Late Edition - Final Art Takes a Vacation BYLINE: By BENJAMIN GENOCCHIO SECTION: Section LI; Column 0; Long Island Weekly Desk; ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT; Pg. 9 LENGTH: 772 words DATELINE: BRIDGEHAMPTON ONCE upon a time, the New York art world had a summer vacation. Dealers closed up shop and wealthy collectors headed out of the city to their homes in the Hamptons, settling into a summer of boats, cocktail parties, tennis and beachgoing. But in the last few years art-minded entrepreneurs have begun to follow wealthy collectors out to the Hamptons in search of a little extra profit. With the addition this year of a new event, ArtHamptons, the East End is now home to two major summer art fairs, together hosting more than 100 international art dealers showing the works of more than 2,000 artists. One, ArtHamptons, is a three-day show here closing on Sunday; the other, Scope Art Fair in Wainscott, is to take place July 25 to 27. Richard Friedman is the latest art fair impresario in the Hamptons. He put up $500,000 of his own money to pay for ArtHamptons in four giant temperature-controlled modular buildings installed in a two-acre field behind the Bridgehampton Historical Society on Montauk Highway. Inside are more than 55 high-end dealers from the United States and Europe showing works from the late 19th century to the present. The combined worth of the art, Mr. Friedman estimates, is more than $100 million. Highlights include a late Picasso oil painting priced at $4.5 million at Mark Borghi Fine Art, of Bridgehampton, and a 19th-century Renoir watercolor at $135,000 at Waterhouse & Dodd, a London dealer. Prices begin at a few thousand dollars, but the focus of the fair is clearly on high-end art by brand-name artists. On view are works by Marsden Hartley, Georgia O'Keeffe, Frank Stella, David Hockney, Joan Miro, Pablo Picasso, Roy Lichtenstein, Diego Rivera, Andy Warhol, Wayne Thiebaud, Henri Matisse, Jean Dufy and Pierre Bonnard, to mention a few of the more collectible artists. ''Our standards are high,'' Mr. Friedman said. ''We received over 100 requests from dealers all over the world wanting to show in the fair, and we accepted less than half of those that applied.'' Among the dealers who did sign on for the fair was Bernard Goldberg, a well-known New York art dealer and part-time resident of East Hampton. He called the fair a ''welcome addition'' to cultural events including the annual Music Festival of the Hamptons this month and the Hamptons International Film Festival in the fall. Mr. Friedman expected the fair to attract about 7,000 visitors over the three days. Fees from participating galleries cover his costs, and door receipts are donated to local museums and charities, including the Pollock-Krasner House, in the Springs, and the Bridgehampton Historical Society. Mr. Friedman, 54, used to own ShowBiz Expo, a national film-industry trade show. He currently owns and operates the annual Hamptons Home and Garden Show in Southampton. An art collector with a taste for Abstract Expressionism, he has spent the last few years visiting art fairs to buy paintings. It was on one of these visits that he decided the Hamptons was a great place for such a fair. It also made good business sense. ''Within a 20-mile radius of this site during the summer are some of the biggest art collectors in America if not the world,'' he said. ''There is a lull in the art world calendar in summer as people are in the Hamptons, so I thought, 'Well, they are out here, and have brought their checkbooks, and have giant homes to fill, so why not see if they are also interested in looking at and buying some great art.' '' Mr. Friedman is not the first to hit upon this idea. Scope Hamptons, which is in its fourth year, and is taking place July 25 to 27 at East Hampton Studios in Wainscott, is devoted to galleries showing young and emerging artists. Prices are usually lower, starting as low as $500 and pushing $100,000 at the top end. ''If the well heeled will not come to Manhattan, then Manhattan will go to the Hamptons,'' Alexis Hubshman, the founder and president of Scope Art Fair, the company that runs the event, said in an e-mail message. He said that total fair sales grew to $2.5 million last year from about $750,000 in 2005. ''Art collectors I knew who come to the Hamptons for the summer had always complained about how it's all antique fairs and car shows,'' Mr. Hubshman said. ''There was a vacuum here I was eager to fill.'' ArtHamptons, Bridgehampton Historical Society grounds, 2368 Montauk Highway (corner of Corwith Avenue), Bridgehampton, through July 13.

