The Glass House celebrated its annual Summer Party featuring a festive farm-to-table picnic by South End, rosé by Whispering Angel, lawn games including ping-pong and chess, the music of Philip Glass and John Cage performed by Brooklyn Rider, and a special auction of contemporary art, luxury items, and experiences powered by Paddle8. Tesla provided transportation between the parking area and the Glass House and guests had the exclusive opportunity to view a Tesla Model X on display. This year's Summer Party artist, Jenny Holzer, created two limited edition mirrors In a Glass House and Certainly sex, in support of the Glass House.
Guests strolled the 49-acre landscape and enjoyed an exhibition on view in the Painting Gallery, Personal Effect: Works from the Collections of Philip Johnson and David Whitney, from the Glass House permanent collection, and had the opportunity to preview a virtual reality experience that simulated the restored interior of the Brick House, which remains closed and requires much needed restoration. The Summer Party benefit auction included works by Andrea Zittel, Dustin Yellin, Lawrence Weiner, Lindsey Adelman, The Haas Brothers, Rita Ackermann, luxury trip packages and many more unique art and design items.
The Summer Party was kindly sponsored by Art in America, ArtNEWS, and Moffly Media. This highly anticipated event was made possible thanks to the generous support of Houlihan Lawrence, The Howard Hughes Corporation/Seaport District NYC, Janice Parker Landscape Architects + SRI Fine Art Services.
