The Public Theater and the Museum of Modern Art didn’t need a balmy June evening to put guests at their annual benefits in an upbeat mood. Instead, under gray skies, with a chill in the air, patrons on Monday celebrated something better than the weather: institutions on a roll.
At MoMA, guests including Daniel Sundheim, Anne Dias, and Julian Robertson mingled in the sculpture garden and some talked about the museum’s expansion in progress -- including a just-opened cafe with striking marble. They had a beautiful indoor space to eat dinner -- the museum’s spacious lobby. The event raised $4.1 million.
