Description

Considering the quality of the Bank of Ireland’s collection, it is clear that the corporate patronage of contemporary art forty years ago was carefully considered and well organised. The Bank of Ireland art collection is as serious and important as that of any museum in Ireland. Assembled initially by Ronnie Tallon, and later by Neil Monahan, it is particularly strong in Irish art of the third quarter of the twentieth century – a key period, when Modernism and hard-edge painting challenged the insular Romanticism of Patrick Collins and Daniel O’Neill. The books features 54 artworks by 40 Irish artists, with an essay by Aidan Dunne. The artists are: Robert Ballagh, John Behan, Basil Blackshaw, Brian Bourke, Charles Brady, Louis le Brocquy, George Campbell, Patrick Collins, Barrie Cooke, Michael Craig-Martin, Gerard Dillon, Micheal Farrell, Gerda Frömel, Martin Gale, Erik Adriaan van der Grijn, Tim Goulding, Patrick Graham, Charles Harper, Patrick Hickey, Neville Johnson, Roy Johnston, Oisín Kelly, Cecil King, Norah McGuinness, Theo McNab, Seán McSweeney, FE McWilliam, Anne Madden, Colin Middleton, Evin Nolan, Eilís O’Connell, Tony O’Malley, Daniel O’Neill, Nano Reid, Patrick Scott, William Scott, Camille Souter, Charles Tyrrell, Michael Warren and Alexandra Wejchert.
