The Hidden Dutch Colonial
New York magazine|July 1-14, 2024
When Nicholas Howey and his late husband, Gerard Widdershoven, bought this 1925 house tucked away behind the hedges in Bridgehampton, they did little more than paint it-and fill it with art.

The Hidden Dutch Colonial

I ALWAYS DREAMED of having a country house with a separate studio," says Nicholas Howey, which is just what he got when he and his husband, Gerard Widdershoven, bought this Bridgehampton property in 2008. The privet was hiding the Dutch Colonial from both the street and the fact it was sitting on one full acre of land-enough room for a studio in what was once a three-car garage and an old barn Howey describes as "adding to the atmosphere." Howey, a native of Dubois, Pennsylvania, graduated from NYU with an M.A. in art in 1974 and later went to work for the artist Robert Rauschenberg.

THE BEST ART SHOWS OF THE YEAR

IN NOVEMBER, Sotheby's made history when it sold for a million bucks a painting made by artificial intelligence. Ai-Da, \"the first humanoid robot artist to have an artwork auctioned by a major auction house,\" created a portrait of Alan Turing that resembles nothing more than a bad Francis Bacon rip-off. Still, the auction house described the sale as \"a new frontier in the global art market.\"

THE BIGGEST PODCAST MOMENTS OF THE YEAR

A STRANGE THING happened with podcasts in 2024: The industry was repeatedly thrust into the spotlight owing to a preponderance of head-turning events and a presidential-election cycle that radically foregrounded the medium's consequential nature. To reflect this, we've carved out a list of ten big moments from the year as refracted through podcasting.

THE BEST THEATER OF THE YEAR

IT'S BEEN a year of successful straight plays, even measured by a metric at which they usually do poorly: ticket sales. Partially that's owed to Hollywood stars: Jeremy Strong, Jim Parsons, Rachel Zegler, Rachel McAdams (to my mind, the most compelling).

THE BEST ALBUMS OF THE YEAR

2024 WAS one big stress test that presented artists with a choice: Face uncomfortable realities or serve distractions to the audience. Pop music turned inward while hip-hop weathered court cases and incalculable losses. Country struggled to reconcile conservative interests with a much wider base of artists. But the year's best music offered a reprieve.

THE BEST TELEVISION OF THE YEAR

IT WAS SURPRISING how much 2024 felt like an uneventful wake for the Peak TV era. There was still great television, but there was much more mid or meh television and far fewer moments when a critical mass of viewers seemed equally excited about the same series.

PEOPLE LOVED Megalopolis, hated it, puzzled over it, clipped it into memes, and tried to astroturf it into a camp classic, but, most important, they cared about it even though it featured none of the qualities you'd expect of a breakthrough work in these noisy times.
