Bad at Sports we make money not art scene & herd Left: High Line curator Cecilia Alemani, New Museum associate director Massimiliano Gioni, economist Gianluca Violante, and dealer Valentina Castellani.

(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.

But we did go in, and all was glitter, glamour, and glory for the evening’s honorees, Annabelle Selldorf and Lynda Benglis. 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

R.K.: Oh, yeah. J.A.: Oh yes, we do. R.K.: Is that a question you want to ask me in front of uh-- that's a-- that's a private question, I feel. J.A.: Surely you know though, that you are uh-- the difference between your true self and your mirror self is not trivial. J.W.: I was 19.
