GUILD HALL SUMMER GALA CELEBRATES BARBARA KRUGER EXHIBTION

On Friday August 13 at 6pm, Guild Hall will celebrate the opening of the Barbara Kruger exhibition featuring site-specific installations in the Museum’s galleries. The Gala dinner will also honor philanthropists Patsy and Jeff Tarr.

The party gets started with cocktails and a preview of the Kruger show at Guild Hall, followed by libations and dinner under at tent at the oceanfront estate of Julie Taubman. During the evening, Patrons will have the opportunity to bid on original signed art by esteemed East End artists, including Richard Prince, Larry Rivers, and Elizabeth Peyton. Also, on the block is a tour of the 30 Rock set. What makes this so special is that the tour will be personally given by the one and only Jack Donaghy himself, Alec Baldwin.

Following the auction, there will be dancing under the stars with Peter Duchin and his Orchestra. The evening is sponsored in part by Van Cleef & Arpels.

For those that want an early start on the auction, check out GuildHall.org and if you can’t be there in person…you can still bid!

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
