Marilyn Minter's Chewing At Hamberg Kennedy Gallery
Brand spanking new on Jobs Lane in Southampton is the Summer Salon of blue chip art advisers Hamburg Kennedy Gallery who have staked out a prime property to share the works of the world’s leading photographers and contemporary artists with the Summer Colony community. Founded by Marla Hamburg Kennedy, HK Photographs is a private art advisory service with over 30 years of expertise in the Contemporary & Photographic Arts of the 20th & 21st centuries. Maintaining a broad inventory of vintage photography and contemporary works of art with particular emphasis in the Post War Period, Hamburg Kennedy Photographs provides a personal confidential service to clients worldwide with market savvy advice and guidance.They offer a highly individualized approach to advising both the novice and seasoned collector on buying blue chip and emerging painting, sculpture, works on paper and photography and with strong ideals of trust and friendship we enjoy long term relationships with our clients.
Their strong relationships with a vast network of domestic and international artists, dealers and auction houses allow us access to highly sought-after works of art. Since they do not function as a gallery representing artists per se, we offer unbiased advice based on individual clients needs and interests. They operate our business like a private art salon, and work out of a rooftop penthouse in New York's Murray Hill area. They are open to the public by appointment, 7 days a week.

The parties and clubbing will continue unabated but for the serious Hamptons visitor – read big $$$ - this weekend it’s all about art. Not that there aren’t a dozen gallery shows opening every week but this weekend the major players will be strutting their stuff looking to help buyers fill that bare wall space with a Warhol or a Botero for that sprawling lawn.

Voted “Best of the Best Art Event in the Hamptons” by Dan's Papers, The Artist Studio Tours are an exclusive opportunity to visit the studios, homes and gardens of established and emerging artists in the Hamptons. It is a unique opportunity to be up close and personal with artists in their studios and have the opportunity to purchase original works of art directly from the source from the source.
The Artists Alliance of East Hampton was formed in 1984 as the Jimmy Ernst Artists Alliance by close friends of Jimmy Ernst, the internationally acclaimed abstract painter. It was formed in memory of Jimmy Ernst to carry on his vision of an artists’ community.
Among the over 40 artists throwing open the doors to their studios and private homes are such established artists as internationally famed sculptor Phyllis Hammond, the husband and wife team of Rosalind Brenner and Michael Cardacino, Nicole Bigar, Mark Perry, Scott Partlow, Joseph Stella, Philippe Cheng, Frank Sofo and Jim & Jan Hayden.
The dates for the 2010 Studio Tour are today and tomorrow. $50 per person gets you a map and pops you on the guest list of all the studios involved. Make a weekend of it and visit one of the wineries or picnic on the beach in between heady doses of art. Tickets are available at numerous locations. A complete list is available online at www.AAEH.org.
