Kiki Smith at Pace
Sculpture, works on paper, and prints by Kiki Smith are on view at the Pace Gallery in East Hampton through Sunday. With a focus on the natural world, the exhibition features large-scape bronze Sungrazer sculptures, meditative drawings of raindrops, and cyanotypes depicting semi-abstracted climatic phenomena.
Other works include the bronze cat sculpture "Minou" (2021), the bronze owl sculpture "Sentry" (2020), and etchings and photopolymer prints. The show illuminates Ms. Smith's multidisciplinary practice and her explorations of the tensions between heaviness and fragility.

Clemente Collection
"Francesco Clemente: Works from the Collection of Thomas and Doris Ammann," a private selling exhibition, is open to the public at Christie's Southampton through Sept. 4.
The exhibition consists of a selection of major paintings from the "Fourteen Stations" series as well as works on paper. The 12 "Fourteen Stations" paintings were shown together in 2000 at Mr. Clemente's Guggenheim Museum retrospective. Of the four on view at Christie's, "No. X" has been called "a central work" by the collector Francesco Pellizzi.
Kendrick's Sculptures
An exhibition of 21 sculptures by Mel Kendrick will open Friday at the Drawing Room in East Hampton and continue through Sept. 19. The show focuses on his various approaches to working in wood, from the early 1990s to the present. Most of the pieces come from single blocks, which he takes apart and reassembles into an infinite variety of forms.
The exhibition includes works in mahogany, walnut, and ebony, many animated by Japan color, a highly saturated paint that has become one of the artist's signature elements.
Celebrating Nature
An exhibition of work by Richard Mayhew is at South Etna Montauk Foundation through Oct. 15. The artist, who is 98 years old, is best known for paintings that use saturated color to render vast landscapes.
The show, which follows a retrospective of the artist's work at the Heckscher Museum of Art, includes examples that range from the early 1960s to 2019, among them oils, watercolors, pen and ink drawings, silkscreens, and etchings.
Mr. Mayhew's work celebrates nature, exploring environments that range from grassy fields to the ocean.
Siqueiros's Workshop
The Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center's Lichtenstein Lecture Series will resume virtually on Sunday at 5 p.m. with a talk by the artist Carlos Morales about the Mexican muralist David Alfaro Siqueiros's 1936 Experimental Workshop, which took place in a studio in Union Square in Manhattan.
Among the participants in the workshop, which taught the use of liquid paint and unconventional techniques, were Harold Lehman, whose work is on view at the study center, and Jackson Pollock, whose poured paintings reflected the workshop's influence.
A Zoom link can be found on the center's website.
Watermill Views
Exhibitions by Christopher Knowles and Robert Nava at the Watermill Center will be open to the public on Saturday, Aug. 20, and Aug. 27 at 2:30 p.m.
Mr. Knowles's show includes drawings, typings, paintings, sculpture, and sound work dating from the 1970s to the present, including works that have never been shown publicly.
Mr. Nava, whose art draws from mythology, philosophy, religion, and ancient history, will show new works on paper made during his residency at the center.
Registration is via the center's website.
Pop-Up in Gansett
A pop-up exhibition of work by Andrea Marie Breiling, a collaboration between the Rachel Uffner and Hesse Flatow galleries, will open with a reception Saturday from 4 to 7 p.m. at Hesse Flatow East, 68 Schellinger Road in Amagansett. The show will feature large, kinetic, site-specific spray paintings made by Ms. Breiling in her outdoor studio in the dunes of Westhampton Beach.
The exhibition will be open on Sunday from 11 to 5, and by appointment from Monday through next Thursday. An email to [email protected] can secure an appointment.
What's the Punch Line?
"Three Women Walk Into a Gallery," a show of work by Kelly Chuning, Ilknur Demirkoparan, and Jennifer Pochinski, will be on view at Mark Borghi Gallery in Sag Harbor from Friday through Aug. 25, with a reception set for Saturday form 5:30 to 8 p.m.
Ms. Chuning's "It's All Just Talk" series uses felt to highlight in phrases the impact of rhetoric surrounding women. Ms. Demirkoparan translates the abstract language of kilims to examine the tension between erasure and endurance. Male-female power dynamics and autobiography are central to much of Ms. Pochinski's work.
Handmade, Heartfelt
"Making References," an exhibition at Keyes Art in Sag Harbor, is focused on three artists who "rely on the handmade and the heartfelt," says George Negroponte, the show's curator.
Opening with a reception Saturday from 6 to 8 p.m. and continuing through Sept. 6, the show pairs the work of Fay Lansner (1921-2010), whose art defied convention by often presenting idealized images of liberated women, with that of Walter Bobbie and Adrianne Lobel.
Ms. Lobel's work ranges from abstract tapestries to paintings of buildings, trucks, and trees, among other subjects, while Mr. Bobbie's cursive and bold line invokes the body without depicting it.
Luminous Skyscapes
"Skyfall," a show of paintings by Anne Raymond, will open at Lucore Art in Montauk with a reception Saturday from 4 to 7 p.m. and remain on view through Aug. 30.
Sky, water, motion, and the transitory quality of changing light and weather are recurring themes in the work of Ms. Raymond, who has lived in East Hampton for three decades. She begins each painting by adding and subtracting pigment, always working light to dark. The result is luminous layers of translucent color, with spontaneous drawing introduced throughout the process.
Easels Up
The Artists Alliance of East Hampton and LTV Studios in Wainscott will inaugurate "Easels Up," the first of what is planned to be an annual art event at LTV, with a reception Friday from 5 to 8 p.m.. The evening, which will be taped for broadcast, will include music, food, wine, and interviews with participating artists by Patrick Christiano.
Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Members of the alliance's board of directors will conduct periodic guided tours.
Well-Being in Springs
Haubrich Art in Springs will open "In the Pink" with a reception Saturday from 6 to 8 p.m. The exhibition will focus on "health, well-being, and all things good, and not so good," says the gallery.
The show will include paintings by Adriana Barone and John Haubrich, and digital images by Christa Maiwald and Pat Place. It will be open by appointment through Sept. 16, via email to [email protected].
Open Studio
Beth O'Donnell's art practice embraces travel and floral photography, encaustic wax paintings on board and Japanese rice paper, and floral dye sublimation prints on metal. Ms. O'Donnell's studio, the Art Barn at Larkin Pond on Swamp Road in East Hampton, is open by appointment through Labor Day weekend.
Appointments can be made by calling Ms. O'Donnell at 917-622-5900 or Coco Myers of Folioeast at 917-592-8033.
