Hennessy and IMMA are delighted to announce the names of the four contemporary artists whose works have been purchased by the Hennessy Art Fund for IMMA Collection 2018; Barbara Knezevic, Susan MacWilliam, Mary McIntyre and Helen O’Leary.
Each of the artists selected have well-established practices, making work of quality and rigor which has received considerable critical acknowledgment and are not yet represented in the IMMA National Collection of Modern and Contemporary Art. From thought-provoking sculptures to a haunting video to a photographic installation, each of the chosen works engages with contemporary culture, reflecting the artist’s looking at and thinking about life today.
