Sean Scully's remarkable paintings of bars, blocks and stripes have earned him an international reputation. His work resides in the permanent collections of major museums around the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Tate Gallery, London and the National Gallery of Australia. His Ookbar, a large-scale, hand-painted canvas from 1993-94, was acquired by the Toledo Museum of Art in 2012.
The artist discussed his work and inspiration during a Masters Series presentation in the Museum's Peristyle Theater on May 1, 2014.
