...beef stew, of course--unless they're in the mood for chicken Tetrazzini or black-bean soup with ham. "Mmmm. It smells great," announces Sarah to no one in particular, as she savors the steaming stew. The sumptuous dinner was the creation of the family's personal chef, Anne Hayward, 55, who left hours ago. The only evidence of her efforts is the tantalizing aromas lingering in the kitchen and the three weeks' worth of meals freshly stocked in the refrigerator and freezer...
When the Bachas first used Hayward last October, they were ambivalent about hiring someone to cook for them. Would it be worth the expense? (Hayward charges $225, on top of the grocery bill, for about 15 family meals.) How tasty would the food be? Would friends in their neighborhood--affluent but hardly overrun by servants--view the Bachas with disdain? "It sounded pretentious," says Sarah.

As Kudielka points out in his catalog introduction, Klee's work was not rooted in any movement. However abstract, it came out of the experience of nature and culture blended.

...have also been craning their necks and asking questions. Raised on the promise of an economic bubble that burst in the early '90s, this artistic generation is both wide-eyed and dark-spirited?and creatively seizing the moment with a large survey exhibition, "Facts of Life," at London's Hayward Gallery. "It is a time in which there is a profound sense of anxiety about the future as well as a strong sense of self-reflection and analysis," says curator Rachel Kent, who has brought nine emerging Japanese artists and their work to Australia for "NEO-TOKYO: Japanese...
