Time For Fun

by Seward Johnson

Out Of Sight

by Seward Johnson

Revisiting The Familiar: Seward Johnson At The Gardens Seward Johnson (1930-2020) was a visionary, artist and philanthropist that established an international community of artists with the Johnson Atelier in Hamilton, NJ, later going on to create Grounds For Sculpture, a 42-acre nonprofit sculpture park, museum, and arboretum on the site of the former New Jersey State Fairgrounds.

A recipient of the International Sculpture Center’s 2019 Lifetime Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award, Seward passed away at the age of 89 in March of 2020, but the Atelier continues his legacy, producing and preserving works of art and design, while creating cultural experiences and expanding artistic possibility.

I

n addition to the exhibit at Old Westbury Gardens, Seward’s work is featured in collections worldwide with select exhibitions in Plant City, FL, Elkhart, IN, and Wildwood, NJ this summer.

“Re-Visiting the Familiar: Seward Johnson at Old Westbury Gardens” features 35 individual pieces focusing on sculptural commentary about dayto-day life and Johnson’s love of nature and French impressionism. New to the

exhibition is a selection from the artist’s “Icon” series, which explores familiar images portrayed in a different light, as well as the debut of a never-before-seen composition.

Prior to becoming a well-known sculptor, Johnson was a painter who painted primarily on canvas with acrylics. Once his career as a sculptor flourished, his painting projects subsided—except for one unique format, painted trays. Each of the paintings hung in the House allow a rare window through

Seward’s eyes, featuring his sculptures and views at Ground For Sculpture. A display of Seward’s unrealized maquettes, or studies, recently cast in plaster, will also be shown in Westbury House, as well as a small selection of work from artist Herk van Tongeren, friend and colleague to Johnson. An architect at heart, his work predominantly consists of three-dimensional, geometrical objects positioned within a stage-like setting.

Who Was Herk Van Tongeren?

From 1976 until the time of his death in 1987, van Tongeren was the president and executive director at the Johnson Atelier Technical Institute of Sculpture. By helping establish the Atelier and its master apprentice system, he inspired young sculptors to

follow him from California to New Jersey to hone their skills, and attracted many prominent artists from around the world to create their work there. His influences are intrinsically intertwined in the histories of both the Atelier and Grounds For Sculpture.

A small selection of van Tongeren’s work from the Atelier’s collection is featured at Old Westbury Gardens to honor his memory, as well as to offer an opportunity to become acquainted with a unique body of work and to understand the importance of pursuing and developing one’s own sculptural language.

“Re-Visiting the Familiar: Seward Johnson at Old Westbury Gardens” is on view through Sept. 5.

The Deignan family with Michael and David Gueli his wife Joan, co-honoree and a former New York City special education teacher and ardent advocate of cancer research, who together, celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary on the day the event was held.

“The work we do as part of the Children in Bloom initiative helps to cultivate an appreciation of nature in children and families as we strive to develop a lasting legacy of environmental consciousness and preservation,” said Large.

Once again supported by the Cana Foundation, the fundraiser was a great

success with proceeds benefiting Old Westbury Gardens and its ongoing education initiatives.

Reichenberger said, “We have a very busy schedule of school groups and scout groups—people coming from everywhere.

A wide variety of learners—all ages, all backgrounds, all learning styles—who are able to come here and find the knowledge they seek right amid the over 200-acre landscape and in beautiful Westbury House because of this Children in Bloom advocacy.”

Hudson Valley Distillery Pioneers Whiskey Movement As a pioneer of the American craft whiskey movement, Hudson Whiskey started out like many New York stories, with a daring proposition. In this case, to make New York’s first bourbon ever and to open the first distillery in the state since Prohibition.

Hudson Whiskey was invented with a rebellious mindset to create a bold American whiskey unlike any other within the category, from a place unlike any other in the world, New York. From the majestic views of the Hudson Valley to the bright lights of Broadway, Hudson Whiskey is a celebration of New York spirit and the brilliant, creative, and resilient people who call it home.

T

spicy, with notes of citrus and honey and a bright mint finish, Do The Rye Thing is as iconic as the classic New York slice.

