Schedule:
7:45am: Guest arrival at the Museum
Guests meet at the Museum at 2 Columbus Circle on Thursday, July 11, 2013.
8:00am: Guest departure from the Museum
Guests will travel via private chartered bus to the Pollock-Krasner House & Study Center.
Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center
The group will be guided through a visit of the Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center, the former home and workspace of artists Jackson Pollock and his wife, Lee Krasner Pollock. The house contains all the furnishings and artifacts that were in the house at the time of Krasner’s death in 1984, and features changing exhibitions of artwork related to the Study Center’s mission. The studio floor documents the evolution of many of Pollock’s masterpieces, including Autumn Rhythm, Convergence, and Blue Poles. Krasner preferred to tack her canvases on the walls, where the lively gestures and brilliant colors found in her expressive abstractions are still visible.
Lunch
A pre-fixe lunch will be provided at a local seasonal restaurant.
Longhouse Reserve
Founded by Jack Lenor Larsen, LongHouse embraces a comprehensive view of art. Guests will be guided through the collections and gardens to view the ethnographic works and handcrafts alongside modern masterpieces. Mr. Larsen will welcome the group, including a discussion on LongHouse Reserve and the collections he has acquired. Art in the Garden displays permanent works along with seasonal loans from artists, collectors, and dealers. Highlights include Red Garden, designed by founder Jack Lenor Larsen; Cobalt Spears, a glass installation by Dale Chihuly; and Reclining Figure by Willem de Kooning, a sculptural work by one of America’s best known Abstract Expressionists.
Parrish Art Museum
Museum Director, Terrie Sultan will welcome the group and take guests on a tour of the newly opened Parrish Art Museum designed by Herzog & de Meuron. The Museum opened the doors of its new, 34,400-square-foot building in November of 2012. The new Parrish includes 12,200 square feet of exhibition space—three times that of the Museum’s former home on Jobs Lane in Southampton. Seven sky-lit galleries devoted to the permanent collection showcase the story of America’s most enduring and influential artists’ colony—Eastern Long Island.
