"SIAR 50" EXHIBITION
November 2005 - February 2006

50 Years of Contemporary Irish Art

In November 2005, The Contemporary Irish Art Society joined forces with the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA) to present an important exhibition of artworks, celebrating the development of Irish contemporary art over the past 50 years.

The exhibition comprised approximately 100 works, selected from the society’s purchases, and the private collections of our members. The exhibition provided a unique opportunity to see some of the very best of Irish art including works by leading Irish artists such as Louis le Brocquy, Robert Ballagh, Brian Bourke, Patrick Collins, Barrie Cooke, Pat Scott, Tony O’Malley, Michael Farrell and many others.