In the city that never sleeps, the diner is an institution. Short Stack is a toast to those late-night haunts, and the characters that inhabit them. Distilled from hearty New York rye, mellowed in American oak, then finished in Vermont maple syrup barrels.

Hudson Whiskey sends its ex-bourbon barrels across the Atlantic where they’re used to age peated whiskey, then emptied and returned to the Hudson distillery where they are filled again with straight rye whiskey. There’s nothing sinister about it, it’s just how the world works. A bit of smoke, a bit of spice. Good enough to seal the Back Room Deal.

Ingredients: • 2 parts Hudson Bright Lights, Big Bourbon • ¾ part fresh lime juice • ¾ part demerara simple syrup • 6 to 8 basil leaves, torn Method: Add all to cocktail shaker with ice and shake until chilled. Fine strain up into coupe glass. Garnish with fresh basil leaf— slap before serving to release aromatics.

Demerara simple syrup—1:1 simple syrup using demerara or turbinado sugar.

NEW MONEY OLD FASHIONED

Ingredients: • 2 Parts Hudson Bright Lights, Big Bourbon Whiskey • 1 spoonful of demerara simple syrup • 1 to 2 dashes aromatic bitters Method: Add all ingredients to mixing glass with ice and stir until well-chilled, then strain into an old fashioned/rocks glass over a

large chunk of ice. Cut a generous slice of orange zest, express orange oils over drink, garnish with zest and serve.

Hudson Whiskey’s complexity and range allows for versatility and innovation in classic cocktails and modern mixology as well as a smooth and balanced tasting experience neat, on the rocks, or with a splash of water.

he distillery is distributing five distinct whiskeys, Four Part Harmony, Bright Lights Big Bourbon, Do The Rye Thing, Short Stack and Back Room Deal.

Four Part Harmony is a newly released bourbon whiskey aged a minimum of seven years. Made in New York from 100 percent locally sourced grains, Four Part Harmony is a limited edition release.

Never one to shy away from the spotlight, Bright Lights, Big Bourbon is a bold, grain-forward, no-holds-barred straight bourbon whiskey. Distilled from New York corn and aged in new charred American oak barrels, with notes of rich vanilla and lightly salted caramel on the finish, it shines brighter than the rest.

New York’s first straight whiskey in nearly a century, in a style all its own. Bold and

Exhibition:

‘Chris Lloyd Paintings 1980-1990’ Chris Lloyd was born in 1959 on Long Island. As a child, Lloyd showed incredible potential as an artist. He would sit for hours drawing his favorite cartoon characters and classic movie monsters. Lloyd feverishly created detailed comics and storyboards which eventually led to making elaborate sets and props for his own stop motion creations.

A

s a young adult Lloyd studied painting at The Students Art League, Manhattan (1975-1976).

He also studied at The School of Visual Arts, Manhattan (1977-1979) and Southampton College (1980-82) where he received a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts.

Lloyd studied under great artists including Peter Heinemann, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Munford and Jack Bush.

Following college, Lloyd was quite prolific in the studio and exhibited his work regularly throughout the Hamptons and Manhattan.

In the 1980s, Chris was able to produce a powerful body of work. His paintings are a harmonious collision of contradicting art movements and ‘isms’.

Through Aug. 26, Sid Jacobson Jewish Community Center (SJJCC) will host the “Chris Lloyd 1980-1990” exhibition, which is open to the public.

“When we were first contacted by Abby [Lloyd] to exhibit her uncle’s work we were

touched once we understood the history of these pieces,” said Jaime Teich, vice president of brand strategy and communications for SJJCC artSPACE. “Being chosen as the facility to exhibit the work of her late uncle, feeling the pride Abby experienced as she curated each piece, seeing the emotions she and her father shared as they hung each piece, brought us to a new level of understanding what artSPACE could be. artSPACE is not only an avenue to exhibit beautiful community work, it’s a place for healing, connection and growth.”

Though Lloyd’s work expresses playful irreverence, his approach was disciplined and rooted in art history. His works are clever, but it’s his ability and dedication to rendering that elevate these paintings into modern masterpieces.

