The Twig Collection Imagine a winter tree, stripped of its leaves, its branches standing strong in the face of a storm. Take that strength and form it into the shape of a bangle around one’s wrist and become adorned with the strength of nature. It is raw. It is refined. It is inspired by the earth and the shapes of strength that embellish it. The Twig Collection is the universal Tree of Life. The K. Brunini Twig Collection comes from the volcanic hillside towns of Mt. Etna, and Lanzarote in the Canaries. It comes from the archipelago of La Maddalena, Istanbul, Jerusalem, New York, and La Jolla. It comes from our backyard fantasies. It is poetic driftwood either lost or found at sea. K. Brunini Jewels’ inspiration is rooted in natural forms forged into precious metal, and enhanced by diamonds, pearls, and gemstones.

Naturalist guides conduct small group excursions into the depths of the world's most biodiverse rainforest, rewarding guests with up-close wildlife encounters. This once-in-a-lifetime experience is all-inclusive and features Amazonia-inspired cuisine by award-winning chef Pedro Miguel Schiaffino. Setting a new standard for luxury river cruising on the Amazon, Aqua Nera draws its design inspiration from the Peruvian Amazon’s mystical black water lagoons and bears the hallmarks of contemporary style and generous interiors that Aqua Expeditions ships are known for.Whether they are intimate encounters with exotic wildlife and exhilarating adventures ranging from jungle walks, spotting the legendary pink dolphins, piranha fishing, kayaking along the Amazon river’s narrow black water tributaries, a guest experience on the luxurious and custom-designed Aqua Nera is not to be missed.
Every day aboard the Aqua Nera presents the perfect opportunity to spot the Amazon’s legendary pink and grey dolphins. Guests can cruise along the Yanayacu Pucate and the Ucayali rivers in the comfort of our custom-designed skiffs for a closer look at the friendly and playful creatures, as well as kayak and swim in these unspoiled black waters. One of our most thrilling excursions is a jungle walk through the primary Amazon rainforest, which is known as the world’s largest living pharmacy thanks to the medicinal properties of its plant life. Listen to our expert naturalists as they expound on their knowledge of the flora and fauna, you may even meet some jungle dwellers! Kayaking along the Amazon River is a must-do when you come aboard the Aqua Nera. This is one of many moments where you will go deeper into the pristine landscape and explore the narrower creeks, where you will be able to notice details that are not obvious from the ship itself. Our expert naturalists will point out exotic bird species and their calls, capuchin monkeys, giant water lilies, and even taricaya turtles. Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned fisherman, there is no doubt that fishing on the Amazon River is something that cannot be topped. Try your hand at piranha fishing or if time permits witness local fishermen make their daily catch. Aqua Expeditions works closely with consultant chef Pedro Miguel Schiaffino who initiated the Paiche Conservation Project to bring the paiche fish (Arapaima gigas), a giant fish local to the Amazon that nearly became extinct, to a thriving and healthy population. After an incredible day out on the water exploring this seasonally flooded rainforest, there is nothing better than returning to Aqua Nera to enjoy a Pisco Sour on the deck or inside the ship’s designer lounge.

The Night Sea 1978 Lithograph, hand colored with colored pencil Diptych 65 ¼ by 34 ¼ inches Edition 30 The Night SeaThe Night Sea series really began in Berlin in 1977. In December, the Northern darkness descends, and one is reminded of a time when Medieval man stayed indoors for the month. I found myself without a sun-filled landscape for the first time. I spent the days in the Dahlem Museum looking at the dark Rembrandts and Goya’s and was particularly struck by the late Goya etchings of the strange creatures flying through the night. A small stone relief of Jacob’s ladder with men going from the neither world to heaven to the neither world and back also caught my eye. I thought a lot about the descent of Orpheus, and Christ into the underworld. I kept imagining myself at the bottom of the Bardo tankas and wandering through the lower infernos of Bosch paintings. There is a myth call the Night Sea Journey, the most popular being Jonah and the whale. The hero is swallowed and taken to the bottom of the sea. He frees himself by lighting a fire and emerges transformed by the experience. I had a dream in which I was on an island and floating in a black sea in the dark. Sea turtles and scientists were guiding me through the waters showing me the beauty of the sea at night. The week I returned to New York from Berlin, I got a grant to go to Australia. There I did my first night diving, and the Night Sea Series began.
Ann McCoy received her B.F.A. from the University of Colorado in 1969 and an M. A. in sculpture and drawing from the University of California at Los Angeles in 1972. Her first works were wooden sculptures of mountains; later, she made cast resin sculptures of icebergs. In the early 1970s, after she abandoned sculpture for monumentally scaled drawings done in colored pencil, her success came fast. By the mid-1970s she was a nationally acclaimed artist with some solo shows to her credit. In 1974, McCoy first exhibited drawings of underwater explorations, for which she is largely known today. A scuba diver since 1968, McCoy works from photographs of the plant and animal life of the subaquatic world, creating drawings and hand-colored lithographs distinctive for their meticulous detail and surrealistic mood. There is a reserve price on this auction item of $6,500. Value: $7,500.00 Generously donated by an anonymous donor.-Ann McCoy

I have been tusked by an elephant, almost eaten by a sperm whale, knocked off my feet by a rhinoceros, embraced by a jaguar, given a haircut by a tiger shark, chased by a hippo and a black mamba, brought to my knees by malaria and dengue. But I was always able to avoid the greatest danger of all. Never stop exploring the things that open you, or that you love.
About Gregory Colbert Photographer/filmmaker Gregory Colbert is the creator of the exhibition Ashes and Snow, an immersive experience of nature that combines photographic artworks, films, and soundscapes, housed in a purpose-built traveling structure called the Nomadic Museum. To date, Ashes and Snow has attracted over 10 million visitors, making it the most attended exhibition by any living artist in history. Colbert was born in Toronto, Canada, in 1960. He began his career in Paris in 1983 making documentary films on social issues. His first exhibition, Timewaves, opened to wide critical acclaim in 1992 at the Museum of Elysée in Switzerland. For the next ten years, Colbert went off the grid and did not publicly share his art or show any films. He began traveling the world to photograph and film wondrous interactions between animals and humans. After ten years passed, Colbert returned to present Ashes and Snow at the Arsenale in Venice, Italy, in 2002. With his debut, Photo magazine declared, “A new master is born.” The New York Times, in an article by Alan Riding, stated, “The power of the images comes less from their formal beauty than from the way they envelop the viewer in their mood. . . .They are simply windows to a world in which silence and patience govern time.” Ashes and Snow has been described as "extraordinary" by the Economist, and "distinctive . . . monumental in every sense" by the Wall Street Journal. Stern magazine described the photographs as "fascinating," and Vanity Fair named Gregory Colbert in its "Best of the Best." Selected Works Printed on Cartiera Magnani paper first created in 1404. Produced in Tuscany on a machine dating back to the early 1800s, this handmade cotton fiber paper replicates precisely the paper Napoleon chose for the announcement of his marriage to Maria Luisa D’Austria. The binding utilizes an Oriental method to accommodate the custom size of the thread, along with binding techniques common at the end of the 17th century. Each page is hand cut one at a time, a total of 456 tears per book. Printed at twice the standard density, the images possess exquisite resolution. While the final images appear as sepia, the printing utilizes up to nine colors per page, finished with a transparent varnish. Interior pages are printed in Italy. Both the catalog cover and collector’s box are handcrafted from Nepalese paper coated with beeswax, and tied with thread stained with hibiscus tea leaves and Nepalese beads.Gregory Colbert
