    Dia Art Foundation's Sun-Soaked Spring Benefit Welcomed International Art Stars

    Commencing with a morning reception in Dia Beacon’s Gerhard Richter gallery, followed by a family style seasonal lunch in the John Chamberlain galleries, Dia Art Foundation’s Spring Benefit gathered more than 600 cultural leaders and art-world luminaries to celebrate the late John Chamberlain, Agnes Martin, Hélio Oiticica, and Jack Whitten, alongside artists Tehching Hsieh, Lee Ufan, and Kishio Suga. Chaired by Matthieu Blazy, Nathalie de Gunzburg, Joan Jonas, and Lisa Yuskavage, the sun-soaked gala—enveloped by contemporary art pieces and punctuated with bright yellow flowers—raised funds for Dia’s forever-ambitious programming. The artful event was made possible thanks to Chanel, who will also support the foundation's fall gala in New York City. Esteemed guests included Isha Ambani, Alicia Keys, Steve McQueen, Eric Nam, Lauren Santo Domingo, Paloma Elsesser, Neelam Gill, Lisa Yuskavage, Lee Ufan, Billy Cotton, Annabelle Selldorf, and more.

    Jessie Schuster Hosted an Intimate Cocktail for Paul Morehouse's Sculptural Installation in Her SoHo Loft

    In her recently completed SoHo residence, interior designer Jessie Schuster welcomed artists, designers, architects, and editors for a celebration of 15 sculptural works by Paul Morehouse installed throughout her home. The appointment-only exhibition, titled “Phoebe” (for the Eastern Phoebe bird, a harbinger of the spring season), convenes Morehouse’s nuanced materiality within Schuster’s carefully constructed environs—a balance that feels comfortably at home. The opening celebration commenced with cocktails and champagne, with bottles stored on ice in Schuster’s marble tub, included delectable bites from Eat Bradley’s, and continued late into the evening. The exhibition will remain on view by appointment for the next month.
