Oskar Dieter Alex von Rosenberg-Redé, 3rd baron von Rosenberg-Redé (1922-2004), was an aristocratic banker - he helped manage the Rolling Stones' burgeoning fortunes - and aesthete-socialite whose historically informed sense of spectacle made the costume balls that he hosted at the Hôtel Lambert internationally notorious. A highly evocative memento, the greater part comprised of Vincent's superbly atmospheric, velvety carbon prints.
