2012 Highlights:

New to AIFAF this year, world-renowned Fabergé will present a special exhibition and lecture series - Faberge: The Rebirth of an Icon- lecture by Geza von Habsburg. Paying homage to the legendary Imperial Eggs created by Peter Carl Fabergé for the Romanov family, and celebrating the Egg as a timeless universal symbol of life, Fabergé has designed a collection of one-of-a-kind High Jewelry Egg Pendants, Les Fameux de Fabergé. Each design illustrates a traditional Russian proverb, through complex, multi-layered concepts brought to life by the finest craftsmanship in the world today. The first of these creations launched in Paris during Couture Week, July 2011, marking the beginning of a series of twelve High Jewelry Egg Pendants, one for every month of the year. Each pendant, a wearable object of desire, involves a lengthy, exacting and in many cases pioneering fabrication process, pushing boundaries of both design and manufacture, and taking contemporary craftsmanship to a new level of sophistication.

Among highlights for AIFAF's outstanding lecturers this year, Victoria Wyeth, granddaughter of "America's Painter" Andrew Wyeth will present a special lecture and presentation. Dynamic and energetic, Ms. Wyeth has been sharing her knowledge about the art of the Wyeth family since she was fifteen years old. Her unique personal perspective offers memories and insights gained through years of discussions about art with her grandfather, amplified by chats with her uncle, the painter Jamie Wyeth.
