Two art fairs returned to The Hamptons last week to present dueling fairs of mostly contemporary art with curated design. Art Southampton and Market Art + Design arrived and opened with previews on Thursday, July 9, 2015, held at near opposite ends of Bridgehampton with each set on lush lawns spouting natural views.
Partygoers, art lovers, collectors, day trippers, people interested in art and those in the business attended the fairs over the next few days.
Hamptons Art Hub captured some of the people who attended, gallerists who exhibited and scenes that unfolded at both art fairs.
