East
Hampton, New York —Guild Hall’s Summer Gala will take place
on Friday, August 10 from 6-11pm. The most anticipated
evening of the summer will celebrate the artist Eric
Fischl with an exclusive preview of his Beach Life

philanthropists Estrellita and Daniel Brodsky.
The Master of Ceremonies is comedian and talk show
host Joy Behar. Guests will dance under the stars to
the sounds of DJ Alexandra Richards, who is also a
model and the daughter of Keith Richards.
The
evening begins with cocktails at Guild Hall and a preview of
the Fischl exhibition. Cocktails and dinner follow under a
tent at an East Hampton Estate. Tickets start at $1,200 for

There
will be a live auction of art to benefit Guild Hall. The
pieces may be viewed online and bids placed in advance
beginning Monday July 30 on Paddle.com (www.paddle8.com/forgood/guildhall)
and ending Friday, August 10th at noon, all bids
will transfer to the live auction at the Gala. If one is not
able to attend the live event, a representative from Guild
Hall will facilitate proxy. Donating artists include Ai
Weiwei Ross Bleckner, George Condo, Paul McCarthy, Malcolm
Morley, and William Wegman.
Eric
Fischl burst upon the art scene quickly gaining
international status in the late 1970s and soon became
associated with the American Neo- Expressionist art
movement. The Beach Life exhibition demonstrates his mastery
of conjuring form and light from paint to communicate the
psychological bearing of his subjects, many of whom are the
artist’s friends and appear in complex gatherings of
couples, families, or groups relaxing and mingling on
beaches in the Hamptons, St. Tropez and St. Barts.
