...Tiko and Hampshire art pottery, and then moved on to the furniture of French architect Prouv. After visiting one of Philippe Starck's hotels in the mid-1980s, Krakoff fell in love with the French designer's work. That led to an interest in French contemporary furniture designers like Andr?? Dubreuil, Olivier Gagnre and Eric Schmidt...
...emerging as President George W. Bush's anti-Chvez--a conservative counterweight to a resurgent Latin American left led by Venezuela's gringo-bashing President Hugo Chvez. Leftists won seven of 11 Latin presidential elections last year, and Caldern beat his left-wing opponent, Andr??s Manuel Lpez Obrador, by only half a percentage point.

To put the argument in familiar and somewhat simplified historical terms, on one side are the supremely rational (and unashamedly artificial) boulevards of Andr?? Le Ntre's design for the Gardens of Versailles, with their long Baroque vistas and knife-edge perpendiculars. On the other side are the parks and estates of Lancelot (Capability) Brown, the 18th century English landscape designer whose gently (and shrewdly) idealized version of nature, with its faux-pastoral scenic...
