Accabonac House is a year-round interdisciplinary artists retreat dedicated to the memory of Lisa de Kooning, who spent part of her childhood in the house, and located in the heart of Historic Springs/East Hampton. Lisa father, the Abstract Expressionist Willem de Kooning, traded a painting for the property in 1961, which served as his first studio in Springs as well as a home for his only child, Lisa, and her mother, the illustrator, Joan Ward.
