What: Accademia Fine Art Auction Where: Hôtel de Paris When: Fri 27 to Sat 28 July 10am to 8pm (public view) Auction: Sunday 29 July at 5.30pm Web: http://www.accademiafineart.com The latest sale from Monaco's Accademia auction house includes treasures from the Sultan of Brunei, made by the British jewellers Asprey, a Monaco private art collection made under the guidance of Professor Anton Luigi Laura, and a special focus on Russian art with a fine sketchbook by Natalia Goncharova containing 21 watercolours of ballet costumes. The Brunei collection is utterly outstanding, with a number of exquisite combinations of crystal, gold, enamel and abundant settings of diamonds, rubies, emeralds and sapphires. Typical is the unique butterfly box pictured below, which is expected to fetch between €140,000 and €180,000 at auction. From the same collection comes a functioning terrestrial globe, its continents fashioned from 18ct gold and each capital from a single ruby. A chronometrical mechanism indicates the time as the clockwork globe sweeps around. Of particular interest to buyers in both Monaco and Moscow is the 21-leaf sketchbook of Natalia Goncharova. The great-niece of Pushkin and a leading member of the Futurist movement, Goncharova collaborated with Diaghilev, Stravinsky and others on the work of the Ballets Russes - the celebrated dance company with which Monaco is most intimately associated, and whose centenary was celebrated here just two years ago. The book is a catalogue of the costumes for the ballet 'On the Dnieper' (''На Днепре'), scored in 1930 by Prokoviev for a performance by the Ballets Russes a year after the death of Diaghilev. The sketchbook, personally inscribed to Countess Piella Giustiniani Bandini, represents a unique view into the style and history of an extraordinary artistic collaboration, and is being auctioned with an estimate between €180,000 and €220,000. In addition, the 265-lot auction includes a wealth of chinoiserie, Meissenware, and a number of excellent paintings both ancient and modern. Viacheslav Plotnikov's view of the Hotel de Paris from 1962 (below) is one of several pieces likely to attract Monaco buyers, in the price range of €2,500 to €3,500: The pieces are being shown in the Salle Beaumarchais in the Hotel de Paris from 27 to 28 July, with the auction itself at 5.30pm on Sunday 29 July.

Eighteen professional rose-growers from six countries (Germany, France, Italy, Japan, Switzerland, and the USA) will be participating in the latter competition, and the variety that gains most points in any category will be honoured with the prestigious 'Golden Rose of Monaco', a piece of jewellery specially created by the sponsors.

What: Christmas Mix - the work of Filippo Avalle and others Where: Galerie Carré Doré When: Tue-Sat, 6 December 2011 to 16 January 2012 Contact Tel: +377 97 77 12 86One of Monaco's leading contemporary art galleries is showing the best of its year's work until 16 January. If you're looking for that extra special present for Christmas, there's no better place to start looking than the Galerie Carré Doré, at 5 Rue Princesse Caroline. Concentrating largely on contemporary painting and sculpture, the gallery has built up a strong portfolio of artists who engage in the creation of beautiful, sensory pieces. A good example is Konstantin Khudyakov, whose 'multi-touch' creations are at the cutting edge of interactive digital art. Another is Filippo Avalle, an artist who is also an instructor at the NABA School of design in Milan. Born in Geneva in 1947 and educated at Turin's Accademia Albertina, since the 1970s he has been creating innovative luminous sculptures made from methacrylate, fibre optics, and white LED. Taking his cue from the poet Ezra Pound, whose artistic output included a single work 'The Cantos', produced over the course of a lifetime, Avalle too has come to view his entire artistic output - whether in painting, sculpture, architecture or lighting design - as the progressive creation of a single, lifetime's work entitled 'Opera Unica'.  Several pieces are on show at the Gallery, including the geometrically intriguing 'Lingua di Donna', and works of an astonishing iridescent beauty such as 'L'Uomo Riccio nel Cerchio Oceanico' (The Rich Man in Ocean's Orbit). Lingua di Donna, by Filippo Avalle Also exhibiting at the Carré Doré will be a slection of artists whose work has appeared at the gallery in the preceding year, including Konstantin Khudyakov, Amanda Besl, Timofei Smirnov, Gianni Molaro, Ivan Plusch, Olga Bulgakova, Irina Starzhenetskaya, Masami Takemoto, Jin Bo, Carl Warner, Christopher Boffoli, Fareen Butt, Benoit Montet, Giovanni Casellato and Svetlana RezanovaSintesi by Filippo Avalle

