World Monument Fund Head Fêted in Palm Beach

After an informative presen-tation by Mr. Bertrand du Vignaud, President of the World Monument Fund Europe, at the American International Fine Arts Fair, there had to be a reception, and there was, later that evening. Held at the intriguing West Palm Beach home of furniture designer Lars Bolander, the soirée was co-hosted by interior designer Juan Pablo Molyneux.

The gathering was lively, with guests drifting across the lawn to the wonderful, dramatically lighted pool house.

Prince & Princess de Bourbon Savoya greeted Mr. du Vignaud. Mai Hallingby was there, and designer Arnold Scaasi arrived late with Blanche McCoun.

Gazing at antiquities, and ascending to the architec-turally unique galleries to gaze at artworks, the guests included Newport’s Ronald Lee Fleming III with Monique Ogilvy. Bonnie Burnham, President of the WMF, talked about the agency’s worldwide preservation work, Grace Meigher chatted with Wilbur Ross, while Nancy Horton, Chris Ohstrom, Gay Bordal, and Jim Inglis laughed with friends.
