74 Sean Scully (b. ) pAris blACk (2004) signed, dated ‘04 and numbered 21/40 limited edition lithograph - numbered 21 from an edition of 40 75 x 106cm (29.53 x 41.73in) Provenance: Private Collection Based in New York, Sean Scully is a global figure in contemporary art, but retains a particular connection to Ireland. His signature pictorial style, which features colour in bands and blocks, arranged on a right-angled grid, is geometric but emphasises the deli- cacy and fallibility of the human touch. As it happens, it turned out to be well suited to printmaking, and he has produced many fine series of prints, working with skilled printmakers. The give and take of the process suits him and, it is said, that the decisive moment has arrived when he tells the printmaker that it’s time to use black. €5,000-7,000 (£4,347-6,086)