Late Edition - Final A Recipe for Beans Is a Recipe for Success BYLINE: By NICOLE NEROULIAS SECTION: Section WE; Column 0; Westchester Weekly Desk; Pg. 6 LENGTH: 696 words DATELINE: BRIARCLIFF MANOR THE recipe for success in the Fitzgerald household stems from a few simple ingredients: two hungry brothers, a blizzard, Mom's old food processor and a pantry stocked with canned beans, garlic, lemons and olive oil. A year after the brothers, Mark and Matt Fitzgerald, introduced their Cool Beans dip at the Pleasantville Music Festival, thousands of jars of their creation -- something like a white bean hummus -- are now sold online and in 300 grocery stores, including Whole Foods in White Plains and Turco's in Yorktown Heights. Their fledgling company leases a warehouse in Bedford Hills and factory space in New Haven, but the base of operations is the four-bedroom house they share with their parents here. ''They're remarkably supportive,'' Matt Fitzgerald, 25, said of his mother and father as he sipped coffee in the basement. Free advice has been the not-so-secret ingredient in the Cool Beans formula, he and his brother Mark, 28, agree. Their father, a corporate lawyer. provided legal expertise, while friends starting careers in advertising and film production helped develop the brand logo and grassroots marketing campaign. The product's name comes from a saying often used by their older brother, Sean, who was killed in a car accident two years ago. ''We originally thought of the name 'Scarborough Spreads,' but then it was like I could hear Sean's voice,'' Mark Fitzgerald recalled. While coming to terms with their brother's death, Mark, a Brown University graduate who left a modeling career to pursue food writing, and Matt, a Princeton graduate bored with his job as a financial research analyst, decided to pool their savings and start a family business around their homemade snack. To get publicity, they turned to a childhood friend, Alex Charpentier, 28, a producer for Antarctic Productions, a music video company in New York. ''They're like a slapstick comedy duo, so it's fun working with them,'' Mr. Charpentier said after filming the 90-second clip featuring the brothers dancing in a market in Ossining and doing push-ups and jumping jacks in their backyard that he uploaded to YouTube. The brothers visit four stores a week and attend food festivals across the country. The dip comes in three mom-approved flavors -- lemon garlic, sweet onion and taco chili -- after a few kitchen experiments went awry. One that ''tasted like pureed hot dogs'' did not make the cut, Mark Fitzgerald said. They also rely heavily on customer feedback. Suggestions they received recently include using the spread as a pizza sauce or as a mayonnaise substitute in tuna salad. Yet the versatility of the product, which is low-fat, vegan-friendly and certified as kosher, has unexpectedly created confusion, they said. ''We're having an identity crisis in the stores, because they put us with the salsa, but we're not really salsa,'' Mark Fitzgerald said. ''But there's no bean dip section.'' And, his brother added, ''hummus is in the refrigerator section.'' As demand increases, the brothers' limited business experience and bank accounts become more problematic. The Fitzgeralds had to turn down several Westchester stores that wanted to stock Cool Beans this year, and every penny they make goes back into churning out more dip. They cannot lower their online price -- $27 for three jars, including shipping -- until they have enough capital to make the product in bulk, which would reduce costs, they said. They have started approaching investors, hoping that by the company's second anniversary, Cool Beans will be available in 1,500 stores in 25 states. Then, perhaps they can start drawing salaries and consider themselves on track to becoming the next Ben and Jerry. Mark Fitzgerald, who is getting married next month, is already preparing to leave the nest, though he plans to live close to the home office for at least a year while the brothers try to expand. ''Family and friends helped us out of the goodness of their hearts,'' Matt Fitzgerald said. ''But we're so busy making, selling and shipping the product it's getting to this critical point where we're going to have to bring other people in.''

