Wednesday night, two weeks ago, at the Salvatore Ferragamo Gallery of the flagship store on Fifth Avenue, they celebrated the opening night of “Water”, a contemporary art show curated by Blair Voltz Clarke on behalf of Salvatore Ferragamo. The event benefited Riverkeeper, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. ’s organization. Riverkeeper’s mission is to protect the environmental, recreational and commercial integrity of the Hudson River and its tributaries, and to safeguard New York City's and Westchester County's drinking water supply.
While Mr. Kennedy’s work gets attention because of his high profile name, its crucial importance continues to go largely unheralded, which is ironic considering the fact that without clean water to drink (and wash and wash our fruits and vegetables in), we will be deprived of long and healthy lives.
Meanwhile, in the gallery guests enjoyed the works of Oliver Boberg, Adam Cvijanovic, Sandra Hamburg, Stuart Hawkins, McKendree Key, Cmeron Martin, Vincent Mazeau, Lordy Rodriguez, Peter Sarkisian, Mike Solomon, Alec Soth, Royb Wynne and Art Production Fund.
The event brought out the glittery young social set with its stars Ivanka Trump, Amanda Hearst, Lauren Bush, Lorraine Bracco, Tinsley Mortimer, Casey Spooner, Lorenzo Borghese, Carson Kressley, Robert Verdi, Will Cotton, Mrs. Clarke, Celerie Kemble, Gillian Hearst, Euan Rellie, Dabney Mercer, Becca Cason Thrash, CeCe Cord, Andrew Saffir and Daniel Benedict, and Barbara Wilhelm. |
