September 20, 2007.
Here's a shot of Benjamin in front of his work at the Macy's Passport 2007 V.I.P. gala in San Francisco on Thursday, September 20, presented by American Express. What a fabulous, glittering night. His stunning artwork was displayed on the red carpet right outside the main entrance, and then, immediately inside, this huge suspended version towered over the crowd to welcome everyone into the celebration. It was a perfect complement to the overall fantasy theme of the night. The pre-show entertainment featured onstage and roving performances by Cirque du Soleil. It was inspiring to be part of such an elegant and worthwhile evening of art, fashion and philanthropy which has dazzled for 25 years and raised $25 million in support of the fight against HIV/AIDS.
