Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection reveals more details about the Luminara
Luminara, Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection's third ship debuting in July, will have an array of fine art, seven bars, five dining venues and new luxury retail offerings, including Cartier and Piaget stores. The 452-guest Luminara will display 731 pieces from artists including Henri Matisse, Andy Warhol, Alexander Calder and David Hockney. Ritz-Carlton said it commissioned about 65% of the art just for the Luminara. Ritz-Carlton said a suspended light sculpture will be the ship's standout piece, spanning seven stories and illuminating the aft staircase atrium. The art will complement marble and walnut interiors. Expect a pallet of soft blues, warm greys and ocean hues with bronze and ruby accents. James Beard Award-winning chefs Fabio Trabocchi and Michael Mina are behind two of the yacht's dining venues. Trabocchi helped design Seta su Luminara, an Italian venue with an eight-course tasting menu and a la carte options. Mina is behind the Latin America-inspired Beach House aboard the Ilma and has reimagined the restaurant for Luminara with a Middle Eastern and Mediterranean menu. Luminara will also have a pan-Asian restaurant called Haesu Bit; Azur on Luminara, with regionally influenced menus centered on seasonal ingredients; and Mistral, a Mediterranean restaurant specializing in seafood and grilled meats. Mistral is also on the Evrima and Ilma, Ritz-Carlton's first two ships. The new Art Bar, with installations of Cycladic art, will pair cocktails with regional desserts tied to ship itineraries. Like Ritz-Carlton's first two ships, the Luminara will feature the Marina with its floating lounge platform and central pool, where guests can swim directly into the sea. The main pool will be on Deck 10, where there will also be two hot tubs. Cartier, IWC Schaffhausen and Piaget are all new additions on this ship. There will be additional shopping at the Boutique, where guests can find an evolving collection of clothes, accessories and gifts. The Ritz-Carlton Spa on Luminara will have 11 treatment rooms. Luminara will be the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection's first ship to venture to Asia and Alaska. Its maiden voyage departs July 3 from Monte Carlo.

From Turner To Warhol, Mods & Mona Lisa: 5 UK Exhibitions To See This Summer
Andy Warhol, Mona Lisa (Four Times). Courtesy of the Andy Warhol Estate While London remains an international centre of the art world, full of iconic museums and world-class galleries, there is also a wealth of museums and galleries outside of London putting on some epic exhibitions this summer. Here is my pick of highlights including; Turner's Vision at Petworth, Petworth, West Sussex; Andy Warhol: My True Story at Newlands House Gallery, Petworth; Beside The Sea: Photographs by JJ Waller & Martin Parr, Hove Museum of Creativity; The In Crowd: Mod Fashion & Style 1958-66, Brighton Museum & Art Gallery and FRAMERATE: Pulse of the Earth, Undershed, Bristol. Turner's Vision at Petworth, Petworth House & Park, West Sussex (June 21st until November 16th, 2025). Petworth, Sunset over the lake, with the Boathouse, 1827. Joseph Mallord William Turner © Tate Part of the Turner 250 celebrations, Turner's Vision at Petworth at Petworth House showcases J.M.W. Turner's studies of the Petworth landscape for the first time in 20 years. Featuring works on loan from Tate and private collections, the exhibition explores Turner's experimentation with colour, materials, and his connection to Petworth House and patron George Wyndham, 3rd Earl of Egremont. Set in the stunning 17th-century house and Capability Brown's parkland, it offers deep insight into Turner's creative process and inspiration. Turner's Vision at Petworth will include oil paintings and works on paper on loan from Tate and several private lenders. Visitors will be able to see twenty Turner oil paintings on permanent display in Petworth House–a magnificent 17th-century National Trust house with one of the finest art collections in the country–before exploring the landscape which inspired him: Capability Brown's 700-acre deer park and Pleasure Garden. Petworth House Curator Dr Emily Knight comments: "We're excited to show visitors another aspect of the work that Turner produced during his visits to Petworth, from the remarkably expressive sketches and studies that reveal his experimentation as an artist, to the calm grandeur of his finished paintings such as 'Dewy Morning' (1810). This exhibition will enrich people's understanding of a place that played such a significant role in his life.' Born on 23 April 1775, J.M.W. Turner is widely considered to be one of the most influential British artist of all time. From humble beginnings, he travelled the length and breadth of the country to capture its dramatic scenery, redefining landscape painting in the process. Turner's creative genius has left an enduring legacy and his face is even on the £20 note. Andy Warhol: My True Story at Newlands House Gallery, Petworth (June 6th until September 14th, 2025).

Courtesy the Bob Adelman Estate and Westwood Gallery NYC Newlands House Gallery in Petworth are presenting Andy Warhol: My True Story, a new exploration of one of the 20thcentury's most influential artists giving a unique window into the life and work of Andy Warhol (1928-1987). Curated by Professor Jean Wainwright, this exhibition delves behind Warhol's public persona to reveal the man beneath. Through rarely seen drawings, screenprints, films, photographs, and audio recordings, including family insights and Factory interviews, the show uncovers Warhol's private life, heritage, and enduring legacy. Highlights include Warhol's film of his mother and rarely displayed works such as Mona Lisa (Four Times) and the One Million Dollar Bill. Warhol's mother Julia's ornate calligraphy can be found on many of his illustrations, and she often crafted his signature. The exhibition features The George Hamilton Story (Mrs Warhol)–a rarely seen film Warhol made of his mother in 1966, when she was 75–which further reveals his relationship with her. An audio recording of his mother singing creates a haunting atmosphere. Iconic photographs of Warhol taken by those who were close to him–such as Bob Adelman's Andy Warhol Empties his Boots after being Pushed into the Pool by Edie Sedgewick–offer an insight into a very human Warhol experimenting with ideas and subject matter. Warhol's legacy continues to have huge influence on artists, as seen by the inclusion of contemporary artists inspired by him such as David LaChapelle, Gavin Turk, Rob and Nick Carter, and Philip Colbert. Curator Jean Wainwright says: 'This exhibition partly traces my own 30-year search for the truth behind the man, through his brothers, family and those who knew him best. In gathering different works from those often associated with him, I hope it reveals a tender, unusual and different side to the Warhol we are familiar with.'

The In Crowd: Mod Fashion & Style 1958-66 is sponsored by iconic Brighton Mod brand Ben Sherman, and curated by Roger K Burton, who during a 50-year career has styled iconic movies including Absolute Beginners and seminal Mod film Quadrophenia, collaborating with icons including David Bowie, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Mart Pel, Curator of Fashion and Textiles at Brighton Museum explains: 'The In Crowd: Mod Fashion & Style 1958–66 is about more than fabric - it's about the energy and edge of a youth movement that refused to follow the rules. In the wake of post-war austerity, Mods turned their backs on the drabness of the past and embraced a bold, new identity, with clean lines, vivid colours, and a sense of optimism that spoke volumes. They weren't just dressing up, but redefining what it meant to be young and British.' As part of the collaboration with Ben Sherman, a special installation titled Ben Sherman: The Decades can be found in the museum's Fashion Gallery showcasing the brand's influence on fashion and youth culture and featuring 12 dressed mannequins and a curated selection of iconic archive pieces.

‘Warhol's Muses' is a sympathetic group portrait
When Tom Wolfe profiled model Jane Holzer in New York magazine in 1964 and described her as 'Living Pop Art,' Andy Warhol knew it was the beginning of a lucrative friendship. The pop art pioneer had recently started courting Holzer, both as a social companion and as a film subject. He saw the chic socialite as a high-society insider to whom he could hitch his wagon — and thus attract greater public attention.
