Standing I (1986) is an important large-format woodcut by Irish-American abstract painter Sean Scully, one of the leading figures of contemporary abstraction. Executed on handmade Okawara paper, the work showcases Scully’s iconic language of bold vertical and horizontal bands, rich textures, and structural rhythm.
Printed by Chip Elwell in New York and published by Diane Villani Editions, this Artist’s Proof represents one of the rare impressions created outside the main edition. As an AP, it holds a privileged status—approved, signed, and dated by Scully himself.
The monumental scale (123 × 91 cm) enhances the tactile beauty of the woodcut process, allowing the natural grain of the block and the delicacy of Okawara paper to interact with Scully’s deep, layered color fields. The result embodies the meditative strength and architectural presence characteristic of the artist’s work.
A significant collector’s piece for admirers of minimalism, lyrical abstraction, and 20th-century printmaking.
