THE EVENT: A black-tie preview of "Modernism," which gave 200 Corcoran trustees and supporters a look at the fi rst show brought to the fore by new director and president Paul Greenhalgh. The show is "the largest ever of its kind to be staged at the Corcoran," said Catherine Armour, the exhibition's designer. The evening's décor, by Design Cuisine, drew from the almost 450 piece exhibit which included a 1938 silver Czech Tatra 77a automobile in the entry way and copies of the famed Red Blue Chair on the staircase. After dinner, Greenhalgh cut the red ribbon with board chair Jeanne Ruesch which formally opened the exhibit.
THE GUESTS: Christina de Paul, Jim Kimsey, Albert Beveridge, Pat Sagon, Susan and Mike Herreld, Conrad and Ludmila Cafritz.
