Sprucely dressed waiters tangoed through the crowded space offering Champagne to the artists Brice and Helen Marden; the New Museum director Lisa Phillips;\u00a0Cynthia Rowley<\/a>\u00a0and her husband, the art dealer Bill Powers; Amanda Brooks, the new fashion director of Barneys, and her husband, the artist Christopher Brooks; the painter Francesco Clemente and his wife Alba;\u00a0Salman Rushdie<\/a>; and the director\u00a0Sofia Coppola<\/a>. Off in a corner,\u00a0Marc Jacobs<\/a>\u00a0and his ex-boyfriend Lorenzo Martone (the latter dressed in knee-high wooly boots) appraised a room of mirrors hand-painted with ghostly landscapes.<\/p>\n

But one person in particular stood out on this evening: a tall ginger-haired beauty dressed in a figure-flattering ivory velvet Marc Jacobs dress, chatting with Ms. Coppola, hugging Mr. Martone, keeping an eye on three frisky young children who hovered nearby, and occasionally joking with a blue-suited bespectacled man who cast an amused eye over the gathering.<\/p>\n

Even if you hadn\u2019t known it was Rachel Feinstein, the sculptor who had created this\u00a0fantastical art installation<\/a>, you probably would have figured out rather quickly \u2014 from the way people gravitated toward her and the way she glided confidently around the room \u2014 that she was the star of the evening. And the dark-suited man at her side, the one chatting with\u00a0James Frey<\/a>? That was\u00a0John Currin<\/a>, the husband of Ms. Feinstein and the father of their three children \u2014 and arguably the most provocative and successful painter of his generation.<\/p>\n
