Waiters wedged through the crowd trying to serve champagne and French biscuits. Only the sculpture was unmoved by the crush. The outstretched leg of Rodin's Iris was a hazard for every passing guest. Tripped up by Henry Moore's sprawling, 800-lb. King and Queen, a white-jacketed waiter crashed down in bubbly embarrassment. At least one person was served something besides refreshment: at the moment he least expected it, Artist Larry Rivers was handed a subpoena from the Tibor de Nagy Gallery, which claims he violated a contract to join monolithic Marlborough's stable...
