This major retrospective of work by Sean Scully, renowned as the master of post-minimalist abstraction, revisits two seminal sites in his career — Newcastle, where he studed painting at the university, and Liverpool. On show in two galleries are works demonstrating the confidence of Scully’s earlier works and his continued fascination with stripes and the spaces in between.
