The Irish Museum of Modern Art is running some pretty interesting exhibitions at the moment. I'm looking forward to attending the Lucien Freud exhibition this Friday. The exhibition has been running since the beginning of June and concludes on the 2nd of September, so it's my last chance really to have a look.
According to the IMMA website this exhibition: "comprises some 50 paintings and 20 works on paper and etchings from the last six decades, several being completed just months prior to the exhibition and others never shown before in a public venue. Best known for his portraits and nudes, Freud’s subjects include his family, friends, lovers and fellow artists."
I'm not a huge fan of Freud, but it's hard to pass up an opportunity to visit the solo exhibition of such a highly regarded 'living legend'.
While I'm there I will also be sure to check out the exhibition of Anne Madden, whose work I really do admire, in fact, I prefer her work to her husband's Louis Le Brocquy. Anne's exhibition comprises 60 works, spanning the 1950s to the present and includes some of her best known works such as the series Clare Land (1967), Megaliths, Monoliths and Doorways (1970s), as well as some of Anne's early pieces of sculpture.
More information on these exhibitions, as well as future exhibitions are available from the IMMA website.
