As summer in the Hamptons draws to a close, we decided to take a local excursion to Martos Gallery in East Marion, New York—a stone’s throw from our house in Water Mill. To get there, we drove to Sag Harbor, took a ferry to Shelter Island, then took another ferry to Greenport—easy and fun! First we checked out Greenport Village, which is a charming old town with a New England feel. As we drove to visit the gallery we found the most wonderful handmade candy at The Candy Man in Orient. This store is a MUST to visit! I bought boxes of candy as gifts.
The Martos Gallery’s fourth annual exhibition, LAT. 41° 7′ N., LONG. 72° 19′ W, showcases artworks both inside the 1902 Victorian home and outside on its large lawn. The show was fun and had a couple of surprises. There is artwork all over the house—one can walk up vibrant neon stairs decorated by Jim Lambie to the second floor and encounter 24 plaster heads by the amazing sculptor Barry X Ball. There are familiar artists names that one would know and others that may not have shown before.
