Hamptons Fine Art Fiar
13-16 July 2023
The fair’s Executive Director, Rick Friedman, commented: ‘Our goal is to provide our fellow art-enthusiastic Hamptonites a curated, high-caliber selection of important 20th and 21st century art, ranging from compelling emerging artists to the blue-chip Masters. This is perhaps the deepest and widest selection of significant art ever offered in the Hamptons’.
Shapero Modern will showcase a significant selection of works on paper by Pablo Picasso at Booth 206-207. This year marks the monumental 50th anniversary of the death of the great Spanish-born artist and Shapero Modern are very excited to join forces with the Fair to bring Picasso to the Hamptons.
Along with Picasso we will have fine art editions of American Pop heavyweights including Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, as well as Abstract Expressionists including Helen Frankenthaler and Sam Francis and the Father of Minimalism: Frank Stella.
