The second annual fair features forty galleries from across the world with contemporary painting, sculpture, photography and prints.
NEW YORK, NY (May 30, 2012) — Created to appeal to the culturally engaged art buyers and
enthusiasts, the second annual ArtMRKT Hamptons will feature leading galleries from across the
country. Forty galleries will exhibit original contemporary painting, sculpture, photography and prints
at the Bridgehampton Historical Society grounds on July 19 – 22. Underscoring the Fair’s
commitment to the visitor experience, this year’s Opening Night Preview will benefit the Parrish
Art Museum. Noted Brooklyn chef Leon Gunn, formerly of Wolfgang Puck, Aria, Noho Star and
Williamsburg’s Traif restaurants, will serve opening night guests his “refined take on the
quintessential Hamptons dining experience -- the summer barbeque.”
Returning this year are many leading New York galleries including Lennon Weinberg, Nancy
Hoffman, Kathryn Markel and Morgan Lehman. Halsey Mackey (Hamptons), Boltax Gallery
(Shelter Island), 101/Exhibit (Miami), Mindy Solomon Gallery (St. Petersburg) and AUREUS
Contemporary (Providence). Joining this line up are P.P.O.W, DC Moore, Envoy Enterprises,
Allegra LaViola and David Lusk (Tennessee).
Launched by seasoned fair veterans, Max Fishko and Jeffrey Wainhause, the artMRKT fairs--
which includes artMRKT San Francisco, Hamptons, Texas Contemporary and the soon-to-be-
launched Miami Project--are well received by exhibitors and visitors alike. “What sets artMRKT
Hamptons apart from other fairs is our intimate scale and dedication to showcasing emerging and
established artists in a relaxed, welcoming environment,” says Fair Director Fishko, “We serve the
ever-growing market for art and still appeal to the more seasoned collector.”
Managing Partner Wainhause adds, “Our aim is to create an enjoyable experience for our clients and
to make the Fair easily accessible. The Fair is centrally located in Bridgehampton near wonderful
restaurants and shops, and the venue and layout of the fair enables the galleries and artists to be
the true stars of the show.”
