“By honoring Jacques Grange and Fabrice Grinda, FIAF celebrates style and vision,” explained FIAF President Marie-Monique Steckel. “Style because they both have developed an acute sense of turning life into art; vision because they both help define what our world of tomorrow will look like.”

Pilier d’Or 2014 Internet entrepreneur and angel investor Fabrice Grinda explained that failure is the road to success. “Once you lose that fear (of failure), you open yourself up to these amazing adventures,” Grinda told a packed ballroom at the Plaza hotel. The 2014 FIAF Trophée des Arts gala evening raised 1.2 Million dollars, which will support FIAF‘s educational and cultural programs and was co-chaired by Lauren Santo Domingo, Jeremy Levine, and Robert G. Wilmers.

The Grande Dame of Antique Fairs
Biennale des Antiquaires, Paris The XXVI Biennale des Antiquaires:Part 3 of 3There is some considerable talk about the Biennale coming to New York this November. Christian Deydier, the president of the Syndicat National des Antiquaires, has long toyed with the idea, and it’s becoming quite clear that this may become a reality this fall. If that’s the case, I venture that it will be well received by many people from the United States. This past week, I’ve gotten a great deal of feedback, and read a lot of press about this foremost fair of antiques, fine art, and jewelry.
Fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld was invited to “reimagine” the exteriors of the old palais. Being that he is one to dazzle his audience at all times, the majority in attendance anticipated an extravaganza in the style of the Chanel shows that he’s become so well known for. Instead, what they got was a demure and uncharacteristic scenography from the Ice Man. Nevertheless, as his hot air balloon took center stage, the euphoric atmosphere was elegant, most appropriate, and for the well-heeled who were seriously interested in collecting design, and jewelry, this was the place to be. Are you ready to enter the festivities inside the grand palais?