Elizabeth Wessel is an international fashion designer whose artistic endeavours also extend to painting and graphic art. Of Danish and Chilean origin, she grew up in Paris and from an early age was indelibly impressed by the world of design. In 1972 she started the Elizabeth Wessel label and opened her boutique in Paris and the following year won first prize of the Gala de la Presse for her 74 autumn winter collection. "My parents enjoyed moving between their different homes and for a long time we had a flat in Paris. Each season I went with my mother to see the catwalk shows in the salons of her favourite Haute Couture houses. When I became a teenager, I knew imediately that I wanted to become a fashion-designer." She went on to train at the Ecole de la Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture in Paris, and moved on to design forTorrente. What was that experience like for her? "I always loved my life in Paris: the atmosphere was so light and playful. My favourite occupation as a schoolgirl was to go to the Haute Couture houses on Saturdays and try on different pieces of their collections - it made me dream. Then later when I finally started working as a fashion designer, I had to use 'l'entrée des fournisseurs', which I thought was hilarious!" In 1980, Elizabeth established herself in Monaco, where people have always enjoyed the allure of high fashion. "Monte-Carlo used to be a very chic summer resort in those days," recalls Elizabeth. "Now it has become a city, and of course the dress-code has changed accordingly." But it has also provided her with the chance to exhibit at least twice a year from her new wardrobes, including her beautifully understated spring/summer collection, which is already winning major plaudits. "La Mer du Nord was created in memory of my childhood summers on the Danish coast, the breeze from the sea, the nordic light - it's a little story of a piece of my life," she explains. Although her reputation is as a designer of clothes, Elizabeth also has also developed her career as a painter cartoonist and travel writer, and is currently showing her work at the'Arternative Light' exhibition in Fontvieille and Cap d'Ail. "I'm so thrilled to have been invited to exhibit cartoons from my travel book - so much fun. I never thought that I would show them publicly, but life is full of surprises!" The exhibit is sponsored by ARCOL - a charity which aims to help children in need through art. Was there any other charitable area she thought requied our attention? "Of course we should all think of helping those who are less fortunate than ourselves. We try to protect the very young and give them a better future but unfortunately very little is done for elderly abandoned people - it's a difficult subject, but one that requires real thought."

But the cultural calendar is equally rich, nowhere more so than the country's wealth of fine art galleries. Throughout the year, these establishments, many of which enjoy a worldwide reputation, host individual sales and exhibitions of new and established artists. And now some of the best known names in the business are joining forces for a special three-day event. Point Art Monaco is a ongoing project which has brought together eight major galleries to work together to promote the arts in the Principality. Among their achievements have been major artistic events such as shared private viewings in June and for Monaco's National Day in November. These events are an opportunity for art lovers to visit all Point Art Monaco's galleries on the same evening, and have become essential cultural and social occasions for art lovers around the world. Renaud & Armide by G. Simonelli (1650-1710) (courtesy Ribolzi Gallery) Now the same team has dreamt up the Point Art MonacoSalon, a new initiative which aims to fill the gap vacated by the Monaco Biennale and the Monte Carlo Fine Art and Antiques Fair. Together the galleries are offering a chance for art lovers from all over the world to attend a major opening in the communal setting of the Sporting d'Hiver right at the heart of Monte Carlo in Casino Square. Celebrated set designer Pier Luigi Pizzi has been commissioned to transform the Sporting d'Hiver into a true Winter Garden, a fitting backdrop for this, one of the most elegant - and certainly one of the largest - vernissages the principality will have witnessed in many years.View of Venice by Guardi / Gallery Grippaldi The galleries represented: Accademia Fine ArtAdriano Ribolzi Art GalleryMaison d'Art / MdA TodayGalerie Filippo GrippaldiMC Fine ArtsMF Toninelli Art ModerneMonte Carlo Art CollectionsSEM.Art GalleryRenard et Fils Antiquaires In 2011, Point Art Monaco was awarded GIE status (groupement d'intérêt économique)

What: Fashion Art Where: Galerie Carré Doré When: 22 June (vernissage) to 9 July 2011Gianni Molaro was born in San Giuseppe Vesuviano, Italy, in 1966. At the age of 20 he made his debut in the world of high fashion, finding his inspiration in sources as diverse as the 17th and 18th century Italian Grand Masters and the surrealism of Salvador Dali. The artist's 'fashion sculptures', based on clothing and fabrics, are famous for their fusion of the world of high art and haute couture. Amongst his innovations have been a number of memorable performance pieces,  which have taken place all over the world: at the ARCO Contemporary Art Fair in Madrid, at Pablo Picasso's house in Paris, and at the MIART International Modern & Contemporary Art Fair in Milan, as well as in Naples, Jinan (China), and Valparaiso (Chile). Molaro has a wide following among well-known collectors, especially women: Sofia Loren, Ilona Staller (La Cicciolina), Amanda Lear and Amy Stuart are among his many admirers, and he has produced several art works dedicated to Madonna, which will form the centrepiece of the vernissage to celebrate World Music Day. Another big fan is Baroness Cecile de Massy, under whose kind patronage this exhibition is taking place at the Galerie Carré Doré. On this occasion, Molaro has partnered with jewellery designer Martina Wagner of Monte-Carlo Diamonds, whose exquisite work will also be on display.
