Art Barn
Our morning tour commences with Ellen and Jerome Stern as they welcome us into their Westhampton home, designed by international artist Serge Spitzer. The Sterns have been collecting art for more than 40 years. The three-story tall, 8,500 square foot contemporary art site in the Quogue woods is devoted to sculpture and contemporary photography by cutting-edge artists such as Olafur Eliasson, Anthony Gormly, Menashe Kadishman, and Ann-Sofi Siden.
Lunch
A prix-fixe lunch will be provided at a local seasonal restaurant.
Parrish Art Museum
Museum Director and co-curator of Chuck Close Photographs, Terrie Sultan, will welcome the group and guide guests through the exhibit. This comprehensive survey explores how Chuck Close has stretched the boundaries of photographic means, methods, and approaches. For the first time in his extensive exhibition history, this project delves into the full range of his photographic works, presenting some 90 images spanning 1964 to the present, ranging from straightforward black and white portraits to monumentally scaled, composite Polaroids to the intimately scaled daguerreotypes. Inspired by the natural setting and artistic life of Long Island's East End, the Parrish Art Museum illuminates the creative process and how art and artists transform our experiences and understanding of the world and how we live in it.
Market Art + Design
Market Art + Design will launch in July of 2015 as the evolution of Art Market Hamptons, the east end's premier modern and contemporary art fair. Taking place in an exclusive new waterfront venue at the stunning Fairview Farm at Mecox, Market Art + Design will showcase top tier art presented by the country's best galleries enhanced by a striking and tightly curated Design component pulling from dealers and designers from around the world.
