Stemming from an exceptional artistic world, the collection of Colette Gazanion, known as Colette Gaza, reflects her close ties to the worlds of art and fashion. The daughter of the poet Édouard Gazanion, she grew up surrounded by figures such as Francis Carco, Apollinaire, Max Jacob, Picasso, Braque, and Chagall. A music-hall singer, she later moved in the circles of haute couture and the arts. Her husband, an industrialist with the firm Steiner Frères, assembled for her a significant collection of exquisitely crafted paintings, fine jewelry from leading houses, as well as high-end, futuristic designer furniture—all reflecting the owner’s own style.
