Over the years, the Museums holdings have grown to encompass a distinguished collection of American art from the nineteenth century to the present, with a particular focus on the art and artists of Long Islands East End, and includes paintings by American Impressionist William Merritt Chase and works by the pre-eminent 20th-century realist Fairfield Porter.
Today the collection includes the work of many of the most important artists who have lived and worked in the region, including Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, Willem de Kooning, Dan Flavin, and Roy Lichtenstein, as well as those who are currently part of the dynamic art scene, such as John Chamberlain, Chuck Close, Eric Fischl, April Gornik, and Elizabeth Peyton.
Throughout the year, the museum features changing exhibitions. Works from the collection are highlighted in select exhibitions but are not on view in a permanent installation. Please check the Museum's current exhibition schedule for information.
A new and greatly expanded facility, designed by the internationally renowned firm of Herzog & de Meuron, is scheduled to open in 2009, and will enable The Parrish's growing collection to be on view year round.
