Monday night a week ago at Christie’s, a Gala Dinner was held to benefit the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe. There was also a reading “O’Keeffe, Speaking with Friends and Lovers,” a reading of her letters from the Collection Beinecke Library at Yale.
Joan Allen read the voice of Georgia O’Keeffe. Sam Waterson read Alfred Stieglitz. Marsha Mason narrated and read the voice of Anita Pollitzer.
The evening began with the reading, followed by a reception and then dinner with the performers. Candace and Rick Beinecke and Ann Nitze were Gala chairs. Hahn Winery Estate in Monterey, California and Nicolaus and Gaby Hahn sponsored the evening. |
