The Peter Marino Art Foundation will present four exhibitions during its 2026 summer season, featuring works by artists Y.Z. Kami, Betty Parsons, Carla Accardi and Robert Nava, alongside a showcase of Tiffany silver objects from the late 19th century. All four exhibitions will run from May 21 through October 3 at the foundation in Southampton. Curated by architect and collector Peter Marino, the rotating presentation draws from his personal collection and includes paintings, sculpture, drawings, photography, furniture and ceramics spanning from ancient Egypt to contemporary art.
Robert Nava: Ten large-scale colorful paintings on view by American artist Robert Nava (b. 1985) feature mythical creatures, dragons and animals. Constantly drawing and reworking his own sketches, Nava experiments with both figuration and materiality. Nava’s fantastical beasts and unconventional scenes reveal an uninhibited creativity while his frenetic, graffiti-like markings imply an undercurrent of destruction.
