| Aran IslandsJune 28, 2007- August 3, 2007On view in the small gallery is Sean Scully: Aran Islands, a portfolio of 24 black-and-white photographs taken by the artist in the group of islands off the west coast of Ireland. Renowned primarily for his paintings, Scully's photography is an ongoing area of his practice and exploration. Scully visited the islands in 2005 and was drawn to the tightly clustered stone walls that meander over the land. Known for his usage of color, he chose black-and-white film for the Aran Island works, emphasizing the structure and surface. The photographs on view appear in the book Sean Scully: Walls of Aran, published in the UK in May by Thames and Hudson and to be released in the U.S. this September.
