Join us for a French Riviera fête celebrating the connections between Gabrielle (Coco) Chanel and the Wendy and Emery Reves Collection. Rhonda K. Garelick unravels the mysteries behind this global icon in her bestselling biography, Mademoiselle: Coco Chanel and the Pulse of History. In 1953, Emery Reves purchased Villa La Pausa from Chanel, and by an extraordinary coincidence, the DMA has become the major repository of objects that had once belonged to Chanel. Olivier Meslay and Martha MacLeod have uncovered layers of rich history and published a beautifully illustrated catalogue, From Chanel to Reves: La Pausa and Its Collections at the Dallas Museum of Art.
VIP Experience includes priority seating and booksigning access, a book of your choice, and a three-course French dinner with wine at 6:00 p.m. in the Founders Room with both authors.
