Living: Social Butterfly

After the Puppetry Arts reception it was on to Giorgio Armani at Phipps, where a clutch of fabulistas turned out to welcome artist Phoebe Beasley.

The elegant Beasley, known for work in collage art, counts Oprah Winfrey and Maya Angelou among her clients.

“I get to interact with their lives every day,” she said. “That to me is the biggest high.”

Prominent Atlantan Sandra Baccus became familiar with Beasley’s work in the early 1980s, and became both collector and friend.

“I just love her as an individual and as an artist,” said Baccus, who holds 12 to 15 pieces of Beasley’s work. She plans a private event this spring where some 30 pieces will be available for purchase.

The crowd included Sally Dorsey, Joanne Chesler Gross, Jada Loveless, Juan and Judith Montier, Eileen Rosencrants and Tesa Render-Wallace. Oh, and a big welcome back to town to Nancy Staab, now editor-in-chief of the Atlantan, after a stint in Houston.
