Taking place at Hudson River Park at Pier 57, the 2011 Whitney Gala was the first to be held outside of the Whitney Museum. This is also the first Whitney Fall Gala to take place in downtown Manhattan, continuing the Whitney’s celebration of their new downtown building in the Meatpacking District which is currently entering the construction phase. This year’s Gala featured a video installation by artist Marilyn Minter and sponsored by AOL, that has been created especially for the Gala.
AOL CEO & Chairman Tim Armstrong, Georgina Chapman, Keren Craig, and Harvey Weinstein were Gala Honorary Co-Chairs. Jill Bikoff, Ginevra Caltagirone and Fern Kaye Tessler were Gala Co-Chairs. Donna Perret Rosen was Gala Vice-Chair and Michelle Monaghan and Naomi Watts were special guests.
