I DIOR CHRISTMAS 2023 © Agnès Lloyd Platt © As the festive season approaches, Dior is celebrating the magic of those wonderful moments of sharing with a series of exceptional pieces. Echoing the Dior cruise 2024 collection dreamed up by Maria Grazia Chiuri, a multitude of butterflies – in shades of gold and white – spread their wings and come to life on the Lady Dior, the Dior Book Tote, the Lady D-Lite and the Panier Chapeau. In homage to Monsieur Dior's passion for the divinatory arts, they form an enchanting constellation revealing the twelve signs of the zodiac. Finishing each outfit with an extra touch of audacity, the jewels are also sublimated by these poetic creatures, whose finesse is imbued with beauty. They magnify different Dior universes: the Butterfly Around the World motif – designed by Pietro Ruffo –, combined with the reinterpretation of the toile de Jouy, adorns several Dior Maison creations, including crockery, table linen and objects, as well as candles and notebooks. An ode to the art of giving so dear to the founding-couturier.

I Unprecedented Quality on the German Auction Market: Significant Provenances, Museum Art and Singular Opportunities for Collectors. PREVIEW Autumn Auction December 8/9, 2023 Contemporary Art Day Sale | Evening Sale | Modern Art | 19th Century Art | Bunte Coll. The early Murnau view by Wassily Kandinsky (“Straße in Murnau“, 1908, estimate price: € 1.5 m. to 2.5 m.) Courtesy of Ketterer Kunst. © AUTUMN AUCTION DECEMBER 8/9, 2023 Richter’s First and Palermo’s Last Work.  Sensational: Evening Sale with Gerhard Richter’s fist city view and Blinky Palermo’s last work  Auction highlight “Murnau“: Kandinsky’s early Murnau townscape – Expressionism par excellence  Nolde painting “Palmen“ offered subject to a “fair and just solution“ achieved between the private owners and the heirs of the acclaimed art collector Dr. Ismar Littmann In terms of sales volume, the autumn auction at Ketterer Kunst on December 8/9 is Germany’s biggest art auction. In the Evening Sale alone, almost 90% of the 78 works on offer are in 6-figure price realms or above. In addition to internationally sought-after artists of museum quality, works from renowned collections and top lots with interesting provenances will be called up. “We expect a very strong autumn auction, as the current demand for top quality art remains at peak level. A quality range of offers like this is rare on the art market. It has always been our goal and the guarantee for our success. Along with a global visibility realized through a sophisticated marketing strategy, it is what our clients value the most. We have recently been entrusted with outstanding works of art from international collections.” Said Robert Ketterer, auctioneer and owner of Ketterer Kunst, at a press conference in Munich. “The stunning array includes many works that have not been on the market for decades – a singular opportunity to enrich your own collection!” Modern Art Highlights The early Murnau view by Wassily Kandinsky, a masterpiece from the early days in Murnau – the birth of German Expressionism. Green facades, a pink street and violet shade – that’s pure Expressionism! And a seminal work for Kandinsky, as he began to pursue his path to abstraction with Murnau motifs.  Works from renowned collections: Deutsche Bank Collection, Ahlers AG Collection, Bunte Collection and a German private collection  Exhibition of select highlights in Frankfurt (Nov. 11/12), Cologne (Nov. 17-19), Hamburg (Nov. 22/23), Berlin (Nov. 25-30) and Munich (Dec. 2-7). The world coming apart: Max Beckmann’s “Drahtseilbahn in Baden-Baden“. Berlin, 1937 / „Bergbahn in Colorado“. Saint Louis, 1949 (estimate price: € 700,000 – 900,000) is an extreme composition made in dramatic days. "It is a picture between remembrance and aspiration, between dusk and dawn, between the past and the hope for the beginning of a new and better life." says Mayen Beckmann about this unusual work by her grandfather. In the fateful year 1937, immediately after the work was made at the peak of his