Upcoming Exhibitions & Special Events in the Arts

The Guggenheim:

Artist Maurizio Cattelan, a "provacteur, prankster, and poet," has designed some stunning hyperrealist sculptures that are radical critiques of the abuse of power and authority structures. The Guggeinheim describes Cattelan's work as ranging from "creative theft" to outright criminal activity, referring to the time he stole another artists' work and passed it off as his own, entitled "Another Fucking Readymade." Bedevilded wit and sharp ironic humor weave their way into his masterpieces, which are on display through 22 January 2012.

1071 5th Avenue
New York, NY 10128
212.423.3500

Museum of Modern Art:

In the early 1930s, Diego Rivera set records for attendance at the MoMA. It was the second monographic exhibition after Matisse. After 80 years, Rivera's works are again on exhibition at the museum. In addition to the mural panels, the show will have drawings and archival materials that reflect Rivera's cosmpolitan life - a man who lived in Russia, the United States, and Mexico. A creator of incredibly political work, his paintings reflect a fascinating era. He is also famous for being the husband of fellow painter Frida Kahlo. On view now through 14 May 2012.

11 West 53rd St.
New York, NY 10019
212.708.9400

New York Historical Society:

Santa Claus, believe it or not, is a New Yorker. A Chelsea-born one, to be specific, born from the children's poem that begins "'Twas the night before Christmas..." The exhibition at The New York Historical Society features an installation of the modern day Santa Claus, quite different from the original St. Nicholas, who was the patron of Old Dutch New York. Whether or not you celebrate Christmas, this exhibition is a lovely opportunity to explore the history of New York City, and is on view through 8 January 2012.

New York, NY 10024

Outdoors, in Luxembourg - New York Inspired:

Perhaps inspired by New York City's Highline Park, AllesWirdGut Architektur has turned an old steel mill into an outdoor park, maintaining much of the old structure. The design incorporates the old with the new, combining materials like concrete, wood, and and untreated steel with rough detailing in order to pay heed to the space's history as a steel mill. Read more about it here.

Restaurants & Sweet Endings

Last month, a client asked us for some dessert recommendations in Paris. We thought to share our secret with everyone, including, of course, where we go in Manhattan to get the best of Paris.

Pierre Hermé - the line is worth it at this tiny shop in near St. Sulpice, where you can taste roses and stare in awe at the creations that are as beautiful as they taste. http://www.pierreherme.com/
72 rue Bonaparte, in the 6th
185 rue Vaurigard, in the 15th

Christian Constant - what could be more festive than visiting this location for the famed bûche de Nöel (Yule Log)? Also try some of the unsual but wonderful flavors available, such as cardamom.
37 rue d'Assas, in the 6th

Patrick Roger - nothing short of exquisite works of art, these boutiques are home to stunning design and chocolate. A must-see and try, and with a grand total of seven shops in Paris and an online store, there's no excuse. Let us know what you think. http://www.patrickroger.com/en/index.php

Macaron Café - authentic Parisian sweets. Zagat ranked their quality at a 24, and promises nostalgia and instant transportation by way of flavor to Paris. http://macaroncafe.com/
625 Madison Avenue (entrance on 59th)
161 West 36th St. (between Broadway and 7th)

Mille-Feuille - a new French bakery and coffee shop with delicious pastrys, macarons, croissants, authentic French sandwiches, made with all natural, organic ingredients.

Crème Brûlée - sold in three flavors from San Francisco, these treats make excellent gifts or indulgences for the holidays. http://sweetcremebrulee.foodzie.com/

Cannelés - This Philadelphia bakery pays hommage to the decadent chocolate dusted, custard filled miniature cake. http://www.marketdaycanele.com/

Ladurée - You've probably heard that the famed Parisian pâtisserie has now opened in New York, but have you been? We must insist you go, if not for a taste, then for the sight of perfect macarons. http://www.laduree.fr/
864 Madison Avenue (between 70th and 71st)
