BRIDGEHAMPTON, New York — This weekend the second annual artMRKT Hamptons art fair took over the grounds of the Bridgehampton Historical Society, with 40 participating galleries from throughout the U.S. showing works by modern and contemporary artists. From Thursday night's Parrish Art Museum benefit preview to the tanned crowds perusing the spacious booths — and their conspicuous displays of Popsicle art — the fair's sophomore outing was a resounding success.
The second of this summer's three Hamptons art fairs on consecutive weekends, artMRKT followed ArtHamptons earlier this month, and will be complemented by the inaugural Art Southampton fair this weekend. ARTINFO was on the scene in Bridgehampton with summering collectors to peruse the fair's eclectic offerings.
