DINNERS

18 Nov 2023 - 16 Dec 2023

In the vibrant pulsating heart of the art world, collective dinners serve as a vital lifeblood. These are no ordinary meals, but grand affairs, often swarming with a kaleidoscope of characters. They are the celebratory feasts that toast the openings of exhibitions, the convivial gatherings that accompany the bustling art fairs, and the memorable occasions that mark significant events in the realm of contemporary art.
