Party, this year’s honored artist, will receive TWO x TWO’s amfAR Award of Excellence for Artistic Contributions to the Fight against AIDS. Past honorees include María Berrío, Rashid Johnson, Yoshitomo Nara, Alex Katz, Dana Schutz, Jonas Wood, Laura Owens, Ellsworth Kelly, Wade Guyton, Luc Tuymans, Richard Phillips, Mark Grotjahn, Christopher Wool, Peter Doig, Jim Hodges, Elizabeth Peyton, Tom Friedman, Cecily Brown, Julian Schnabel, April Gornik, Ed Ruscha, Joel Shapiro, and Robert Rauschenberg.
