The Society of the Four Arts Presents “Upon the Sea.” Palm Beach, Florida, March 11 – April 9 Sailing meets sculpture in an outdoor presentation of two America’s Cup winners racing into the wind. Models of America3, the 1992 winner, and the Italian yacht she beat, II Morro di Venezia, will be on display. The boats are supported with minimal structure under them, so that they appear to be sailing on land, leaning into the wind. Tethered to the ground with a network of rod rigging, they demonstrate the principles of sailing. Described as “inspiring awe,” the exhibit created a stir when displayed at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston last year; it drew large crowds. Rodger Martin Designs created the project for the maritime collection of William I. Koch. The collection is one of the largest and most diversified collections of maritime antiques and art in the world. It includes art by Winslow Homer, Claude Monet, Frederic Remington; 19th century navigation instruments, ships figureheads; furniture such as lap desks, day beds.
