Sean Scully Summary

Sean Scully by David Carrier

This book is the first fully illustrated monograph to present an account of his life and career to date, from his childhood in 1950s London to the present day in Munich. Lavish illustrations of his works illustrate the text, and photographs taken by the artist show some of the forms that inspire him, while copious photos of Scully at work in his studio demonstrate how he creates his pictures, from blank canvas to finished work.
