Sean Scully recalls the sensual properties of a place or moment and recounts it in paint on linen canvas, with thick sweeps. He once said, “My job is to return abstraction to the people: in a sense, to popularize it without lowering the bar, which is a lot easier said than done.” Spanning 50 years—from 1968 to the present—this show includes 100 works that embody Scully’s prolific career. Highlights include his monumental Crann Soilse, as well as an evocative gouache on paper from 1968. —Elena Clavarino
