The Bomb Magazine Gala is a must attend event for New York City's voyeurs. The art on the walls is stunning, but what truly draws the eye are the guests. Nothing worn to the party is picked at random. Everyone one of the "looks" speaks to the creativity of the body under the clothes. Bombers (said with affection) are walking billboards of style.

Performance artist Marina Abramovic, director of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum; Richard Armstrong, Art in America’s editor for almost four decades; Elizabeth Baker, and author Francine Prose were the honorees at the 30th Annual Bomb Magazine Gala. During dinner, each honoree was presented with a “Pink Bomb,” created by Tom Otterness.

According to the press release from Jonathan Marder + Company, so far the Gala has raised in excess of $433,000 (between the Ticket/Ticket sales and the Silent Auction). The Silent Auction items are still up for sale on Bomb’s website: www.bombsite.com/auction.com.
