Résumé : This catalogue, the second volume in a proposed series of five, chronicles Sean Scully’s paintings of the 1980s. Beginning with major breakthrough works early in the decade, it profiles the development of Scully’s mature style as well as his growing success in America and internationally.Scully, a native of Ireland, was educated in England and moved to the United States in 1975. By the early 1980s, he was established in New York and making works that would influence his work years to come. In works both small (Solomon) and large (Heart of Darkness), Scully developed a powerful style of richly painted stripes and shapes with a masterly control of color and strongly built canvases. In an era of low regard for abstract painting, Scully invigorated and reinvented the form to include rich evocations of places, literature and other art forms, and emotions. By the end of the decade, he was universally regarded as one of the most important artists of the second half of the twentieth century.

Résumé : Les peintures abstraites de Sean Scully sont mondialement connues. Par ce moyen d'expression, il va bien au-delà d'une confrontation purement formelle avec la couleur, la forme, le plan et la lumière en incorporant également ses attitudes envers l'art, la société, l'éthique et la métaphysique. Jusqu'à présent, cependant, peu d'attention a été accordée au fait qu'il crée aussi des sculptures. Pour celles-ci, Scully superpose des éléments d'acier, de pierre, de bronze et d'aluminium peint, créant des structures horizontales qui s'étendent vers le haut, mais qui ont aussi un lien avec ses bandes picturales. Cette monographie est maintenant la première à rassembler les sculptures importantes de Scully en un seul volume. Outre de nombreuses photos, il contient également de nombreux essais sur son travail.

Résumé : You, Me and Art. Artists in the 21st Century gives extraordinary insights into rich and diverse artistic practices of our time. Never has contemporary art been so popular as it is now, never has its audience been so wide. In the rapidly changing and vastly expanding art world, one thing has never changed: it is the artist who remains at the center of the artistic universe. In fascinating personal interviews, seventeen outstanding contemporary artists reflect on what does it mean to be an artist today, providing material to analyze the most urgent questions of the current art system. What values should prevail? How to define the artist when the notions of shaman, revolutionary, and bohemian are no longer relevant? What is the relationship between artists and their public? As artists operate in close connection with curators, collectors, and gallerists, to complete the picture, Marta Gnyp has given voice to a few excellent actors from these sectors who speak about their vision of contemporary art and reflect on the changing post-war art system. Interviewed artists: Carl Andre, Michaël Borremans, Mark Bradford, Glenn Brown, Mary Corse, Anthony D’Offay, Wojciech Fangor, Walton Ford, Adrian Ghenie, Mark Grotjahn, Damien Hirst, William Kentridge, Robert Longo, Sarah Lucas, Shirin Neshat, Demetrio Paparoni, François Pinault, Sean Scully, Pat Steir, Kaari Upson, Danh Vo
