Painting the Town

Christo and Jean-Claude were among the "colorful" personalities on hand at Louis D. Brandeis High School on the Upper West Side last night, for Stir, Splatter and Roll, the annual charity benefit for Publicolor. The organization, which promotes the use of bright-colored paints to cheer up and re-invigorate lackluster schools, put its hues front and center for the gala, which transformed the Brandeis gymnasium into a veritable rainbow. The pigments on the plate were just as lavish as those on the walls, particularly the starter course of soups, which resembled radiant cans of paint. And in case you doubted that the event's organizers thought of everything, music for the night was provided by a band called, what else? Blue Venom.
