Yeats, Louis le Brocquy, Patrick Scott, Robert Ballagh, Cecil King, Mainie Jellett and Patrick Collins. While the majority of work in the exhibition is Irish, works by international artists such as Valerio Adami, Josef Albers, Gilbert & George, Jesus Raphael Soto and Janine Antoni are also shown. The exhibition includes some exciting new additions to the Collection such as works by Michael Craig Martin, Vik Muniz and Juan Uslé, and recent Heritage gifts of work by Hughie O’ Donoghue and Sean Scully.
