- <p> Art deco is alive and well in the hands of Erte. The
- flamboyant designer, who has completed work on seven carafes as
- well as sets and costumes for two Manhattan musicals, among
- other projects, promises "never, ever to retire. I'd be too
- bored." Nearing his 97th birthday, Erte, always an optimist, is
- remodeling his finca on Majorca. "The house," he says, "is my
- well-being." Fruit trees are being planted -- presumably to be
- enjoyed in the artist's old age.
