About this Event

Photograph:Jackson Pollock and James Brooks in Brooks’ Montauk studio, 1950 by Hans Namuth


On Sunday, August 24, at 4 p.m., Helen A. Harrison will trace the history of James Brooks and Charlotte Park’s East End home and studios. She will show photographs of their property near Rocky Point in Montauk—where their friends Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner were frequent visitors—the destruction of their studios by Hurricane Carol in 1954, and their house being moved to Neck Path in Springs. Original documents, including the Montauk deed, the estimate for moving the house to Springs via scow (floating it across Napeague Bay on a barge), and Brooks’ plans for his new studio in Springs, will be on display.


Helen A. Harrison, an art historian and the retired director of the Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center, prepared the 2014 report that prompted the Town Board to designate the Brooks-Park property an East Hampton landmark.
