PALM SPRINGS, CA--Artist Kevin Berlin is known for appearing at art fairs and at his exhibitions with swarms of orbiting models, for dramatic displays of bravery while taming tigers (mostly the kind with body paint), and for lounging nude with attitude. This past weekend, Berlin found one woman who could tame him - Snow White.
Berlin and White had a fairy tale wedding at the Palm Springs Art Fair - a short drive away from where White's fame as a film star rose from the land of Disney Studios. In true Berlin style, the wedding and its celebrations were presented with fanfair. At least one of White's devoted dwarfs were in attendance to mark the nuptials and wish the new couple well.
However, two large questions remain: Will White keep her name or change it? What will White think of the Hamptons when the couple alights here this summer? If the past is any indicator of the future, expect to see Berlin at Art Hamptons and Art Southampton in July.
Following is an in-depth look at Berlin & White's Valentine Weekend Wedding. Happy Love Day!
