Despite sharing a name with the famous American landscape painter, Frederic Edwin Church became a celebrated artist in his own right. He also found inspiration in the world around him, filling his canvases with the urban and natural landscapes he encountered abroad and on Long Island
Step into the late nineteenth-century world of Edward Lange and follow his journey as an immigrant artist encountering a Long Island rapidly changing around him.
Preservation Long Island was the first venue in New York to host the Smithsonian Museum on Main Street exhibition which took a broad look at the nearly 250-year-old American experiment of a government “of, by and for the people.”
In celebration of the launch of The Art of Edward Lange interactive website, view a select number of original artworks in Preservation Long Island’s collection by Edward Lange (1846–1912), who painted homesteads, local businesses, railroad depots, and harbor front in precise detail during the 1870s and 80s.
Part of the international exhibition, Art Off-Screen, Reposition Relocation is a FREE outdoor contemporary art installation on view in Sag Harbor inspired by historic furnishings at the Custom House.
Please join us on June 13th to celebrate the opening of our latest exhibition that dives into the facts (or lack thereof) behind popular myths encountered at historic house museums.
