The Leiber Collection
The Leiber Collection
Famed artful handbag designer Judith Leiber, and celebrated modernist artist Gerson Leiber fell in love with Springs in the early 1950s when they began coming ‘Out East’ as a respite from their busy life in New York City. Drawn by the extraordinary light quality, the quiet atmosphere, and the other artistic, intellectual, and lively residents, they found Springs a fertile environment for their creative endeavors, be it Fashion Design, Painting, Printmaking, Sculpture, or Gardening. In 1956 Judy and Gus bought a farmhouse in East Hampton / Springs and Gus says he was overcome by an all-encompassing desire to garden.
