Media Walls

For its annual film benefit in 2011, the Museum of Modern Art honored director Pedro Almodóvar. As a subtle way to acknowledge the Spanish heritage of the director, the organizers added red-hued touches to the minimalist space. To switch things up, MoMA reconfigured the layout, receiving guests through the 54th Street side of the museum rather than the 53rd Street entrance. This new perspective gave producer KCD the opportunity to make a statement in the arrivals and check-in area while not detracting from the modern space and the night's honoree. The celebrity arrivals area was marked by an enormous wall designed by Raul Avila with more than 20,000 red roses.
