Everyone lights up when they see that little blue box from Tiffany & Company. Now there's a different reason to get excited. Internationally known "starchitect," Frank Gehry has partnered with Tiffany to produce a line of jewelery. Tiffany's will be launching the line of Frank Gehry jewelry nationally with the "Rolling launch" starting in California. Chicago will get to have it's own launch event, held at the Oak Brook Center Tiffany & Co. store, Saturday September 16th. The invitation only cocktail reception will is being held in conjunction with a special fund raiser for the Frank Lloyd Wright Preservation Trust. A short program discussing Tiffany's, Gehry and the Preservation Trust's work at both the Home and Studio and Robie House will be given. There will also be a special Frank Gehry piece raffle and silent auction containing four Wright-related pieces and three Tiffany's pieces.
Prairie Arts loves a swanky event as much as the next person and we love supporting the Preservation Trust, so we made sure to donate one of our exquisitely detailed Dining Room decorative wooden screens for the silent auction. If you don't have a ticket to the event, you can check out the Gehry collection at the Tiffany website.
