Art gets a place in the sun

Designer Frederick Anderson — whose atelier is located in Elizabeth Taylor’s old townhouse on 56th Street — is turning the space into a gallery ahead of Fashion Week. This week, the Mack Art Foundation opened its first exhibition of a new revolving series at the Elizabeth, showing off art by Piper Bangs, Bobbi Essers, Megan Gabrielle Harris and others, alongside Anderson’s fashion and design. “One of the core missions of the Mack Art Foundation is to open doors for artists . . . Creating opportunities for their work to be seen in new settings and by new audiences is an important part of that,” Christine Mack tells Page Six. “Art has the ability to start new conversations and build bridges between different communities.”

Parton is such sweet sorrow


Yola
Country singer Yola celebrated Dolly Parton.

Country singer Yola honored Dolly Parton this week with a rendition of the late legend’s “I Will Always Love You,” which had the crowd at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s “Rock The Ryman” event in tears.

“There was not a dry eye in the house,” a source told Page Six. “Wynonna Judd looked on from the side of the stage,” they added.

The second annual event celebrated Parton’s songs alongside other RHOF inductees who have performed on the Ryman Auditorium stage in Nashville. Gibson guitars sponsored the event and John Oates served as the musical director for the evening. Judd, Sam Bush, Devon Allman, Maggie Rose and The War & Treaty all performed covers of the late country legend’s classics.

Romance on Fritz?

The influencer WAGs are out in full force at the US Open — just not necessarily the current ones! As Taylor Fritz took on Darwin Blanch Tuesday afternoon, spectators spent almost as much time checking out Fritz’s box as they did watching the action.

But the person they were looking for was nowhere to be found. Olivia Jade Giannulli, the nepo-baby influencer – rumored to be romantically involved with Fritz after the pair were spotted together in the city last week – appeared to be a no-show. She also seemed to be absent from Fritz’s Fan Week appearances last week — making her absence all the more conspicuous.

And the irony? Fritz’s ex-girlfriend, Morgan Riddle, was very much in the building. Riddle — another influencer, because apparently Fritz has a type — practically made a career out of being a tennis WAG during her relationship with the American, chronicling everything from what she wore to matches and how she packed for tournaments. Now, with Giannulli nowhere to be seen in Fritz’s box, Riddle was sitting prominently at Arthur Ashe the night before his Tuesday match, cheering on Naomi Osaka as she took on Anastasia Zakharova.

Mike’s like us

He’s just a simple, unassuming billionaire. Former mayor Michael Bloomberg skipped the lobster rolls and steak at the Hampton Classic horse show Sunday, and was spotted munching a hot dog.

“Someone asked him why, and he said, ‘I’m a NOO YAWKAH!’ The financial intel mogul was in Bridgehampton to see his daughter, the famed equestrian Georgina, compete in the annual competition. Also spotted enjoying the action from the swank VIP area — where food was provided by Robbins Wolfe — were Wilbur Ross, Peter Cook and Candace Bushnell, all at Abe Wellington’s table.
