6 pm: Private Gallery Tour + Erté-Inspired Cognac Cocktail at M.S. Rau
Often called the “Father of Art Deco,” Erté was a tastemaker like no other. His designs for the stage, runway and red carpet shaped an entire movement of like-minded artists. This collection features over 160 of his original gouaches, along with period jewelry from Cartier and Raymond Yard, glass from René Lalique, clocks from Tiffany & Co. and more. Join us as we trace Erté's incomparable impact on the Art Deco era.
