A special intervention by celebrated artist Sean Scully, showcasing a body of his work alongside that of Giorgio Morandi
This autumn, the Estorick Collection presents a special intervention by celebrated artist Sean Scully (b. Dublin, 1945), showcasing a body of his work alongside that of Italian master Giorgio Morandi (1890 – 1964). The pairing reflects Scully’s longstanding dialogue with the imagery of Morandi who, though ostensibly a figurative painter, “learned the lessons of abstraction”, as Scully observes.
Sean Scully: Mirroring features 20 works by Scully which date from 1964 to the present day, shown alongside a dozen Morandi etchings and drawings from the Estorick’s permanent collection. Encompassing works on paper, paintings and sculpture, many of these new or rarely seen works trace the arc of Scully’s practice, from early representation to geometric abstraction and eventually back to figuration, a journey that mirrors Morandi’s own evolving trajectory.
This intervention is supported by Thaddaeus Ropac.
