Catalogue Note
Le Bal Proust est organisé en 1971 par le Baron et la Baronne Guy de Rothschild au Château de Ferrières. Tous les invités sont photographiés par Cecil Beaton afin d'immortaliser l'un des plus grands bals du XXe siècle. Hélène Rochas apparaît ici en Odette de Crécy, l'amour de Swann.
The Bal Proust, an extraordinary and extravagant costume ball commemorating the centennial of the writer's birth, was held at the Château de Ferrières, the country home of the Baron and Baroness Guy de Rothschild outside Paris. Cecil Beaton, dressed as the photographer Nadar, captured the guests on film, including Hélène Rochas as Odette de Crécy, the lover of Swann.
