CULTURED magazine hosted a party at the Beverly Hills outpost of Michael Werner Gallery to celebrate its September issue featuring actor Vicky Krieps on the cover. Guests including artists, designers, directors, and collectors gathered to view late artist Per Kirkeby's abstract paintings while enjoying Ruinart champagne and LALO Tequila cocktails. Attendees departed with copies of the issue, which features Krieps wearing Issey Miyake and Comme des Garçons.
This event matters because it highlights the intersection of Hollywood celebrity and the contemporary art world, with a gallery space serving as the backdrop for a fashion and film industry celebration. The gathering underscores how art galleries increasingly function as social venues for cross-industry networking, while the presence of artists and collectors among the film crowd reflects the growing convergence of visual art, fashion, and entertainment in Los Angeles.
