FROM CHICAGO "I just saw a 70-year-old man jumping up and down like a little kid," said one guest at the Museum of Contemporary Art's benefit on Saturday night. Dubbed "Dry Ice," the intimate gathering drew some 200 guests and began with a cocktail reception in the museum's loading dock, where bubble-wrap-lined floors inspired some guests to stomp and hop.

Apart from the D.I.Y. popping sounds, the evening's highlights included an hour-long performance from singer Rufus Wainwright, dinner in lounge-like seating areas on the museum's main floor, and a live auction that allowed guests to bid on contemporary artwork from the likes of Jenny Holzer and Jeff Koons. Tickets went for $1,500 each.

The exhibit went on to set opening-week attendance records. MORE >>
