CONTRIBUTING WRITERS: Iyna Bort Caruso | Malcolm Cossons Derek Duncan | Jennifer Zimmerman ART DIRECTOR: Steve Heimann ASSISTANT ART DIRECTOR: Erika Meadows SPAIN The Bull is Back In these luxury and second home destinations, bullish times appear to be ahead. D ER EK D U N C A N 2 | SOTHEBYSREALTY.COM T he bull, one of Spain’s most enduring symbols, is revered for its attributes of nobility, tenacity and strength. These qualities, however, have been absent from the Spanish economy, which more resembled a bear the last fi ve years. But heading into 2013 another bullish quality is beginning to show: perseverance. Several Mediterranean markets from Barcelona to Gibraltar, empowered by rising demand and one of the most majestic and desirable coasts in Europe, are showing signs of economic resurgence. In these luxury and second home destinations, bullish times appear to be ahead. MallOrc a and IBIZ a Unlike the mainland, the downturn had little effect on the Balearic Islands of Mallorca and Ibiza, says Daniel Chavarria Waschke, Managing Director for Mallorca Sotheby’s International Realty. “I would say 90-percent of the owners are non-Spanish, and the homes they own on the islands are often the third or fourth property in their portfolio. They’re in a much stronger position financially.” While both islands have the amenities and infrastructure to cater to high net-worth individuals, discerning buyers will find Mallorca’s beaches, restaurants, cafes, marinas and 23 highly accessible golf courses pleasingly discreet and relaxed. Ibiza, Waschke says, is the opposite— more seasonal, more appealing for jetsetters, high-profile celebrities, athletes and socialites. Construction exploded on the islands between 1995 and 1999 with 200- to 300-percent growth each year, and there remains an oversupply of homes. Buyers have options, according Ibiza... is the opposite—more seasonal, more appealing for jetsetters, highprofile celebrities, athletes and socialites. to Waschke, “But in my view that will stop because there’s been no new construction for four years, especially on villas,” due to new territorial plans that increase protected natural areas. “There’s no more land available. Right now in Mallorca there’s hardly a good plot with sea views available. The same goes for Ibiza.” Prices are already beginning to appreciate. BarcelOna and cOsTa Br ava Barcelona is a romantic convergence of history, architecture, arts and cuisine. Yet despite status as one of the 15 most visited cities in the world, Christophe Toelle, Managing Partner at Barcelona & Costa Brava Sotheby’s International Realty, says that prices fell between 40and 45-percent when the real estate bubble burst in 2007. Yet over the last six months, as inventory has decreased due to an almost full stop in construction, prices in the luxury market are rising as buyers again explore investment opportunities. “We’ve already noticed an increasing demand for prime locations and premium real estate,” says Toelle. “We clearly see a stabilization of prices in that segment.” Luxury property demands are concentrated in Barcelona, but foreign investors—many of them French and Eastern European—are actively pursuing second home properties in the Costa Brava. “Until 2007 we had around 60-percent national buyers (in Costa Brava), especially form Catalunya and Barcelona,” says Toelle. “With the crisis, this has changed significantly, and nowadays we see essentially international buyers.” cOsTa Bl anc a The market around Altea, a former fishing village terraced into the sloping terrain of the Costa Blanca on the central Mediterranean coast, has become particularly attractive to foreign buyers, especially Scandinavians “In Alfaz del Pi, just five minutes from Altea, we have the biggest Norwegian community outside of Norway,” says Christian Fischer, Director for Altea Costa Blanca Sotheby’s International Realty, with offices in Altea and Moraira. Known for its white sand and stone beaches, hillside towns and villages bustling with nightlife from Denia to Benidorm, the looming Sierra de Bernia Mountain range and the dramatic cliffs that define the coastline, demand in Costa Blanca has remained relatively stable. Fischer says home prices currently average 1,200 € per square meter in Altea and 3,500 € for waterfront properties, and this stabilization is the primary reason international investors and developers are buying property at the Costa Blanca. cOsTa del sOl According to Kristina Szekely, owner of Kristina Szekely Sotheby’s International Realty, the return of the market in Costa del Sol, an Adalusian oasis along the southern Spanish coast, has been particularly noticeable in 2013. Anticipating increased investor activity, several premium developments are underway. In the town of Marbella and within walking distance of the beaches is Jardines del Príncipe, a modern multi-story complex with luxury 2- and 3-bedroom apartments. In the town of Ronda is La Melonera, consisting of 30 premium estates with adjacent vineyard acreage and winemaking/bottling facilities. Interaction is infectious in Marbella and Costa del Sol. “It’s a very exciting place to live because it offers you the chance to mingle with people everyday that you would never expect to otherwise meet,” Szekely says. “It’s a very easy, very social life here.” As buyers from across Europe and beyond again pursue the easy, social lifestyle of these spectacular Mediterranean markets, the bull is very much making its way back.

