NEW YORK, NY, February 10, 2008 - The Nutrir Foundation whose mission is to feed and improve the lives of children in the impoverished slums of Barranquilla, Colombia will host a special exhibition of opulent objets d’art from The St. Petersburg Collection by the late Theo Fabergé and his daughter Sarah Fabergé for an Easter Preview in New York, March 11 through March 22, 2008. The exquisite Faberge creations had long been the traditional Easter gift of the Russian Czars and members of European royal families.

The Fabergé Family will be displaying hundreds of thousands of dollars of handcrafted eggs of fine and precious materials to benefit The Nutrir Foundation which was established in December 2005. A percentage of sales will go to the foundation which strives to improve the well-being and quality of life of Barranquilla’s less fortunate children, by giving the children nutritiously balanced meals and by helping the families understand the importance of nutrition. In addition to the beautiful Fabergé family works of art for sale, a unique cookbook “Passion for Coffee” sweet and savory recipes using coffee by Patricia McCausland-Gallo also will be offered for purchase with all proceeds going to the foundation.
