  • RETROSPECTIVE BOOK REVIEWS by Esley Hamilton, NAOP Board Trustee
    Field Notes - Spring 2016 Issue RETROSPECTIVE BOOK REVIEWS By Esley Hamilton, NAOP Board Trustee We have been reviewing new books about the Olmsteds and the art of landscape architecture for so long that the book section of our website is beginning to resemble a bibliography. To make this resource more useful for researchers and interested readers, we’re beginning a series of articles about older publications that remain useful and enjoyable. We hope to focus on the landmarks of the Olmsted literature that appeared before the creation of our website as well as shorter writings that were not intended to be scholarly works or best sellers but that add to our understanding of Olmsted projects and themes. THE OLMSTEDS AND THE VANDERBILTS The Vanderbilts and the Gilded Age: Architectural Aspirations 1879-1901. by John Foreman and Robbe Pierce Stimson, Introduction by Louis Auchincloss. New York: St. Martin’s Press, 1991, 341 pages. At his death, William Henry Vanderbilt (1821-1885) was the richest man in America. In the last eight years of his life, he had more than doubled the fortune he had inherited from his father, Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt (1794-1877), who had created an empire from shipping and then done the same thing with the New York Central Railroad. William Henry left the bulk of his estate to his two eldest sons, but each of his two other sons and four daughters received five million dollars in cash and another five million in trust. This money supported a Vanderbilt building boom that remains unrivaled, including palaces along Fifth Avenue in New York, aristocratic complexes in the surrounding countryside, and palatial “cottages” at the fashionable country resorts.

    Michele Oka Doner Strategic Misbehavior Michele Oka Doner Contents Introduction Ai Kato 7 Strategic Misbehavior Deborah Rothschild 9 Artwork Michele Oka Doner 23 Biography 56 Exhibition Checklist 57 Introduction Tower 49 Gallery is honored to present a provocative installation by Michele Oka Doner. Strategic Misbehavior converts Tower 49’s corporate environment into a theatrical stage set with fantastical elements inspired by the natural world. I was first introduced to the work of Michele Oka Doner at a private sale exhibition, The Shaman’s Hut, at Christie’s in November of 2015. I was taken with the fine delicacy and elegance Michele consistently mastered throughout five decades of work. My second encounter with Michele’s work was A Walk on the Beach, a site- specific art installation at the Miami International Airport, consisting of cast bronzes including seaweed, shells, stems, and assorted aquatic forms. Michele transformed a busy commuter atmosphere into a walk along the shores of Miami. Glancing at the ground, travelers were mesmerized to discover ethereal, golden, natural motifs guiding them through the airport. Michele expertly imbues urban and cold settings with a serene and whimsical ambience, calming viewers and striking intrigue with art in unlikely spaces. I was eager for Michele to grace Tower 49 Gallery with the feeling of discovering nature in a concrete jungle. Tower 49 Gallery is an art exhibition space, but also serves as a public access way and lobby space for Tower 49 offices and tenants. I anticipate that all who enter Tower 49 will explore and engage Michele’s mythical, mystical creatures, reliefs,and photographs–all inspired by the natural world.

Closing the Tax Gap: Encouraging Voluntary Compliance Through Mass-Media Publication of High-Profile Tax Issues ELIZABETH BRANHAM* INTRODUCTION Taxes and tax policies affect every American, young and old, rich and poor. Because of their pervasive effect, it is only natural that in a world increasingly consumed by celebrity obsession, important issues arising from celebrity tax evasion, whether criminal or not, are brought to the fore. Recently, this has been true of well-known individuals such as Wesley Snipes, Joe Francis, and Richard Hatch.' However, the publication of high-profile tax prosecutions is not a new phenomenon. In the 1920S the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) prosecuted Al Capone; in the197os Vice President Spiro Agnew faced tax evasion charges; and in the i98os Leona Helmsley was forced to spend time in jail for tax evasion! The difference between modem tax evaders and those of the late 9oos is that in the last two decades, the rise of the Internet and celebrity gossip magazines has made celebrities both more visible and more obvious embodiments of social values and norms.
