he Inaugural Art Southampton July 26-30 presented by Art Miami ended on an exceedingly high note with exhibitors reporting important sales throughout the weekend and, indeed, right to the closing. From the Opening Night Preview, word of mouth was extremely positive and what had been termed the art event of the season became the event of summer with attendees calling it “a not to be missed experience.” This first edition produced by Miami’s longest running and the country’s most respected international contemporary & modern art fair drew raves from both collectors and art dealers and literally drew attendees from around the world. Dealers and art enthusiasts gave it an “A+”. Art Southampton kicked off with a VIP Preview to benefit Southampton Hospital attracting over 3,600 attendees including many of The Hamptons’ most prominent collectors, cultural leaders, socialites and philanthropists with Art Southampton Director + Partner Nick Korniloff and Pamela Cohen, Director of Partnerships and VIP Relations, on hand to welcome guests.
