The Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago (MCA) is known to draw a chic crowd of art lovers, buyers and supporters. The MCA’s 50th anniversary celebration and preview gala of the Takashi Murakami exhibit The Octopus Eats Its Own Leg, was an abundance of chic glittery, glitz, and glam. Brands such as Gucci, Dolce and Gabbana, Maticevski were well represented. This list is by no means a slight to the chic ladies and gents in attendance that were not spotted. Some guests opt not to be photographed. Below you will find the Best Dressed Guests from artEdge50 gala.
