NEW YORK— New York nonprofit Creative Time’s annual gala benefit was held last Wednesday, May 6. Centered around the theme “Getting Lucky,” the event honored Melva Bucksbaum and Raymond Learsy “for their patronage and support of contemporary art” and featured cocktails, dinner, and dancing — as well as a silent live auction conducted by Phillips de Pury’s Alexander Gilkes. A host of artists came out, including Timothy Greenfield-Sanders, Lorna Simpson, Will Cotton, and Cindy Sherman (who was accompanied by her beau, musician David Byrne). Also in attendance were dealer Mary Boone, the Whitney Museum’s Adam Weinberg, and collectors Don and Mera Rubell.
