ALTERNATIVE REALITY: VENICE & PALM BEACH
The Photography of Augustus Mayhew
Opening Reception & Cocktails
Tuesday, November 19, 2019
6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Venice and Palm Beach revel in the grandeur of past illusions, informed by the fog of history and the blur of storied legends. Images fashioned from Venetian vanities and Palm Beach artifacts explore the ageless appeal of these iconic islands suspended above and beyond reality. Venice’s magical Carnevale and Palm Beach’s sublime gardens set the stage for a spectacle of wonder and caprice. Augustus Mayhew is a featured photographer and columnist at the New York Social Diary. A longtime historic preservationist, social historian and cultural explorer, he is the author of Lost in Wonderland: Reflections on Palm Beach and Palm Beach: A Greater Grandeur.
