The Facts

On August 21, 2026, Lisson Gallery announced the opening of Sean Scully's solo exhibition 'STACK' at Château La Coste in Le Puy-Sainte-Réparade, France. Curated by Michel Gauthier, the exhibition brings together the complete 'Stack' painting series, selected 'Cactus' paintings, and 'Natured', a new series of drawings. Known for his large-scale abstract paintings of vertical and horizontal bands, blocks, and geometric forms, Scully has developed a distinctive visual language across painting, sculpture, printmaking, watercolour and pastel over five decades. The exhibition opens on August 23, 2026 and is ongoing.

The Signal

The presentation at Château La Coste, a venue known for integrating art and architecture, provides a unique context for Scully's meditative abstractions. For collectors, the exhibition offers a comprehensive view of the 'Stack' series, which continues Scully's shift of American abstraction toward an emotional, spiritual form. It signals Lisson Gallery's ongoing strategy of placing its artists in prestigious international venues beyond its gallery spaces.
