The snow was really coming down last Thursday night in New York when the Frick Collection was holding its 2010 Young Fellows Ball. By that hour – it was scheduled from 8:30 to midnight - the storm was taking on blizzard force. There were a lot of people who were thinking they might stay home rather than go to this party which is normally considered one of the best parties of the year in New York. But it turned out there were a lot more people who decided to brave it. More than 630 arrived amidst the driving snow bundled up to protect their black ties and designer long dresses from the elements.
They were celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Frick art collection and mansion officially becoming the Frick Collection. That opening party was attended by 700 prominent New Yorkers and included Carnegies, Astors, Mellons, Rockefellers, Strauses, Sulzbergers and Vanderbilts among them. |

This year’s celebration was dubbed the Diamond Deco Ball and it was the11th annual fundraiser hosted by the museum’s Young Fellows. The Art Deco soiree was held mainly in the Garden Court and the Music which were added to the residence in 1935 by architect John Russell Pope.
So there it was, storm and all, with no regrets. They raised $235,000 in support of the museum’s education program. Vera Wang and Tiffany sponsored and they all partied on into the snow-laded night. |
