“And the one and only Martha Stewart. I know the party is lit because even Martha came.”
ALEXANDER HANKIN reports from the Whitney’s “Art Party” and doesn’t miss a single boldface name.
I suddenly realize just how many people I know in New York at the Whitney Museum’s “Art Party.” I’m in a bejeweled Libertine (a party sponsor) bomber jacket and space-age print shirt with Daniel Goldstein and Quinn Martinelli. I spot fellow cochair, Steven Beltrani. “Can you believe we sold out?” he exclaims, looking at the packed party. “I think this is the first time we’ve sold out since we’ve been involved.” Micaela Erlanger, Ego Nwodim and artists Martine Gutierrez and Emma Safir are all here. I also see Whitney director Scott Rothkopf, NextGen NYC reality TV stars Brooks Marks,Ava Dash, Ariana Biermann, Emira D’Spain, and Georgia McCann. Nearby are Elise Taylor, Ian Malone, Rose Carlisle and Lilah Ramzi. The Real Housewives of New York arrive in full force. Erin Lichy in a silver Paco Rabanne suit, Jessel Taank and Sai De Silva with jewelry designer Jennifer Fisher. And the one and only Martha Stewart. I know the party is lit because even Martha came.
“The Dare goes on and everyone rushes the dance floor.”
The Dare goes on and everyone rushes the dance floor: art world It Girl Molly Krause (in a puffy, multicolor Christopher Raxxy dress), Ally Shapiro, Leo Braudy, Ernie Poma, Jake Rosenblüth, Logan Horne, Casey Kohlberg and Polina Proshkina. The scene is a swirly sea of New York socials in colors, patterns and sparkles.
By the time the party ends I can barely stand. I’ve never talked to so many people in my life. I’m maxed out.