Correction Appended Late Edition - Final
Then air travel became cheap, Baby Boomers grew up, hitching turned into something scary (and illegal in places) and the romance of the highway waned. Fewer people were willing to risk turning up as a news brief with Hannibal Lecter's name in the headline. More had urgent reasons to reach their destinations on time. But as one breed of hitchhiker vanished into folk legend, another kind has appeared. This new one isn't hauling a backpack with a well-thumbed copy of ''Siddhartha'' in its side pocket or wearing Levi's with holes in the knees. This new one isn't contentedly meandering in the general direction of Coachella or Burning Man. With a pastel cashmere Loro Piano cardigan knotted casually around his or her neck, the new hitchhiker can be found in the lounges at places like Teterboro Airport in New Jersey or Aspen/Pitkin County Airport in Colorado. Tossing off the tail numbers that are the passwords for entry to airports serving private jet traffic, a person may be heard debating the merits of a Hawker versus a Challenger, extolling the seating capacity of Gulfstream jets and rating the onboard catering at a given airport, or fixed base of operation (F.B.O.). These people do not refer to themselves as hitchhikers, of course, any more than a gold digger admits to being on the make. The old aphorism that one does not marry for money, but rather mingles with the rich and marries for love has useful applications when it comes to cadging rides on private jets. ''I don't think it's a calculated thing people do,'' said Marjorie Gubelmann Raein, the socialite and cash register heiress, who admits to having hopped the odd ride from New York to Palm Beach, Fla. ''There's a misconception that this is some hobby some people have of going around constantly on people's Gulfstreams.'' In fact, Ms. Raein added, more often it is just a matter of friendly convenience. ''It's not like you're some moocher,'' she said. ''You're going somewhere and someone happens to have a plane.'' Green that formulation is not, and yet it does possess a kind of poetry for its beneficiaries. Someone happens to have a plane. As it turns out, the likelihood of this being the case is less great than it was even a year ago, for reasons that must seem obvious. A slumping economy and spikes in fuel prices have each made serious inroads on the recent unprecedented boom in private aviation. The news stories of billionaire high fliers impervious to economic downturns may be misplaced, aviation industry insiders say. Fuel consumption at private airports is markedly down. Hours spent aloft by private jets, either rented in full or through time-share programs, are ''exactly flat,'' said Dan Hubbard, a spokesman for the National Business Aviation Association. ''The economy is hitting everyone,'' he said. Still, there are signs that those with their own jets won't be flying in cattle class anytime soon. ''The big trend is people upgrading to jumbo jets for private use,'' said Douglas D. Gollan, the editor of Elite Traveler, the glossy journal that bills itself as the ''private jet lifestyle magazine.'' People who once cruised comfortably in a 12-seat Gulfstream G450, Mr. Gollan said, now gaze covetously at a Boeing Business Jet, a 737 reconfigured to accommodate not 150 commercial passengers but 18 to 25 private ones. ''In the land of high fliers,'' Mr. Gollan said, the talk is of jumbo McMansions in the sky. ''Airbus just signed six orders for private A350s,'' at a Swiss trade show, he said, referring to a $180-million jet that in its commercial application accommodates 300 passengers. Who are the buyers of these behemoths? ''Russian oligarchs and Chinese billionaires and Indian steel moguls and Arab royalties,'' he said. ''But there are also plenty of American entrepreneurs who made their money making widgets, billionaires who pull out of the driveway and nobody knows who they are.'' Somebody knows them, though, because the planes those people own serve not just as business shuttles but as taxis for friends and acquaintances and also the family Labrador. For example, Leonard Tallerine, the independent oil and gas producer, and his wife, Janet, routinely extend their hospitality to pals on their frequent ''short hops'' between their houses in Houston, East Hampton and New Orleans. ''Our attitude is, 'We're going, there's room, so come,' '' Mr. Tallerine said. ON a recent Thursday morning, Diane Sustendal, a writer in New Orleans, got a call from Mr. Tallerine, who said he was flying to New York to meet with his investment bankers. He had space on his eight-seat Hawker 800 XP, a jet that is the aeronautic equivalent of a midsize sedan on the car rental lot. Did she need a lift? By 