grandmother clause: art in the hamptons

Muggy weather notwithstanding, art lovers flocked to the Hamptons by the Jitney-loads this weekend to attend the SCOPE Art Fair. For four art-filled days, East Hampton Studios was transformed into a spacious arrangement of stalls featuring more than 40 galleries from 15 countries. Highlights included the Keszler Gallery (Southampton) booth, which exhibited a fabulous Marilyn Monroe installment from its current exhibition, “Fame + Shame” (the title refers to images of real celebrity mug shots), a series of Andy Warhol-inspired silk-screens by the British-American artist Russell Young. But one of the most eye-catching pieces on the East End this weekend came from Chinese artist Zhong Biao. Artgoers practically gawked at his neo-realist diptych, “Grandma’s Sky,” at the ChinaSquare booth, which juxtaposes a contemporary figure with references to a forgotten China.
