London-based fashion brand COS celebrated its partnership with Dia Art Foundation for a second consecutive year at the Dia:Beacon Spring Benefit on May 4th. Guests were among the first to view the new installation of works by Korean artist, Lee Ufan.
The benefit began with a morning reception, held in the Flavin gallery and was followed by a seated lunch in the vast John Chamberlain gallery, where remarks were given by Nathalie de Gunzburg, Chairman of Dia’s Board of Trustees and Director Jessica Morgan. Lunch was followed by afternoon cocktails in the forecourt and Dia:Beacon was open throughout the day for guests to explore the works on display.
A special children’s program was offered for younger guests in the Richard Serra section of the museum.
COS Creative Director, Karin Gustafsson noted ‘We’re thrilled to continue our support of Dia Art Foundation and help honor Lee Ufan, whose richly diverse work has long been an inspiration to our creative team.”
