••• From Hotel Particulier: “We are pleased to welcome iconic gallerists Stailey-Wise in residence with an exhibit curated by Béatrice Dupire, of over 50 photographs celebrating the free spirit of the summer.” It’s called “Les Vacances” and it opens July 22. (Hotel Particulier’s press release included the photo I used on the home page/search results page…. It’s by Slim Aarons, with whom I worked at Town & Country. Even back then they didn’t make ’em like Slim anymore.)