10 a.m., Ms. Sustendal was ''drinking hot coffee and having warm muffins'' on Mr. Tallerine's jet, aboard which, she said, ''no one ever tells you to turn off your computer or your iPod.'' By 3 p.m. she was in SoHo getting coiffed at Frederic Fekkai. By 7:30 the next morning, she was back on the plane with Mr. Tallerine, who made apologies for the cock's-crow departure. ''I thought we should try to be back in time for lunch at Galatoire's,'' he said, referring to the legendary restaurant. Generous and impulsive as Mr. Tallerine's gesture was, it was not unusual, say those who have developed a taste for ride sharing, a select group with a nose for what those in the industry call ''private jet families.'' ''There are a lot of people in the social world who don't have the equipment to fly privately on their own,'' said David Patrick Columbia, who chronicles what used to be called the beau monde in his exhaustive New York Social Diary, whose Web site features a banner ad for a fractional jet share company. ''And they do work it with some people,'' Mr. Columbia added, referring to beneficent types like a male Florida couple who own his and his eight-seat Bombardier Challengers, the four siblings from a wealthy Los Angeles clan who each owns a Gulfstream V, the billionaire financier who impulsively flies friends from his house in Hawaii to his other places in Aspen or New York on a retrofitted 737, or the former United States ambassador whose private Airbus some pals board as casually as it were the Amtrak Acela making a shuttle stop at Paris Charles de Gaulle. ''They're all looking for the ride, of course, but they're also looking for the quote unquote prestige,'' Mr. Columbia said, referring to the warm elation private jet hitchhikers profess to feeling at the thought of having joined the airborne elect. In its outlines, hitchhiking on private jets is not entirely different from thumbing a ride by the side of a freeway. It is not, for a start, the kind of travel that suits people on rigid schedules (or for that matter, with round-trip discount commercial tickets, which, as Ms. Raein pointed out, become void if one flies just a single leg). It is not the sort of travel for people with who find it challenging to sing for their supper, and it is not an ideal means of transport with those lacking the Zen patience to cater to rich people's whims. ''How can you possibly thank somebody enough?'' said Steven Stolman, the designer who is organizing a 50-year retrospective of clothes by Lilly Pulitzer, the Palm Beach dressmaker. ''People who fly private all the time are always stuck with F.B.O. catering,'' said Mr. Stolman, who does most of his airborne hitchhiking along axes popular with the society ride-share crowd. Referring to the typical private-jet fare of cold cut platters, fruit plates and defrosted shrimp cocktail, Mr. Stolman said the gift best appreciated by jet owners is often food. ''I stopped at a sports bar on the way to the plane once and bought 100 buffalo wings,'' he said. ''They appreciate things like that.'' They also value guests who know the rules of the road, he added. But what are those? ''Never be late, because they won't hold the plane for you,'' Mr. Stolman said. ''Always ask the crew where you should sit, since the crew knows where the owner likes to be. Always sit in back until you are invited to move forward. Become an expert at determining how much personal space your host requires. If they want to read quietly, let them. But, believe me, I will perform Act II of a Broadway show if it's required.'' Given the costs of flying -- the hundreds of thousands of dollars in fractional flight hours, the fuel surcharges and crew overtime, the equipment management fees and, in cases of full ownership, the $40 million or more required to buy a jet -- it makes sense that hosts might expect their guests to keep them entertained. Mostly, though, hitchhikers attest that their hosts are ''happy to invite friends to share in that wonderful experience,'' said Dennis Basso, the high-end furrier, who flew to Paris in a friend's private aircraft not long ago. ''The majority of the people I know are just helping each other out,'' Mr. Basso said. ''The way you or I would say, 'You want a ride cross town in a taxi?' the people I know might say, 'Can I give you a ride, or can I get a ride with you on Friday?' '' The ride is not across town, of course, but from Palm Beach to Aspen, or Aspen to New York, or New York to Nantucket, or Nantucket to East Hampton, or East Hampton to Carmel. ''It's like doing a friend a favor, you know?'' Mr. Basso said. ''Like, 'Oh, do you have room for my housekeeper and a dog?' '' Download 5,58 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham:
