Isabelle Bscher, Krystyna Gmurzynska, and Mathias Rastorfer of Galerie Gmurzynska hosted a private dinner to honor celebrated designer Alexandre de Betak, on October 17th.
A starry crowd of creatives turned out to fete de Betak’s fire-themed design for the gallery’s show-stealing booth at French art fair, FIAC. Vincent Cassel snapped a selfie with Bscher against the backdrop of a custom red fire truck on the banks of the Seine. Ellen von Unwerth, André Balazs, Caroline de Maigret, and Michel Gaubert were also photographed posing on the truck.
In his visionary FIAC installation titled, On Fire, a diverse list of artists using or depicting fire in all forms throughout the 20th Century are featured, from Joan Miró, Otto Piene, Yves Klein, Alberto Burri, Roberto Matta, up to Tom Wesselmann and others. The pieces are housed in a booth crafted from traditional industrial materials and painted in a color palette of fire-engine red and white.
Betak is a regular collaborator with Bscher and Galerie Gmurzynska, which will next be headed to Art Basel Miami Beach (December 6-9, 2018).
