(All photos: Linda Yablonsky) YOU KNOW IT’S SPRING in New York when the sea of black that describes the art world’s rigorous dress code changes to color. “Red and racy” was the mode d’access last Tuesday night for the New Museum’s annual benefit gala, which appeared to put the institution in the black.

Nobody’s fool was also in the room, namely Benglis. “Lynda Benglis!” Everyone is so nice these days. Esche had to follow this. — Linda Yablonsky
