Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat 9/29/15, 4:19 PM Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat 9/29/15, 4:19 PM Published on New York Social Diary (http://www.newyorksocialdiary.com) Home > Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat [1] By Sian Ballen & Lesley Hauge Photographs by Jeff Hirsch “If we didn’t know you were architects, we would have thought artists lived here,” we said about Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat’s lower Fifth Avenue loft. They were pleased. Known for their painterly use of color, it was fascinating to listen to their thoughts on this surprisingly complex subject of color in the lives of human beings. “The idea of choosing a color is people’s fear of making a choice,” says Peter. If you’re inspired by the photographs of their loft, check out their thought-provoking website (www. stambergaferiat.com) and especially their treatment of the Saguaro hotels in Palm Springs and Scottsdale, Arizona where they transformed dingy desert-colored buildings into brilliance. http://www.newyorksocialdiary.com/print/1912943 Page 1 of 45 Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat 9/29/15, 4:19 PM We’re interested in your name – “Aferiat” – where does it come from? Paul: My father was Algerian—did you see the Yves St. Laurent film? It is amazing, amazing! And he was born in Oran, which was where my father was born. My father became the president of Porthault in the US and I only visited Algeria when I was young. You have a good French accent—did you grow up speaking French? Paul: Well my mother was child of the Holocaust. She was 13 years old when they sent her by herself to America and she lost her parents there—she was from Vienna. So language was not something that was actually cultivated in our household. We weren’t told anything about it all. Models of residential and commercial projects and photos are arranged in the entryway of Peter and Paul's office space. The awards are from Hospitality Design magazine for the http://www.newyorksocialdiary.com/print/1912943 Page 2 of 45 Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat 9/29/15, 4:19 PM Stamberg Aferiat-designed Saguaro Hotels in Palm Springs and Scottsdale.

More project models lean atop the office bookshelves. Artwork collected over the years is placed throughout Peter and Paul's office. The ceramic vessels in the center were designed by Ettore Sottsass. The project on the board is a house that they designed on Shelter Island. http://www.newyorksocialdiary.com/print/1912943 Page 5 of 45 Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat 9/29/15, 4:19 PM The photograph to the right of the model of the Hoffman House is an image of Case Study House No. 22 by their late friend Julius Schulman. And you, Peter—your mother was a guidance counselor at a high school! Peter: And I went to the same high school! She wasn’t my counselor—I was switched over to another group. People said it must have been horrible but she was wonderful. Perhaps it was kind of useful to have a guidance counselor/mother … Peter: It was except when I was busted near the end of senior year cutting gym the entire year. Is that the naughtiest thing you’ve ever done? It’s not that naughty! Peter: No, no …. no-no-no-no! I once went to jail [protesting] as a student at Columbia in 1963, but I was only in jail overnight. Paul: You know last night we went to see “Hard Day's Night” at Film Forum … I mean, boy speaking of connecting with our youth—you get a sense of the world and how clean cut they were, even though [The Beatles] were considered cutting edge. But they wore suits and ties and their music was sweet … it was just innocent! And then Vietnam … and then the collusion of Columbia with the war machine and then came Kent State of course … and the world changed. The innocence was lost. http://www.newyorksocialdiary.com/print/1912943 Page 6 of 45 Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat 9/29/15, 4:19 PM Peter and Paul designed a house for themselves on Shelter Island, a 21st century re- examination of Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona Pavilion. Pictured are a few of the many magazines that have featured the house. http://www.newyorksocialdiary.com/print/1912943 Page 7 of 45 Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat 9/29/15, 4:19 PM James Rosenquist's "The Bird of Paradise Returns to the Hot Water Planet" fills a wall near