On Saturday, June, 27, Douglas Elliman Chairman Howard M. Lorber,  and Julie and Edward Minskoff  co-hosted a kick-off cocktail reception for  the Parrish Art Museum’s Midsummer Party at the Minskoff’s art filled residence in the Hamptons. The event was underwritten by ArtElliman, an ongoing initiative which includes sponsorship of the Midsummer Party (scheduled this year for Saturday, July 11) and  the exhibition Andreas Gursky: Landscapes, which opens at the Parrish on  August 2.

In addition to the hosts and Parrish Art Museum Director Terrie Sultan, guests at the cocktail party included artists: Alice Aycock, Dan Rizzie, Hope Sandrow, John Torreano and Jack Youngerman.

A summer highlight, the Parrish Art Museum’s annual Midsummer Party in Water Mill, NY is a festive social gathering of art collectors, artists, socialites, entertainers, philanthropists, and business leaders from the Hamptons and beyond. The elegant affair will treat guests to the Museum’s current exhibitions of world-class artwork, including Chuck Close’s photographs, Tara Donovan’s new site-specific sculptures, and a selection of works from the Museum’s permanent collection.
