Surely one of the hottest art events in New York City, the block-party launch of Peter Tunney’s new space on Franklin Street attracted over a thousand guests Wednesday September 21st.
The haute crowd included New York “Housewife” Cindy Barshop, producer Charlie Corwin, “Miami Ink” star Ami James and many art collectors, fashion heads and other powerful New Yorkers. Party-goer went back and forth between his two galleries across the street from one another and rocked out to performances by LA band Hot as Sun and New York singer/songwriter Blake Ian.