This exhibition was co-curated by Lloyd’s niece Abby Lloyd and Chris’s brother Steve Lloyd.

Lloyd’s career was tragically cut short in the early 1990s when he endured a

“Blue Odol” by Lloyd

14B | GOLD COAST LIVING • JULY 20 - 26, 2022

life-altering car accident. He suffered a severe brain injury, leaving him paralyzed from the neck down. Lloyd lived for 17 years after his catastrophic accident. He died in 2009.

Although Lloyd endured significant injuries his spirit never wavered. He loved to laugh and always had a smile on his face.

This is the first exhibition of Lloyd’s artwork since his car accident.

“SJJCC and our members are thrilled about the re-emergence of our art gallery, artSPACE,” Teich said. “Re-launching in January 2022 with the interesting multi-media works of Alan Richards, ‘Human Nature,’ magnificent pieces of art created by members in the community bring life to our walls and conversation to those who view each exhibit.”

She added, “Having the Nassau County Museum of Art right across the street where the works of famous artists can be seen, it is a wonderful moment for Sid Jacobson JCC to be able to return to featuring the talents of the members who make up this vibrant community.”

Sid Jacobson Jewish Community Center is located at 300 Forest Dr., in Greenvale.

Some popular classics at the bar include a dirty martini, mai tai, Long Island iced tea and margaritas.

For an appetizer you will want to try the egg roll sampler (combination of Philly cheesesteak, chicken parmigiana, bolognese or cheese filled), the Asian vegetable pesto dumplings (vegetable pot stickers served steamed or fried over a bed of Napa cabbage, topped with a delicious pesto sauce and parmesan cheese) or the classic buffalo and garlic fried chicken wings.

or a century, the Gold Coast has figured into the cultural life of Long Island, from the 1924 publication of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby to the Gold Coast Film Festival which thrives to this day.

For Long Island, as with the rest of America, World War II was the dividing line in its history. Prior to the war, Long Island was a mixture of mansions and potato farmers. After the war, suburbia.

It was a long time coming. The area was settled in the 17th century. Long Island was then under Dutch control. It didn’t last long. The British, with their superior navies, soon overwhelmed the Dutch and became the sole masters of the island.

Whaling was the main industry on the island. In the mid-19th century, the Industrial Revolution hit America’s shores. Financiers made fortunes in railroads, steel, and soon, automobiles.

Many of them set up mansions on the

North Shore. The Gold Coast was born.

By 1890, the mansion building boom was underway. The industrialists of that era: the Vanderbilts, Astors, Whitneys, J.P. Morgan and F.W. Woolworth, among others, found a refugee from the business world. Over 500

mansions were constructed during that golden era. The Vanderbilts and the Astors lived and entertained in mansions designed by such greats as Stanford White, Guy Lowell, and John Russell Pope. The architectural styles were English Tudor, French

Chateau, Georgian, Gothic, Mediterranean, Norman, Roman, and Spanish. Among the most spectacular were the Old Westbury Gardens, the former home of U.S. Steel magnate John Shaffer Phipps and the Oheka Castle, home to financer Otto Kahn,

a mansion reputed to be the second largest in America, after the Vanderbilt House in Asheville, North Carolina. Another prominent mansion that still stands today is Sagamore Hill, which Theodore Roosevelt called home.

The 1920s surely were the heyday of the Gold Coast era. The Great Gatsby, set in Great Neck divided into “East Egg” and “West Egg” became synonymous with the wealth, glitter, and tragedy of the era as the doomed Jay Gatsby tried to graduate into the world of old money.

The decade was defined not just by Fitzgerald’s novels and stories, but also Charles Lindbergh’s 1927 solo flight across the Atlantic. In one 33-hour flight, Lindbergh became the most famous man on the planet. He took off from Roosevelt Field on Long Island and landed on a field in France. The locals in that European country treated Lindbergh as a hero who

was also one of their own. Americans were not to be outdone. Lindbergh was treated to a ticker tape parade on Broadway, one that was attended by no less than four million people. Later that night, he was feted at a gala dinner at the home of Clarence MacKay’s Roslyn Estates mansion.

