“Nearly everything I have in my work is from memory,” says Sean Scully. “From my Irish gran and from work, working in a factory, working the baling machine, loading trucks, setting type, printing. So I took all this experience and learnt to make it into art.” But not with literal imagery. Scully has also said, “My job is to return abstraction to the people: in a sense, to popularize it without lowering the bar.” He’s famous for paintings that use dense colors and horizontal bars to tell stories. But he’s also transmuted those geometric shapes into sculptures of steel, bronze, and aluminum. In a rare retrospective, Scully’s sculptural creations are on view throughout the property. “My sculptures are very direct. They’re not fussy or complicated,” he says. “They’re really just about form and color and the way they interact with space.” —Elena Clavarino
