Voyage of the Art Barge - by Alexandra Wolfe september 2007 Issue
Is a boatload of galleries an idea that will float?
Greenwich, Connecticut—headquarters to so many of the hedge fund managers who are pushing the art market to unprecedented heights—seems a fitting place to launch Lester's SeaFair. On September 25, the vessel, christened the Grand Luxe, will host a fundraiser for Greenwich's Bruce Museum before sailing to such upscale ports as Oyster Bay, New York; Hilton Head, South Carolina; and Palm Beach, Florida. Once aboard, invitation-only visitors will be able to browse the ship’s 28 galleries, dine in one of two restaurants, and relax at an open-air bar while contemplating how to spend their money. The floating art fair on the Grand Luxe begins September 25 in Greenwich, Connecticut, and will cruise the coast for nearly a year. The following works including this one will be available for invitation-only visitors to see. See All Video & Multimedia