A s h o r t to u r of t h e Internet reveals some astonishing examples, ranging from posters depicting fish to Soviet era calculators and chocolate wrappers. The more rarefied world of art collecting, however, operates in a slightly different fashion. Certainly a cursory examination would seem to indicate a similar level of obsession, with collectors gathering thousands of examples of their chosen field be it Old Master drawings, Meissen ceramics or duck decoys. However, it does not reveal the full story. It perhaps remains impossible to define what drives someone to collect, but art collectors tend to operate with a higher degree of discernment, not simply acquiring every example of an object, but curating their collection to ensure it is both comprehensive and of high quality. Certain collectors, however, would appear to belie this assertion with the great breadth and range of their acquisitions. For someone like Henry Clay Frick (1849-1919), whose collection is now housed in the popular museum bearing his name in New York, collecting art was a central and integral part of his life. As Colin Bailey, in his 2006 book on the collection, “Building the Frick Collection” reveals, Frick was always interested in art and in his thirties was refused a loan when the bank agent reported Frick lived with his collection of prints and sketches, “some made by himself and all out of place in this half office and half living room in a clapboard shack.” A second assessor, who subsequently granted the loan, was still moved to observe Frick “may be a little too enthusiastic about pictures, but not enough to hurt.” Buhl explains, “our object was to do the history of photography through the subject of hands” At his death Frick’s collection, acquired over four decades included some of the most important names in art history: Bellini, Chardin, Constable, Corot, El Greco, Goya, Holbein, Ruisdael, Rembrandt, Titian, Velázquez, Vermeer, Van Dyck. What is left for visitors to enjoy is a comprehensive array of the world’s masterpieces akin to famous collections compiled by the likes of Getty, Morgan or Rockefeller. Sotheby’s in New York recently had the opportunity to sell a more single-minded collection, devoted to photographs depicting the human hands. Henry M. Buhl, by his own admission in an interview with the writer Julie Belcove for Sotheby’s magazine, had “collected little things, nothing over $2,000” until on 6 October 1993 – he still recalls the exact date – when he bought an Alfred Stieglitz photograph for $75,000, elegantly depicting Stieglitz’ then wife’ Georgia O’Keeffe’s hands from above. While some collectors focus on cultures, periods, artists or media, Buhl was fascinated by subject matter. He went on to build a collection of photographs with some 1,100 images ranging from works from the earliest pioneers of photography through to up-to-the-minute imag- es from leading contemporary artists. As the collection developed Buhl employed a professional curator, but the mission remained the same as Buhl explains, “our object was to do the history of photography through the subject of hands” – such was the success with which he realized this vision that the collection was the subject of an exhibition at the Guggenheim in 2004 that subsequently travelled around the world. While Buhl’s commitment to collecting is obvious, he also maintained a long-standing dedication to charitable causes. In 1989 he established a foundation supporting education and the arts for the homeless, consolidated a few years later as The Association of Community Employment Programs for the Homeless (A.C.E) providing education and training, but also ensuring that Buhl’s collection is not only exhibited and enhanced, but also that art organizations committed to innovation are supported. It was the foundation that benefitted from the sale of 400 or so works from Buhl’s collection of photographs in an auction entitled A Show of Hands at Sotheby’s New York last December. It went on to raise over $12 million, the highest ever total for a private group of photographs and the third highest for a singleowner collection of photographs. Among the many classic works by some of the most famous names in photography was that first Stieglitz photograph, Georgia O’Keeffe – Hands and Thimble, which sold for $770,500. From Frick to Buhl, possibly for all great art collectors, collecting is not simply a compulsion, as it is with those who indiscriminately acquire each and every example of something. For art collectors the process is founded in research, in knowledge of their chosen collecting area, and their experience makes collecting a selective exercise.

