Two concurrent exhibitions open at Vered Gallery in East Hampton

EAST HAMPTON, NY.- “Landscapes/Seascapes” in Gallery I, reminds the viewer of ‘roots’ in a subtle way. Several newly arrived Wolf Kahn’s ‘scream’ to be shown – A delicious, massive 80 inch, blazingly beautiful orange and fuscia, autumnal water view is the centerpiece of the exhibition. It is surrounded by works by Balcomb Greene – Montauk Cliffs and Sea, Thomas Moran’s – Montauk view, a pair of Bob Dash Sagaponack views – and a rich selection of works by Milton Avery. A highlight of the exhibition is a group of Benton ‘discoveries’, exciting synchromist 1922-3 flower oil paintings by Thomas Hart Benton, given as a gift by him in the 1930’s to Jackson Pollock. Benton felt toward Jackson, like a surrogate father. He intended the works to be both an artistic inspiration and an inheritance to Jackson. MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY ART AND 19th AND 20th CEN.
