The gallery&#8217;s founding father, Alexander Moghadam, soon to be 86 years old, but who could easily pass for ten years younger, is preparing to hand over the reins.

On the terrace, with dinner already well underway, the Princely Family arrive at a table a few metres away. Prince Rainier III, Princess Grace Kelly, their daughter St\u00e9phanie and young Albert II take their seats.
