The black-tie evening celebrated the NYBG's latest show, 'Kusama: Cosmic Nature.'
Last April when The New York Botanical Garden opened its long-awaited exhibitionlocals flocked. Yes, to see the art and take in the springtime blooms, but also because the sprawling open-air gardens in the Bronx offered culture-hungry New Yorkers something to do at a time when the options were scant. And two months later, last Thursday night, the NYBG hosted its Spring Gala, giving the social circuit a much-needed event for which to get gussied up in black-tie, just like the good old days.
Afterward, guests strolled around the gardens as the sun set; the temperatures were cool and it wouldn’t be inaccurate to say the rain put a slight damper on the fun. Those guests who arrived before the rain were able to get a close-up of the octopus-like pumpkin whose tentacles wiggle just outside the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory. And inside the gleaming greenhouse were more of Kusama’s smiley, spotted works.
