Keyes Art in Sag Harbor presents “Bloom” with art by Bert Stern and Hilary Helfant. An opening reception will be held on Saturday, September 2, from 6 to 8 PM.
Helfant, based on the East End of Long Island, is a ceramic artist, and geometric abstractionist. She explores patterns and layers in natural forms. Her pieces don’t replicate nature but develop organically on their own. Using a sphere shape as a starting point, she makes sculpture that one doesn’t just look at, but looks into.
As one of America’s most influential and celebrated photographers, Bert Stern was known for his iconic portraits of Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Marilyn Monroe, Kate Moss, Brigitte Bardot, Marlon Brando and Ray Charles and many others. During his 50-year-career, he created countless award-winning ads, editorial features, magazine covers, films, and portraits.
