Christina Ricci at ‘The Artist Is Present’

Last night, Givenchy threw a party at MoMA to celebrate the close of much-discussed “The Artist Is Present.” Marina Abramovic, you just spent week after week sitting, staring, and holding your pee … what are you gonna do next?! “After three months spent in complete seclusion, not having any social life, not seeing any friends, just being in the museum and then home — and then this, all at once. You know, I really live by extremes, and things could not be more extreme than this dinner right now. It’s like, I’m really running on energy that I have no idea where it came from. I think tomorrow after the Symposia at MoMA, I am going to go to the countryside to hug the trees and get into the rivers. That’s what I need. I need nature right now.” For more celebrity quotes, check out our Party Lines slideshow.
