In the blog below we highlight some of our favourite IMMA Editions, particularly those that have very limited editions remaining.
We are delighted to announce that The IMMA Shop has acquired a limited number of Alice Maher prints to sell this Christmas. The prints were produced in a set of nine, but can be purchased individually (there is a further discount for purchasing the full set).
Created using a mixture of techniques from etching to carborundum, these works are marked by a riot of colour and play with motifs of corporeal and symbolic metamorphosis. These are the first works by the artist seen since her highly successful solo exhibition, Becoming, in IMMA in 2012. See the full set.

Sean Scully, Grey Robe (2008)
Born in Dublin in 1945, Sean Scully is one of the most respected and well-known artists of his generation. He occupies a unique place in the contemporary art scene, and is widely credited with having expanded the possibilities of abstract painting after Minimalism.
Inspired by a visit he made to an exhibition in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna this aquatint by Irish artist Sean Scully is taken from Titan’s robe, part of a long series of Robe works, comprising paintings, watercolours, pastels and prints. This is an exceptional opportunity to own a work by Scully.
