What better place to celebrate the summer art scene than in the Hamptons? This year marks the seventh edition of the Market Art + Design fair, which brings together a compelling selection of Modern and contemporary art in Bridgehampton. If you’re lucky enough to have a foothold over there—I’m officially jealous—you should spend your weekend visiting local venues as well. Explore C Fine Art’s eclectic group show of sculpture, or visit the uncanny valley of magical realism in paintings at RJD Gallery. The master herself, Mary Heilmann, is the subject of a lovely exhibition at the Dan Flavin Art Institute, and that frankly is enough to justify the entire drive out there, if you ask me. Jeff Lincoln Art + Design, meanwhile, offers a range of gorgeous abstract work, including the likes of Yayoi Kusama, Al Held, and John Chamberlain. Lastly, be sure to head to Rental Gallery for a show curated by Rashid Johnson, wherein the artist explores his lifelong fascination with the indelible and colorful work of Bob Thompson.
