Gardening at Night
A Spring Benefit in MoMA's Sculpture Court
The weather wasn't cooperating, but that didn't stop the likes of Mayor Bloomberg, Glenn Close, Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg, and Richard Meier from crowding into the Museum of Modern Art on Tuesday night for the 41st annual Party in the Garden. DJ Cassidy manned the tables before Estelle, the Grammy-winning British import, took the stage to sing her hits "American Boy" and "Come Over" along with a cover of Coldplay's "God Put a Smile Upon Your Face" (inevitably an improvement on the original). But the songstress, who switched from Alexander McQueen to Rachel Roy for her performance, had more than music on her mind. "I hope I'll have some time to sneak off and go see some cool art," she said. The event, which raised over $1.8 million, honors the artists featured over the past year in solo exhibitions and benefits the museum's Annual Fund.
