The Armory Show kicked off with a VIP Preview at Pier 94. Terence Koh, Anh Duong, Spencer Tunick, Lisa Anastos and other art aficionados stopped by to look at the work by modern and contemporary artists. Afterwards, guests headed to MoMa to enjoy a party benefitting the museum. Guests had a chance to view the Cindy Sherman exhibit, drink champagne, enjoy mapleflavored bacon, and create digital cartoon heads that flashed on the walls and surrounding columns. Electronic band Neon Indian performed, announcing, “Just like when you make a new friend we take some getting used to.”

Peggy Siegal Company had a busy month. They hosted a screening with James Schamus and Jane Rosenthal for Being Flynn, the new film based on author Nick Flynn Flynn’s book Another Bullshit Night in Suck Flynn City. The film’s stars Robert De Niro, Paul Dano, and Olivia Thirlby all turned up Dano at Pulqueria to celebrate. Game Change, HBO’s new film about Sarah Palin’s Vice Presidential run, brought stars Julianne Moore and Woody Harrelson 6 to the Ziegfeld Theatre along with Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, former Governor George Pataki and Arianna Huffington. Glenn Close was also out and about this month, hosting the screening for Discovery’s new show Frozen Planet at Alice Tully Hall. Guests were greeted by large penguin ice sculptures and four live penguins flown in from Sea World. After, everyone took home a stuffed animal version. Adorable.
