We are delighted to announce that Sean Scully has been named an Officier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, one of France’s highest cultural honours. The award was personally presented by Catherine Pégard, France's Minister of Culture.

Sean Scully’s work is the subject of Lines of Emotion, a solo exhibition at Kunstmuseum Magdeburg. Staged within the monastic architecture of the museum’s four cloisters, the exhibition presents important bodies of the artist’s work from the past three decades, including large-scale ‘Doric’ and ‘Wall of Light’ paintings alongside Scully’s figurative ‘Eleuthera’ series, which is deeply rooted in German Expressionism.

Archive Matrix Assembly: The Photography of Thomas Struth 1978–2018 presents the first comprehensive, systematic theory of Thomas Struth’s main body of photographic work from its beginnings in the late 1970s until his most recent work in 2018. The book presents a unique, evolutionary understanding of the work, proposing that it has established three stages of production: archive, matrix, and assembly. Together the three stages form a developmental system that characterizes the individual photographs, their relation to their subject matter, and how they form larger, significant collections of images. The book project accomplishes three main goals: it develops a comprehensive critical reading of the work, it serves as a monograph of the artist, and it provides an extensive analysis of the photographs at all stages, including the less discussed, more recent photography, which is placed on par with the earlier work for which Struth first became internationally renowned.
