Cold War Architecture
“Under the Radar,” an exhibition of work inspired by the radar tower at Camp Hero in Montauk, will open at the Amagansett Library with a reception on Saturday from 5 to 7 p.m. The quest by the Sag Harbor artist Sabina Streeter to paint landscapes led her to the radar tower, whose “sculptural bleakness” and concrete bunkers reminded her of Brutalist architecture.
In addition to the radar dish, the exhibition will include Ms. Streeter’s images of Berlin’s Teufelsberg, a man-made hill atop which the Allies built a listening station to spy on East Germany during the Cold War. The show will also include video installations by Jill Musnicki, photographs by Stephanie Seidl, and a painting by Michael Holman.
Six at Nightingale
For her Sag Harbor gallery’s next exhibition, which will open this evening with a reception from 5 to 7, Sara Nightingale invited Janet Goleas, Laurie Lambrecht, and Ross Watts to each select one artist to join them. Their respective choices were Priscilla Heine, Virva Hinnemo, and Jeremy Grosvenor.
“As the Crow Flies,” so titled because the six artists live and work in close proximity to each other, will remain on view through Dec. 16.
For the Choral Society
Romany Kramoris Gallery in Sag Harbor will hold a reception Sunday from 3 to 4:30 p.m. that will blend music, poetry, and visual art. Paintings by Adriana Barone of windblown flowers and petals will be accompanied by a performance of “Dancing: Variations,” a composition by David Brandenburg, with lyrics by the poet Kathryn Levy, that was commissioned by the Choral Society of the Hamptons and its conductor, Mark Mangini.
A percentage of the gallery’s sales during the holiday season will benefit the choral society, and one of Ms. Barone’s paintings will be auctioned for the benefit.
Joe Overstreet at Firestone
The Eric Firestone Loft, the Manhattan outpost of the East Hampton gallery, will open “Joe Overstreet: Selected Works, 1975-1982” with a reception Thursday from 6 to 8 p.m. The exhibition reflects Overstreet’s experiments with paint application and painting supports, including pouring, cutting, and attaching strips of paint and using wooden dowels to create shaped canvas supports.
Overstreet, who died in June, began his career in the Bay Area before moving to New York City, where he was part of a larger community of artists experimenting with paint, among them Lynda Benglis, Al Loving, Jack Whitten, and Jules Olitski.
The exhibition will remain on view through Jan. 11 at 4 Great Jones Street.
Paintings by De Niro Sr.
“Robert De Niro Sr.: Intensity in Paint,” a show of six works that highlight his exploration of landscape, will open Thursday at DC Moore Gallery in Manhattan with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. and continue through Dec. 21. The show coincides with the publication by Rizzoli Electa of the first monograph of the artist’s work.
De Niro’s paintings reflected his devotion to European modernism and Abstract Expressionism. The works in the exhibition typify his painterliness and fluid brushwork and showcase the vitality of his post-Fauve chromatic composition, according to a release. De Niro spent summers in the Hamptons during the 1960s.
