Macro Future Museum of Contemporary Art in Rome opens an exhibition of works by the Irish artist Sean Scully, one of the most widely acclaimed and exhibited artists in the world. Born in Dublin in 1945, the artist now lives and works in New York and Europe.

His abstract paintings are often exhibited in the world's leading contemporary museums, like the Whitechapel Art Gallery, the Museum of Art - Carnegie Institute - in Pittsburgh, Palacio Velazquez in Madrid and the Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus in Munich. He was also nominated for the Turner Prize in 1989 and 1993 and was a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich.

This is the second Italian solo exhibition of works by Sean Scully, after the one held at GAM, Bologna, in 1996. The exhibition is organised in cooperation with the Fundacio Joan Miró in Barcelona and the Musée d'Art Moderne in Saint Étienne. Available until 31 August 2008.
