This past Tuesday night in Los Angeles, the Los Angeles County Museum (known locally as LACMA) was the site of a party hosted by Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter in honor of LACMA trustee Wendy Stark Morrissey (who is the Los Angeles editor to VF) at the museum’s new restaurant and bar. The restaurant is named Ray’s, after Ray Stark, Wendy’s father and the late film producer known for such works as Funny Girl and Steel Magnolias.
Among those attending were, of course, LACMA Director Michael Govan and his wife Katherine Ross as well as Suzanne Saperstein who donated generously towards the acquisition of the Kamer/Ruf costume collection (currently on view in the Fashioning Fashion: European Dress in Detail, 1700-1915), a transformative addition to LACMA’s permanent collection. Also: Ed Ruscha, the internationally renowned L.A. artist was there as was Barry Diller and Diane von Furstenberg, Jacqueline Bisset, Betsy Bloomingdale, Arianna Huffington, Peter and Jamee Gregory, Suzanne Somers and Alan Hamel, Mamie Gummer and Ben Walker, Michael and Jane Eisner, Irwin and Margo Winkler, Julian Sands and Evgenia Citkowitz, Selim Zilkha and Mary Hayley, Irena Medavoy, Kurt Andersen and Anne Kreamer, and of course, Graydon Carter and his wife, Anna Scott Carter. Ray’s provided the food which included ahi tuna with jardinière olive salad, crispy confit potatoes with local goat cheese and chives, sweet peppers stuffed with chorizo and almond sauce, cannellini beans with wilted beets greens, pickled fresnos and local olive oil on house bread, mushroom, sage truffle cheese flatbread, etc. The food was fabulous! |