C IYNA CARUSO elebrated chef and restaurateur Jonathan Waxman leads a life of all things culinary. That includes th e occasional role of residential k itchen designer. “I ask clients a million questions about who they are as a cook and about their lifestyle. ‘Who do you like to entertain and where do you like to shop? Are you evolving as a cook?’ It’s like being a kitchen psychiatrist.” The world’s most exceptional kitchens are as much about custom designing to a homeowner’s lifestyle as it as customizing to one’s aesthetic tastes. That’s what turns them from utilitarian spaces to culinary playgrounds. And it’s why Waxman says kitchens should be reserved for the “best spot of the house where there’s tons of light, the best views and the best access. A place to hang out in, have a cocktail and harangue people into helping you cook,” he jokes. “That’s what makes a kitchen exciting.” 8 | SOTHEBYSREALTY.COM KITCHENS A S DESTINATIONS It used to be that most parties ended up in the kitchen. Now they start there. Homeowners are cooking with —not just for—friends as a social activity. “A generation ago, kitchens in luxury properties were reserved solely for staff,” says Stan Ponte of Sotheby’s International Realty East Side Brokerage in New York. “In New York City, kitchens were places owners didn’t go. It was for the caterer or the live-in cook. Wealth has changed. Kitchens are not just the focal point but the selling point. Many buyers are shying away from properties that require too much renovation. “At the depth of the recession, people were finding they could get very good deals” says Ponte. “Now with the market being as busy as it is, especially in Manhattan, people prefer to purchase an apartment where appliances, counters and cabinetry require little-to-no renovation. There’s a premium on kitchens that are done.” No matter the country, no matter the culture, stunning kitchens are the starting point for stopping buyers in their tracks. Kitchens are homier yet they are decidedly more high tech. Kitchen desks are gone but space is reserved for smartphones, tablets and charging stations. “In fact, the sleek design of our iPhones and iPads has influenced appliance and cabinet design tremendously,” says San Diego-based Kitchen and Bath Designer Jamie Gold, AKBD, CAPS and author of New Kitchen Ideas That Work (Taunton Press, 2012). “You’re seeing curved corners, bright white finishes, streamlined or touch-panel appliance controls, black and gray glass appliance fronts Opposite page: New Zealand | Sotheby’s International Realty Queenstown, New Zealand Price Upon Request • Property ID:4000031417 • Julian Brown +64 3 450 0485 This page: Top: By The Sea | Sotheby’s International Realty Manchester, Massachusetts $3,950,000 USD • Devlyn Brackett +1 781 608 7202 Bottom: Atlanta Fine Homes | Sotheby’s International Realty Atlanta, Georgia $19,900,000 USD • Property ID:4285053 • Mark Bhaggan +1 678 938 7297 and the ability to customize your kitchen to how you use it. Technology is moving things along, producing multi-tasking appliances and hands-free, sensor-based functionality” that incorporates personal preferences for entertaining and day-to-day living. GOING FOR THE SPLURGE In homes of distinction, kitchens are part splurge and part surprise. Chef Waxman’s ideal? “A warm and beautiful kitchen that looks like it came out of the South of France.” Europe is known for its role as trendsetting and tastemaker. France is well regarded for its design. Italy and Spain are respected for their tile-making and surfacing work. Germany is a dynamic center of cabinetry, fixtures and appliance innovation. Experts agree quality is the mark of an extraordinary kitchen: Floors of honed limestone, slate or flagstone, for instance, that are beautifully textured and easy to clean. Quality is classic and enduring. That’s the case of the kitchen in a $3.95 million carriage house estate in West Manchester, Mass. “While the house was completed in 1998, the owners, who made all of the design choices personally, had amazing foresight when they built it. It is truly timeless,” says Devlyn Brackett of By the Sea Sotheby’s International Realty in Beverly, Mass. Splurges? Plenty including radiant floors, palladium ceiling windows, a 16-foot long island countertop of gorgeous reclaimed St. Petersburg oak and a cook’s garden. No matter the country, no matter the culture, stunning kitchens are the starting point for stopping buyers in their tracks. On the island of Sylt in northern Germany is a 12.9 million € home with an “I have arrived” kitchen, says Anita Gärtner of Hamburg Sotheby’s International Realty. The owners had a “precise idea of their dream kitchen,” the centerpiece of which is a bespoke range from the French continued > firm of La Cornue. Other jaw-dropping features include SOTHEBYSREALTY.COM | 9 CULINARY PLAYGROUNDS cont. Yet the emphasis of a grand kitchen is always on living space for socializing rather than as an appliance showroom. Ponte says the trend that started a decade or so ago of operating room-style kitchens