Wendy Schmidt and Kos Evans
I love to sail. And, yes, I've been known to "rock." I've even meet a few rockstars over the years. (Just please don't tell my 14-year-old son I said so. He already thinks I'm pretty cringe.) I've met a few royals and attended some very cool art exhibitions over the years too.
But I've never been to a modern art exhibition that combines rockstars, yachts and all sorts of royalty quite like the event was held to benefit Nantucket Community Sailing at the oh-so-authentic Thomas Macy Warehouse on the island. And lots of well-connected people who love the ocean, yachts, and art were there to see Kos Evans's expanded Rock and Royals modern art collection. It features one-of-a-kind images of legendary rockstars and all sorts of royalty who sail, on rare, one-of-a-kind sailcloth from yachts owned by the likes of Pete Townshend, the Prince of Monaco, and American royalty such as JFK too.
Rock and Royals on display
According to KOS, Rock & Royals is more than an exhibition. "It's a celebration that pays homage to the legends who owned these sails and to the sea itself," she says. By transforming these authentic pieces of history into art, Kos creates a unique dialogue between history, celebrity, royalty, and contemporary artistic expression.
