Art Southampton Show Director Nick Korniloff said a solo show by Eric Fischl and a work by Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919) were just some of the artworks to look forward to. "Our model is to present high quality fair with depth and deliver art that meaningful and is of real-time interest to the collectors of today," he said. Art Southampton is produced by Art Miami, which has presented the anchor art fair of Miami’s Art Week held each December. Art Miami has presented 22 fairs since inception. Poised before the Art Southampton was to reveal itself, Korniloff said he was confident that the fair will make waves for its artwork quality and presentation. With a track record of presenting successful art fairs, Korniloff said the fair producers were connected to art collectors and to the galleries exhibiting in their fairs. The combination contributes to their success in Miami, Florida. What remains to be seen if the Hamptons and its collectors turn out and support the fair, said Korniloff. "We feel connected to artwork," he said. "The galleries are showing up and presenting their art. We hope, in return, that people respond by collecting and prove that the high end art market model has a place during the summer months in the Hamptons." Ultimately, the hope is the art and Art Southampton are both embraced. "I hope that people appreciate the atmosphere we've created and the high quality of art that's being presented," said. "We feel thankful for being here and we hope that people feel the same." Here are a few of the artworks that are part of the first Art Southampton art fair: .
