Kathy Prendergast
Captures the intricacy, symbolism, and irony of the work of contemporary Irish artist Kathy Prendergast.
Life Above Everything
Life above Everything is a major exhibition that brings together the work of two acknowledged masters, Lucian Freud and Jack B. Yeats. Exploring the affinities and interconnections between these two artists, this exhibition draws the work of these two stubbornly individual painters into dialogue, placing them side-by-side for the first time in 70 years. While Lucian Freud's work has been exhibited in the past in group exhibitions alongside other artists from the 'School of London', Life above Everything is one of the few exhibitions to date in which Freud has been shown with a single other artist. Freud's interest in Yeats is little discussed, but he had a lifelong interest in the Irish pain...
After the Party
FINE ARTS Catalog to a current show at the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin, with works drawn largely from the collections of the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, this book aims to look at the artist behind the public persona. In addition to more than 50 works that span Warhol's career, this short book reproduces an essay written shortly after the artist's death on the themes of death and disaster in Warhol's early work, an interview from 1963, and a brief biography of the artist. Though the book doesn't quite manage to bring about a 'sober' reevaluation of his body of work, it does offer a fine introduction to this modern master. Libraries with a range of Warholiana (e.g., David Bourdon's comprehensive Warhol, LJ 12/89) can probably skip it, but those looking for an affordable, basic introduction would do well with this retrospective.
Ireland's 1916 Rising
In light of its upcoming centenary in 2016, the time seems ripe to ask: why, how and in what ways has memory of Ireland’s 1916 Rising persisted over the decades? In pursuing answers to these questions, which are not only of historical concern, but of contemporary political and cultural importance, this book breaks new ground by offering a wide-ranging exploration of the making and remembrance of the story of 1916 in modern times. It draws together the interlocking dimensions of history-making, commemoration and heritage to reveal the Rising’s undeniable influence upon modern Ireland’s evolution, both instantaneous and long-term. In addition to furnishing a history of the tumultuous eve...

Brand New Ireland?
What role does the state have over national development within an increasingly globalized economy? Moreover, how do we conceive 'nationality' during periods of rapid economic and social change spurred on by globalization? By examining tourism in the Republic of Ireland over the past 20 years, Michael Clancy addresses these questions of national identity formation, as well as providing a detailed understanding of the political economy of tourism and development. He explores tourism's role in the 'Celtic Tiger' phenomenon and uses tourism as a lens for observing national identity formation in a period of rapid change.
