Hamptons Report: The Art of the Beach…and Bring Me the Head of Caesar!

The Parrish Art Museum's Midsummer Party

It had been years since I’d been to Parrish Art Museum or its annual Midsummer Party, so when I was at the event last Saturday, I went to the rear entrance, thinking I could stroll through the statuary of the 18 Caesars. If you’ve never seen this small but majestic garden, you are missing out.

But alas, one of the marble busts is missing! Was it stolen? Vandalized? Out for cleaning? I wish there was at least a sign. If anyone has any information about the missing Caesar, please let me know so I can sleep. [The museum's director of public relations confirmed that the missing bust is currently in conservation. —Ed.]

For as many years as I can remember, my friend Debbie Bancroft has either chaired or worked tirelessly for this art repository, so I wondered if I’d see her. Sure enough, there she was, dutifully shaking the hand of every guest, including me, as if they were her nearest and dearest. I like it when people do that, don’t you? MORE >>
