The exhibition “Julian Schnabel: Selected Works From Home” has just opened in a newly inaugurated gallery at Guild Hall in East Hampton, New York, featuring paintings and sculptures the artist and filmmaker liked so much he decided to keep them for himself.
Schnabel has been a leading figure in the contemporary art world since his first solo show at the Mary Boone Gallery in 1979. Born in Brooklyn, he studied at the University of Houston before applying for an independent study program at the Whitney Museum of American Art, where he famously enclosed his undergraduate portfolio between slices of bread.
