Aperture Foundation Fêtes Ethan James Green’s Forthcoming Monograph

On April 5, Aperture Foundation held its annual spring benefit to celebrate Ethan James Green’s forthcoming book, titled Young New York, at the Paradise Club at the recently opened The Times Square Edition. The young photographer’s first monograph portrays a series of black-and-white portraits of the city’s queer scene-makers—a gloriously diverse cast of models, artists, designers, nightlife icons, and gender binary–flouting muses of the fashion world and beyond. Attendees enjoyed a pre-party dinner and stage show by the House of YES, followed by a lively set by DJ Greg Poole and a performance by Martine Gutierrez. Photos by Mike Vitelli/BFA.
