Jack the Wolf lives in a beautiful cave on a short mountain, near Colorfull Town. Jack is a happy and benevolent wolf, with only one weakness: CHOCOLATE. Follow Jack the Wolf through the pages of this beautifully illustrated book by world-renowned artist Sean Scully and his son Oisin Scully, to discover the trouble Jack causes to the children of Colorfull Town in his nightly hunts for chocolate dinners, and how his new friend Rebecca the Rabbit helps him restore happiness to the sad children of the town.

Sean Scully's abstract paintings are renowned for transcending mere formal exploration of color, form, and light, reflecting his perspectives on art, society, ethics, and metaphysics. Despite his fame as a painter, his sculptures have received less attention. Scully's sculptural works involve layering materials like steel, stone, bronze, and painted aluminum to create horizontal structures that rise upward, echoing the stripes found in his paintings. This monograph is the first to gather his significant sculptures into one volume, featuring numerous images and extensive essays on his work. Born in Dublin in 1945, Scully is celebrated as one of the leading contemporary artists, engaging deeply with Abstract Expressionism, Action Painting, and Minimalism. He splits his time between New York and Munich, with upcoming exhibitions in 2019 at the LWL-Museum für Kunst und Kultur and San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice. Scully's contributions to the art world have earned him prestigious accolades, including the Guggenheim Fellowship and the Harkness Fellowship. His legacy continues to grow as he remains a pivotal figure in contemporary art.

The internationally renowned artist Sean Scully (*1945) 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 for the first time.

Sean Scully, einer der wichtigsten Künstler unserer Zeit, trägt in seinen Werken Konflikte aus: zwischen Struktur und Emotion, Körper und Geist, Impulsivität und Reflexion. Seit den 1960er-Jahren hat der irisch-amerikanische Maler die Abstraktion neu interpretiert: nicht als rein formale Auseinandersetzung mit Farbe, Form, Fläche, Struktur, Körper und Licht, sondern als ein Medium, dessen Ausdrucksmittel sich sowohl an äußere als auch an innere Stimmungen, an literarische Einflüsse und Körpererfahrungen zurückbinden lassen. Diese Haltung hat Sean Scully in einer Vielzahl von Vorträgen, Interviews und Texten verdeutlicht, die den Ausgangspunkt der Ausstellung Vita Duplex bilden. Mit über 100 Abbildungen gibt der gleichnamige Katalog einen umfassenden Einblick in das bildnerische Œuvre des Künstlers und seine Gedankenwelt und verortet ihn in der Geschichte der abstrakten Malerei. Ausstellung: 24.3.-5.8.2018, Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe 4.5.–8.9.2019, LWL–Museum für Kunst und Kultur, Münster SEAN SCULLY (*1945, Dublin) ist einer der bekanntesten Künstler seiner Generation. Neben zahlreichen Ausstellungen weltweit wurde er mit wichtigen Preisen wie dem Guggenheim Fellowship und Harckness Fellowship geehrt.

Looking at painters who came to prominence in the 1960s, '70s and '80s, this book shows how abstract painting has developed in the wake of postwar movements such as Art Informel.
