Glass House Celebrates 10th Anniversary Opening During Annual Summer Party

On June 10, The Glass House will celebrate its 10th Anniversary opening as National Trust for Historic Preservation at the summer party.

From The Glass House: Please join us to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Glass House opening as a site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, as we host our annual Summer Party on Saturday, June 10th from noon to 4 pm. With generous support from Crozier Fine Arts and additional support from DEAN & DELUCA and Janice Parker Landscape Architects, the Summer Party features a festive picnic by South End, champagne by Taittinger, lawn games, music, and an auction powered by Paddle8. The event will also feature the world premiere of The Metamorphoses, a performance installation conceived by Jonah Bokaer Choreography. Bokaer performed with the Merce Cunningham Dance Company at the museum's opening celebration in 2007.

Stroll the 49-acre landscape and enjoy our two exhibitions on view: Julian Schnabel: "Paintings that I hope Philip and David would like," an intimate survey showcasing Julian Schnabel's prolific painting career, and Robert Indiana: One Through Zero, the complete set of Robert Indiana's ONE through ZERO, 6-foot-high COR-TEN steel sculptures on public display for the first time together.

If you can't wait until June 10th to join in on all the fun, this Friday, May 26th, start bidding on the Summer Party benefit auction, powered by Paddle8, including works by Frank Stella, Carrie Mae Weems, Alex Katz, James Nares, Zaha Hadid, and specially commissioned FriendsWithYou + Design Within Reach limited edition Outdoor Eazy Bean Everest Chairs along with luxury trip packages and many more unique items.