The Mackay mansion was filled with guests and well-wishers. The June 14, 1927 New York Times dedicated the top fold of its entire front page to the parade with numerous articles on the man. One of those articles described the evening. Lindbergh and his mother, accompanied by New York City Mayor Jimmy Walker, arrived at the Mackay mansion at around 9 p.m. Clarence Mackay had invited Lindbergh to take a nice swim in the mansion’s outdoor pool.

The aviator, running late, declined. A gala dinner was held in Lindbergh’s honor.

Among the attendees were not just the mayor, but such notables as Mrs. Theodore

Old Westbury Gardens

Oheka Castle

Roosevelt, John W. Davis, the Democratic Party’s 1924 presidential nominee and Pierpont Morgan.

The night was a success. The Times’ reporter waxed eloquently.

“At the summit, Colonel Lindbergh came to Mr. Mackay’s famous Versailles garden where flood lights concealed in the shrubbery and on the roof bathed the scene in soft gray light, in competition with the real moon shining in the sky…Far to the west could be seen the twinkling lights of New York’s towers; below, on the Sound, were steamers threading their way through the night. It was like the fairyland which Colonel Lindbergh himself described after piloting his plane at night, above the clouds, by moonlight.”

Afterwards, Lindbergh retreated to the mansion of Captain Harry Guggenheim in Sands Point to write his best-selling memoir, We, and to court his future bride,

Vanderbilt Mansion

Anne Morrow.

That evening represented a zenith in the life of the Gold Coast. It seemed that the good times would last. History never stands still. Two years later, overlending practices caused the stock market to crash.

The grim of the 1930s came to their own end with America’s entry into World War II. After the war, the middle class continued its 1920s-style boom. This era was different, Car culture, the desire for home ownership and the changing demographics of New York City ushered in the age of suburbia.

The Gold Coast was a victim. Mansions went down, housing tracts were constructed. Only about 200 of the original 500 mansions survive. All is not lost. Some of these mansions live on as museums. That includes the Frick mansion as the Nassau County Museum of Art and Sagamore Hill as a museum to the life and legacy of Theodore Roosevelt.

one of three entree items from the “prime cuts” section (steak stir fry, filet mignon or the Marco Polo teriyaki burger). For something a little in between, choose from a selection of personal flatbread pizzas or a generous helping of one of three pasta plates (penne alla sake, penne al romano or American-style meatballs over Asian noodles).

Save room for one of the decadent desserts too. In addition to specialty coffees or after-dinner cocktails, you will have a tough time deciding betweeen the wildly popular s’mores egg rolls (chocolate chips and marshmallows hand-rolled and deep fried in an egg roll shell), a brownie sundae, a New York-style cheesecake or a freshly baked plate of Grandma’s cookies (assortment of chocolate chip, double chocolate, oatmeal and lemon cookies).

Marco Polo’s kitchen staff will accommodate dining requests for pint-sized guests, including butter pasta, hamburgers, fries and chicken fingers.

The hotel and restaurant are friendly and accommodating. The wait staff is knowledgeable about the menu and is willing to make some dining suggestions.

Free valet and metered street parking are available.

The restaurant is open Monday through Friday from 4 to 11 p.m., Saturday and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Happy

Hour specials are available from Tuesday through Thursday.

Marco Polo’s is located inside the Inn at Great Neck at 30 Cutter Mill Rd. Brasserie Americana, a French American bistro, formerly occupied the restaurant space.

The newly reimaged fusion East meets West dining experience reopened just a few weeks ago.

The restaurant can accommodate private and semi-private events, up to 30 people for events such as corporate events, birthdays, anniversaries and other special celebrations. There is also a private VIP dining room that can accommodate up to eight guests and offers leather seating, television and adjustable lighting to set any mood.

You are likely to get easy seating during the week, but reservations are highly recommended for Thursday through Sunday and especially on days when there is much fanfare happening just down the avenue at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, such as changes in command, graduations and high-ranking official visits.

Dine-in, patio service and curbside pickup are available. Delivery service is not available.