political defamation, Max Beckmann left Germany. With the revision of the background in 1949, he expresses firm belief in a positive future. With marvelously staged color contrasts and in the rare original frame, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner captured a fleeting moment in the glowing mountains in “Alphütten und Tinsenhorn“ from 1919/20. Formerly on permanent loan at the ‘Pinakothek der Moderne’ in Munich, it is called up with an estimate of € 600,000 – 800,000. In a true color frenzy, Erich Heckel celebrates the maximum dissolution of form and color in “Blühende Kresse“ from 1907 (estimate price: € 550,000 – 750,000). There are very few landscapes of such a fascinating quality by Erich Heckel from this year. Most of the works made between 1905 and 1910 are considered destroyed or lost, so owning a landscape from 1907 is something very special indeed. Ketterer Kunst also expects strong attention for Lovis Corinth’s “Walchensee, aufgehender Mond“ (1922). A painting of utmost museum quality estimated at € 500,000 – 700,000. A masterpiece of unleashed colors and forms: Walchensee landscapes mark the apex of Lovis Corinth's oeuvre. Emil Nolde, Palmen, 1915 In the 1933 work “Karavellen“ (estimate price: € 300,000 – 500,000), Lyonel Feininger stages a departure into the unknown in a spherical sunlight. The work looks back on an impressive exhibition history. A similar picture that Feininger once gave to his friend Wassily Kandinsky is in the collection of the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Other highlights in the section of MODERN ART are, among others, Otto Mueller “Badende in Landschaft“, 1920 (estimate price: € 600,000 – 800,000), August Macke “Junge mit Buch und Spielsachen“, 1912 (estimate price: € 300,000 – 400,000), Franz Marc “Blaue Kuh“, 1913 (estimate price: € 400,000 – 600,000), Heinrich Campendonk ”Bild mit Vögeln“, 1916 (estimate price: € 350,000 – 450,000). Contemporary Art Highlights Gerhard Richter’s first city view “Alster (Hamburg)“, the vast Hamburg panorama in evening light from 1963, breathes the excellent quality of Richter’s painting: It is the fascinating combination of closenesss and distance evoked by his inimitable technique (estimate price: € 1 m. – 1.5 m.). Richter’s paintings from the 1960s are among his most sought-after works, while the townscapes are of highest rarity on the international auction market (source artnet.com). Another rarity on the international auction market is Blinky Palermo’s 8 part work on metal. It is the last work that the exceptional talent and most progressive German artist of the 1960s and 1970s – along with Richter and Polke – made before his timely death at only 33. To date only two of these works were sold in international auctions (source: artprice.com). On top of that, only one other metal work is privately-owned. Palermo’s multi-part metal pictures (1973-1977), in which he succeeded in creating an almost spiritual amalgamation of the object-like image carrier with color and space, are considered the peak of his creation. (Ohne Titel 8-teilig). 1976/77. Estimate price: € 600,000 – 800,000) His obsession with the emotional effects of colors and their high-contrast interaction is what the Irish artist Sean Scully expresses in his outstanding work “Cut Ground Blue Grey“ (2011): A work that comprises characteristic motifs and the essence of all his previous creation (estimate price: € 300,000 – 500,000). Sean Scully, Cut Ground Blue Grey, 2011 Günther Uecker fascinates observers with one of his highly energetic nail fields. These signature pieces are loaded with dynamics that captivate us time and again. And Ketterer Kunst offers options for lovers of Uecker’s art: the highly dynamic paintings are available in three different sizes in the autumn auctions. Auction market premiere: Those who have a fancy for the ‘Master of the Machine Pictures“ have three opportunities to acquire a painting by the lately deceased artist Konrad Klapheck. Above that, the corresponding preparatory drawings in same format are also on