  • Edward Gorey Phantasmagorey, 1974 Pen and Ink with Collage on Paper Collection of Clifford Ross
    Edward Gorey Phantasmagorey, 1974 Pen and ink with collage on paper Collection of Clifford Ross Phantasmagorey is a play on the term “phantasmagoria” which means: “a constantly shifting, complex succession of things seen or imagined.” Like a phantasmagoria, this series of six images reveals dreamlike glimpses into Gorey’s imagination. Each vignette shows a common motif in Gorey’s work, including a ghostly femme fatale, a cat sitting atop a stack of books, and a fur-coated self-portrait. This drawing was made for an exhibition of the same name, held at the Sterling Memorial Library, Yale University, in 1974. An art student named Clifford Ross, now a contemporary artist in his own right, curated the first survey of Gorey’s work for his senior thesis. 501 Harry Benson Scottish, born 1929 Edward Gorey in His New York City Apartment with Cat, 1978 Gelatin silver print Collection of the artist Benson’s photographic portrait offers a glimpse into Gorey’s apartment in Manhattan’s Murray Hill neighborhood, where he lived from 1953 to 1983. Gorey displayed his collection of fine art—including a print by Edvard Munch and drawings by Balthus—next to found objects that he treated as works of art, such as a weathered crucifix and a needlepoint of a skull. Out and about in the city, he took in movies, theater, dance, and art exhibitions. At home, he retreated to his creative sanctuary filled with obscure books, fine art, and his beloved cats. Edvard Munch Norwegian, 1863–1944 The Woman and the Bear, 1908–9 Lithograph on wove paper mounted on wove paper Bequest of Edward Gorey, 2001.13.61 Munch created this image to illustrate his mythical story Alpha and Omega.

  • Town of East Hampton Section VIII. Historic Resources Policy
    SECTION VIII HISTORIC RESOURCES POLICY #23 Town of East Hampton LWRP Historic Resources Policy #23 A. INTRODUCTION History shapes a community in subtle ways, colors the assumptions of community life, enriches and enlivens the sense of place for residents and visitors alike. Historic and cultural resources are the touchstones of tradition. They can be housed in museums, monuments and structures, but the real keys to continuity with the past, and the underpinnings of a viable future, are a community's awareness of its cultural history. The Inventory, Analysis and Historic Resource Policy #23 that follow are intended to promote an ethic of respect for the past, impress the need for study and quality information, and instill pride in the community's cultural and historic resources. In 1998 East Hampton Town celebrates the 350th anniversary of its founding by English settlers, the historical mainstream of present society. There have been other streams too, aboriginal settlements that date to thousands of years B.C., a heritage that left its mark in the Indian place names that abound in the community, and the wealth of archaeological sites the Town struggles to protect from pervasive development. Buildings and structures remind us of the colonial era; only the subtleties of the archaeological record and the oral history of native descendants remains to preserve aboriginal history. Since colonial times the Town has participated in several of the great tides of American history in its journey from a subsistence agricultural and fishing community to a premier coastal resort. The country's military history was acted out here beginning with the American Revolution.

  • Gruen Press Release-1
    YOUNG IN THE HAMPTONS Photographs of the 1950s & 1960s by John Jonas Gruen September 18-October 31, 2013 Opening Reception: Wednesday, September 18, 6-8 pm _________________________________________________________________ “How good it was to be young and in the Hamptons!” writes John Jonas Gruen, who was indeed young and in the Hamptons during the golden years of the 1950s and 1960s. Gruen, a leading photographer and art and music critic of the age, documented this mythical era with hundreds of black and white photographs of legendary painters, poets, actors, musicians, composers and conductors, taken over many summers throughout these decades. Young, sexy and carefree, these were the towering figures in their fields, before they even knew that they were. These were the artists who gave birth to the painting movement of Abstract Expressionism, the literary style known as the New York School of Poets and the Minimalism of mid century composers. Selections from this photography series have been shown in galleries in Southampton and Miami, but this upcoming exhibition at Susan Eley Fine Art will be the first showing in a New York City gallery of these portraits as an entity. The some 45 photographs--on view from September 18-October 31, 2013--have been carefully selected with Gruen and his assistant/co-editor Sam Swasey. Many of the images were published in 2003 in the book Young In the Hamptons, and the Whitney Museum of American Art owns about 300 images from the series. Among the subjects featured are painters Willem de Kooning, Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg, Jim Dine, Larry Rivers; poets Frank O’Hara, John Ashbery, Kenneth Koch, James Schuyler; playwright Edward Albee; composer Leonard Bernstein; pianists Robert Fizdale and Arthur Gold; acting teacher Stella Adler and art dealer Tibor de Nagy.

  • Oral History Interview with Chuck Close, 1987 May 14-September 30
    Oral history interview with Chuck Close, 1987 May 14-September 30 Funding for the digital preservation of this interview was provided by a grant from the Save America's Treasures Program of the National Park Service. Contact Information Reference Department Archives of American Art Smithsonian Institution Washington. D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Preface The following oral history transcript is the result of a tape-recorded interview with Chuck Close on May 14, 1987. The interview took place at the artist's studio on 75 Spring Street, New York City, and was conducted by Judd Tully for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. Interview JUDD TULLY: According to published information, you were born in the state of Washington in 1940. What was your actual birthdate and tell me a little bit about Monroe, Washington? CHUCK CLOSE: July 5, 1940. Monroe, Washington, was a smelly little town halfway up the Cascade Mountains, northeast of Seattle. I didn't live there very long, actually. I was born at home -- not in a hospital -- of humble beginnings. Actually, I want to go back and photograph the house, because if I were a politician it would be great to have a picture of the shack that I was born in. [They laugh.] MR. TULLY: Was it really a shack? MR. CLOSE: Well, it wasn't a real shack, but it was a very modest little cottage. "Cottage" is giving it all the benefit of the doubt. It was definitely on the wrong side of the tracks -- about thirty five feet from the tracks.

  • Transcript of Lecture Delivered By
    Transcript of Lecture Delivered by Sherrill Foster, 4 Fireplace Road, East Hampton, NY 11937 on Thursday, September 27, 2001 at The East Hampton Library MERCHANTS AND EARLY EAST HAMPTON* This paper is about commercial contacts and their importance to early East Hampton. I am not the first to suggest that trade and commerce are vital to the origins of the area. Timothy Breen has said this, as has Richard Dunn.[1]passim. NY 1999. The major players are - much to no one’s surprise - Lion Gardiner and John Mulford. I am pleased to be presented by such an organization as the East Hampton Library. I want to thank Tom Twomey and Diana Dayton for this opportunity to present the results of many years of research into the early history of East Hampton. East Hampton as a provisioning port on Block Island Sound, that great water highway, was founded by merchants - settlers interested in making money. Contrary to what romantics like to believe, Lion Gardiner acquired the island in typical colonial fashion, first in May of 1639, by purchasing it with gifts and a deed signing with the Montauk Indians, notarized by that Boston lawyer, Thomas Lechford.[2]1931, pp. 92-95. Then, again in March of 1640, he purchased the island through James Forrett/Farrett[3](Sag Harbor, 1887) Vol I, p. 1., the agent for the Earl of Sterling (William Alexander). Gardiner had to purchase his island from the owner of this grant, the Earl of Sterling, who had just been granted Long Island with other islands along the southern coast of New England.
