HISTORICAL SOCIETY AND TIFFANY & CO HONOR ARCHIVAL EVENING COMMITTEE AND ARTISTRY OF PALOMA PICASSO

PALM BEACH, Fla. (March 24, 2004) – Jeffrey Bateman, vice-president of Tiffany & Co. and the Historical Society of Palm Beach County, paid tribute to the benefit committee of the Historical Society’s 2003 Archival Evening with an intimate luncheon featuring designer Paloma Picasso.

Guests included Emilia Fanjul, Danielle Hickox, Don Ponton, Jean Tailer, George Elmore, Steven Stolman, Brantley and Peter Knowles, Sandra Krakoff and Frances Scaife. Each person had the opportunity to preview Boldly Admired, the newest addition to Picasso’s Tiffany & Co. jewelry collection. Picasso, the fourth child of the famous 20th Century artist Pablo Picasso, was literally destined to become a designer, inspired by her exposure to all aspects of art from an early age. In the 1980s she launched, Paloma Picasso, which includes designer fashion accessories and a perfume line.

The Historical Society’s annual Archival Evening honors individuals whose lives, legacies and accomplishments have helped shape the history of Palm Beach. This year’s committee, chaired by Steven Stolman with vice-chair Maureen Basse, brought together over 100 guests to pay tribute to the legacy of famed Palm Beach society photographer, Betty Kuhner. Kuhner, through creativity and the power of a lens, was able to capture the lifestyles of Palm Beach’s most notable families, documenting the spontaneity of family life in natural settings.
