When I was last in New York I took the bus an hour’s ride north of Manhattan, to historic Tappan, and visited Sean Scully in his studio. I first met the contemporary painter at his other New York stud

In 1983, while traveling through Mexico, the Irish-born, American artist [Sean Scully][0] made a series of watercolours inspired by the stacking of stones in Pre-Columbian and vernacular constructions

These lectures and other writings, released in different publications in the last seven years (including several essays originally published in the...

It’s a sunny autumn day in the small Japanese city of Okayama, and two British men born in the 1960s are conversing about cameras. Liam Gillick and I both own the retro-looking Fujifilm X-Pro1, which we’ve chosen for its impressive price-to-performance ratio. “I’ve used it a lot in my work,” a ruddy-faced, relaxed, and...

The long-term collaborators discuss the London Underground and Parreno's commission for Tate Modern's Turbine Hall Liam Gillick:  We first met in Nice in 1990, didn’t we?

Callum Innes sits in the lounge area of the i8 gallery, looking at a flyer while he thinks. He picks up a pen, and unconsciously presses it to the card, about a third of the way in from the left edge. He moves the pen to the centre, and tilts his head slightly, regarding the flyer, now split in two by his line. He shifts the pen to the right edge...

FRIDAY, MAY 20 Opening: Sean Scully at Cheim & Read This show marks a break from the Sean Scully we know, in more ways than one. For starters, these works won’t be on view at Cheim & Read’s white-cube Chelsea space—they’re being shown instead in a temporary, industrial annex in Ridgewood...

We had a chance to speak to the highly [rightfully] lauded painter and printmaker on the eve of his second major retrospective, this time at the University of the Arts in Nanjing.

Irish-American abstract artist Sean Scully counts Irish rocker Bono among his pals and collectors. He wouldn't be unhappy if some of China's 1.4 billion people also took a shine to his art being displayed at a retrospective in Shanghai later this month. Scully, 69, and something of a bear of a man, is delighted that billionaire Chinese...

In a lecture he gave in Vancouver in 2009, Liam Gillick suggested that his career as an artist was catalyzed by an inability to trust his own activity in the field of politics – his first career choi
