Honoring Burt Glinn
“A Centennial Exhibition — The Photography of Burt Glinn,” a celebration of the legacy of the noted Magnum photographer and his work, will open Friday at the Springs Community Library with a reception from 4 to 6 p.m. It will remain on view through Nov. 5.
Organized for the Springs Historical Society by Teri Kennedy, its curator, with Elena Prohaska Glinn, his widow, the show includes approximately 30 photographs, spanning his career from war zones and revolutions to bohemian enclaves and cultural landmarks.
Work by Glinn, a member of Magnum Photos since 1951, appeared in Life, Esquire, Geo, and Paris Match, to name a few. His subjects ranged from Fidel Castro and the Cuban revolution to Robert F. Kennedy in the weeks before his assassination to the Metropolitan Opera and Leonard Bernstein.
Glinn spent his final years in Springs with his family and friends.
The Banned Book Project
While Burt Glinn’s photographs will occupy the library’s ground floor, “The Banned Book Project,” a two-part show curated by Karyn Mannix, has taken over the second floor and will share in Friday's reception. “Banned Book” will be on view there and at the East Hampton Library through Oct. 30.
“My intent for ‘The Banned Book Project’ is to highlight the significance of literature and underscore the importance of books in our culture and history,” Ms. Mannix says on her website. “Books connect us physically, emotionally, and intellectually.”
Among the participating artists are AG Duggan, Arlene Bujese, Harold Naideau, Laurie Hall, Rossa Cole, Roz Dimon, Stephanie Brody-Lederman, and Veronica Mezzina.
Watercolors at Ashawagh Hall
“Watercolor Plus,” an exhibition featuring eight local artists, will open at Ashawagh Hall in Springs Friday at 3 p.m. and remain on view through Monday at 3. A reception will be held Saturday from 5 to 7:30.
The show includes work by Kirsten Benfield, Nancy Brody, Barbara DiLorenzo, Laurie Hall, Beth Meredith, Janet Rojas, Carol Craig Sigler, and Jerry Schwabe. All have been members of the group known as Water+Color+Works, which has exhibited often at Ashawagh Hall.
Exhibition hours are tomorrow, 3 to 7:30, Saturday, 10 to 7:30, Sunday, 11 to 4, and Monday, 10 to 3.
Two at Lucore
“The Journey,” a show of paintings by Chris Lucore and sculptures by Stephen Loschen, opens Thursday at the Lucore Art Gallery in Montauk and will continue through Nov. 4. A reception is set for Saturday from 4 to 7 p.m.
Mr. Loschen is showing 17 sculptures, including two new works, as well as pieces spanning his career and offering a look at his evolving practice. Mr. Lucore’s large-scale abstractions join with Mr. Loschen’s sculptures to encourage viewers “to experience abstraction as both a visual and physical passage through time and imagination,” says the gallery.
Big Group at the Depot
“The End II,” the last exhibition of the season at the Deport Art Gallery in Montauk, opens Thursday and will remain on view through Oct. 20. The show features paintings, ceramics, glass, photographs, and mixed media by more than 50 artists.
A reception with live music by a local band will happen on Saturday from 5 to 7 p.m.
Salon Style Show
“Floor to Ceiling,” an edge-to-edge homage to the egalitarian public art exhibitions originating in Paris and London over 350 years ago, will open at the Stella Flame Gallery in Bridgehampton on Saturday, with a reception from 5 to 7 p.m.