is over. These days it’s about warmth and textures. Outdoor kitchens are getting the star treatment, too. In the Buckhead area of Atlanta is a 40,000-square-foot palatial estate listed for $19.9 million. It features two outdoor kitchens including separate stations for pizza-making and teppanyaki Japanese grilling in a one-acre inner courtyard that “folds onto itself like a hotel resort,” says Mark Bhaggan of Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty. The grounds features more than $1 million of stonework impor ted from Lebanon and Jerusalem as well as mosaics laid by masons brought over from Italy. Every remarkable kitchen has an element of fantasy to it. And for many, the ultimate fantasy is a show-stopper in which the homeowner stars as the celebrity chef. P H OTO G R A P H BY TO M JA S N Y a driftwood-covered Gaggenau refrigerator and an antique tile stove more than a century old. The kitchen, built by Robinson & Cornish, demanded so much precision craftsmanships that the designers said it took more time to build than a Volkswagen. In some cases, yesterday’s indulgences are today’s must-haves like refrigerator drawers, pasta faucets and butler’s kitchens, “which were always a splurge, but are now becoming more common,” says Julian Brown of New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty. Still, ‘common’ does not mean run-of-the-mill. Brown has a listing for a 5 million NZD Queenstown estate. Its Italian-designed kitchen boasts remarkable mountain views and a luxurious “open-style entertainer’s layout” with twin island bars. Twins are definitely in, especially for homeowners who enjoy hosting. A $13.8 million Greenwich Village loft, listed by New York’s Ponte and his Sotheby’s International Realty colleague Vannessa Kaufman, features a 750-plus square foot kitchen and lounge area with appliances by the pairs: two stoves, two ovens, two wine refrigerators and two Subzero refrigerators.

A familiar face on TV, most notably on Bravo’s hit reality series, “Top Chef Masters,” Waxman worked in such prominent kitchens as Chez Panisse in Berkeley and Michael’s in L.A. where he developed his signature style of Californian cuisine. He later moved to New York, opening Jams. The New York Times called him a culinary comet. Today he is the chef and owner of Barbuto, a seasonal Italian brasserie in New York’s West Village. T R AV E L S P OT L I G H T the mystique of San Miguel IYNA CARUSO n the 16 th century San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, was an outpost on the silver route to Mexico City. The mines are long gone but the treasures remain. These days, though, they’re all above ground and the riches are there for the taking: The light that attracts artists. The architecture that’s earned the city UNESCO World Heritage site designation. And the profusion of colors—from the periwinkle-colored homes to the bougainvillea blossoms—that make a simple stroll about town a joyful adventure. dormant passions. “We are surrounded by centuries old architecture, plazas and gardens all framed under azure skies and populated by some of the most ordinary and extraordinary people in the world,” Gleason says. “What could be more magical?” San Miguel is situated in the hilly central highlands about 165 miles northwest of Mexico City. Life here is expressive. It is also sophisticated with boutique hotels, exquisite dining options and galleries that number in the dozens. In this jewel of Colonial provenance, culture, history and the arts intersect. A wrought-iron bench in El Jardin, the main garden square across from the baroque Parroquia church, is the place to see it unfold, sometimes in the smallness of a moment as when the light plays tricks off the church at dusk and sometimes big and bold. Literary, dance, religious and music festivals take place year-round. Locals love their fiestas and celebrate them with a full sensory assault. Revelers have been known to toss rose pedals along parade routes so their floral scents are released as they march along. Visitors blend in to this vibrant community, becoming more like temporary residents. Says Wesley Gleason, an Atlanta, Georgia, native who now co-owns Agave Sotheby’s International Realty in San Miguel, the community “attracts some of the most interesting, diverse and intellectually stimulating people I’ve ever known from across North America, Europe and beyond—artists, visionaries, entrepreneurs.” Expats follow a familiar path. They discover San Miguel on vacation, return for an extended stay and then wind up buying. Climate, cost of living and the overall ease of lifestyle are hard to resist. What’s more, the artisanship of homes here is legendary. So much so that carved doors, handcrafted cabinetry and detailed ironwork made in San Miguel is routinely exported. (A $12.975 million hacienda compound in Rancho Santa Fe, California, owes much of its grandeur to San Miguel craftsmanship). And there’s something else, what folks call the “San Miguel magic.” It’s an expression that has come to describe all aspects of life here.
