A retrospective for the most misunderstood artist of the 20th century.

Liam, age 9, stalked toward the meal lying completely still on the ground before him. His ears pointed straight to the sky while his head stayed low and his legs advanced with a deliberative rhythm. Step. Step. He reached his prey, but, taking mercy upon it, simply nudged it with his nose.

The frequency was very high as we walked out onto the street one sultry night recently with O’en, owing to the tree crickets, whose numbers in our otherwise comatose neighborhood seemed to be legion.

Jeremey Tahari, the 18-year-old son of Elie Tahari, the women’s fashion designer, will debut Anti, a new brand of men’s luxury streetwear, at a pop-up shop at his father’s store on Main Street in East Hampton Village on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

In July, for the seventh month in a row, revenues for the Peconic Bay Region Community Preservation Fund were down from the same period last year. Thus far in 2019, $46.8 million has been collected, compared to $60.36 million in 2018, Assemblyman Fred W. Thiele Jr. announced on Monday.

Dear David,

It’s like the opening sequence of a 1930s Hollywood movie. You approach down a long, straight driveway shaded by Japanese Zelcova trees, and the introduction creates moody, cinematic suspense with wildly contrasting patches of light and shadow continuing throughout the grounds and into the house itself, where there are courtyards and pools of light within pools of light.

Paul Goldberger, who has been called America’s foremost architectural critic, first visited the East End nearly a half-century ago. In the mid-1980s, he became a part-time resident of Amagansett, and he’s kept a keen eye on local “progress” ever since.

Guests, even beloved, dear, wonderful guests, make messes. Here in Amagansett on a holiday weekend in gorgeous eastern Long Island, guests produce not only crumbs on the countertops and hair in the showers, but also sand on the floors. (And often sand in those showers, too.)

Britta Steilmann, who had visited the East End for almost half a century before settling here 24 years ago, is adept both as a manager who thinks creatively and a designer of living spaces.

Adrian Devenyi and Ramona Albert embarked on a top-down interior renovation of their storied Sag Harbor house in 2018, and in their case, “top-down” included a tower about 40 feet tall, visible above high hedges and between tall, stately oaks on Jermain Avenue.

Brianne Goutal-Marteau, a three-time Grand Prix runner-up at the Hampton Classic Horse Show in Bridgehampton, said, as she was preparing to take her 2-year-old daughter, Clea, into the Grand Prix ring to be judged by Joe Fargis Sunday morning, that the leadline division, in whose sections 2-to-4-year-olds and 5-to-7-year-olds compete, was “the most important class.”

It was a result that shook the tennis world. In the late summer of 1986, in the U.S. Open’s first round, Paul Annacone of East Hampton defeated John McEnroe, handing the champion of seven Grand Slam singles tournaments a shocking loss.

Early in the morning of Aug. 7, four swimmers — two with considerable open water experience and two with much less — met at the Ship Ashore Marina in Sag Harbor, shook hands, and, in the company of two support boats, set off at 5 a.m. from Cedar Point toward Gardiner’s Island, eight and a half miles away.

An East Hamptoner is longboard champ, Red Devil ocean swims are Saturday at Atlantic Avenue Beach, and two youngsters rake in karate trophies.

The horse action at the Hampton Classic continues through Sunday, while Monday brings the Great Bonac 10K and 5K benefit road races and high school sports start on Tuesday.

They go by many names. Blow toads, sea squab, chicken of the sea, blowfish, and puffers are just a few of the common ones. But no matter which name you know them by, they usually bring a smile to just about any face.

Many of the not-so-rare but equally beautiful native plants were in flower — the yellow Maryland golden asters, the pinkish-purple Joe-Pye weed, the purplish-blue slender bush clover — while several species of goldenrods were just beginning to bloom.

Jonny Shapiro does not like to be called a music executive. The founder of Cinematic Music Group prefers to be described as a producer or entrepreneur. No matter his own label, what is clear is that he learned to make moves, to make things happen for himself, right here in East Hampton.
