Note: "Leading citizens of the present Hamptons artistic community now include, along with Lee Krasner Pollock and Elaine and Willem de Kooning, Larry Rivers, Roy Lichtenstein (the subject of a current exhibition at the Parrish Museum), Jack Youngerman, Chuck Close, Abram Lassaw and Dan Flavin. The star-studded populace draws young artists. ''There's a romance in being around big names,'' said the gallery director Louise Himelfarb, whose gallery is at 38 Main Street in Southampton. ''They're easily accessible here. You can see them walking down the street or in galleries and museums.'"-Harrison, H.A., August 23, 1981, "Art; Married Artists' Own Style", New York Times, Section 11, Page 25.
