Jane Manus and J. Mackey Gallery present a selection of works marking the significant cultural and personal milestones of summer 2026, including the 250th anniversary of the United States. The installation features a red, white, and blue palette that references civic symbolism through abstract representation.

The works reflect on the role of public art in shaping shared environments, suggesting that sculpture can exist seamlessly within everyday life while enriching public space. In parallel, the exhibition also acknowledges Manus’s own artistic milestones, honoring a long and sustained studio practice. Manus notes:

“My first solo show was in 1976, and I'm celebrating 50 years of being a professional sculptor.”

Installed at Spring Close Farm owned by Harry Pinkerton, the sculptures are intentionally linear and open, allowing them to engage the landscape of one of East Hampton’s most beautiful garden are without dominating it. The works are conceived to exist in harmony with their environment, extending rather than interrupting the space around them.

J. Mackey Gallery, East Hampton, first connected with Manus following her 2025 museum exhibition at the Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens in Palm Beach, Florida.
