Sean Scully: Change and Horizontals
Sean Scully’s maturation as a painter can be traced back to innovations in his early drawings. These works are marked by refined geometries that reimagine the history of abstraction as an art rooted in experience—“something felt and something seen,” the artist has said. Accompanying the exhibition Sean Scully: Change and Horizontals, this publication provides a focused survey that comprises Scully’s acrylic, ink, graphite, and masking-tape drawings from 1974–75, as well as two large-scale paintings from the same period. The volume also features a specially commissioned short story by renowned writer Colm Tóibín, as well as an essay by the exhibition curators.
