Description
A turning point in Scully's paintings
Sean Scully: The Albee Barn, Montauk is a focused survey of the artist's work ranging from 1981 to 2024, exploring his Long Island connection and a significant shift in artistic practice that took place during a residence in Montauk in 1982. The book recalls Scully's fellowship at the Edward F. Albee Foundation where he found great inspiration in the natural landscape of the East End, ultimately transforming his palette to include deep, earthy tones, and transformative whites within his now recognizable vocabulary. The paradigmatic shift proved to be essential in Scully's practice-leading to a breakthrough in style and subject matter. The catalogue will bring together over 70 works and provide an opportune moment to present these paintings produced some 40 years ago as a substantial collection.
