COMING SOON | Sean Scully: The Albee Barn, Montauk
OPENING SUNDAY, MAY 11
Sean Scully: The Albee Barn, Montauk is a survey of the artist’s work ranging from 1981 to 2024, exploring his Long Island connection and how a single month spent in Montauk in the summer of 1982 with a fellowship at The Edward F. Albee Foundation became a pivotal place and moment in the artist’s career. The exhibition includes over 70 works in total, chosen in collaboration with the artist to highlight the works’ contextual site—landscape and light—while engaging the viewer in the same context.
