ABOUT THE PARRISH ART MUSEUM:
The Parrish Art Museum is located in Southampton, New York.
Founded in 1897, the Museum celebrates the artistic legacy
of Long Island’s East End, one of America’s most vital
creative centers. Since the mid-1950s the Museum has grown
from a small village art gallery into an important art
museum with a collection of more than 2,600 works of art
from the nineteenth century to the present. It includes such
contemporary painters and sculptors as John Chamberlain,
Chuck Close, Eric Fischl, April Gornik, Elizabeth Peyton, as
well as such masters as Dan Flavin, Roy Lichtenstein,
Jackson Pollock, Esteban Vicente, Lee Krasner, and Willem de
Kooning. The Parrish houses important collections of works
by the American Impressionist William Merritt Chase and the
post-war American realist Fairfield Porter. A vital cultural
resource serving a diverse audience, the Parrish organizes
and presents changing exhibitions and offers a dynamic
schedule of creative and engaging public programs including
lectures, films, performances, concerts, and studio classes
for all ages. On July 19, 2010, the Parrish broke ground on
a new building designed by internationally acclaimed Swiss
architects Herzog & de Meuron. The 34,400-square-foot
facility will triple the Museum’s current exhibition space
and allow for the simultaneous presentation of loan
exhibitions and installations drawn from the permanent
collection. The new building will open on November 10, 2012.
