Programme of Events

VISIT EXHIBITIONS
Enjoy free entry into ‘IMMA Collection: Freud Project’, a major exhibition of 50 works by one of the greatest realist painters of the 20th century, Lucian Freud (1922-2011). The exhibition features a selection of 30 of the artist’s finest paintings, and 20 works on paper. The works, mainly dating from 1970 onwards, explore several of the artist’s key themes such as Portraiture; Self Portraiture; Still-life; Animals and Nature; works that reflect his interest in the people and the natural world.

Admission is by timed entry, due to the delicate nature of the works and the limited circulation space of the historic building. To avoid disappointment please pre-book your preferred time-slot online in advance of visiting. Ticket time slots are scheduled for 5:15pm, 6pm, 6:45pm, and 7:15pm on 22 September.

Dick has gone on to develop an extraordinary body of work which has been shown in cinemas, film festivals and art galleries around the world.
