Compass in Hand opening and after party at MoMA

"Excuse me, but do you know which way MoMA is? Mary Kate is supposed to be there tonight!" The 20-something F.I.T. student on 53rd Street was right: Mary Kate Olsen arrived on the arm of artist Nate Lowman for Tuesday's opening of "Compass in Hand: Selections From the Judith Rothschild Foundation Contemporary Drawings Collection," a show of works on paper organized by MoMA associate curator Christian Rattemeyer. Though a teeming crowd of hundreds boozed their way around the museum's lobby, just as many relinquished their drinks at the stairs to tour the exhibition itself, which sprawls across most of the second floor. Soon enough, a smaller crowd made its way to the Saatchi & Saatchi building on Hudson Street. Waiters ferried about hors d'oeuvres in an all-white room where exhibition's works were projected onto the walls and floors. The effect was slightly surreal which, at that point in the evening, was spot on.
