Description

A virtual studio visit with Sean Scully, a unique opportunity to get a behind-the-scenes look at a 50 year career and shoot the breeze with one of the world’s foremost contemporary artists.


Sean Scully is an Irish-born American-based artist working as a painter, printmaker, sculptor and photographer. His work is in the collection of virtually every major museum around the world. In 2014, he became the only Western artist to have had a career-length retrospective exhibition in China. This led to his being awarded the International Artist of the Year Prize in Hong Kong in 2018. Moving from London to New York in 1975, Scully led the transition from minimalism to emotional abstraction in painting, abandoning the reduced vocabulary of minimalism in favour of a return to metaphor and spirituality in art.


This experience can be enjoyed by the winning bidder and up to one guest from the same household for up to 60 minutes
