Sean Scully Bodies of Color

From 19 June to 18 December 2022, the KUNSTWERK Sammlung Klein presents a show of international standing: a solo exhibition of the Irish-American artist Sean Scully (*1945). On display are paintings, pastels, etchings and drawings from around three decades that present essential leitmotifs of his abstract painting and convey the special quality of his pictures as events that can be experienced both sensually and emotionally. At the beginning of the exhibition, the sculpture Venice Stack made of coloured Murano glass refers to the painter’s sculptural activity. At the same time, it opens up an examination of the object-like, physical aspects of his paintings.
