About the Item
Sean Scully
Roland Garros French Open tennis tournament, Paris, France (Hand signed by Sean Scully), 2001
Offset lithograph poster (hand signed by Sean Scully)
29 3/4 inches (vertical) × 22 1/2 inches (horizontal)
Edition of 2000 (uniquely signed)
Published by Sean Scully and Galerie LeLong
Unframed
Official offset lithograph poster designed and created for the tennis tournament held at Roland Garros French Open every year. This print was published in a limited edition of 2000, but the regular edition was unsigned. However, exceptionally, Sean Scully hand signed this one in ink directly under the plate signature. Very rare when hand signed and dated by the artist. As it was personally signed by Sean Scully for the present owner in 2023, the provenance is direct.
A collectors item for all fans of Sean Scully and the French Open!
More about Sean Scully:
Sean Scully was born in Dublin in 1945, and grew up in the south of London, where his family moved in 1949. He began painting in the late 1960s, and moved to New York City in 1975; he became an American citizen in 1983. Scully has shown extensively, both nationally and internationally, including, most recently, at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C., Yorkshire Sculpture Park, West Bretton, England, the State Russian Museum, St. Petersburg, Russia, the Wadsworth Atheneum, Connecticut, the National Gallery of Art in London and San Giorgio Maggiore for the Venice Biennale, Upcoming solo exhibitions include the Albertina, Vienna, and in 2020 a major retrospective at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
He is known for rich, painterly abstractions in which stripes or blocks of layered color are a prevailing motif. The delineated geometry of his work provides structure for an expressive, physical rendering of color, light, and texture. Scully’s simplification of his compositions and use of repetitive forms—squares, rectangles, bands—echoes architectural motifs (doors, windows, walls) and in this way appeals to a universal understanding and temporal navigation of the picture plane. However, the intimacy of Scully’s process, in which he layers and manipulates paint with varying brushstrokes and sensibilities, results in a highly sensual and tactile materiality. His colors and their interactions, often subtly harmonized, elicit profound emotional associations. Scully does not shy away from Romantic ideals and the potential for personal revelation. He strives to combine, as he has said, “intimacy with monumentality.”
