The Facts

On July 14, 2026, Lisson Gallery announced that Sean Scully's painted stack "48" (2024) has been installed at LongHouse Reserve, where it will remain on view until December 24, 2028. The work, using Scully's signature stripes and color fields with gestures toward land, sea and sky, was included in "Sean Scully: Broadway Shuffle" in New York City in 2024, organized by the Broadway Mall Association, NYC Parks' Art in the Parks and Lisson Gallery. The Guardian has called Scully "the greatest abstract painter alive"; Dublin-born, he moved to New York in 1975 and spent a summer in Montauk in 1982, shifting abstraction from minimalism to emotional abstraction.

The Signal

The LongHouse installation underscores Scully's late-career expansion beyond painting into sculpture, a format now central to his output. It also reflects Lisson's strategy of placing gallery artists in public sculpture settings, reinforcing institutional demand for Scully's work, already collected by major museums worldwide.
