HVAF Hosting Sponsor Christofle, has been creating, producing, and selling silver objects in the time-honored tradition of silversmithing, inspired by contemporary way of life since 1830. The brand nurtures the "Art of Sharing" through five universes: getting together for a meal, talking over drinks around the bar, adding a touch of beauty through decoration, offering jewelry and accessories as a gift, and enjoying moments to celebrate children.

The Art Patron Opening Night Preview takes place on Wednesday, September 2nd from 6:00 PM - 12:00 AM and will be the "first look" event kicking off the opening weekend for all serious collectors, curators, art world luminaries, and press, and provides an intimate look at some of the most important works at the forefront of the international contemporary art movement.
