Sonnenfeld for
Performing Arts. A Special Award for Leadership and
Philanthropy will be presented to Ted Hartley. The ceremony
is hosted by Academy of the Arts President, Guild Hall
Trustee, and famed artist Eric Fischl, while writer and
Vogue theater critic Adam Green is the evening's Emcee.
Awards will be presented to the honorees by Richard
Armstrong, Alec Baldwin, Kelly Ripa, and Taryn Simon.
The 2020 award winners join an impressive list of past
honorees including Laurie Anderson, Alec Baldwin, Blythe
Danner, Willem de Kooning, Roy Lichtenstein, Sarah Jessica
Parker, Steven Spielberg, and Bruce Weber. The Special Award
for Leadership and Philanthropy has previously been awarded
to Jo Carole and Ronald Lauder, as well as Peter Jennings,
to name a few.
Salman Rushdie will receive the award for Literary Arts from
artist Taryn Simon. Knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2007
for his services to literature and ranked among the 50
greatest British writers since 1945 by The Times, Rushdie is
the author of 14 novels, a collection of short stories, four
works of non-fiction, and two anthologies. His fourth novel,
The Satanic Verses (1988), was the subject of major
controversy, provoking protests and a fatwa from the Middle
East. His most recent novel, Quichotte, was shortlisted for
this year's Booker Prize. He is a member of the American
Academy of Arts and Letters and a Distinguished Writer in
Residence at New York University.
Dorothea Rockburne will be awarded for excellence in Visual
Arts by Director of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and
Foundation, Richard Armstrong. Rockburne’s interest in
astronomy, cosmology, and a lifelong fascination with
ancient Egyptian proportion and light, shapes her work. She
is featured in the collections of MoMA, New York; Dia Art
Foundation, New York; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York;
Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; Whitney Museum of
American Art, New York; The Brooklyn Museum, New York;
Centre Pompidou, Paris, France as well as countless other
galleries and private collections. Her drawings from the
Michael and Juliet Rubenstein collection are currently
featured in an exhibition at the Met Breuer through March
29, 2020.
Barry Sonnenfeld will receive the award in the Performing
Arts category from popular talk show host and friend, Kelly
Ripa. Sonnenfeld is best known for directing blockbuster
movies such as The Addams Family, Addams Family Values, Get
Shorty, and the Men in Black trilogy. Ahead of his
directorial debut, Sonnenfeld also served as director of
photography on Penny Marshall’s Big, Danny DeVito’s Throw
Momma from The Train, and two Rob Reiner films, When Harry
Met Sally and Misery. Most recently, Sonnenfeld was
executive producer and show runner on Netflix’s award-
winning series A Series of Unfortunate Events, which ran for
three seasons. Sonnenfeld has received the Primetime Emmy
Award for Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series and the
DGA Award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Comedy
Series for Pushing Daisies – ‘Pie-lette.’ He recently
completed his memoir, Barry Sonnenfeld, Call Your Mother,
Memoirs of a Neurotic Filmmaker, which will be published by
Hachette on March 10.
The Special Award for Leadership and Philanthropy will be
presented to Ted Hartley by Alec Baldwin. Hartley is a
member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences
(Oscars) and is a Tony voter. Son of the president of
Northwestern Bell Telephone Company (AT&T) and educated at
Georgetown and Harvard, Hartley went on to become a jet
fighter pilot, a White House Aide in the Kennedy-Eisenhower
era, a US Olympic wrestling finalist, a successful banker,
actor, and finally, CEO of RKO pictures. He has produced
dozens of films, television movies, and Broadway shows. His
most recent stage production, Top Hat, opened on London’s
West End in the spring of 2012 and won the Olivier Award for
the Best New Musical. Hartley was married to the late Dina
Merrill, considered to be "Hollywood's new Grace Kelly” in
1959. As a 22nd surprise wedding anniversary gift, Hartley
donated $1M to Guild Hall in her name to honor her dream of
giving “opportunities for great works of experimental
theatre as well as classics”. They appeared together on
stage at Guild Hall in Dawn O’ Leary’s A Delicate
Arrangement in 2005. When Merrill struggled with declining
health, Hartley initiated art classes in their home,
inviting her friends to join. "It gave her pals an easy way
to see her and to do something together," said Hartley.
After Merrill’s passing, Hartley continued the group art
class, now fully exploring his own found passion for
painting, which has become a major force in his creative
life.
In the fall of 2019, his first one-artist opening at Keyes
Art in Sag Harbor sold out most of the offerings. Tickets to
the Academy of the Arts Achievement Awards Dinner can be
purchased by calling the Special Events Department at
631-324-0806 or visiting
www.guildhall.org
Funds raised benefit Guild Hall’s mission of celebrating the
artistic spirit on the East End by educating, inspiring, and
enriching diverse audiences with engaging year-round
programming.
The Guild Hall Academy Dinner is sponsored by Robert A.M.
Stern Architects. Media Sponsor: Hamptons Magazine.

About Guild Hall Guild
Hall, one of the first multidisciplinary centers in the
country to combine a museum, theater, and education space
under one roof, was established in 1931 as a gathering place
for community where an appreciation for the arts would serve
to encourage greater civic participation. For nearly nine
decades, Guild Hall has embraced this open-minded vision and
provided a welcoming environment for the public to engage
with art exhibitions, performances, and educational
offerings. Art and artists have long been the engine of
Guild Hall’s activities and the institution continues to
find innovative ways to support creativity in everyone. |
