On Thursday night Sterling Ruby’s first show with dealer Pace Wildenstein opened on West 22nd Street. The LA based artist’s “2Traps” comprises a pair of ominous metal sculptures. One is a modified metal bus, outfitted with woofers and solitary confinement cages. The second piece, “Pig Pen,” is made from metal security doors of a type found in the roughest of neighborhoods.

Collectors Michael Ovitz and Adam Lindemann, architect David Adjaye and Pace artists Chuck Close, Tara Donovan and Tim Eitel were among the attendees. The group migrated to the glitzy Standard Hotel’s party room afterward, where expansive views of the Hudson, glasses of Moet and cheeseburgers were the main attractions.
