East Hampton was founded by farmers over three hundred years ago, a resort town by the 1800's, the Atlantic-fronted village became a centre for the finer things in life. Today, the world's celebrities hang out in the Hamptons, and now you can join them!
Sea spray and abstract expressionism
Jackson Pollock, crowned king of the group of American painters that has become known as the Abstract Expressionists, famously had his studio here. The house where he worked, together with his far less famous, yet extremely talented wife, artist Lee Krasner, was bought by elite art market master Peggy Guggenheim. Pollock's paintings are now housed in the Guggenheim Gallery in New York City, but the house where they were first created is open for public view Thursdays through Saturdays.
Luxurious lifestyle and rich heritage
Gray shingle homesteads and majestic elms line the streets of East Hampton, many original to the community of farmers and fishermen from Massachusetts and Connecticut who settled here in 1648. Its heritage is still appreciable underneath its bourgeois trappings, recalling the Puritan foundations of this small coastal town.
