Kenyan born Wangechi's cuffs helped to raise over 3 million dollars for the Whitney Museum of American Art’s Gala and Studio Party sponsored by Versace. Co- Chaired by Allison Kanders, Liz Swig and Donatella Versace with special guest Patrick Dempsey, the evening’s theme, Whitney-Past, Present and Future, was a visual sensation with inspired décor that fused high fashion and contemporary art. This represenation of her work is far different from the normal usage of oil, ink, acrylic and PET film used to depict feminist and racial issues; nonetheless, Wangechi has broaded her horizon and will hopefully continue to work in fine jewelry and and fine metals.
