The sculpture collection was started in 1965 and consists of works by major twentieth-century artists.

Our July Book Club

THE PALM BEACH AFFAIR

by Peter Antonucci

Her Bernadoodle, Paisley, has become the talk—and the terror—of the Regal Sloan, a Palm Beach condo where gossip flows more freely than the cocktails. Grace is everything the poolside yentas love to hate: beautiful, independent, and unapologetically single. When an unfortunate “incident” in the lobby sparks fresh scandal, they want her gone for good.

This event is limited to 15 participants, including the host.