offer. A masterpiece of post-war art of museum quality: the larger- than-life-sized work “Die Jagd nach dem Glück“ (1984), oil on canvas, and the charcoal drawing in same size on canvas. The other two works are “Lamento“ from 1986 and “Die Rettung“ (1989). Andy Warhol is represented with a number of works in the autumn auction. Next to Goethe (1982) in loud pop art colors - extremely rare as complete series and Matching Set (estimate price: € 300,000 – 500,000) - it is the unique work Friedrich II. (1986) on canvas that impresses us with its unusually large format (estimate price: € 500,000 – 700,000). Ernst Wilhelm Nay is one of Germany’s most important post-war artists and is considered a pioneer of abstract painting. His oeuvre follows a clear sequence of different creative periods. The Evening Sale on December 8 offers several first-rate From, left: Weißes Feld, 1997 / Wind, 2005 / Feld, 2011 masterworks from different times, among them “Rot in Rot II“, 1965 (€ 350,000 – 550,000), “Azuro“, 1952 (€ 200,000 – 300,000), “Morningstar“, 1963 (€ 200,000 – 250,000), “Himmlische Botschaft“, 1946 (€ 100,000 – 150,000), and “Menschenschicksale II“, 1939 (€ 40,000 – 60,000) in the Contemporary Art Day Sale. The array of excellent of works in the Evening Sale is completed by, among others, prime works by Marc Chagall “La Femme en rouge“, 1978 (estimate price: € 400,000 – 600,000), Günther Förg “Ohne Titel“, 2005 (estimate price: € 250,000 - 350,000, Willi Baumeister „Maschine grau mit Pfeil II“, 1926 (estimate price: € 200,000 - 300,000), Robert Rauschenberg “Holy Lattice (Urban Bourbon)“, 1988 (estimate price: € 180,000 - 240,000), Per Kirkeby “Ohne Titel“, 2011 (estimate price: € 150,000 - 250,000), Katharina Grosse “Ohne Titel“, 2020 (estimate price: € 120,000 - 150,000), Tom Wesselmann “Standing Nude“, 1985 (estimate price: € 120,000 – 150,000) and not least “Garden Landscape“ by Willem de Kooning from 1977 (estimate price: € 90,000 - 120,000). Works by the important representative of Abstract Expressionism are absolutely rare on the European market. 19th CENTURY ART The two top lots come from a German private collection: In “Der Postbote“ (around 1860), estimated at € 280,000 – 300,000, Carl Spitzweg arranged the scene like a stage play, while “Der Angler am Waldbach“ (1844) was made at a time when Spitzweg was intensively occupied with caricature and the pointed pen of French draftsmen. (estimate price: € 120,000 – 150,000). Strong interest is also expected for Franz von Stuck’s “Kämpfende Faune“ (1889), one of the best versions of his key theme of fighting fauns in wonderful radiant colors in a magic interplay with landscape, figure and sky. Additionally, the auction comprises seven sculptures from the oeuvre of Franz von Stuck as well as works by, among others, Hans Thoma, Wilhelm Busch, Karl Hagemeister. Collections in the Autumn Auction on December 8/9 The Bunte Collection will be called up in a Single Owner Sale on December 9. Its works reflect the profile of a vast private collection of highest quality: The art of the German expressionist painter Hermann Stenner (1891‒1914), as well as from Westphalian Expressionism and the Hölzel circle. Key piece in the collection is Hermann Stenner’s “Auferstehung“, 1914 (estimate price: € 80,000 – 100,000), as well as the remarkable unique bronze: Oskar Schlemmer’s “Bauplastik R.“, 1919/1964 (estimate price: € 150,000 – 200,000). Other renowned collections that will surely be met with strong interest: A German private collection offers an exquisite selection of works by Carl Spitzweg, Hans Thoma and Pierre-August Renoir. The array of gems that enrich the Evening Sale and the 19th Century Sale is honored with an own print catalog. The absolute highlight of the Ahlers AG Collection is Yves Klein’s “Peinture de Feu Coleur, sans titre (FC 11), around 1961 (estimate price: € 400,000 – 600,000) and Albrecht Dürer’s "Melencolia I (Die Melancholie), 1514 – an icon in the history of print art and one of the world’s most famous artworks (estimate price: € 150,000 – 250,000).

