| Gifted to the Metropolitan Museum of Art by American financier and avid collector J. Pierpoint Morgan in 1907, Hoentschel’s collection is primarily comprised of exquisite examples of medieval art and Eighteenth-century French pieces renowned for their beauty. The exhibition features sculptures, textiles, metalwork, furniture, paneling, and ceramics from this collection, which has been rarely viewed since the 1950s. FHS is proud to partner with BGC to now bring this exquisite collection back into the public eye. The exhibition will run from April 4-August 11, 2013 at BGC in New York and is not to be missed! FHS Chairman Elizabeth Stribling, and FHS NY Chapter Co-Chairmen Odile de Schiétère-Longchampt and Guy N. Robinson, as well as other French and American patrons of FHS and the BCG showed their generous support for the benefit dinner and preview. Honorary Co-Chairs of the dinner were Irene Roosevelt Aitken and Elizabeth M. Stafford, both longstanding supporters of the Decorative Arts and of numerous cultural institutions, and also both sponsors of the BCG exhibition. The BCG was represented by its Director and Founder Dr. Susan Weber, Executive Planning Committee member EdwardLee Cave, Gallery Director Nina Stritzler-Levine, and Director of External Affairs Lynn Thommen. |
