Partygoers clock in for MFA all-night event

The Museum of Fine Arts’ 24-hour party to celebrate the opening of the Linde Family Wing for Contemporary Art was a marathon of entertainment with live music, moving art, guests in sparkling attire, and a line to see Christian Marclay’s video piece, “The Clock,’’ that stretched around the museum’s second floor. Channel 5’s Bianca de la Garza was seen mingling by the galleries while WGBH’s Jared Bowen, Emily Rooney, and Frannie Carr took in the bands. Celtics co-owner Bob Epstein and his wife, Esta, praised the clock, which Esta said she saw at the Venice Biennale, while performance artist Amanda Coogan made a slow trek up and down the stairs over and over and over again. (Her 24-hour ascent and descent was called “The Passing.’’) Also spotted during the first few hours of the party were MFA director Malcolm Rogers; salon owner Mario Russo; restaurateur Darryl Settles; MFA deputy director Katie Getchell and director of information technology Phil Getchell; billionaire Mort Zuckerman; real estate developer and MFA donor Ronald Druker; artists Mary Ellen Strom, Wade Aaron, and Doug and Mike Starn; the night’s event planner, Bryan Rafanelli; Taylor McFerrin ( Bobby McFerrin’s son), who DJ’d the late-night dance event; and newlyweds Rachel and Marko Rosenfeldt, Museum Council patrons, who brought their wedding party to the celebration. The party officially ended yesterday at 7 p.m. and included a Sunday morning yoga session.
