagood Special to The Four Arts

I am particularly excited about this series on magic because it provides an unusual lens through which to view history. I believe people will be surprised to find out how many famous and important people in world history performed or studied magic or had connections with magicians. The list includes some of the world’s most influential artists, actors, mathematicians, writers, religious leaders, coaches, inventors, and achievers in many other walks of life. At the same time, magic plays a role in day-to-day activities of regular people. In fact, magic has the distinction of simultaneously being the most wondrous of human experiences while also being among the most mundane aspects of everyday life. For example, all magic depends on deception, but not all deception we experience is magical. Make no mistake, this series will provide highly entertaining and educational stories of magicians’ lives. There will be the shocking story of a mysterious Chinese magician whose onstage death brought an astounding revelation. There will be the claim of a British magician who claimed to have led the military’s efforts to deceive the enemy in World War II. There will be the tale of America’s first professional magician, who was African American and whose name bears a striking resemblance to a famous fictional wizard of the early 2000s. And, of course, there is always the ever-entertaining, ever-intriguing, ever-puzzling Harry Houdini. The series will delve into the apparatus, look, and techniques of magic. The audience will not emerge as a collective of magicians — secrets can never be revealed! — but attention will be given to classics of this art form. The straitjacket escape, the linking rings, cups-and-balls, the Mascot Moth, and the most memorable of illusions will be presented, not only with details of their effects but also a consideration of why they touch people so deeply. This attention will not be limited to stage or street magic but to effects thought to have been supernatural wrought in

The History of Magic with Taylor Hagood, Ph.D. Mondays from 5:30 to 7 p.m. $175 for live performance plus 4-part series

temples of ancient Greece, Egyptian royal courts, and by the medieval alchemists who dreamed of turning regular objects into gold. Ultimately, we will ponder the essence of magic and why people want to create it while others want to be affected by it. What is it in the human heart and mind that responds so powerfully to magic, whether in the form of a parlor trick or a stage illusion for entertainment or in the form of “real” magic worked by individuals or forces under influences from beyond in the highest heights or lowest lows? What is the worth of someone making the impossible possible or materializing the most fearsome fear? When this course is over, you will see life in ways different from when you began.

FLORIDA VOICES

OUT OF THIS WORLD By Brendan Byrne Special to The Four Arts

NASA astronaut Nicole Stott trained for years ahead of her two missions to space. But none of that training prepared her for the view of Earth from above. “You weren’t ready to see out the window of the Space Shuttle or out the window of the space station either because it was just so crystal clear and overwhelmingly beautiful,” Stott told me in a 2020 interview. Stott had plenty of time to take in that view — and get used to it — after living and working in space for more than 103 days. She served as a flight engineer on the International Space Station and mission specialist on the Space Shuttle. She even painted those views from orbit using a small watercolor set she brought with her. She has shared this unique background and perspective with me in dozens of interviews over the years, covering all sorts of topics — like sleeping in space, gender equality at NASA, voting in orbit, and painting in microgravity.

Nicole Stott Back to Earth: What Life in Space Taught Me About Our Home Planet — And Our Mission to Protect It Wednesday, January 10, 2024 at 1:30 p.m. No charge Reservations required Dixon Education Building Join veteran NASA Astronaut Nicole Stott and space reporter Brendan Byrne for an exciting interview discussing Nicole’s time in space and her latest book. She will share her astroanaut experiences and discuss her post-NASA mission of bringing the healing power of art to children. Reservations available for in-person attendance, for viewing the discussion live online, or for viewing online up to 30 days following the presentation.


Stott has always worked to bring her journey in space down to Earth, including participating in the first tweet-up from space. Stott and her crewmate spent time answering questions sent to them on the station from social media followers back on the planet. After retiring from NASA in 2015, Stott continued her outreach. She founded the Space for Art Foundation aimed at sharing the awe and wonder of space exploration and the healing power of art. Her motivations, she told me, were founded in her spaceflight, and that view that was initially so overwhelming to her. Astronauts often describe the view of Earth from space as a cognitive-shifting experience. Space philosopher Frank White coined the term Overview Effect to describe the very human condition attached to space travel and seeing Earth against the blackness of space. Apollo 8 astronaut Bill Anders viewed the Earth over the horizon of the moon from some quartermillion miles away. “When I looked up and saw the Earth coming up on this very stark, beat-up Moon horizon, I was immediately almost overcome with the thought ‘Here we came all this way to the Moon, and yet the most significant thing we’re seeing is our own home planet, the Earth,’” recalled Anders. Inspired by her own insights, Stott wrote her first book Back to Earth: What Life in Space Taught Me About Our Home Planet – And Our Mission to Protect It. She charges her readers to treat themselves as space travelers and to take care of this spaceship of a planet we’re all living on, and to live our lives like crewmates, not passengers, on an inspiring and shared mission. Through her book and our many interviews, Stott has shaped the way I look at living on this planet. It is a delicate spacecraft that takes many people, all kinds of people, to keep us safe on our journey through space and time. And while most of us won’t experience the Overview Effect from space, Stott’s stories, experience, and insight can give us all new perspective on our spaceship Earth. “We live on a planet,” she reminds me each time we talk. “We are all Earthlings. And the only border that matters is that thin blue line of atmosphere that blankets and protects us all.” Florida Voices is generously supported by the Fred J. Brotherton Endowment for Literature, established at The Four Arts by the Fred J. Brotherton Charitable Foundation. Fred Brotherton, who died in 2003, was for many years a Benefactor of The Four Arts and a strong supporter of its programs. Florida Voices, featuring the state that was Mr. Brotherton’s winter home, serves as a continuing memorial to this much-respected member of The Four Arts. fourarts.org | Fall 2023 Folio