the conference area. It is an allegorical work related to environmental damage. http://www.newyorksocialdiary.com/print/1912943 Page 8 of 45 Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat 9/29/15, 4:19 PM "Le Temoin" by Man Ray, who had been a friend of Peter's, is positioned atop Able Steel Equipment shelving. Nearby a ceramic sculpture by another friend, Christopher Adams, hangs above one of four prototypes of the "Carbon Chair" by Bertjan Pot, another close friend. http://www.newyorksocialdiary.com/print/1912943 Page 9 of 45 Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat 9/29/15, 4:19 PM A painting by Al Jarnow hangs above the bed. A group of Christopher Adams surreal ceramic sculptures fills a wall of the loft. Adams, a practicing doctor who majored in evolutionary biology in undergraduate school, created the work during his artist residency at Greenwich House Pottery. http://www.newyorksocialdiary.com/print/1912943 Page 10 of 45 Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat 9/29/15, 4:19 PM http://www.newyorksocialdiary.com/print/1912943 Page 11 of 45 Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat 9/29/15, 4:19 PM The loft kitchen cabinets are from IKEA. Let’s talk about how New York is changing now—as architects perhaps you have a hand in it. Paul: At Film Forum they now show a movie about how it started and how they eventually found a place for it on Houston Street where no one cared – and to think they’re now building condo after condo after condo there. Peter: We do believe in a city’s evolution but we also believe in sort of areas that are somewhat sacred. Paul: There was once a contribution by Mayor Koch—bless him for many things— directing money and using brilliant minds to further the idea of public housing and that doesn’t exist anymore. http://www.newyorksocialdiary.com/print/1912943 Page 12 of 45 Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat 9/29/15, 4:19 PM Five portraits by their friend David Hockney hang in the entry hall. From left to right, the portraits are of Ken Tyler, Celia Birtwwell, a Hockney self-portrait and Gregory Evans. The red chair was designed and made by Peter and is part of the Contemporary Archive of the Cooper-Hewitt, the National Museum. The table to the left of the chair is by Studio Simon and is an homage to Brancusi. The gold leaf and bronze table was designed in 1937 by Meret Oppenheim. The ceramic pieces on the table were made by friend and neighbor Jonathan Adler. http://www.newyorksocialdiary.com/print/1912943 Page 13 of 45 Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat 9/29/15, 4:19 PM "Les grands trans-Parents" is by Man Ray. http://www.newyorksocialdiary.com/print/1912943 Page 14 of 45 Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat 9/29/15, 4:19 PM http://www.newyorksocialdiary.com/print/1912943 Page 15 of 45 Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat 9/29/15, 4:19 PM A photograph by Edward Mapplethorpe hangs in the entryway to the loft. A David Hockney self-portrait hangs above a A David Hockney portrait of Gregory Venini Handkerchief vase. To the left is an Evans. Eames leg splint. To the left of that is a Fornasetti waste basket. http://www.newyorksocialdiary.com/print/1912943 Page 16 of 45 Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat 9/29/15, 4:19 PM A print by Keith Haring sits below other work by Hockney. The marble table is by Carlo Scarpa. http://www.newyorksocialdiary.com/print/1912943 Page 17 of 45 Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat 9/29/15, 4:19 PM Another group of ceramic sculptures by Christopher Adams hangs near a chair by Gerrit Rietveld. Adams describes his works as "biomorphic abstractions based on the concept of biological speciation. I have to say you win the prize for the best website we’ve seen. Who came up with all the questions like: “When have you ever dreamed in black and white?” or “Who knew warm was a color?” Paul: We have a very, very dear friend, Reed Krolloff, who collaborated with us. Peter: He helped us recognize as architects that we’re not always our own best communicators. Paul: The work can be gorgeous but architects can be such terrible speakers. http://www.newyorksocialdiary.com/print/1912943 Page 18 of 45 Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat 9/29/15, 4:19 PM Well you two are very good speakers. We must talk about all your color and use of color, for which you are so well known.

