Ralph Pucci and Galerie Host an Artful Evening in Los Angeles
Guests mingled among Patrick Naggar‘s “Moments” collection while taking in Gail LeBoff’s “Glacier Girls” and experiencing live portraits by Rebecca Moses
On Tuesday evening, Galerie and Ralph Pucci invited honored guests to the design gallery’s Los Angeles showroom for an inspiring gathering featuring new furniture and lighting by Patrick Naggar, photography by Gail LeBoff, and new work plus live portraits by Rebecca Moses in a moment that united the trio in symbolic contexts.
“Ralph Pucci is a master of hosting an artful event—and Tuesday night was the perfect example of that,” says Terrebonne. “The mix of new exhibitions alongside live portraits by the esteemed Rebecca Moses was the perfect way to keep guests mixing and mingling. Plus, the live trio playing some of Ralph’s jazz favorites adds such energy to the extraordinary space.”
Guests moved about among Naggar’s newest collection, “Moments,” which draws inspiration from the Mediterranean Sea and the sky. Standout figures from the collection include hand-sculpted Plasterglass lighting that evokes flowers, projecting light and shadow in playful movement. Three bronze disks on the “Celeste” coffee table supporting a silver-late top are meant to depict the north and south skies and an eclipse.
Elsewhere, attendees took in LeBoff’s latest photography series titled “Glacier Girls,” which explores the concept of vulnerability with young, singular figures within Iceland’s stark terrain. The series was a decade in the making for LeBoff. “I bring all of my history to my work; it’s a part of me,” says LeBoff. “And I was drawn to Iceland, suggested by artist friends who knew I was looking for more moody environments, because it reminded me of my childhood, staring out of the windows daydreaming as the weather changed.”
Also on display, and in addition to her live portraits, Moses presented a new series of paintings titled “Elegance in Suspension,” which depicts women moving through space with certainty, set against abstracted, tonal fields to create a sense of tension. The evening builds on Moses’s long-standing collaboration with Ralph Pucci, which previously showcased her debut collection titled “Imperfectly Perfect.”
