Deets: In connection with The New York Academy of Art, the Tribeca Ball honored art collector and publishing entrepreneur Peter M. Brant on Monday, April 13th. Presented by famed French Maison Van Cleef & Arpels, the evening shined a light on the emerging artists of the Academy with proceeds supporting scholarships and public programing. Inspired by Van Cleef & Arpels’ newest high jewelry collection, this year’s décor brought the French fairy tale Peau d’Âne to life for an enchanting evening of art, cocktails and dinner. The Academy’s six floors reflected a ‘Once Upon a Time’ theme where guests became the main characters. During cocktails, guests enjoyed an insider’s view of one of the country’s leading art schools, interacting with more than 100 emerging artists in their studios. The magic continued in Wilkinson Hall during a dinner honoring Brant for his indelible mark on the contemporary art world. Guests were treated to a special menu prepared by Gotham Bar & Grill’s Alfred Portale with dancing to follow. Additional support of Tribeca Ball was provided by Art Southampton, Paddle8, Proximo Spirits, Stella Artois, and VOSS Artesian Water.
Spotted: The event chairs were Virginie & Nicolas Bos, Bob Colacello and Shelly & Vincent Fremont, the dinner chairs Marianne & Stellan Holm and Tony Shafrazi, and the junior chairs were Dylan Brant, Zani Gugelmann, and Vito Schnabel.
