Comments :

The Irish Museum of Modern Art was established by the Government of Ireland in 1990 as Ireland’s first national institution for the presentation and collection of modern and contemporary art. Since its official opening in May 1991, the Museum has rapidly established itself as a significant and dynamic presence in the Irish and international arts arena. It is widely admired by its peers throughout the world for the range and relevance of its exhibitions, for its innovative use of its growing Collection, for its award-winning education and community programme and for its visitor-centred ethos and facilities. Exhibitions The Museum’s temporary exhibition programme regularly juxtaposes the work of leading, well-established figures with that of younger-generation artists to create a debate about the nature and function of art and its connection with the future. In 2003, for example, we presented exhibitions by the Spanish sculptor Cristina Iglesias, the African-American film and photographic artist Lorna Simpson and a previously unknown Outsider Irish artist John the Painter and two shows, commissioned by the Imperial War Museum, based on the recent history of Afghanistan. IMMA originates many of its exhibitions but also works closely with a network of international galleries and museums. In 2004, for example, we will be collaborating with institutions in Rome, Paris, Madrid, Reykjavik, New York, Gent, Minneapolis, Newcastle and Santiago de Compostela. Collection The Collection of the Irish Museum of Modern Art, which comprises some 4,500 works, has been developed since 1990 through purchase, donations and long-term loans, as well as by the commissioning of new works. The Museum purchases contemporary art but accepts donations and loans of more historical art objects with a particular emphasis on work from the 1940s onwards. The permanent collection reflects some of the most exciting trends in Irish and international art with lens-based work by Gilbert and George, Marina Abramović, Willie Doherty and Paul Seawright, installations by llya and Ameila Kabakov, Rebecca Horn and sculpture by Dorothy Cross, Kathy Prendergast, Juan Munoz, Damien Hirst and Stephan Balkenhol; also paintings by Francesco Clemente, Tony O’Malley, Peter Doig, and Peter Halley. Major donations include a wide variety of modern and contemporary art, including a number of 1930s works by Picasso, paintings by Sean Scully, a large sculpture by Barry Flanagan and a film by Neil Jordan. Loans to the Collection include an important body of work by Outsider, or self-taught, artists in the Musgrave Kinley Outsider Collection.
