Kahn was never as eloquent as many of his peers, and his disheveled, shambling demeanor lost him more than one commission (Jacque- line Kennedy, after paying his Philadelphia office a visit, proceeded to select the dapper I.M.

But his monumental works, including the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas, the Salk Institute in La Jolla, California, and the National Assembly Building in Dhaka, Bangladesh, have achieved vir- tually mythic status.

The curved ceilings of the 1962 Clever house foreshadow the famous vaults that diffuse light so beautifully at the Kimbell. The double-height rooms with inset panels of the 1973 Korman house echo those on a grander scale at the Yale Center for British Art.

WHAT’S NEXT IN GOOD TASTE Call it a feast for the eyes. “Art and Appetite: American Painting, Culture, and Cuisine,” a new exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago, takes an expansive look at the many ways artists have represented this country’s favorite pas- time: eating. A number of the more than 75 works on dis- play are food porn, pure and simple, such as Raphaelle Peale’s sumptuous Still Life—Strawberries, Nuts, &c, from 1822, left, or Wayne Thiebaud’s rows of colorfully frosted cakes. Claes Oldenburg’s soft sculpture of an enormous fried egg, as well as Roy Lichtenstein’s comic-strip–style paintings of beefsteak and turkey, turn supermarket sta- ples into Pop art icons, while antique silver serving dishes and painted platters point to our penchant for dressing up dinner. The most affecting pieces here cast an eye on our dining habits, whether alone—Edward Hopper’s famous portrait of a melancholy woman under the harsh lights of an Automat—or together, as in the many 19th- century genre scenes depicting festive holiday gather- ings.

WHAT’S NEXT ALL THAT GLITTERS In 1912, workmen digging in a cellar in London’s Cheapside district stumbled upon a cache of highly rare jewels from the late 16th and early 17th centuries, possibly buried by a goldsmith during the English Civil War. The collection— which includes priceless gems from as far away as India and South America—ended up scattered among various museums. Now, for the first time since their discov- ery, all 500 pieces will be reunited for “The Cheap- side Hoard: London’s Lost Jewels,” an exhibition at the Museum of London sponsored by haute jeweler Fabergé and leading stone-miner Gem- fields. Among the riches are, clockwise from left, a sapphire and spinel pendant, a monkey carved from quartz cat’s-eye, a one-of-a-kind emer- ald watch, and a salamander brooch of gold, diamonds, and cabochon emeralds (through April 27, 2014; museum of london.org.uk).

VALLEY VIEWS The spectacular landscape of New York’s Hudson Valley may have inspired its own art movement in the 19th century, but that doesn’t mean it couldn’t use a little grooming. In Private Gardens of the Hudson Valley (Monacelli), writer Jane Garmey and photogra- pher John M. Hall document the ways homeowners have shaped this lush area of rolling hills and dramatic vistas. Some gardens are naturalistic; others, like a Japanese-style circle of raked stone and boulders set amid a forested hill, shown, seem almost surreal.

Though he dislikes the term luxury—“It’s overused,” he says—Marino creates retail spaces for some of the world’s most unabashedly luxurious brands. Somehow, he juggles both Chanel and Dior as clients, a skillful trick that last year earned him one of France’s highest honors when he was decorated as a Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. An avid art collector and an artist himself, Marino says that “the triple play of art, architecture, and fashion is what most excites me.

IDEAS TO BRIGHTEN INDUSTRIAL CHIC SPACES Rich textures, patinated wood, repurposed metals, aged iron, brick, stone, and vintage fixtures are a few elements that are used to form the edgy, urban “Industrial ® Chic” design trend. Hudson Valley Lighting ’s exquisite fixtures elevate any space with nostalgic, period–inspired lighting featuring details such as early–electric socket holders. “Edison style” carbon filament bulbs, hung alone or paired with wire guards and metal shades, are reminiscent of factory lighting from the 1930s. Other collections by Hudson Valley Lighting replicate factory workbench lamps and overhead lights with iconic “RLM Warehouse Shades,” engineered with the latest in LED technology. Vintage lighting is reimagined with the use of these modern innovations, quality craftsmanship, and meticulous attention to detail. David Littman is founder and chairman of Littman ® Brands—parent company of Hudson Valley Lighting , as well as Corbett Lighting and Troy Lighting. From the Hudson River Valley based headquarters and design studio, an in-house team creates unique and original heirloom fixtures. Immersed in the lighting industry for more than 35 years, Littman possesses an infectious exuberance for his work and plays an integral part in creating and producing each design to his discerning standards.