Iconic Maldivian Island Resort Baros celebrates 50th Anniversary and invites to magical celebrations. Baros © A Golden Jubilee of authentic Maldivian hospitality, legacy and innovation Luxury private island resort Baros Maldives is celebrating an extraordinary milestone this December – its 50th Anniversary. This special moment commemorates not only the island’s pioneering successes, but the deep-rooted values that have led it to become one of the most legendary resorts in the Maldives today. The Maldives Icon - Baros ian award-winning luxury private island resort in the Maldives, is nestled in North Male’ Atoll, a short 25-minute speedboat ride from the International Airport. Baros is an icon of authentic Maldivian hospitality. Just the third resort to open in the Maldives, Baros welcomed guests for the first time in December 1973. Seven blocks of rooms with palm leaf walls, coconut thatched roofs, sandy floors and repurposed ship bunks reflected an era of simplicity. On arrival, guests would leap from a traditional dhoni, wading through the gentle surf to reach the untouched shores. Fresh water was a luxury that arrived in buckets, and it was the whispering sea breeze that cooled the rooms. Enthusiastic divers were drawn to the island by the allure of spearfishing and the promise of an untouched natural sanctuary; Baros became their canvas, a place to savour barbecued fish by moonlight while sharing stories with their Maldivian hosts and gazing upon the starry tapestry above. A decade on, Baros had evolved. Coral and lime walls replaced palm leaf mats, plywood ceilings replaced the thatched roofs and small tiled bathrooms were built. In 1984, the resort installed its first desalination plant, offering fresh water and luxury bathtubs, a feat that revolutionised the Maldivian tourism landscape. Even then, the island's owner, local family-run company Universal Enterprises, recognised the true essence of Baros lay in its untouched beauty. For Baros, the journey was not just about growth, but also the preservation of its inherent allure as a truly authentic island. While others embraced modernity, Baros chose to intertwine its structures with nature, weaving the island's lush vegetation into its architecture. As we bid adieu to 2023, Baros Maldives promises a truly memorable festive season. Nestled in the heart of paradise, the iconic island resort invites guests to revel in its timeless charm, as it proudly commemorates its 50th anniversary this December. Guests can curate their own festive getaway, choosing from a plethora of activities – from dolphin cruises to enchanting sunset sails, private cinema evenings on the picturesque Piano Deck, coral planting workshops and other underwater adventures, as well as culinary indulgences galore. Dine in white under the full moon, or come together to savour delectable delights at The Chef’s Table in The Lighthouse Restaurant. With three inspiring restaurants, Baros will take guests on true culinary journey, showcasing the best of international dining and of course, the exquisite flavours of traditional local cuisine. The festive celebrations unfold with a special Christmas Eve Gala and a series of gourmet dinners that set the stage for an opulent New Year's Eve. Revel in a sumptuous spread paired with an abundance of bubbly and fine grape, complete with live music and a breathtaking firework display as Baros ushers in 2024 with unparalleled style. Throughout the season, Serenity Spa’s expert therapists will be on hand to rejuvenate body and soul, with a range of all-natural spa treatments designed to prepare you for the year ahead. The festive programme at Baros runs from 22nd December until 7th January 2024. For reservations and more information, please contact us at +960 664 26 72 or email to reservations@baros.com. The use of artificial shade was cast aside in favour of preserving the 374 palm trees that continue to grace the island today, a testament to the owners’ devotion to the environment and the island’s history as a coconut palm plantation. Nature takes centre stage at Baros not only on land: beneath the turquoise waters that lap its shore lies a hidden treasure - a world-class house reef teeming with life. This marine wonderland, just a short swim from guest villas, is a haven for both divers and snorkellers. The resident marine biology team's passion and dedication shine through initiatives such as the coral cube project where guests can participate in reef conservation and nurture the beauty that defines the island’s underwater realm. Baros' journey is marked by innovation. It was among the first resorts to introduce open-air