But what about timeless design? To marry two or more styles, combine old and new, incorporate a lot of homeowner personality, and then carefully edit the details to create the perfect space is just what the designers in this issue accomplished. This timeless design has no restrictions or limits, is durable and sustainable, and will remain beautiful and fashionable as time goes on. When Royce Flournoy of Texas Construction Company set out to build his personal home, he called on his colleagues at FAB Architecture. They had collaborated on many projects before, and Flournoy knew that their combined visions would result in architecture that ages gracefully and allows furnishings and art to remain in the forefront.

  • Auction Lots Contained in the Catalogue
    Dear Friends, The exciting, two-night event we know as ShuttleCork is in its seventh year and has earned its reputation as an exceptional event in every way. Guests know they will enjoy themselves and have access to superlative winemakers and exclusive wines, while at the same time supporting the world-class programs at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. Likewise, visitors to the Nelson-Atkins know when they walk through the doors that their experience will be exceptional. This June, we bring you 30 Americans, contemporary art by many of the most important African American artists of the past four decades. In November, our visitors will discover the treasures from a royal tomb with Queen Nefertari: Eternal Egypt, an exhibition featuring one of Egypt’s greatest archaeological findings: the powerful, fascinating, and celebrated Nefertari. Exhibitions such as these would not happen if not for our generous donors! The guiding principles behind ShuttleCork were conceived and nurtured by our founding chairs Mary Bloch and Paul DeBruce. ShuttleCork 2019 welcomes Greg Maday as a co-chair; he will carry the mission forward with Mary Bloch. The event will continue to honor the brilliant idea that accomplishes two exceptional goals: raise funds to support the Nelson-Atkins, and bring a new set of enthusiasts to the museum. In the years since it began, ShuttleCork has raised more than $5 million to benefit the Nelson-Atkins, and it has been named one of the top multi-day fundraising events in the city. Most importantly, ShuttleCork has brought new friends to the museum, not simply as guests, but as instant supporters of our institution.

    5 Questions with Grant Achatz Submitted by andrew.zimmern on Tue, 09/09/2008 Alinea is part kitchen, part science lab. This highly-regarded, curious kitchen experiments with balloons, snow, fire... all with the hopes of creating innovatve dishes. Whatever the process, just ask anyone lucky enough have a bite: Grant Achatz is one hell of a chef. AndrewZimmern.com: What did you learn from the amazingly talented chefs who have mentored you over the years before you opened Alinea? Grant Achatz: I have been lucky to have a few key people take me under their wing at various points in my development. Steve Stallard was the first chef that I worked for. I credit him with giving me a great deal of confidence at a very young and essential age. His focus very European, I remember making procuitto from scratch and butchering game that he had shot on hunting trips. He would lecture me on the importance of hanging the birds, having a light touch and cooking sensibly. Thomas Keller mentored me at the French Laundry... really, he is the main one who guided me during my formative years as a young chef and I was exceptionally fortunate to have him as a teacher. Chef Keller leads by example and more than any technique, recipe, or dish, I learned that it takes incredible commitment, time, and passion to get things right. I truly learned how to season food from him. He is the one whom I credit fully understanding food and the experience of dining can be emotional and therefore art.
