Masks will be required and there will be limited or no staff for some in-person viewing experiences.
While the in-person art world in New York City remains mostly shuttered because of the pandemic, some galleries are opening spaces in the Hamptons.
One of them, Pace, will open a temporary 1,700-square-foot exhibition space in July in an East Hampton Village that it plans to keep open through Oct. 12. The inaugural exhibition will feature new drawings by the Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara. This month, the auction house Sotheby’s will open a pop-up gallery, which a spokesman, Darrell Rocha, said would allow for “immediate purchase across both fine art and luxury goods.” In an email, he said Sotheby’s recognized “that many of our established clients as well as many potential new clients have been and will continue to be out East.”
Marc Glimcher, chief executive and president of Pace Gallery, said in an email, “We saw an opportunity to get business back on its feet during the summer by opening in East Hampton.
