Hosted by mother and daughter art dealers, Krystyna Gmurzynska and Isabelle Bscher, and the gallery CEO Mathias Rastorfer, the dinner included Susan Sarandon, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Ellen Burstyn, among others honoring Christo, and style visionary Alexandre De Betak, who designed Galerie Gmurzynska’s booth at Tefaf New York Spring, which opened the following evening.

Galerie Gmurzynska’s celebratory dinner also included Valesca Hermes, Julie and Billy Macklowe, Flavin Judd, Rohan Marley, Jennifer Creel, art historian Germano Celant, Janna Bullock, and Isabelle’s brother Lucas Bscher.

Said Isabelle Bscher: “Tefaf has a great tradition of bringing together the best of design, antiques and art, so to have a fair of this caliber in New York is very exciting. Alex de Betak is an icon of stage design who has created the most amazing environments in the world of fashion especially. We always find it fascinating to have geniuses from other fields construct great environments for art.”
