Drawing Center Honors Sean Scully at Annual Gala with Bono Toast
The Drawing Center held its annual gala on Wednesday, April 10, honoring artist Sean Scully. The event took place at the Tribeca Rooftop in New York City. U2 frontman Bono delivered a lively, poetic toast in tribute to Scully, who responded with his own heartfelt appreciation for the institution. Under executive director Brett Littman's leadership, the Drawing Center has maintained its SoHo location on Wooster Street while renovating its facilities, resisting the trend of expansion or relocation. The center organized Scully's traveling exhibition 'Sean Scully: Change and Horizontals,' which focuses on a pivotal 1970s transitional period and is currently showing in Rome before arriving in New York this fall. The gala attracted numerous friends of Scully, including musicians and other notable figures.
