Following its 2016 gala last night, the Whitney Museum’s annual Studio Party brought together collectors, artists and patrons to celebrate the museum’s first anniversary in its new Renzo Piano-designed home in the Meatpacking District. The Louis Vuitton-sponsored event honoured Robert J. Hurst, the current chair of the trustees’ executive committee, which oversaw the capital campaign for the construction of the new building. Guests snapped selfies in a 3-D photo booth, danced on a makeshift floor surrounded by LED screens, and adorned themselves with temporary tattoos designed and applied by the artists Matthew Cerletty, Nina Chanel Abney and Jamian Juliano-Villani, Liz Craft, Elizabeth Jaeger and Maggie Lee.
