Sean Scully '48' Sculpture Installed at LongHouse Reserve in East Hampton Through 2028
The Facts
LongHouse Reserve has installed a painted steel sculpture by Sean Scully titled '48' (2024) in its garden, on view from July 14, 2026, through December 24, 2028. The work, a vertical stack of colored stripes, was previously exhibited in New York City in 2024 as part of 'Sean Scully: Broadway Shuffle,' organized by the Broadway Mall Association in partnership with NYC Parks’ Art in the Parks program and Lisson Gallery. Scully, described by The Guardian as the 'greatest abstract painter alive,' is known for transforming geometric stripes into an emotional visual language. The installation is located at the LongHouse Reserve in East Hampton, New York.
The Signal
The installation underscores Scully’s shift from Minimalism to a more expressive, landscape-inflected abstraction, a direction he developed after spending a summer in Montauk in 1982. For collectors, the long-term public display at a major sculpture garden reinforces the institutional demand for Scully’s work and his standing as a leading figure in contemporary abstraction. The outdoor setting also highlights the painterly qualities of his sculpture, linking his practice to the natural environment.
