Arts Prize organizers got a shot in the arm last week as old and
new faces gathered for a presentation at the Museum of Contemporary
Art.
Welcoming
guests in from the cold were Franny Taft and Mary Louise Hahn, while
upstairs Seth Taft greeted old friends at the door.
Bill
Joseph, whose mother Martha Joseph, helped get the prize off the
ground in 1961, was pleased to be there as were Klaus Roy, who came
up with the idea, and his wife Gene.
It
was one of those mover and shaker nights that brought out the best
and brightest, the oldest and the youngest. Spotted in the crowd
were Graham Grund, June and Bert Antoine,
Martha and George Dalton, Pat Kelley, Bob Madison, Clurie Bennis,
Gail Newman, Jean Caldwell, Ann Brown and her sister Joan Damankos, Tom Schorgl, Steve and
Jean Bucchieri, Ben Stefanski,
Bob Madison, Dennis Barrie and his wife Kathleen Coakley, Roldo
and Ann Bartimole and Ann Albano.
Denise
Machado, accompanied by her husband, oil painter, John Sargent
made a fashion statement with boots, fishnet stockings, a short
black skirt and an embroidered jacket, while case VP for university
relations, Lara Kalafatis was all in beige - sweater, suede vest and skirt
- topped by a beret that had belonged to her father George.
Author,
Sarah Willis was demure in a cotton print skirt and jacket, while
carol Griffith was in layers, with a sweater, shirt and T-shirt
under a vintage Carole Little "redingote,"
a gift from her daughter Susie in Chicago. Susan Channing's
accessory was a cane for use with her new hip.
