To mark the 80th birthday of renowned artist Sean Scully, the Bucerius Kunst Forum is presenting a major retrospective. The exhibition features iconic paintings, sculptures, photographs, and rare early works spanning over six decades. Scully is considered one of the most important abstract artists of our time—his works, though abstract, tell deeply personal stories filled with emotion, melancholy, and poetry. The show offers a fascinating journey through Scully’s artistic evolution, from his figurative beginnings and Hard-Edge period to his powerful, multilayered compositions. A special highlight is the monumental outdoor sculpture Air Cage in front of the museum—a pilot project aimed at revitalizing Hamburg’s city center. Experience the emotional power of abstraction in one of the most captivating exhibitions of the year!
