The preview of "Romantic Modernist: The Life and Work of Norman Jaffe, Architect" at the Parrish Art Museum in Southampton, New York, attracted a crowd with a keen interest in the archival photos, renderings, drawings, models, and furniture related to his signature Long Island beach houses. "Jack Youngerman: Folding Screen Paintings" opened the same night.

2. Museum trustee Dorothy Lichtenstein, widow of Roy Lichtenstein, with Marlborough Gallery director David Robinson.

3. Jaffe exhibition curator Alastair Gordon with Jaffe's widow, Sarah Jaffe Turnbull, and her husband, John Turnbull.

4. Miles Jaffe, son of the late architect.

Czeching Out DUMBO

Shoe designer Christian Louboutin went right for the red-lacquered chairs. Baby furniture's David Netto just had to have that chrome-trimmed table. We don't know what caught the attention of designer Paul Siskin, apartmenttherapy.com's Maxwell Gillingham-Ryan, or the other 150 guests at the recent opening of Prague Kolektiv, a modernism gallery in DUMBO. Could have been the BrouCzech beer.

5. Prague Kolektiv's Barton Quillen and painter Ahn Duong.

6. An enameled barber's chair, circa 1960.

7. From Czecho-deco to Communist chic.

8. Talking Czech (design).

9. PR rep Susan Becher and editor Peter Webster.

10. DUMBO designer Christopher Coleman and Prague Kolektiv's Giovanni Negrisin.

11. Paul Whalen and John Boyland of Robert A.M. Stern Architects.
