Timken Holiday Party 'Plein D'Art' and 'Plein Festive!'

The Timken Gala Party is one of the festive treats of the holiday season drawing a very nice crowd of San Diego art patrons amidst a backdrop of the Timken's incredible Putnam Collection.

Timken Museum of Art's Director John Wilson explains it best. "The Timken's annual Holiday Party has been the best way to greet the season for almost 25 years. Phemie Davis was an outstanding chair of the event and we're so grateful to her for organizing an extraordinary party. The endowment of the Putnam Foundation (the parent of the Timken Museum of Art) exists to provide great works of art to the public for free. Everything else we do through the generosity of our friends and benefactors. The Timken Holiday Party is one way we thank these magnificent friends."

And what a way to celebrate amidst the Timken Collection's of European paintings, Western art, and San Diego's only painting by the great Dutch Artist Rembrandt Harmensz van Rijn aka Rembrandt to most of us.

Among the black tie and festively dressed crowd inspired by the theme's Bartolomeo Veneto’s Portrait of a Lady in a Green Dress were Ann Jones, Kathryn Colachis, Maggi Crowell, Ellen and Tim Zinn, and Leslie and Gary Meads.

Guests enjoyed tantalizing Italian inspired fare by Giuseppe Fine Catering. Mouth watering bites of Cabernet poached seckle pear pizetta, antipasti choices, and a salmon layered pasta were de rigeur for the custom designed menu by Larry Rinehart of Giuseppe's. Sparkling Prosecco was a choice drink. The desserts were amaretti cookies.

The Bunnell Strings played festive fare throughout the evening as guests talked of the upcoming contemporary video portraits exhibit by Robert Wilson featuring Robert Downey, Jr. among others.

Another future exhibit (2012?) at the Timken Museum might possibly be the Parthenon drawings (metopes and more!) by Professor Katherine Schwab.... and yes she is a relation! .... my sister!
