Silvia Bächli from Switzerland (*1956) is one of the most renowned draftswomen in the world.In her subtle works and the staging of them, she reflects not only on her medium, but also again and again on how drawings interact in space.In the exhibition Shift at the Kunsthalle Karlsruhe, the artist is showing works on paper as well as small sculptures for the first time, along with a wall installation developed in cooperation with Eric Hattan.She thus addresses not only drawing as a way of translating perceptions into atmospheres, but also the relationship between head and body, perception and appearance, found object and artistic intervention, single work and group of works, the experience of space and two-dimensionality.The accompanying publication presents these multifaceted interactions.English and German text.Accompanies the exhibition 'Silvia Bächli: Shift', 5 Jul - 29 Sep 2019, Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe, Germany.

With more than 100 illustrations, Sean Scully: Vita Duplex provides a comprehensive look at the artist’s visual oeuvre, as well as his world of ideas, and defines its place in the history of abstract painting. One of the most important abstract artists of our time, Scully (born 1945) allows conflict to take place in his paintings―conflict between structure and emotion, body and spirit, impulsivity and reflection. The Irish-American painter has been reinterpreting abstract art since the 1960s, not as a purely formal exploration of color, form, planes, structure, body and light, but as a medium whose means of expression is tied to external and internal moods, literary influences and physical experiences. Scully has articulated this attitude in many lectures, interviews and texts, which comprise the starting point for this book.

The abstract paintings of the acclaimed New York–based painter, sculptor, writer and poet Sean Scully (born 1945) are world-famous, but until now, relatively little attention has been paid to his sculptures. For these, Scully layers elements made of steel, stone, bronze and painted aluminum on top of each other, creating horizontal structures that expand upward, yet are also linked to the stripes in his paintings. These works are possessed of a compelling simplicity, recalling children’s blocks stacked up in solid or precarious-seeming assemblies. In Scully’s hands, these materials develop into a three-dimensional extension of the horizontal stripes of his paintings, extending their allusions to sea, land and sky into a multiplicity of tactile assocations. This monograph is the first to compile Scully’s sculptures in one volume. Besides numerous plates, it includes several essays about these important works.

History & Criticism

Paintings, sculptures and works on paper from the maestro of luminous abstraction 
This homage to the Irish American painter, printmaker, sculptor and photographer Sean Scully (born 1945) celebrates his uniquely evocative color palette. Over the course of his career, Scully has developed a signature visual language composed of layered colors. In his famed large-format abstract paintings, for instance, pictorial compositions are strictly divided into vertical and horizontal stripes, while his application of color is gestural. Through these juxtaposing elements—geometric structure and painterly drama—Scully creates “walls of light,” poetic walls of color generated by great physical force, both powerful and permeable. 
Accompanying the exhibition at the Langen Foundation in Neuss, Germany, Song of the Colours features a range of Scully’s paintings as well as lesser-known works, including works on paper from the late 1960s and monumental steel and iron sculptures of recent years.
