This richly illustrated catalogue brings together over 70 works created by Sean Scully between 1981 and 2024, focusing on the artist’s transformative encounter with the natural landscape of Montauk, Long Island. During a residency at the Edward F. Albee Foundation in 1982, Scully found profound inspiration in the region’s quiet expanses and coastal light.

His palette shifted dramatically: earthy tones, whites, and organic rhythms entered his work, marking a key development in his visual language and laying the foundation for his distinctive approach to abstraction. Sean Scully: The Albee Barn, Montauk not only presents a visual journey through four decades but also highlights the crucial role landscape played in his evolving artistic expression.

Key Features of the Book:

- Comprehensive overview of 40+ years of work by a major figure in contemporary abstraction
- New insights into the artist’s transformative Montauk period
- Published on the occasion of the exhibition at the Parrish Art Museum, NY

A must-have for collectors, scholars, and all those who follow the legacy of abstraction in painting. Discover the powerful dialogue between landscape and geometry in Scully’s iconic works.

SEAN SCULLY (*1945, Dublin) is one of the world's most acclaimed contemporary artists.

Scully lives and works in New York, Aix-en-Provence, and Bavaria.
