On a Monday, May 21, 2012, The Frick Collection welcomed a large number of high-level members to its annual “thank you” black-tie event, the Spring Party. The nearly 250 guests in attendance enjoyed the Frick lit for evening on perhaps its most elegant night of the year.
A jazz quartet greeted guests just inside the door, keeping the Reception Hall livelier than ever…..and the galleries were open, including the new Portico Gallery, which looks out on the Fifth Avenue Garden (one conspicuous, central room was not: the Oval Gallery, where as we speak, the curators are installing the next decorative arts show Gold, Jasper, and Carnelian: Johann Christian Neuber at the Saxon Court).
Enthusiastic dancers found George Gee’s “Jump Jivin’ Wailers” (one of NYC’s most popular swing bands) holding court in the Music Room. It was amazing to watch a wide swath of guests respond to 1930s Benny Goodman hit Sing, Sing, Sing as much as to Lady Gaga and the hits of today, all of which were part of the mix.
Among those in attendance were: Peter P. and Sofia Blanchard (Peter is a great grandson of Henry Clay Frick), Lesley M. Blume, Stephen Bury, Annika Connor, Paul Cruickshank, Michael and Caitlin Davis, Micaela English, Juliet Falchi, Helen C. Fioratti, Joanne DuPont Foster, Emily T. Frick, Ryan Hayward, Henry P. and Sarah C. Johnson, Rod Keenan, Megan E. Kultgen, Lucy J. Lang, Janine Luke, Amory W. and Sean McAndrew, Marie and W. Barnabas McHenry, Michael and Justine Mullin, Maureen Nash, Sarah Maslin Nir, Sloan Overstrom, David T. Owsley, Alexandra C. Porter, Rebecca Regan, Elisabeth A. Saint-Amand, Maggy F. Schultz, Oliver W. Schulze, Stanley D. and Elizabeth Scott, Lacary Sharpe, Cator Sparks, Elizabeth Stafford, George van der Ploeg, Tielman Van Vleck, Charlotte Vignon, Lisa Volling, Frick Director Ian Wardropper and Sarah McNear, Coke Ann Wilcox, Linnea Wilson, and Jennifer Wright, among others.
