This star-studded gala was held amidst exquisite pieces of Asian traditional and contemporary art offered by the world's pre-eminent dealers. The Opening Night Preview to benefit Asia Society is always a highlight of Asia Week in New York. The elegant cocktail reception was followed by a private dinner for Collectors and Young Patrons in one of the city's most spectacular settings.
