EXHIBITION
MAIN GALLERIES
July 30 – November 6, 2016
Feast for the Eyes
Feast for the Eyes, guest curated by Franklin Hill Perrell, explores how food has always inspired artists. Drawn from a wide variety of media, the exhibition offers viewers eclectic portrayals of food, restaurants, cafés, shops, parties and table decorations. Included are luscious depictions of food by artists such as Ben Schonzeit and Wayne Thiebaud, Berenice Abbott’s photographs of food-related sights in New York; Judith Leiber’s fabulous jeweled evening bags in fruit and vegetable shapes; as well as Al Hirschfeld’s famed Broadway restaurant and celebrity drawings and humorous cartoons on food and eating by The New Yorker’s Roz Chast. Other major artists in the exhibition are William Merritt Chase, Andy Warhol, Audrey Flack, Henri Matisse, George Grosz, Red Grooms, Claes Oldenberg, Roy Lichtenstein and Cindy Sherman, among others. Among the Long Island artists represented in Feast for the Eyes are Frank Olt, Susan Cushing, Richard Gachot, Bruce Lieberman, Christian White and Joe Szabo.
CONTEMPORARY GALLERY
July 30 – November 6, 2016
Ben Schonzeit: Abstract Figuration
Work by Ben Schonzeit, previously seen at the Museum in the exhibitions, Still Life: 1970s Photorealism and Garden Party, is featured in a solo exhibition that reveals an entirely different aspect of the career of this artist, who is a central figure in the American Photorealist movement. This is very different from the realist work seen in the concurrent Feast For The Eyes exhibition. The Contemporary Gallery exhibition showcases Schonzeit’s collage and sculptural work -- abstract figurations of human forms or portraits that give new life to his materials. Work by Ben Schonzeit has been seen in solo and group exhibitions throughout the U.S. and Europe and is widely included in public collections. A native of Brooklyn, he now lives and works in SoHo.
Ongoing
Sculpture Park
Approximately 40 works, many of them monumental in size, by renowned artists including Fernando Botero, Tom Otterness, George Rickey and Mark DiSuvero among others, are situated to interact with nature on the museum’s magnificent 145-acre property.

The museum’s 145 acres include many marked nature trails through the woods, perfect for family hikes or independent exploration.
Gardens
From restored formal gardens of historic importance to quiet little nooks for dreaming away an afternoon, the museum’s 145 acre property features many lush examples of horticultural arts. Come view our expanded gardens and beautiful new path to the museum.

Feast for the Eyes
Feast for the Eyes, guest curated by Franklin Hill Perrell, explores how food has always inspired artists. Drawn from a wide variety of media, the exhibition offers viewers eclectic portrayals of food, restaurants, cafés, shops, parties and table decorations. Included are luscious depictions of food by artists such as Ben Schonzeit and Wayne Thiebaud, Berenice Abbott’s photographs of food-related sights in New York; Judith Leiber’s fabulous jeweled evening bags in fruit and vegetable shapes; as well as Al Hirschfeld’s famed Broadway restaurant and celebrity drawings and humorous cartoons on food and eating by The New Yorker’s Roz Chast. Other major artists in the exhibition are William Merritt Chase, Andy Warhol, Audrey Flack, Henri Matisse, George Grosz, Claes Oldenberg, Roy Lichtenstein and Cindy Sherman, among others. Among the Long Island artists represented in Feast for the Eyes are Frank Olt, Susan Cushing, Richard Gachot, Bruce Lieberman, Christian White and Joe Szabo.

Ben Schonzeit: Abstract Figuration
Work by Ben Schonzeit, previously seen at the Museum in the exhibitions, Still Life: 1970s Photorealism and Garden Party, is featured in a solo exhibition that reveals an entirely different aspect of the career of this artist, who is a central figure in the American Photorealist movement. This is very different from the realist work seen in the concurrent Feast For The Eyes exhibition. The Contemporary Gallery exhibition showcases Schonzeit’s collage and sculptural work -- abstract figurations of human forms or portraits that give new life to his materials. Work by Ben Schonzeit has been seen in solo and group exhibitions throughout the U.S. and Europe and is widely included in public collections. A native of Brooklyn, he now lives and works in SoHo.
Ongoing
Sculpture Park
Approximately 40 works, many of them monumental in size, by renowned artists including Fernando Botero, Tom Otterness, George Rickey and Mark DiSuvero among others, are situated to interact with nature on the museum’s magnificent 145-acre property.
Walking Trails
The museum’s 145 acres include many marked nature trails through the woods, perfect for family hikes or independent exploration.
Gardens
From restored formal gardens of historic importance to quiet little nooks for dreaming away an afternoon, the museum’s 145 acre property features many lush examples of horticultural arts. Come view our expanded gardens and beautiful new path to the museum.

Sight and Feeling: Photographs by Ansel Adams
Ansel Adams' ability to create photographs with a remarkable range and subtlety of tones is legendary. Yet for all his technical mastery, Adams recognized that what made a compelling photograph was far more elusive. This exhibition of Adams' photographs, from the collection of the Kalamazoo Institute of the Arts, Kalamazoo, Michigan, suggests how his intuitive and emotional response to the landscape resulted in powerful and enduring photographs.
