The Biennale des Antiquaires took place at the Grand Palais in Paris and featured thousands of artworks and jewelry. Designer Karl Lagerfeld created a gray and white environment like city streets to showcase the pieces. The aim was for the beauty of the objects on display to compete with that of the women visiting the exhibition. Art from various places and time periods were represented, including pieces from Lucio Fontana, Japan, Asia, Africa, Andy Warhol, and rare works from exotic locales.
