Artist Titus Kaphar was honored at the Brooklyn Museum Artists Ball, with Swizz Beatz, Rosamund Pike, Rebecca Hall, Kehinde Wiley and more guests.
He was being honored at the Brooklyn Museum Artists Ball, the museum’s annual gala fundraiser, 20 years after his first time visiting the museum.
Kaphar, who sits on the museum’s board of trustees, was in the first year of his MFA program at Yale when he saw the museum’s solo exhibition of Kehinde Wiley’s work in 2004. It was his first time seeing a solo show for a living Black artist. “I walked through the door, I saw the work, and for the first time I imagined myself in a place like this,” Kaphar added.
“I used to live on the other side of the park,” said Spector, making his way into the museum’s lobby for cocktail hour with wife Hall. “This used to be my neighborhood. I always loved this museum and the library here, the Botanical Gardens, and the way that this set of institutions are so rooted in .”Upstairs on the third floor, dinner tables in the museum’s Beaux-Arts Court were decked with purple and pink-hued florals.
