SUMMARY:Curator-Led Tour | Tony Bechara: An Artist of Many Worlds
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER \nFree for Members | $10 Guests of Member | $15 for Resident Benefits PassHolders | $30 Adults | Free for Students & Children \nJoin us for a special tour of Tony Bechara: An Artist of Many Worlds\, led by Kaitlin Halloran\, Associate Curator and Publications Manager. \nAdvance registration is recommended. Limited spaces will be available at the door. \n  \nAbout the Exhibition\nTony Bechara: An Artist of Many Worlds is the first-ever comprehensive survey of Puerto Rican artist Tony Bechara\, including works from his later years and exploring his career-long dedication to color theory and abstraction. Born in Puerto Rico and based in New York City\, Bechara (1942–2025) drew on his bilingual and bicultural upbringing\, his studies in law and international relations\, his long stays in Europe and the Hamptons\, and his characteristic\, enduring curiosity to become a man of many worlds—seeking light and illumination in far corners of the globe and across its diverse cultures. \n \nTony Bechara: An Artist of Many Worlds is part of the Museum’s USA250: Life\, Liberty\, and the Pursuit of Happiness\, a year-long program organized in response to the United States’ semiquincentennial in 2026. Eliciting a dialogue with the Declaration of Independence’s assertion of “the pursuit of happiness” as one of our inalienable rights\, An Artist of Many Worlds proposes that Bechara’s contributions as a Latino/Hispanic artist to American culture—and his own “pursuit of happiness”—have yielded a language of both self-determination and inclusion. Bechara’s unifying pictorial strategy understood as an expression of the pursuit of happiness\, offers a personal yet prophetic visual model for inclusion and collective possibility—one that strengthens the broader fabric of American art and culture. \nTony Bechara: An Artist of Many Worlds is co-organized by Mónica Ramírez-Montagut\, Ph.D.\, Executive Director and Kaitlin Halloran\, Associate Curator and Publications Manager. \nExhibition Support\nTony Bechara: An Artist of Many Worlds is made possible\, in part\, thanks to the generous support of the Estate of Tony Bechara; Steven Pesner in memory of his wife Michèle and his friend Tony Bechara; Lisson Gallery; Maria Eugenia Maury; Karla Harwich; Luis A. Miranda Jr.; Stanley Stairs and Leslie Powell; Dr. Mónica Ramírez-Montagut; Dr. Teresa Ramírez-Montagut and Annaliese Pew; Francisco ‘Frankie’ Bechara and family; and Warren James. \nThe Parrish Art Museum’s programs are made possible\, in part\, by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature\, and by the property taxpayers from the Southampton Union Free School District and the Tuckahoe Common School District.

SUMMARY:Curator-Led Tour | Abstract Expressionism: The East End\, 1940 to Today
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER \nFree for Members | $10 Guests of Member | $15 for Resident Benefits PassHolders | $30 Adults | Free for Students & Children \nJoin us for a special tour of Abstract Expressionism: The East End\, 1940 to Today\, led by Associate Curator and Publications Manager Kaitlin Halloran. \nAdvance registration is recommended. Limited spaces will be available at the door. \n  \nAbout the Exhibition\nFor centuries\, Long Island’s East End has been a hub of artistic innovation and cultural exchange\, where artists have found inspiration in the region’s landscape and thriving arts community. Abstract Expressionism\, while a movement established and developed in New York\, had immeasurable significance on the East End of Long Island—taking shape in the summer of 1945 with Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner establishing their home base in Springs\, NY. Abstract Expressionism: The East End\, 1940 to Today examines how the Abstract Expressionist movement flourished on the East End\, highlighting the many voices who contributed to the genre. \n \nAbstract Expressionism: The East End\, 1940 to Today is part of the Museum’s USA250: Life\, Liberty\, and the Pursuit of Happiness\, a year-long program organized in response to the United States’ semiquincentennial in 2026. The USA250 exhibition series will reflect on the nation’s history and founding values\, examine our present moment\, and imagine new ways of moving forward\, while recognizing the contributions of regional artists to the broader landscape of American art and culture. Responding to language in the Declaration of Independence that states “liberty” as one of the inalienable rights\, Abstract Expressionism: The East End\, 1940 to Today recognizes the contributions of regional artists to the broader landscape of American art and culture while pursuing their own freedom of expression. \nAbstract Expressionism: The East End\, 1940 to Today is organized by Kaitlin Halloran\, Associate Curator and Publications Manager. \nExhibition Support\nAbstract Expressionism: The East End\, 1940 to Today is made possible thanks to leadership support from Kenneth C. Griffin and Griffin Catalyst and the generous support of Sherri and Darren Cohen; Ellen Katz; the National Endowment for the Arts; Berry Campbell Gallery\, New York; Evanne & Edward Gargiulo; Helen Frankenthaler Foundation; Amy and Steven Horowitz; Wolf Kahn Foundation; Lauren and Steven P. Schwartz; IFPDA Foundation; Suzi and David Cordish; and Fred Schmeltzer. \n\n\n \nThe Parrish Art Museum’s programs are made possible\, in part\, by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature\, and by the property taxpayers from the Southampton Union Free School District and the Tuckahoe Common School District.
