Every year, Tribeca Film Festival hands out artwork as their trophies to the film award winners. And Chanel hosts a dinner to celebrate the donors, alumni artists, and what the heck…put few actors in their samples. For the second straight year, the event took place in Odeon and it was eventful: steak frites, peonies, Robert DeNiro, and more artists than fire marshals would allow. Here are our highlights and impressions:
Artists with the dinner plates: Taryn Simon, Sarah Crowner, Jeff Chien-Hsing Liao, Nate Lowman (all who donated works this year) and Aaron Young, Julian Schnabel, Patti Smith, Julia Chiang, KAWS, Ann Duong, Dustin Yellin, José Parlá, Tierney Gearon, Jane Holzer, Todd Eberle, Jeff Koons, Andres Serrano, Tom Sachs and many others just for the kicks.
SAG card holders: Naomi Watts, Adrien Brody, Zoe Kravitz, Rose Byrne, Lauren Hutton, Chloe Sevigny, and Mr. De Niro of course.
The wild cards: Jimmy Buffett, Danielle Steele, and our favorite, Jean Pigozzi.
Best artist date: Young’s beautiful Proenza clad girlfriend, Laure Heriard Dubreuil. “It also helps that she lives in Miami,” smiled the artist.
Most responsible artist: Koons, who actually was familiar with all the works celebrated at the bash. “I went to New York Academy of Art earlier today to check it all out,” he told us.
Most responsible film goer: Schabel, who attended the opening night at Tribeca. “I though the Cameron Crowe’s Elton John documentary was just fantastic,” he told us.
Most Tribeca guilt: “I live right on Chambers street and I haven’t seen anything yet,” smiled model Linda Vojtova. “It’s a crime, really!”
Most jet-legged: (tie) Smith and Sevigny. Smith came back from Spain and Sevigny from China. “I don’t think they watch the Big Love there,” said the actress of her trip to promote Opening Ceremony. “But surprisingly, they all sort of knew who I was.”
Best quote: “You know Paul Haggis, do you also have the powers to get our food on the tables faster?” Zach Braff to a seatmate.
