 Sean Scully Photographs L.A. Louver is delighted to exhibit a selection of the artist's photographs made from 1978 to date. From early figurative work through the Minimalist paintings for which he first established his reputation and the breakthrough paintings of the 1980s, Sean Scully has achieved a reputation as one of the greatest of contemporary artists. Although best known for his paintings, photography has been an important part of Scully's work over the past twenty-five years. Subjects explored in this exhibition include detail studies of the artist's paintings, as well as doorways and facades shot in a rich variety of locations that include London, Scotland, Sienna, Dresden, Omaha, Morocco and the Dominican Republic. LA Louver is also proud to announce the publication by Steidl Verlag of "The Color of Time: The Photographs of Sean Scully", the first retrospective publication of the artist's photographs. The book includes essays by philosopher and art critic Arthur Danto, writer and curator Edward Lucie-Smith, and Mia Fineman, Research Associate in the Department of Photographs at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Born in Dublin in 1945, Sean Scully immigrated to London with his family at age four. At 18 he entered the Central School of Art and continued his education at Croydon College of Art and Newcastle University, England, before studying at Harvard University's Carpenter Center for the Arts under a Knox Graduate Fellowship. He has taught at the Chelsea School of Art and Goldsmiths College, London, and at Princeton University, New Jersey. His work has been exhibited internationally and is in major private and museum collections around the world. Scully lives in New York, Barcelona and Munich, where he is Professor of Painting at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste. November 21, 2003 - January 3, 2004 Gallery Hours: Tue-Sat 10am - 6pm L.A.
