Insights Hamptons Fine Art Fair
Rick Friedman
Fair Director
What would you say is the DNA of Hamptons Fine Art Fair?
The fair is a tribute to the East End as a longtime haven for the creation and patronage of fine art. It is also a welcome celebration of the recent tidal wave of art galleries, auction houses, and arts foundations that have arrived in the Hamptons, propelling this current explosion in the local arts scene – for the benefit of all art enthusiasts. Overall, the fair has a strong flavor of mid 20th century, Abstract Expressionism mixed with respected, present day emerging artists.
What type of galleries are chosen to exhibit, and why?
We chose respected galleries with strong, recognizable/ renown artists and programs, showcasing post-war to contemporary, in all media. Virtually all have exhibited in other national art fairs. They are selling art works that all have an excellent chance of finding new homes in the Hamptons.
What is the price range of pieces? Who is the average buyer?
Prices begin at $10,000, with sweet spot around $50,000-$100,000. Many pieces range into the mid – high six figures, and some even 7 figures…. The average buyer lives in the Hamptons, in a $2-25 million estate, with big walls… and with sizable discretionary income.
“Overall, the fair has a strong flavor of mid 20th century, Abstract Expressionism mixed with respected, present day emerging artists.“

Who is the typical attendee of Hamptons Fine Art Fair?
Our guests are affluent, and live within a 1 hour drive of Southampton, so basically in the Hamptons area. They are socially savvy, discriminating, taste makers, and range in interest from art patrons to avid collectors to casual enthusiasts.
What strategy – physical as digital – will you adopt in medium to long term?
The Hamptons Fine Art Fair serves as an important fund-raiser for the Southampton Art Center, with support from their 20,000 database of members/ supporters+ plus, our 25,000 database of art buyers. Many local publications are inviting their readers. All 50 physical gallery will have their own OVR, a virtual booth (as well as an extra 20 galleries, just virtual) which will augment the viewership and potential collector audience to national/ international scope.

💫 Booth in the spotlight: @candida_stevens at the @britishartfair 2023. While visiting the fair for the very first time, I came across the booth of Candida Stevens and I’ve appreciated very much its consistency. She presents the work of 4 female artists with different styles and yet United around the theme of nature. Well done Candida!

✨Follow Pauline at the @britishartfair 2023. I finally had the chance to visit this fair, which I’d heard so much about. 70 dealers from London and all over the UK are gathered at the Saatchi Gallery to present a fine cross-section of British art. Lots of paintings but not only! A nice venue for a nice art fair that you can visit until this Sunday evening.
