CULTURE CLUB

The Stars of New York’s Culture Scene Came Out for the Whitney Gala

On May 20, the Whitney Museum of American Art honored Amy Sherald, Barbara Haskell, and Richard DeMartini during its annual gala. Held in the lobby and 7th floor galleries of the Renzo Piano-designed building that has hosted it for the past decade, the museum raised more than $7.7 million to benefit its exhibitions and public-facing programing, as well as the the Barbara Haskell American Fellows Legacy Fund and its free admissions initiative. An opening cocktail hour with a DJ set by Natasha Diggs gave way to a seated dinner, catered by Olivier Cheng, designed by David Stark Design and Production, and with remarks by director Scott Rothkopf.
Notables in attendance included Claire Danes, Hugh Dancy, Jeffrey Gibson, Teresita Fernández, Camille Henrot, Jesse Krimes, Paul Arnhold, Wes Gordon, Matthew Marks, Jordan Roth, and Darren Walker. Photo credit: Jason Lowrie/BFA
