At the height of the New York charity world's social whirl, the city's non profit organisations scramble to give gala parties that will tease a few more dollars out of their extremely well-heeled patrons. In Acts of Charity leading photographer Mark Peterson captures this elite world of philanthropy, escorting us to the most exclusive evenings and introducing us to the glamorous members of high society that pose at these very posh parties. A fascinating and highly entertaining insight into the ostentatious world of fashionistas and philanthropists. |
