ART PARTIES

Jason and Michelle Rubell Join Sarah Harrelson In Celebrating New York Art Week and the Magazine’s Provocateur Issue

The power collectors and CULTURED Editor-in-Chief invited an intimate group of attendees to raise a toast in the Upper East Side.SHARE

It’s that time of year. The worlds of art and fashion have converged in New York for the dual draws of fashion week and the September art fair rush. It’s the kind of deluge that results in bumper-to-bumper traffic and back-to-back lunch dates. To kick off the marathon, CULTURED Editor-in-Chief Sarah Harrelson and Jason and Michelle Rubell invited guests to the couple’s Upper East Side abode for a celebratory cocktail.

“Art is an amazing way to open your eyes to other people’s points of view,” Jason told CULTURED earlier this year. “In times like this, art is so vital. It’s one of the few mediums we can use to communicate with each other in a meaningful way.” At home, the pair are surrounded by pieces from Rashid Johnson, Sayre Gomez, Kim Dingle, Hernan Bas, and more.

Joining them were the likes of Bastide co-founder Shirin von Wulffen, MoMA Board President Sarah Arison, writer Annie Armstrong, writer and musician Johanna Fateman, gallerist Anton Kern, Gucci’s Terrence Charles, Object & Thing founder Abby Bangser, interior designer Alyssa Kapito, Cartier’s Christine Goppel, advisor Rob Teeters, Kasmin’s Molly Jean Taylor, architect and designer Adam Charlap Hyman, angel investor Debra Peltz, and Sophia Cohen.

Guests were treated to assorted hors d’oeuvres catered by chef Chris Kronner of Mayday, a seafood and produce market based in Los Angeles. The light bites were accompanied by sipping tequila from female-founded Casa del Sol, as well as Moët & Chandon’s iconic champagne and an assortment of options from all-organic Dry Farm Wines. Both Dry Farm Wines founder Todd White and his partner Cameron Carani were on hand to join in on the festivities and walk attendees through the plethora of artisan bottles, including A Time For White Flowers, Fidora Lorenzo Viti Doro, and Domaine Rouge Bleu Rosé.

As conversation thrummed, attendees could be seen flipping through CULTURED‘s Provocateur issue, covered by Travis Scott and Rachel Sennott, and discussing the slate of programming promised at the Armory.

Hosted at the Javits Center, the 30th edition of the fair boasts more than 235 galleries from over 30 countries. “For the past 30 years, The Armory Show has been an anchor of the city’s cultural landscape,” Kristell Chadé, executive director of fairs at Frieze, said in a statement. “It has been a pleasure working with the team to build on the strengths of the fair and expand its reach.”

As the Rubells helped raise a toast to the week, one thing was certain: Anyone hoping to beat this power couple to the fair’s best picks better move fast.

We are thrilled to know that the sculpture we bought last February in South Africa by artist, Dominique Zinkpè (Benin), is gaining worldwide popularity. A bronze version, of our wood sculpture, is being shown at the Armory Show in NYC. Okay, it’s not exactly alike but the style is undeniable Zinkpe. The gallery is Southern Guild Gallery in Cape Town. They have a new gallery in Los Angeles and other locations are being determined. We bought another piece from them as well that I will unveil later. Thank you @FountainheadArts.

Celebrating Women Everywhere

We are in love with this unusual but meaningful sculpture (7 inches by 7 inches) from Israeli artist Ruth Patir. It represents the millions of women who are alive today (me too) because mammography machines detect breast cancer. Eliot and I bought it from the Baverman Gallery, Tel Aviv (gallerist Adi Gura) when the world learned that Ruth Patir, who was the exclusive artist representing Israel at the 60th Venice Biennale, decided to keep the doors to the Israel pavilion shut until there was a Ceasefire and Hostage Release. Through our good friend Tami Katz-Freiman, (art curator, writer, lecturer, and collector) we were able to buy “Motherland” as a way to celebrate Patir for her selfless decision.
Patir made the decision together with the exhibition’s curators, Tamar Margalit and Mira Lapidot. We met Patir when she was a resident at Fountainhead Arts.
