Storm King’s Glittering Night at the Rainbow Room

On October 4, Storm King Art Center headed downstate from its sprawling grounds in New Windsor to honor Rashid Johnson and the Lipman Family Foundation from the swanky digs of the Rainbow Room. There, cocktail hour gave way to a viewing of the art center’s benefit auction, featuring works by Virginia Overton, Hank Willis Thomas, and more. During dinner, chief operating officer Kellie Honeycutt spoke to the audience about the art center’s banner year of openings, including a permanent installation by Martin Puryear and $45 million in capital improvements. Later, guests took in panoramic city views over after-dinner drinks at Rockefeller Center’s Bar SixtyFive. Notables in attendance included Nora Lawrence, Fred Eversley, Chase Hall, Sheree Hovsepian, Kate Fowle, Cynthia Rowley, Samanthe Rubell, and more. Photo credit: Matt Borkowski and Miguel McSongwe/BFA.
