Art dealer Vito Schnabel, 37, and Russian model Helena Althof, 21, recently tied the knot in a very small and private ceremony in Old Westbury, NY. The guest list was exclusive, with notable attendees such as Rolling Stone founder Jann Wenner, Ivanka Trump, and Jared Kushner. However, Schnabel’s famous family members, including his actress sister Stella and his father Julian Schnabel, did not attend the wedding. Despite the small size of the ceremony, the couple’s wedding reception was held at the Richard Meier-designed mansion that Schnabel purchased in 2019.
The guests were given only a week’s notice to RSVP to the wedding, which featured invitations with a childlike design. According to reports, the invites had Mickey and Minnie Mouse on them and resembled a typical birthday party invitation. This whimsical touch added a playful element to the otherwise sophisticated and glamorous event.
A Stylish Reception
The wedding reception, as depicted on Althof’s Instagram page, featured a lavish spread of sushi, caviar, and an edgy devil-red wedding cake. The elegant and chic affair seemed to reflect the couple’s eclectic taste and high social standing. The presence of notable art figures such as artist Rashid Johnson and art collector Aby Rosen added to the artistic flair of the event.
Schnabel and Althof first met in Saudi Arabia while sailing on the yacht of mogul James Packer, adding a touch of romance and serendipity to their love story. At the time, Althof was just 19 years old, while Schnabel, a seasoned bachelor, was approaching his 38th birthday. Despite his past relationships with high-profile women like Amber Heard, Irina Shayk, and Heidi Klum, Schnabel’s marriage to Althof marks a new chapter in his personal life.
The wedding of Vito Schnabel and Helena Althof was a blend of sophistication, charm, and intimacy. From the private ceremony to the stylish reception, every aspect of the event reflected the couple’s unique personalities and shared interests. As they embark on this new journey together, Schnabel and Althof serve as a testament to the power of love and companionship in the fast-paced world of art and celebrity.
