Chers Amis, Nous sommes heureux de vous accueillir pour une saison absolument fantastique à Saint Barth. L’île est animée et débordante d’activité.

Connue pour ses restaurants gastronomiques, dont beaucoup proposent des menus signés par des chefs français renommés, pour son calendrier culturel chargé, pour ses courses de voile, pour ses boutiques de créateurs et pour ses méga-yachts à quai dans le port de Gustavia, l’île de Saint-Barth évoque le luxe. Mais dans les coulisses, le charme de la vieille école est toujours présent, si vous savez où regarder.

Luxury Art Book résume l’esprit de l’île : l’élégance décontractée ! Vous pouvez profiter de chambres d’hôtel, de suites et de villas privées vraiment exceptionnelles tout en laissant la brise tropicale ébouriffer vos cheveux pendant que vous vous jetez dans les vagues ou que vous courez le long de la plage.

L’édition personnalisée de cette année comporte des folios de magnifiques photographies qui mettent non seulement en valeur l’excellence architecturale de l’île, mais aussi sa beauté naturelle, des eaux turquoises scintillantes aux criques cachées et aux plages magnifiques. Aucune autre île des Caraïbes n’est comparable.

Profitez de votre séjour sur notre belle île !

Sincèrement,

Bruno Ackenin Éditeur et Fondateur Luxury Art Book

Dear Friends, We are happy to welcome you to an absolutely fantastic season in Saint Barth. The island is bustling and abuzz with activity.

Known for its gourmet restaurants, many with signature menus created by acclaimed French chefs, a robust cultural calendar, and sailing races, as well as designer boutiques and mega-yachts at the dock in the Port of Gustavia, the island of Saint Barth evokes a sense of luxury. But behind the scenes, there is still a taste of oldschool charm, if you know where to look.

Luxury Art Book sums up the spirit of the island: relaxed elegance! You can enjoy truly exceptional hotel rooms, suites, and private villas while at the same time letting the tropical breeze ruffle your hair while you splash into the waves or run along the beach.

KAY QUATTROCCHI

Wall of Light

Living on St. Barthélemy for the last 28 years, Kay Quattrocchi is an artist passionate about astrophysics and the link between consciousness and the universe.

She likes to stage: our multidimensions (at CERN, the European Council for Nuclear Research, they count 11 dimensions), bosons, neutrinos, the world of particles, black holes, antimatter, dark matter or Planck’s Wall... it’s her artistic world.

Her greatest achievement is a patent, «the Wall of Light», exhibited in front of the Collectivity of St. Barthélemy since 2016.

Her patent includes an invention that has never been seen before: works of art that light up in swimming pools, in the partitions between two rooms, on the oor, on the ceiling, on stairs, etc.

OCEANFRONT BEAUTY Palm trees, waves lapping against the shore, turquoise waters as far as the eye can see. The blue of the sea dotted with surfers or sailboats zipping by. An incredibly beautiful oceanfront setting where the dramatic swimming pool beckons you for a refreshing dip before relaxing on a chaise lounge to soak up the sun or seek shade under a parasol. The ambiance is laidback chic, an idyllic way to enjoy your tropical retreat.

Space Gallery St Barth will exclusively present a curated selection of these newly rediscovered images in The Vintage Collection. Undeniably a part of fashion and art history, each featured piece is infused with a sense of nostalgic charm. These pieces serve to remind us that timeless moments are just that - the metamorphisis of the ephemeral into the iconic. This winter, Space Gallery St Barth eelebrates ten years as the gallery of reference in St Barth and an art advocate on island and abroad, and will launch the season in its newly renovated boutique gallery in the Carre D'Or, nestled in the bustling heart of Gustavia. An exhibition with a curated selection from the archives of these newly rediscovered and never before exhibited images - many of which were captured on the island of St Barth is scheduled to take place in late January 2022. All pieces are all part of a very small limited series of just seven editions numbered and signed by the artist. Additionally, a limited edition fine art book (the artist's sixteenth such publication - but whose counting?!) - will be released to accompany the collection.

To request a preview of The Collection or to reserve your copy of the book, contact Space Gallery St Barth at info@spacestbarth.com
