Join David Breslin, Leonard A. Lauder Curator in Charge of Modern and Contemporary Art at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, for a conversation about the upcoming exhibition he co-curated, Krasner and Pollock: Past Continuous, opening at The Met on October 4, 2026. The exhibition spotlights Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner, two artists with deep ties to the East End, and considers the parallel yet distinct breakthroughs that followed their move to Springs in 1945. Pollock and Krasner shared a long relationship with Guild Hall and in 1981, Guild Hall presented Krasner/Pollock: A Working Relationship, guest curated by Barbara Rose—an art historian, professor, critic, and biographer who organized the first major Lee Krasner retrospective in the mid-1980s.
Presented in partnership with The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

After his father’s unexpected death, pianist Adam Tendler received his inheritance as a literal wad of cash in a parking lot—an encounter that became the catalyst for an ambitious commissioning project. Inviting a wide-ranging group of composers and sound artists, Tendler asked each to respond to the idea of “inheritance,” resulting in a deeply personal yet universally resonant body of new piano works.
Woven into a single intimate program, these pieces explore lineage, memory, loss, and place, forming a meditation on how we confront the past while shaping the future. Featuring commissions by Devonté Hynes, Laurie Anderson, Missy Mazzoli, Nico Muhly, inti figgis-vizueta, and others, the program reflects a striking diversity of voices and perspectives.
Produced by Liquid Music, this project earned a 2026 GRAMMY® nomination for Best Classical Instrumental Solo and has been featured on “CBS Sunday Morning.”
