"Fifth of July" by Lanford Wilson

Directed by Terry Kinney

"This is the wisest and funniest play of its generation..." -The New York Times

Set in rural Missouri in 1977, Wilson's Broadway hit focuses on the disillusionment with America in the wake of the Vietnam War.  Alternately funny and moving, Fifth of July deals with a group of former student activists and friends and the changes that have been wrought in their lives and attitudes in the years since leaving college.
Starting July 06, 2010

Fifth of July is a co-production with the Williamstown Theatre Festival in Massachusetts

prices: $55/65

 

"Romance" by David Mamet

"It made me weep with delight...ROMANCE is funny.  Extremely funny." - Wall Street Journal

Mamet madness!  This courtroom farce is a roller coaster ride in which Chiropractors, Catholics, Episcopalians, Jews, Gays, Lawyers, Blacks, Shakespeare and even World Peace are all skewered as only Mamet can.  An outrageously zestful comedy - joyfully vicious.  Inspired Mamet at his most adept.  Leave your 'politically' correct' hat at home!

prices: $55/65
Startng August 10,  2010

VERED GALLERY CELEBRATES RENOWNED ARTIST FERNANDO BOTERO WITH AN EXHIBITION OF MAMMOTH PAINTINGS AND SCULPTURES MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND.

Check out the Opening Gordin's View
Vered Gallery, East Hampton
On Memorial Day Weekend Vered Gallery featured its first ever solo exhibition of the work of international sensation Fernando Botero.  Botero: Paintings and Sculptures opened Friday, May 28th and will remain on display in the gallery until Tuesday, June 22nd.   The exhibition will include mammoth paintings and sculptures from the master artist as well as some smaller paintings, sculptures and works on paper spanning four decades of the artist's career.  Included in the exhibition are twenty works that exemplify many of Botero's most familiar themes including nudes, dancers and animals.
 
Columbian artist Fernando Botero’s unique style is recognized and renowned world-wide for the voluminous forms and sensuous figures found within his paintings, sculpture and works on paper.  The monumentality of his images has made his work instantly recognizable.
 
I studied the art of Giotto and all other Italian Masters, I was fascinated by their sense of volume and monumentality, of course in modern art everything is exaggerated – so my voluminous figures also became exaggerated. (Botero)
 
Botero’s monumental sculptures have lined Park Avenue, graced Berlin’s Lustgarten, been exhibited in San Antonio, paraded on the Champs Elysses, graced the streets of Sevilla and delight vacationers at the Grand Wailea resort in Hawaii
 
Also on display in Gallery II will be original works by Avery, Chagall, de Kooning, Fischl, Man Ray, Picasso, Porter, Rauschenberg, Rivers, Stern, Warhol and others.
