Collectors Fly to Palm Beach from Europe for
Christophe von Hohenberg’s Opening Exhibit at Cavalier Galleries in Palm Beach
Event raises over $6,000 for Dreyfoos School of the Arts Foundation’s Duke Nelson Memorial Scholarship
Renowned business entrepreneurs and savvy art collectors, John Paulson and Jane Holzer (a.k.a Baby Jane Holzer) co-hosted the private preview of Christophe von Hohenberg’s: The White Album of the Hamptons at Cavalier Galleries’s second Palm Beach location, at 292 S. County Road The by-invitation reception, which took place on the evening of March 10th, welcomed over 150 prominent collectors, several of whom flew in from Europe and New York for the special event. The exhibition will continue to be on view through March 17th.
Kameron Ramirez and Nick Hissom, co-founders of Aktion Art, bid on Group of Surfers, the photograph generously donated by the artist to benefit the Duke Nelson Memorial Scholarship, an endowment offered by Dreyfoos School of the Arts Foundation, bringing the total amount raised to over $6500.
“Aktion art loves supporting local fellow galleries. A cause that helps local students of the arts resonates with me, said Ramirez. Christophe’s work is beautiful. I enjoyed meeting him and hearing about how he photographed Andy Warhol’s memorial service.”
“We are beyond excited to have raised enough money to offer all 4 scholarship finalists an endowment fund,” said Maribel Alvarez, co-founder of the Duke Nelson Memorial Scholarship. “I am truly grateful to Christophe, Ron Cavalier, Kameron Ramirez, Jane Holzer and John Paulson for this opportunity.”
