Established in 1996 by artist-jeweler James Taffin de Givenchy, the house of Taffin has become synonymous with objets d’art of extraordinary imagination that celebrate exceptional gems and epitomize technical mastery. Also, Mr. Taffin de Givenchy has earned renown as an original talent in the universe of fancy baubles – an apropos success for this French fashion scion whose family includes couturier Hubert de Givenchy. In this lavishly illustrated program, John Francisco Andreu will highlight beguiling Taffin works that are boldly conceived, sculptural and spellbinding in color, while leading a conversation with the artist to perceive the essence of his organically evolving jeweled aesthetic. Taffin de Givenchy will share his views on such 20th century masters as Boivin, Belperron, Verdura and Schlumberger, and offer commentary on taste and style among the 21st century cognoscenti of all things haute.
