Shapiro at Pace
An exhibition of sculpture by Joel Shapiro will open Thursday at the Pace Gallery in East Hampton and continue through July 31. The show features wall-mounted, freestanding, and suspended works in painted wood, which reflect the artist's ongoing exploration of the relationship between color, form, scale, and material.
The works' projecting linear elements elicit a sense of movement and encourage the viewer's physical and psychological relationship with space. Painted in tones ranging from subtle to vibrant, they underscore the importance of color in Shapiro's five-decade career.
Long Island Summers
"Summers on Long Island, circa 1925," an exhibition of paintings by Renwick Taylor, is on view at Bernard Goldberg Fine Arts in East Hampton. Little is known about Taylor, whose works are shown here together for the first time in nearly 100 years.
Taylor worked primarily at Laurelton Hall, Louis Comfort Tiffany's estate and studio near Oyster Bay. The paintings on view reflect the influence of Tiffany's stained-glass designs, gem tones, and, in "Figure on Beach," for example, the landscape around Laurelton Hall.
Merging Cultures
Harper's Gallery in East Hampton will open "Gratitud," an exhibition of new paintings by the Colombian artist Carlos Jacanamijoy, with a reception Saturday from 6 to 8 p.m. It will run through Aug. 17.
The show highlights the artist's ongoing determination to express his indigenous roots through the vehicle of painterly abstraction, commonly considered a Western European style.
Mr. Jacanamijoy favors non-representational abstraction and color-field painting for its universalizing appeal, but his palette reflects the dense and lush foliage of Colombia's Putamayo rainforest.
Printmaking Workshops
The Church in Sag Harbor has announced the first two sessions of Open Studio: Monotype Printmaking, set for Tuesday from 2 to 6 p.m. and Aug, 19 at the same time.
A monotype is a one-of-a-kind impression made when ink or paint is manipulated on a plate and then run through a press with paper. Led by Samuel Havens and Susan Bachemin, local printmakers, the workshops will explore the techniques unique to monotype printmaking. The press will be handled by facilitators. Each participant will create a unique print.
Space is extremely limited. The $200 fee includes all necessary materials.
Montauk's Many Sides
James Katsipis has dedicated his photography to capturing the many sides of Montauk, swimming off the coast with camera in hand, surfing huge swells in snowy winter, and exploring the shorelines.
"TAUK," an exhibition of Mr. Katsipis's Montauk images, will open Saturday at the Lucore Art in Montauk with a reception from 5 to 8 p.m. It will remain on view through Aug. 9. The show includes 20 ocean-based photographs taken over the last 18 years, featuring images of surfing, waves, and portraits of the Montauk beach community.
Rauschenberg's Roots
The Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center's Lichtenstein Lecture series will continue on Sunday at 5 p.m. with "Robert Rauschenberg and World War II: Roots of Artistic Identity," a talk by Catherine Craft, curator at the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas.
In the final months of the war, Rauschenberg was drafted into the Navy. Ms. Craft will discuss archival sources that have shed a new light on the artist's earliest creative ambitions, as well as the importance of his involvement with shell-shocked servicemen for his subsequent artistic career.
The free talk will take place at Hoie Hall, behind St. Luke's Episcopal Church in East Hampton, as well as on Zoom.
A Discreet Couple
Frank J. McIntosh, a designer in the fashion and luxury retail worlds, and Jerry Schofield, a fashion illustrator and artist, lived together in Greenport from the early 1960s until Schofield's death in the early '80s. The couple moved in elite circles, socializing with, among others, Clement Greenberg, Mark Rothko, and Andy Warhol.
"A Hidden History," an exhibition organized by Alison M. Gingeras, is on view at the Natali/Keyes Gallery in Greenport through Aug. 15. The gallery has been transformed into a reimagining of Schofield's studio, with a selection of his drawings hung salon style on the gallery's pink walls. Being shown publicly for the first time, the drawings demonstrate the artist's draftsmanship and sense of style.
Modern Scrimshaw
"Water and Power," a solo exhibition of work by Peter Spacek, will open at Grain Surfboards in Amagansett with a reception Friday from 5 to 7 p.m. and continue through Aug. 15.
Mr. Spacek, an artist who is also an illustrator for The Star, has pioneered a new and sustainable style of scrimshaw, etching into the surfaces of discarded surfboards, as opposed to whalebone or ivory. The exhibition includes wave-charging resin panels, prints and apparel with Mr. Spacek's unique imagery, and scrimshaw-detailed fish and other creatures.
Street to Studio
Colm Rowan Fine Art in East Hampton will open "The Graces," a show of 12 new paintings by Angela China, with a reception on Saturday from 5 to 7 p.m. Ms. China began using street art as a way to start conversations with the public, mainly on the topics of women's issues and sexual politics.
Her move from the street into the studio led to a change in her painting from a graphic, depictive style to a highly expressionistic form of figuration, including a wittily lacerating portrait of notable male sexual predators.
The show will run through Aug. 14.
