In 1927, expat Erskine Gwynne gathered his circle of writers—including Ernest Hemingway, Louis Bromfield, and Arthur Moss—to create a magazine called The Boulevardier – sharp, irreverent, and alive with the electricity of café society for a short five years. Nearly a century later, it has relaunched with a newly rediscovered piece by Ernest Hemingway printed here for the very first time, and available worldwide. Inspired by and at Harry’s Bar, the oldest in Europe, and where many classic cocktails were created, The Boulevardier is more than a magazine and reinvigorated with writing that carries the spirit of its founders, along with contemporary essays, art, and photography. Editor Paige Noelle Miller joins us in Charleston for a stateside launch and perhaps even a cocktail, too.
About Paige Miller
Paige N. Miller holds a Master of Letters degree in Art History from the University of St Andrews, where she became interested in the complex relationships between artists’ letters, notebooks, diaries, and their visual work. She is fascinated by the connections and insights that can come from artists’ writings, recently working on the Schneemann Diaries Project. Her interest in the word/image relationship also extends to modern and contemporary text-based art. As an independent art historian and provenance researcher specializing in Modern, Post-War, and Contemporary art, she helps private clients and institutions to understand more about their collections’ unique history.
Her writing has been featured in Berlin Art Link, The Art Gorgeous, FREDERIC Magazine, G&G Magazine, and she regularly contributes to FAD Magazine. She is also the editor of The Boulevardier, a publication based on the archival magazine produced by expat writers in 1920s Paris at Harry’s New York Bar.
In addition to her editorial work, she has recently contributed to various artistic and research initiatives at the Aspen Institute: Artist Endowed Foundations Initiative – AEFI (New York, NY), Carolee Schneemann Foundation (New Paltz, NY), Stanford University Libraries (Stanford, CA), Yieldstreet: Athena Art Finance (New York, NY), De Krijtberg (Amsterdam, NL), The Phillips Collection (Washington, D.C.) and The Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art (Charleston, SC).
Previously, she has consulted on image rights research for two books, Victorian Visions of Suburban Utopia: Abandoning Babylon (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2020) and Venus and the Arts of Love in Renaissance Florence (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2021).
She was awarded an Art Table National Fellowship in 2024.
