Ross Bleckner #4

"Myriad local artists claim it is the natural light that attracted them to the East End, but for longtime local Ross Bleckner, the matter is not as clear-cut. “I like the north light,” he says, “but all of that talk about Hamptons light, I don’t think it really has that much of an effect on me. As a matter of fact, I don’t get it. For me, there’s beautiful light wherever you are; it’s all in your head.”

Bleckner has been living and working in the Hamptons since 1987, and in this particular Sagaponack studio, once owned by writer Truman Capote, since the early ’90s. He just renovated the space last year and is currently working on his adjoining home. Inside, the studio is a meticulously organized library, filled with everything from exhibition catalogues of his own work to volumes and pieces by other artists who inspire him, like Sally Gall, Jack Pierson and Adam Fuss. His materials, from paints and brushes to knives and pencils, are all incredibly organized in their own spaces. The only objects ever out of place are four wire-haired dachshunds—Franklin, Winston, Truman and Ratsy—who bound around the studio, four constant critics.