    IN OUR TIME So far 2013 has been an exciting year at Swann. In January, a sale of illustration art and illustrated books established what will be a new department for us, while our reinstated Old Master Drawings auction drew crowds and much interest for a newly discovered J.M.W. Turner watercolor. February saw our best winter Vintage Posters auction ever, setting records for images by Art Nouveau master Alphonse Mucha, and love was in the air at our Valentine’s Day auction of African-American Fine Art, where paintings by Barkley L. Hendricks and Hughie Lee-Smith, as well as a sculpture by Elizabeth Catlett, achieved top-dollar results. We wrapped up the month with Fine Photographs, featuring early Asian travel albums and avant-garde modernist images, followed by scarce Early Printed Books. American and European artists divided the top lots at our March 7 Prints & Drawings auction, and the word of the day at our Writing Instruments sale was Montblanc, Montblanc, Montblanc. Looking ahead, May is a busy month full of intriguing offerings, including graphic design and typography from the inventory of the late Irving Oaklander, noted bookseller, followed by more scintillating design, typography and graphic art in our sale of modernist posters. Our Contemporary Art sale coincides with Frieze week in New York, and the month concludes with a diverse auction of Autographs. In early June a sale of Maps & Atlases offers rare items of American interest, and mid-month American Art features paintings and drawings by artists including Milton Avery, Robert Gwathmey and John Singer Sargent.

  • Painting Today and Yesterday in the US
    1941 Painting Today and Yesterday in the U.S. (June 5–September 1) Painting Today and Yesterday in the United States was the museum’s opening exhibition, highlighting trends in American art from colonial times onward as it reflected the unique culture and history of the United States. The exhibition also exemplified the mission of the SBMA to be a center for the promotion of art in the community as well as a true museum (Exhibition Catalogue, 13). The exhibition included nearly 140 pieces by an array of artists, such as Walt Kuhn (1877–1949), Yasuo Kuniyoshi (1889–1953), Charles Burchfield (1893–1967), Edward Hopper (1882–1967), and Winslow Homer (1836–1910). A very positive review of the exhibition appeared in the June issue of Art News, with particular accolades going to the folk art section. The Santa Barbara News-Press wrote up the opening in the June 1 edition, and Director Donald Bear wrote a series of articles for the News-Press that elaborated on the themes, content, and broader significance of the exhibition. Three paintings from this exhibition became part of the permanent collection of the SBMA: Henry Mattson’s (1873–1953) Night Mystery, Katherine Schmidt’s (1899–1978) Pear in Paper Bag and Max Weber’s (1881–1961) Winter Twilight (scrapbook 1941–1944–10). The theme of this exhibition was suggested by Mrs. Spreckels (Emily Hall Spreckels (Tremaine)) at a Board meeting and was unanimously approved. The title of the exhibition was suggested by Donald Bear, also unanimously approved by the Board. Van Gogh Paintings (September 9) Seventeen of Vincent van Gogh’s paintings were shown in this exhibition of the “most tragic painter in history.” This exhibition was shown in conjunction with the Master Impressionists show (see “Three Master French Impressionists” below).

It was developed in conjunction with the exhibition American People, Black Light: Faith Ringgold’s Paintings of the 1960s, organized by the Neuberger Museum of Art and on view at the National Museum of Women in the Arts from June 21–November 10, 2013. It contains digital images of nine early works by renowned artist Faith Ringgold. Information about the artist and each of these works of art is also included, together with suggested discussion questions for each artwork. You will also find worksheets outlining suggested classroom activities and related standards of learning for Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. The text is based primarily on the scholarship and ideas presented in the exhibition catalogue, American People, Black Light: Faith Ringgold’s Paintings of the 1960s, edited by Thom Collins and Tracy Fitzpatrick, and Ringgold’s memoir, We Flew Over the Bridge. A bibliography credits additional sources and serves as a resource for further exploration by teachers and students. We also have provided a glossary of selected art terms and movements, as well as historical moments. We hope you find this packet a valuable reference and teaching resource even beyond the exhibition. Sincerely, Deborah L.
