27 A glamorous crowd gathered to honor Huyghe and pay tribute to the enduring vision and legacy of Ray Nasher, the Nasher Sculpture Center's founder, which is continued today by his formidable daughter, Nancy Nasher. New York dealer Paul Kasmin, L.A.-based Italian artist Piero Golia, gallery owner Frank Elbaz, and last year's laureate Doris Salcedo were among guests who flew in for the evening. Nasher Prize jurors Yuko Hasegawa and Pablo León de la Barra also made the trip to Dallas to salute its laureate. Event chairs Deedie Rose and Sharon Young were joined by the city's cultural icons: Nasher Sculpture Center founding director and Nasher Prize juror, Steve Nash; NSC chief curator Jed Morse; Cindy and Howard Rachofsky (Cindy, elegant in a couture creation by her favorite designer, Adam Lippes, who sat by her side); Christen and Derek Wilson; the sparkling Elaine Agather, who always puts a smile on my face with her witty sense of humor; Emily Summers; Marguerite Hoffman; Mayor Mike Rawlings, who was atypically fashionable in a golden bow-tie, and on the arm of his artist daughter, Michelle Rawlings; Nancy Dedman, who observed that the hole in the gala-tent floor next to her was no mistake. "It's for the sculpture!" she said, pointing down to a spot carved out for a work of art. The belle of the ball, however, was surely the charming Margaret McDermott, wearing her signature white and (as always) extremely generous with her smiles.
