A Casual Arrangement by William S. Heppenheimer
Guild Hall, an East End haven for cultural viewings, has a lineup of art exhibits sure to intrigue locals. Enjoy Michael Knigin: The Holocaust and Anne Frank. Joan Kraisky will be guest curating Knigin's work from throughout the years. In 1974 Knigin traveled to Israel where he met holocaust survivors and sketched their stories, turning them into montages, which granted him unrestricted access to the Holocaust archives. This exhibit will feature a chronology of Anne Frank's terrors along with her response to them. On Sunday, from 3 to 5 PM enjoy the opening reception with Knigin. Also showing will be Connie Fox & William King: An Artist Couple, guest curated by Gail Levin. Fox, an abstract artist, and King, a figurative sculptor, shared a home but spent time in separate studios within their East Hampton abode in 1983. Similar to other local artistic pairs such as Pollock and Krasner or Brooks and Park, the exhibit will explore this couples interaction and highlight their combinative influences through humor, music, political activism, and modern arm. Fox's work will feature paintings and drawings while King's will be sculptures, chairs, and works on paper. On Sunday, from 2 to 3 PM catch the Opening Exhibition Conversation with the couple. A solo exhibit of William S. Heppenheimer will be in the Spiga Gallery. Heppenheimer was awarded top honors at the 76th Guild Hall Annual Artists Member Exhibition in 2014. Born in New York City and later becoming a year-round East End resident, Heppenheimer admired the properties of color and began to create hard-edge paintings. As time progressed so did his work, as painting and sculpting took a unique style. His multitude of hues combined with symmetry and chaos reflects his work into what is his first one-man museum exhibition. The opening reception for all three shows will be held on Sunday from 3 to 5 PM. The exhibits run through December 31. For more information call 631-324-0806 or visit GuildHall.org.
