The Legacy Of Vito Sisti Lives On Through “Women’s Show” Reunion Exhibition

A special iteration of the beloved Women’s Show will take place at Ashawagh Hall in Springs from Friday, May 7 through Sunday, May 9.

The late Vito Sisti curated the inaugural Women’s Show back in 2003. It shined a spotlight on a small group of women artists. Eventually, the event grew over the years to provide an opportunity for several female artists, whose expertise ranged from photography to collage to painting to sculpture, to show their works off to the community.

Karyn Mannix of karyn mannix contemporary is organizing Vito Sisti’s 16 Women Revisited. “When I was asked to organize the Vito Sisti’s 16 Women Revisited Show, I was honored to keep the legacy alive,” Mannix explained.

The reunion show will include works by Abby Abrams, Beth Barry, Eileen Hickey, Elaine Grove, Joanlee Montefusco, Karin Padden, Karyn Mannix, Kate Nicholai, Lisa Weston, Mary Antczak, Nina Bataller, Rosalind Brenner, Sally Richardson, Setha Low, Susan Carlo, and Teri Kennedy.

“It’s empowering to work with this talented group of local women and place them all under one roof,” she noted.

Sisti moved out to the East End during the 80’s while fulfilling his coast guard duty. The mechanic had no conventional art training, but set out to combine his adoration of artists, women, and community through the exhibitions he organized. His first show was one to remember. Dubbed Fine Arts & Auto Parts, it was held during Hurricane Bob in 1991. Since the electricity was out, attendees who wanted a better view of the art actually had to take it off the wall and bring it outside. The laid back vibe was complete with a keg of beer and grills to cook. Many Springs community members ended up stopping by over the course of the next couple of days to cook up whatever they had in their fridge so it wouldn’t go bad. That earned Sisti legend status among those who were there or heard about the fête. The Women’s Show was established a few years after that. Throughout the years, Sisti was deeply involved in the Springs community, serving on several community boards and always lending a helping hand whenever called upon.

“The work is as diverse as the 16 women involved,” Mannix said about the reunion show.

An opening wine reception for Vito Sisti’s 16 Women Revisited will be held on Saturday, May 8 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The exhibition will be open to the public on Friday, May 7 from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., Saturday, May 8 from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and Sunday, May 9 from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Masks are required.

Ashawagh Hall is located at 780 Springs Fireplace Road in East Hampton. For more information, visit www.karynmannixcontemporary.com.

  • Iconic Marders, More Than a Nursery

“Marders” is the high essence of a Hamptons Nursery and so much more. It is the epitome of success, situated on 40 acres of prime Bridgehampton real estate. Charlie Marder of 120 Snake Hollow Road, along with his wife Kathleen have built a monument that has been providing their expertise and services to the residents of the Hamptons for about fifty years.

The stories are now folklore. Back in the day, usually wearing his trademark suspenders, Charlie was ever ready to move the largest trees of the Hamptons whether they were to be planted, relocated, or removed. He once boasted to this reporter that he had the record for the widest load moved by the Shelter Island South Ferry. Charlie said he deposited a tree onto the ferry on one side and fetched it off the ferry on the other side, recalling, “The tree was wider than the ferry, sticking out on both sides.” @marderslandscaping

  • Discover Hamptons History with East Hampton Historical Society’s Guided Tours

We all know that September is the best month in the Hamptons. The summer renters have mostly gone (we’ll miss you!). The weather practically demands that you go out for a walk. Maybe you’ve been too busy at the beach or planning activities for the kids, but now that it’s September, take a stroll, stretch your legs, and explore the rich, beautiful history around the Hamptons.

The East Hampton Historical Society is hosting Guided Walking Tours around the Hamptons all September long, so stay a while and listen.

I love walking tours not just because of the guides, who are great storytellers, but the company and conversations sparked with other attendees. We’re the kind of people you’ll see, hands on hips, squinting to read the well-worn plaque on a historical monument. The people who read those brown signs, who pick up and read the local leaflets at a museum or hotel lobby.  @easthampton_histsoc

  • Real Estate with Diane Saatchi: The One That Got Away

When most people think back to the one that got away, they think about relationships.

I think about real estate.

After 35 years of selling real estate, I’ve seen more instances of homebuyers and sellers getting fixated on the one that got away than you’d think. For buyers, it could be that perfect three-bedroom waterfront cottage that was snapped up the day after they viewed it.

In cases like these, the one that got away isn’t just a quiet reminiscence — it’s a shadow that falls over the months and even years to come, making it difficult if not impossible for would-be buyers to find something that measures up to what they had, or thought they had, before.
