2013 White Night LongHouse Reserve Gala

A Lighter Shade of Pale could have been the theme music for this year’s LongHouse Reserve Gala, as the evening’s suggested de rigueur was “shapes and shades of white.”

The 2013 gala was dubbed “White Night” in honor of the godfather of minimalist white architecture Richard Meier. Also honored at the evening’s festivities were Chinese political and art activist Ai Weiwei and art patron, the late Lisa de Kooning.

Saxophonist Dickie Landry, a founding member of the Philip Glass Ensemble, provided the evening’s musical entertainment along with Iranian composer, vocalist and performance artist Sussan Deyhim. Modern dance performances were offered by members of Elisa Monte Dance.

Now in its 22nd season, LongHouse Reserve is an art arboretum founded by internationally renowned textile designer, author and collector Jack Lenor Larsen. The gardens are works of art…filled with works of art! There are over 60 pieces of art in the gardens from a large all white chessboard installation by Yoko Ono called “Play It by Trust” to Willem de Kooning’s “Reclining Figure” in bronze to “Fly’s Eye Dome” designed by Buckminster Fuller. Many are part of the reserve’s permanent collection, while others are on seasonal loan by the artists or collectors. The stunning sculptures blend harmoniously with the multitude of plant and tree species that make up the 16-acre gardens.

The LongHouse building on the grounds was inspired by the Shinto shrine at Ise, Japan and provides a space for art exhibitions, workshops, lectures and studios. At the evening’s event it was filled with dozens of donated artwork for the silent auction in support of the reserve.

Each year thousands of visitors walk the grounds of LongHouse Reserve, including school children who find inspiration and art education throughout the grounds. Opening the grounds to school districts for class trips is of great importance to Larsen, “This fundraiser is so important for our education programs and the 2,000 school children that come here each season.”

The LongHouse Reserve’s mission is to exemplify living with art in all forms and as explained by Larsen, “We strive to awaken the senses, deepen one’s appreciations and empower the artist within.” Indeed, LongHouse Reserve does just that and so much more. The gardens are open for guided tours or self strolls until the fall and yearly memberships to LongHouse Reserve are available and suggested. Truly, the Eden of the East End!

  • From Garden to Plate: Hunter Mangano’s Journey at Shou Sugi Ban House

At Shou Sugi Ban House in Water Mill, you are immersed in the Japanese philosophy of Wabi-Sabi, or the art of impermanence. Known for its spa, nutrition, and lodging facilities, Shou Sugi Ban House was designed by New York and Hamptons architect Debbie Kropf, who artfully chose to infuse elements of the local Hamptons landscape with Japanese principals similar to that of the “ryokan” or a traditional Japanese inn. Aside from its serene and upscale spa services, Shou Sugi Ban House is set apart by its on-property greenhouse, gardens, berry patch, and orchard, all of which are used to make meals for guests of SSBH. @shousugibanhouse

  • The Best Coffee Shops in the Hamptons For a Perfect Brew

For coffee lovers, there’s nothing quite like heading into a local coffee joint, taking solace in the fact that it’s not an international chain. Quaint vibes alongside java that is brewed fresh and local is an experience that simply can’t be replicated at places like Starbucks, Panera, and Dunkin’. Not to say quality coffee can’t be found at these establishments, of course, there is a reason they are the most famous coffee chains in the world after all. But, in the Hamptons, it has always been about small-town charm and chain-everything being few and far between, from stores to restaurants to cafes and beyond.

So, whether you’re a Hamptons local, a vacationer on the East End, or are simply looking for the best local coffee spots in the area, we have a list of 10 must-try coffee shops for you.

  • A Glimpse Inside…East Hampton’s Most Talked About New Construction, Now Complete

Just completed in August 2023, 6 Marley Lane has quickly become one of the Hamptons’ most talked about new constructions. Exclusively represented by The Vince Horcasitas Team at Saunders & Associates, to say they are excited about this rare new construction is an understatement.

Since its inception and throughout construction, the Hamptons real estate community has eagerly anticipated its completion. What has emerged at 6 Marley Lane is—almost impossibly—even more impressive in real life than in renderings.  @hamptonsrealestate @vinceinthehamptons

  • 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
