We are honored to have been
the FIRST official web site for both
the Parrish Art Museum and Guild Hall for several years - over TEN
YEARS for the Parrish and Group for the South Fork now known as Group
for the East End!! The Parrish Art Museum in
Southampton and Guild Hall of East Hampton are
two pillars of our community who have given us beautiful selections from
their permanent collections as well as their current exhibits on a
revolving basis. Many of the most notable artists in the world such as
William Merritt Chase, Willem de Kooning, Jackson
Pollock, Jane Frielicher, Alfonso Ossorio, Fairfield Porter, Larry Rivers
and James Rosenquist each a part of the East End are presented on these
pages.
In our Art Gallery you'll
find both local, up-and-coming, very gifted artists as
well some of the most famous ones. We maintain an exclusive feature of
color work by Herman LeRoy
Emmet of True Blue Pictures. Emmet is best known for his photographic
essay about a migrant farm family entitled Fruit
Tramps, covered by Life magazine and part of the permanent
collection of The Museum of Modern Art.
Much of the art in our gallery is for sale. If you are interested in a
piece, please use your mouse on any of the
thumbnail images you will find on each page to get the full screen shot
and you will find the prices as well.
A very overlooked side of the Hamptons is of course
its Native American history which is rooted in the
Shinnecock Indian Nation and the
Montauk Indian
Tribe.
Both the Montauketts and Shinneock, "People of the Stony Shore", stem
from the Algonquin heritage and culture and the Shinnecock remain one of
the oldest, self-governing tribes in the country. We are featuring the
artwork of David Bunn Martine, a local
native of Southampton.
