Sean Scully: Sculpture
Hardcover | 24.89 x 3.3 x 32.26 cm | 388 pp
Hatje Cantz | 2019 | 9783775746069
Sean Scully‘s abstract paintings are world-famous. In them he moves far beyond a purely formal confrontation with colour, form, plane, and light by also incorporating his attitudes to-ward art, society, ethics, and metaphysics.
To date, however, little attention has been paid to the fact that he also creates sculptures. For these, Scully layers elements made of steel, stone, bronze, and painted aluminium on top of each other, creating horizontal structures that expand upward, yet are also linked to the stripes in his paintings. This beautifully produced monograph is the first to compile Scully’s important sculptures in a single volume. Besides numerous pictures, it also contains extensive essays about his work.
