Read MoreIn 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.

New York City, famed for its ever-changing skyline, was witness to an unparalleled assembly of real estate royalty last week. The exclusive event was hosted by none other than Shlomi Reuveni, President and CEO of Reuveni Development Marketing, at the chic Manhattan eatery 15 East @ Tocqueville.
The guest list was as impressive as it gets, a veritable 'who's who' of the city's real estate scene. The city's most esteemed architects and developers rubbed shoulders with private equity lenders and marketers, all while savoring a sumptuous five-course culinary experience.
From fois gras to caviar, the menu was as elite as the guests. Signature cocktails flowed as smoothly as the conversation, all set against the melodious backdrop of a live piano performance. Post-dinner, guests lingered, the allure of the Parisian-inspired dining room at Tocqueville keeping them engaged.
Reuveni was at the helm, fostering connections, and reviving a sense of camaraderie long absent in the post-COVID world. The evening transcended business and deal-making. The crux of the event was the network, the shared passion, and a sense of togetherness. As Nancy Ruddy, of CentraRuddy Architects, so eloquently put it, Shlomi Reuveni is one of the rare people in the real estate industry who has built success on integrity, wisdom, humanity, and dedication.
If there's one thing that binds everyone in the room, it's the unwavering drive to do another deal, said Reuveni. And the passion was indeed palpable. Amidst the clinking glasses, the late-night conversations, and the appreciation for the event's sponsor Gaggenau, was a shared fervor for creating landmarks and shaping cities.
So, the next time you gaze up at the towering edifices adorning New York's skyline, remember the faces behind these structures, the connections they foster, and the passion that fuels their endeavors. It is in gatherings like these, where old connections are strengthened and new ones are made, that the future of our city is built.
