Julian Schnabel established himself as one of the leading painters of his generation in the late 1970s through his use of unconventional materials, varied painting surfaces, and inventive modes of construction. Sustaining that career at a high level for more than 40 years would be enough of a challenge for any artist.
Mr. Schnabel's career is to be the subject of two celebrations in August. "Julian Schnabel: Selected Works From Home," which features paintings, drawings, and sculptures from the artist's personal collection, will open at Guild Hall on Sunday. Guests at Guild Hall's summer gala will be able to preview the exhibition Friday night, and members can do so on Saturday,
