One of the oldest galleries on the East End of Long
Island. Established in the late 60's as The Tower Gallery,
it was a venue for art exhibits and poetry readings by
members of what became known as the New York School -
painters such as Fairfield Porter and Mary Abbott, and
poets such as Kenneth Koch and John Ashbery. As a
result, the gallery became a magnet for serious artists who
relocated to the area either full time or for the summer
months, including painters such as Larry Rivers, Robert
Dash, and Jane Freilicher.
The Tower was reopened in 2005 by painter Yolanda
Merchant as the Ferregut Tower Gallery. It occupies the
second and third floors of a brick and masonry building at
the southwest corner of Job's Lane and South Main Street.
Its top-floor the exhibition space - the tower itself -
looks out on both streets, and on its neighbors, the
Parrish Art Museum and the former Rogers Memorial
Library building, as well as the tops of some elms.
The Gallery's mission is to continue the tradition of
exhibits set by the Tower Gallery. That is, of promoting
artists with strong and opposing visions. The Ferregut
Tower Gallery has exhibited some of the gallery's original
artists who's works contribute to the gallery's unorthodox
diversity such as Fairfield Porter, Antonio Ciccone, Andy
Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Elizabeth Strong-Cuervas.
The Ferregut Tower Gallery is located at 3 South Main
Street, in a tower, at the heart of the Village of
Southampton, just a mile from the Atlantic Ocean.
