One Art Space at Hamptons Fine Art Fair 2026

One Art Space’s presentation at the 2026 Hamptons Fine Art Fair gave Shepard Fairey a focused role within a group booth. Curated by MaryAnn Giella McCulloh, the selection occupied booth 205A at the Southampton Fairgrounds from July 9 to 12. Fairey led the gallery’s presentation, while its subsequent coverage also documented work by Al Diaz and Chuck Connelly. The distinction makes this a Fairey-focused fair display rather than a purely solo exhibition.

The gallery’s advance account identified three works in particular. Lennon Peace and Liberty (Red), numbered 2/6 and dated 2023, combines silkscreen with mixed-media collage on wood. John Lennon appears before the Statue of Liberty, making a peace sign. Peace Fingers with Poppies, numbered 3/6 and also dated 2023, was described as a silkscreen on wood. Universal Dignity, numbered 3/6 and dated 2022, extended the selection’s emphasis on equality and shared responsibility.

Together, the titles establish a tightly connected vocabulary: peace, liberty and dignity. Lennon Peace and Liberty brings a named cultural figure into relation with a public monument, while Peace Fingers with Poppies moves toward gesture and plant imagery. The shift offers a way to compare how an argument can be made through a recognizable person or through a more general symbol. Universal Dignity then asks the viewer to consider a principle that is broader than any one individual.

The edition numbers are useful object identifiers, but they do not turn the fair into a release event. The works’ stated dates precede the 2026 presentation. Here, the gallery assembled existing pieces into a new viewing context, inviting their themes to be read together. Their relationship is curatorial as well as chronological: a concise selection can make a recurring concern visible without claiming to summarize an entire career.

The fair format also affects that encounter. A booth must offer an immediate point of entry while allowing a visitor to pause and compare works. Fairey’s documented combination of portraiture, gesture and declared ideals provides several such entry points. The selection’s interest lies in how those devices work together, not merely in the recognizability of the artist’s name. With Diaz and Connelly also present, One Art Space placed that focused argument inside a broader account of its gallery program.
