LongHouse Reserve’s annual winter benefit on Wednesday, February 15, in Manhattan will include the first screening of “LarsenWorld: LongHouse in East Hampton,” a documentary on Jack Lenor Larsen and the 16-acre sculpture garden he founded.
The benefit will be held at the David Rubenstein Atrium at Lincoln Center honoring Obama Presidential Library designers Tod Williams and Billie Tsien, who will be presented with the LongHouse Award recognizing design brilliance.
The evening begins with a cocktail reception at 6 p.m. followed by a discussion about the honorees—who will be introduced by architecture critic and Vanity Fair contributing editor Paul Goldberger—and their design philosophy.
The premiere screening of “LarsenWorld: LongHouse in East Hampton” will follow. In the 23-minute film, Mr. Larsen gives a tour of LongHouse Reserve and described what he created there since acquiring the property in 1975. The documentary also features Mr. Larsen’s career highlights as a textile designer.
Following the film, patron and sponsor ticket holders are invited to a dinner held in a private residence at the nearby San Remo on Central Park West.
Tickets are $125 for the reception only, $750 for the reception and dinner, and $1,250 for a patron ticket, which also includes a signed copy of Mr. Williams and Ms. Tsien’s “The Architecture of the Barnes Foundation: Gallery in a Garden, Garden in a Gallery.” For tickets or more information, email events@longhouse.org, call 631-329-3568 or visit longhouse.org.
