New York-based artist, Ryan McLennan's new body of work will be showcased at Denver's David B. Smith Gallery.

There are few notable events happening around the world these day: Sundance in Utah, award shows in Hollywood, and couture season in Paris. And yet, George Condo’s "Mental States" exhibition opening at New Museum and the dinner that followed certainly held its own. Condo attracted big names and some major momentum gains last night. Here’s a recap. Condo’s most devoted fan: Kanye West, who flew in for the opening from Chicago despite dealing with the sorrow from the Bears elimination from the playoffs. But Condo did the art for the West’s last album and the Grammy winner told us he wouldn’t miss it for the world. Condos most devoted fan (runner up): Marc Jacobs who flew in from his own show from Paris on Friday and the attendance at New Museum was one of his priorities with best friend Lorenzo Martone. Power man faces in the crowd: John Currin, Jerry Saltz, Adam Weinberg, Richard Prince, Tony Shafrazi, Bill Powers, Klaus Biesenbach, and Julian Schnabel. While Elizabeth Olsen is dominating Sundance…Mary Kate Olsen was busy checking out every painting at the museum. Most popular dinner item: Fries that went fast at Balthazar that were quickly downed with champagne. [nggallery id=12] Photos - Nicholas Hunt / PatrickMcMullan.com
