Sean Scully at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, TX, United States
The Shape of Ideas, 20 Jun - 10 Oct 2021
This retrospective exhibition covers a time span of almost 50 years in which the artist has continuously developed his approach to abstraction. It gathers 49 paintings as well as 42 works on paper: pastels, drawings and prints from various phases that have hardly ever been exhibited together.
Sean Scully is recognized worldwide as one of the most important painters of our time. He is especially renowned for his rich, materially sensitive abstract paintings, composed of stripes or colour blocks. The exhibition is organized by the Philadelphia Museum of Art and accompanied by a publication.