bathrooms as well as the stylish over-water bungalows that are now synonymous with the Maldives. Its desalination plant that opened in 1984 was the country’s first, and set a benchmark in the tourism industry. The iconic Piano Deck in the Baros Lagoon, and two-story overwater Lighthouse Restaurant and Lounge, demonstrate the resort’s unwavering dedication to paving the way for development, whilst staying true to the timeless elegance that makes it so unique. As Baros has evolved over the past five decades, culinary excellence has remained at its heart. In addition to two other gourmet restaurants, its signature The Lighthouse Restaurant and Lounge, established in 2005, stands as a beacon of fine dining in the Maldives. Here, the Flambéed Lobster Bisque, prepared tableside on a Flambée Gueridon, along with many other well-loved classics, have drawn guests from around the world for years. As Baros enters its sixth decade, it remains proudly Maldivian, steadfastly rooted in its ethos. Here, the focus is on the journey, not the destination. In a world that changes, Baros stands as a resolute tribute to what the Maldives should be - a pure and unpretentious experience. Baros's legendary service is not just about luxury; it's about heartfelt dedication. Team members such as Mohamed Zihunee, who joined Baros as its very first employee, and is still there to this day, and Ibrahim Afzal who started working on the island at just 16, and now after 36 years is currently serving as Laundry Manager, embody the soul of Baros. Ahmed (or Dive Ahmed as he’s fondly called), with 25,000 dives under his belt, is another remarkable figure in Baros' story. These are just a few examples of the enduring bonds formed over the years. Similarly, Baros's repeat guest percentage is no less impressive, exceeding 30%, with some guests having visited over 50 times. One German couple has visited Baros 54 times, while a British couple has visited 32 times and others over 20 times. These guests are part of the Baros family, forging innate connections with the team. Baros consistently ranks at the top on guest rating platforms and has garnered numerous awards and accolades. It was named the "World's Most Romantic Resort" in 2022 for the seventh time in ten years by the World Travel Awards, received the title of "Indian Ocean's Most Romantic Resort" for the tenth consecutive year in 2022, and was nominated as the Best Honeymoon Resort in 2021 by Elle Bridal Awards. Baros was also awarded the honour of “The Maldives Icon” at the prestigious Hideaways awards at ITB 2023, and recognised by Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards 2023 among the Top 20 Resorts in the Indian Ocean. Today, Baros shines as brightly as ever, with continuous renovation in recent years amounting to investments exceeding USD 6.8 million. These updates are all carried out with the utmost respect for the natural environment, and highlight local craftsmanship. In a world where others compete to show what the Maldives can be, Baros remains resolute in standing for what it should be. A beacon in the shifting Maldivian hospitality landscape, a bastion of local values, and a testament to innovation and unfading beauty. BAROS MALDIVES This tropical haven is home to 75 sophisticated villas framed by a seemingly endless powder-soft white beach and a glittering lagoon surrounded by a world-class house reef. It’s paradise personified. Welcoming guests since 1973, Baros has spent decades honing its services and cultivating its environment, making it the Maldivian Icon. An award-winning resort, and a member of Small Luxury Hotels of The World, Baros is celebrated for its authentic spirit, legendary service, outstanding comfort and understated elegance. Pack nicotine alternatives Smoking cessation isn’t a one-and-done thing; being out with friends—especially smokers—might exacerbate your cravings. Instead of giving in and asking for a smoke, tobacco-free alternatives can help tamp down those urges. Nicotine pouches are a great product for a night out. Most nicotine pouches come in cans, which allow users to experience nicotine satisfaction on the go. Another great option is nicotine patches, which have been around for decades as a quitting aid. Brands like Habitrol nicotine patches come with two or three-step programs over eight or twelve weeks, gradually lowering the nicotine dose after some time. all images © Read our Summer Issue See Haute couture from Dior, Alexis Mabille, Georges Hobeika, Zuhair Murad, Valentino and more Explore Moralmoda Art Culture Lifestyle Travel Business Interviews Events ​ Get in touch About us Contacts Subscribe
