In the bustling Chelsea Arts District, photographer Paulette Tavormina recently celebrated the opening of her latest exhibition, 'Fiori del Giardino,' at the esteemed Winston Wächter Fine Art gallery. The event, set against the backdrop of Tavormina's captivating still life photographs, drew a crowd of art enthusiasts and notable guests, immersing them in a world where classical artistry meets contemporary photography.
Tavormina's work is a modern tribute to the Golden Age Dutch old masters. She draws inspiration from the meticulous techniques of Adriaen Coorte, the harmonious compositions and color palettes of Giovanna Garzoni, and the dramatic lighting of Zurbarán. Her process involves a race against time, capturing the ephemeral beauty of freshly picked flowers and fruit from her garden to compose her still lifes.
The exhibition opening was a vibrant gathering, with guests including Tavormina's husband, Paul Pfeiffer, and the gallery’s co-owner Christine Wächter-Campbell, director Madeline Cornell, and a host of art aficionados and friends. The attendees were captivated by the striking images, which are a testament to Tavormina's skill in blending historical art techniques with her unique photographic vision.
The exhibition's highlight will be an engaging panel discussion on December 16, featuring Paulette Tavormina, Sotheby’s Old Master Paintings Specialist David Pollack, Photo Historian Gail Buckland, and Winston Wächter Fine Art Director Madeline Cornell. This conversation, titled "Modern Still Life Photography: A Tribute to the Old Masters," is free and open to the public, offering a deeper dive into the intersection of classical and contemporary art forms. 'Fiori del Giardino' will be on display until January 6, 2024, offering a unique visual journey through time and artistry.

Just listed, this $25M Chelsea townhouse at 334 West 20th Street in NYC is aiming to break a sales record it recently set.
In 2021, it sold for $22.5 Million, becoming the priciest townhouse sale in Chelsea, as reported by the WSJ. That record still stands. After an extensive redesign by AD100 firm Gachot, it's back on the market. If sold at the $25M ask, the townhouse would again set a record for the neighborhood.

A quiet corridor in the heart of Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood once again pulses with culinary vitality with the reopening of Foragers Market and their restaurant, Foragers Table. The decade-old farm-to-table favorite – which closed during the Pandemic – is now helmed by new Executive Chef Olivier Palazzo, and features his boldly reimagined “modern-Mediterranean” menu along with a far-sighted wine and cocktails program.

Worldly and well-traveled, Palazzo’s influence will also extend to the Market’s beloved “grab-and-go” grocery. And the restaurant – tucked gently just beyond the Market – will debut an after-hours live music program with a relaxed and jazzy vibe.

“Olivier embodies a younger, more international, more inclusive generation that is increasingly calling New York City home,” says Anna Castellani, who owns Foragers’ Chelsea location with partner Michael D’Amato. “His mix of cuisines and focus on vegetables not only reflects the future of food – but the future of New York itself.”
Born in West Africa and raised in the South of France, Palazzo’s contemporary, plant-focused cuisine is global, sustainable and nourishing for body and soul. Working with local purveyors across the Hudson Valley, Palazzo and Castellani have devised a season-driven dining experience that marries the best in regional bounty with French, Italian and Israeli flavors and techniques. A veteran of Parisian restaurants such as the Michelin-starred Le Quinzième – as well as Cyril Lignac’s Aux Prés and Le Chardenoux – Palazzo formally joined the Foragers family in February.

“My grandfather was actually from Sicily, so our Mediterranean-with-a-twist menu feels completely authentic to me,” says Palazzo, who began cooking for his own family during his early childhood in the Ivory Coast. “Plus, I’m a long-time Chelsea resident who’s been eating at Foragers for years – they just didn’t know that I was a chef!”

The reopening of Foragers Table marks the latest milestone for co-owner Castellani, the creative mind behind Dekalb Market Hall – the largest food hall in all of Brooklyn – along with The Hugh Food Hall in Midtown. In April, Castellani will open ANA Bar & Eatery, an all-day restaurant, marketplace and eatery at The Hudson Yards.
Foragers Table is open Tuesday through Sunday for dinner service only starting at 5pm to 10pm. For reservations or more information, go to OpenTable or visit www.foragersmarket.com/restaurant. Foragers Table is located at 233 8th Avenue in Chelsea.
