It was a big turn out last month at “Fake Art for Posers,” The Second Annual Benefit for Alex Kilgore’s Accabonac House, an artists’ retreat in the Springs of East Hampton dedicated to the memory of Lisa de Kooning.
In keeping with Accabonac House’s mission to bring great work to the Springs, the evening full of music, drinks and silent auction was free and held at Ashawagh Hall.
Kooning’s father was abstract expressionist Willem de Kooning, who traded a painting for the property in 1961, which served as his first studio in Springs as well as a home for his only child, Lisa, and her mother, illustrator Joan Ward.
Guests included: Neena Beber, Robin Cofer, Marty Cacic, Joanna Fisher, Lee Fryd, Jen Frasher, Gibby Haynes, Nancy & Ron Hilton, Rachel House, Rachael Horovitz, Gibby Haynes, Tom Jarmusch, Sean Kennerle, Alex Kilgore (Artist Director of Accabonac House), Abe Kinney, Gillian McCain, Dani Miller, Peter Ngo, Tripoli Patterson, Dalton Portella, Samuel Powell, Sean Powell, Leesa Rowland, Jared Samuel, Judith Supine, Alexis Tobin, Jim Tozzi, Christian & Sophia Villeneuve, Lucy de Kooning Villeneuve, Isabel, Justin & Mason Kernan & Emma de Kooning Villeneuve, Charlie Wimberley, and Larry Wohl.
