Billionaire art collector and philanthropist Eli Broad recently hosted a dinner in honor of the 40th anniversary of Art Basel, and Lauren Greenfield was on hand to document the starry event for W magazine. Among those on the guest list: David Lynch, Cindy Sherman, Benedikt Taschen. Greenfield’s photos, plus the complete story, can be found here.

Meanwhile, over in the crocodile-tears department, Marie Claire did a feature on the plight of women whose husbands have been imprisoned for fraud. Women like Bernadette Noe, who was forced to move into her $5 million winter vacation home in Key Largo. Yes, it’s very, very sad. Marie Claire contributing editor Gretchen Voss handles the story with admirable grace and minimal snark, and Greenfield approaches the photography with her signature curiosity and open-mindedness. Voss’ story is here, and Greenfield offers an excellent expanded version of her photo essay here.
