The exhibition at the Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein shows the artist's early work in connection with later groups of works. The focus is on the constructive, in a broader sense architectonic, character of the colour. While subject to a strict picture structure until the end of the 1970s, it unfolds a painterly-haptic quality since the early 1980s. The image carrier receives a complexly arranged architectonic form with which the colour, be it in the form of stripes or fields, begins a lively interplay. In the course of the 1990s the architectonics of the picture carrier calm down. The colour, however, retains its painterly freedom and hereafter constitutes the picture as such – its material, structural and spatial appearance.
With selected works from all of the artist's creative periods, some of which are being shown publicly for the first time, this exhibition reveals an aspect of Scully´s work which until now has received little attention, yet nevertheless is of great significance for the development of the oeuvre.
