Julian Schnabel hosts clambake in Montauk for FAPE exhibition

Julian Schnabel hosted a casual clambake at his Stanford White-designed house and studio in Montauk for the opening of the Foundation for Art & Preservation in Embassies (FAPE) exhibition at Guild Hall in East Hampton, which features works by some of America’s most acclaimed artists — including Ellsworth Kelly, Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns, whose works adorn embassies around the world.

Schnabel, dressed in a plaid shirt and cutoff jeans, supplied straw hats and baseball caps to guests on the sun-drenched lawn of his hilltop property.

Spotted at the event: Julian’s son Vito, Agnes Gund, Jo Carole and Ronald Lauder, Danielle and David Ganek, Dorothy Lichtenstein, artists Joel Shapiro and Odili Donald Odita, Bob Colacello, Ralph Rucci Chairwoman Nancy Marks, dean of Yale University School of Art and curator of the FAPE exhibition Robert Storr, Christie’s Americas President Doug Woodham and Ford Foundation President Darren Walker.
