Platform held its one-year anniversary party on Wednesday in New York at the Bowery Hotel. Each month, Platform recommends art to purchase alongside a guide that presents guest edits, featuring individuals sharing their favorite pieces at the moment, and artist spotlights. For its anniversary, Platform introduced the Platform Anniversary Capsule, which welcomed back work from some of the brand’s most popular artists from its first year in business. Special attendees of the celebration—including David, Monica, Lucas, and Marlene Zwirner, as well as Nate Lowman and Miguel Angel Payano Jr.—sipped cocktails and danced until the late hours.
