Guests including Dianna Agron, Jeffrey Gibson and Mickalene Thomas toasted the feminist artist’s survey exhibition on view at the New Museum.
“I’m ecstatic,” said the 84-year-old New Mexico-based artist, standing underneath her series of large woven tapestries on view at the New Museum. Chicago was holding court on the museum’s fifth floor, dedicated to an installation of Chicago’s work made in collaboration withfor the brand’s 2020 couture show. The installation shares the room with work by other formative female artists like Hilma af Klint and Frida Kahlo, a show-within-a-show coined “The City of Ladies.
“I’m on a quick Judy mission,” said Dianna Agron as she made her way over to the artist, who was seated at one of the long dinner tables festooned with candles and flowers arranged in a pink and purple ombre. Dinner was served on plates printed with Chicago’s work. Before dinner, Gioni touted the synergy between the New Museum — the building was designed by a woman, and has had female leadership for several decades — and Chicago’s work. “It takes more than a village. It takes a city of ladies,” said Gioni, thanking the community of supporters, lenders, and curators that made “Herstory” a reality.
