I doubt you’ll have much sympathy for me, but I was not looking forward to my day trip to Sagaponack last Saturday.

I had set out to attend the opening of Ellsworth Kelly: Eight Decades, the first show in a partnership between Glenn Fuhrman’s FLAG Art Foundation and the Parrish Art Museum, a pillar of the Hamptons art scene. But a museum opening in the Hamptons in March gets no one’s heart racing.
