Tom Armstrong, Director Emeritus of the Whitney Museum of American Art, was the leader of four American Art Museums over a period of thirty years. He is now the Chairman of the Garden Conservancy, a national preservation organization. Trained as a studio artist at Cornell University, Mr. Armstrong recently combined his interest in architecture, art and landscape in a new steel and glass house designed by Thomas Phifer and Partners, New York City on a three-acre seaside site on Fishers Island, New York (See Architectural Digest, October 2010). Armstrong’s vision of abstraction in the environment of his island home is the topic of his 2011 World Flower Show presentation on Friday, June 17 at 4 pm in the Cityview Ballroom of the Seaport World Trade Center Plaza. Tickets are $10 and may be purchased online at www.wafausa.org.
