WHAT’S NEW
Keyes General Opens in Southampton
A curated art, design, and objects concept behind Collette Home
Sag Harbor gallery owner Julie Keyes expands her Hamptons footprint with Keyes General, a new Southampton concept blending global art, design, and collectible objects.
Located behind Collette Home on Hampton Road, the space features ceramics, paintings, tribal artifacts, jewelry, surfboards, and rare books, creating a tightly curated mix of contemporary and museum-quality pieces.
Much of the collection is drawn from the late Mary Jo McConnell, Keyes’ former mentor, whose global travels through Papua New Guinea, Borneo, and beyond shaped a distinctive archive of objects and jewelry.
Keyes describes the concept as a modern home edit spanning mid-century design, oceanic artifacts, and one-of-a-kind finds.
