‘Scully’s walls or rather, his constructions – his assemblages of painted blocks, stacked and flanked one against another – do not follow any arithmetic or geometric rule. […] Every block and every unit he sets down is in itself absolutely unique and unrepeatable.’1 Joachim Pissarro, 2026 Galerie Max Hetzler, Berlin, is pleased to present Block, an exhibition of paintings and sculptures by Sean Scully. This is the artist’s second solo exhibition with the gallery. For Block, Scully presents a body of paintings spanning from 1974 to 2026, alongside a selection of sculptures from 2015 to 2025. The works, often vast in scale, engage in dialogue with one another. Echoes in palette, structure and form reverberate across their two- and three-dimensional surfaces.
