Friends of the Design Trust gathered at Rafael
Viñoly Architects on October 12, 2004, for a benefit auction

In honor of the Halloween season, the evening featured over 20 one-of-a-kind
working lanterns, created for the event
by top names in the design world, including

over 120 artists, including David Smith,
Cindy Sherman, Ross Bleckner, Chuck Close, and David
