The 411: In anticipation of the Feb. 18 gala, "The Masked Ball," Tenenbaum & Co. dressed the contemporary home in a dazzling display of gala-worthy jewels, curated by Tony Bradfield and Kevin Black. Adding to the entertainment of the 150-plus guests was a selection of major artworks for purchase, presented by Barbara Davis and her namesake gallery.
