Lot Details
Watercolor over pencil. Bottom center signed, dated and titled in bottom right. On firm watercolor paper. 44.9 x 38.1 cm. , size of sheet. [CH].
- Scully's expressive watercolors represent an independent group on a par with his large-format paintings. - In this work, Scully transfers his "inset" paintings - works with small painted pieces inserted into the canvas - into the watercolor technique. - In 1996/1997, the Staatliche Graphische Sammlung of the Neue Pinakothek in Munich, the Museum Folkwang in Essen and the Galerie Nationale du Jeu de Paume in Paris showed a comprehensive traveling exhibition of the artist's works on paper. - Watercolors from the 1990s can be found at, among others, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Galerie Lelong, New York. Private collection (acquired from the above in 1998)
Characteristic watercolor in good condition. Sheet minimally wavy owing to the technique (in the nature of the work). Minimally discolored in the upper and lower margins. A tiny brown spot in the lower right corner of the sheet.
