Scenes From Dia Art Foundation’s Fall Gala

On Oct. 2, more than 400 artists, philanthropists, curators, and cultural luminaries gathered in Chelsea, Manhattan, to attend Dia Art Foundation’s Fall Night gala. The event, which helps support Dia’s long-term installations and efforts to restore its exhibition spaces and site-specific works, honored artists Mary Corse and Lee Ufan. Guests were welcomed with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres while exploring newly installed works by artist Delcy Morelos before sitting down for a candlelit family-style dinner. The event opened with remarks from Nathalie de Gunzburg, the chair of Dia’s board, who introduced a tribute to Ufan by Takashi Murakami. Jessica Morgan, Dia’s director, then introduced a tribute to Corse by Hank Willis Thomas. Notables in attendance include Wes Gordon, Frida Escobedo, Michèle Lamy, Nazy Nazhand, Matthew Barney, Anicka Yi, Jill Magid, Alicja Kwade, Monique Péan, Kulapat Yantrasat, Min Jin Lee, Thaddaeus Ropac, Jeppe Hein, Arne Glimcher, and more.
