Notes

Lot 148 and Lot 149 were both made in the early 1970s around the time Scully completed his Mural Environment at Dudley Heights, Hillbrow, Johannesburg. While working in the city in the 60s and 70s, Scully was fascinated with the rhythm and movement whereby he translated his experience of the African landscape/cityscape into colour – red, black and gold symbolising the action and drama in the urban landscape.
