Sean Scully (b. 1945)
Lot 97 "If you think about what's going on in all these new trends...Richter, Polke, etc...all is in terms of double identity. My work, by comparison, seems absurdly direct with its fixation on being honest: "this is painting"; "this is a brushstroke": it is a kind of manifesto."
(Sean Scully as quoted in Sean Scully: Twenty Years, 1976-1995, ex. cat., Atlanta, High Museum of Art, 1995)
