Brooklyn Museum, American High Style: Fashioning a National Collection

The Brooklyn Museum is holding their Brooklyn Ball this evening where they will "break with the traditional arrangements of years past. A newly conceived event will focus on fashion, fun, and culinary excitement as only Brooklyn can do it! Jennifer Rubell, whom New York Times senior art critic Roberta Smith credits with “laying waste to the prolonged ordeal that is the benefit dining experience,” will present Icons, an interactive food journey through the Museum including drinking paintings, suspended melting cheese heads, and more."

In addition, those in attendance will be able to preview the American High Style: Fashioning a National Collection exhibition which opens to the public on May 7.
