RECOMMENDATIONS FROM OUR MEMBERS
BOOK
Nicolas Estrada wrote in to recommend a book called A Farewell to Gabo and Mercedes: A Son’s Memoir of Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Mercedes Barcha, by Rodrigo Garcia. “It was extremely touching to read how Rodrigo Garcia talks about his family’s intimacy,” says Nico, “how he portrays a human Garcia Marquez and how important Mercedes was as the pillar of their home.”
TV SERIES
Susan Cummins gives a series on Apple TV+ the thumbs up. “In conjunction with the book I co-authored, In Flux: American Jewelry and the Counterculture, I would recommend ‘1971: The Year: The Year Music Changed Everything,’” says Susan. “It’s about the changes happening politically and socially, but mainly musically. In Flux couldn’t cover all of the history of the times and neither does this, but it fills in lots of gaps and you get to hear great music. I love knowing more about the history of this time period which I lived through.”
PODCAST
Julie Simpson has been enjoying David Zwirner Art Gallery’s “Dialogues” podcast. “Lucas Zwirner and a few guest hosts do a terrific job of sharing the ideas and talents of artists and showing how they think about their peers, the role of art,” says Julie. “Often Lucas will pair a writer with an artist. A few of my favorite episodes: filmmaker Sofia Coppola paired with filmmaker and artist Rainer Judd; artist Luc Tuymans paired with writer Timothy Snyder; Frédéric Malle talking about perfume (Season 5, Episode7).”
FILM
Zelia Nobre Carré likes the film A Cozinheira de Castamar (The Cook of Castamar). She explains: “This film, a romance situated in the Spanish court of the 18th century, shows the beauty of the kindness, creativity, and imagination of a cook. It takes place in a gorgeous castle with amazing period decorations.” (You can watch it on Netflix.)
EXHIBITIONS
Nichka Marobin raves about a show she saw recently, and she has plans to see a couple others. “I have to thank my friends Chiaralice and Elena Rizzi from Ohmyblue Gallery for suggesting I visit the The Glass Ark: The Animal Collection of Pierre Rosenberg exhibition, hosted on the wonderful island of San Giorgio Maggiore at Fondazione Cini. Go to the Le Stanze del Vetro website to see the beautiful venue and to discover this amazing world of glass creatures virtually. This summer I will also visit the exhibition at the Castello del Buonconsiglio, in Trento, dedicated to Fede Galizia (c. 1578–c. 1630), a Renaissance painter who specialized in still lives. Lastly, I won’t miss a visit to Mart Museum, in Rovereto, for the exhibition Botticelli: His Time. And Our Time.”
EXHIBITION
Adriana Radulescu thinks you’ll enjoy Forces of Nature: Renwick Invitational 2020—she sure did. “The exhibition shows quite large installations by artists Lauren Fensterstock, Timothy Horn, Debora Moore, and Rowland Ricketts,” says Adriana. “The works are beautiful, profound and express the artist’s’ relationship to nature and our existential environmental crisis.” See it at the Renwick Gallery, Washington, DC, through August 15, 2021.
BOOKS
Marie-José van den Hout has been rereading John Le Carré’s books since his recent death. “I like books with a lot of politics involved,” she says. “And although some of those books are 30 years old, nothing seems to have changed in the world. And that is not a good sign.”

The items are from the Klaus-Peter and Judith Thomé collection.

EXHIBITIONS—ASIA
MUSEUM
Earrings, Connecting the Past and Present, at the Seoul Museum of Craft Art, through September 12. Earrings have been worn by humans regardless of gender from the past to the present. The oldest earrings in our history are from the Neolithic Age and were worn by few people. During the Joseon Dynasty, people of all ages, from the royal family to the poor, enjoyed wearing earrings. However, the act of piercing the ears was contrary to the Confucian teaching that “the body, hair, and skin were given to them by their parents, so not to injure them is the beginning of filial piety.” Today, earrings are widely used as accessories to express the individuality of modern people, and are re-recognized as an artistic sculpture that adorns the human body.
