Sean Scully - Eleuthera

Edited [and foreword] by Klaus Albrecht Schröder. With an essay by Werner Spies, texts by Sean Scully and Elisabeth Dutz, and a poem by Kelly Grovier. Translations: John W. Gabriel and Amy Klement. On occasion of the exhibition in Albertina Museum, Wien, 07.06.2019-08.09.2019. At once a day book and an artist's book, this volume compiles black-and-white pencil and India ink drawings made by Sean Scully in Barcelona and New York between August 24 and October 10, 2010. Bound in handsome pale gray linen cloth, it also contains handwritten observations by the artist. Sean Scully is known above all for his abstract, expressively painted works. The artist creates large-format paintings with an intense application of color and rough brushstrokes; he often has checkered or striped patterns emerge, thus reproducing the aesthetic of geometric minimalism. In the planned exhibition at the Albertina, Sean Scully: 'Eleuthera', Sean Scully and his art will be shown from a much more private side. At the center of the exhibition is the 'Eleuthera' series from the years 2016-17, in which Scully examines a very familiar topic. The series consists of twenty-five large-format oil paintings depicting Oisín, the artist’s seven-year-old son, playing on the beach of Eleuthera, an island in the Bahamas. The accompanying publication presents this new group of works. 157 Seiten mit 106 Farb- und 12 s/w-Abb., Großformat, Halbleinen (Kerber Art/Kerber Verlag 2019) untere Ecken leicht bestoßen/corners slightly bumped
