It has been the society event of the summer since its inception in 2000, and to celebrate its 25th anniversary the Serpentine Galleries have enlisted the help of special guest Cate Blanchett to co-host proceedings, alongside Michael R. Bloomberg, Chairman of Serpentine’s Board of Trustees; Bettina Korek, Serpentine CEO; and Hans Ulrich Obrist, Serpentine Artistic Director. Blanchett will be the first sole artist co-host in the party's 25-year history.
The event, which this year takes place on Tuesday, 24 June in Kensington Gardens, celebrates the Serpentine’s annual pavilion. This year’s will be designed by Bangladeshi architect Marina Tabassum. It is the gallery’s most important fundraiser of the year, and tickets available through its patron scheme cost thousands.
