It's art fair season now in the Hamptons. Open now are ArtHamptons and artMRKT Hamptons, both in Bridgehampton; in two weeks is Art Southampton. Honorees of ArtHamptons this year are Edward Albee, Billy Sullivan, and the late Larry Rivers. It has a 50,000sf tent with 80 international galleries showing. artMRKT is slightly smaller, with 40 galleries. Tickets start at $25 for a day pass to ArtHamptons and $20 to artMRKT. Even if you're not in a position to buy art right now, it's always worthwhile to browse, educate your eye, and learn about contemporary trends in art.
