Yoko Ono and the Edge to launch Amnesty hit
Compiled by Liz Aders
It's turning into one of the art sales / art events of the year, creating a big buzz, and helping a great cause. Works from In the time of shaking are already on sale, and already selling well, for stiff prices. Proceeds (after costs) go to Amnesty. To see what's on offer, visit the exhibition's website:http://www.artforamnesty.org/shaking
And it seems that the Irish Museum of Modern Art is getting a real taste for celebrity openings. IMMA drew a great crowd when Bono launched the Francesco Clemente show there recently (more here: http://www.recirca.com/artnews/230.shtml, and a CIRCA review of the show here: http://www.recirca.com/reviews/clemente/index.shtml). Celebrity-spotters get ready again - on Thursday 6 May Yoko Ono and Edge will attend the Irish Museum of Modern Art and officially open the Amnesty show. Ono was one of the artists who contributed an artwork to the one-hundredth edition of CIRCA.
In the time of shaking is an exhibition of contemporary new Irish art. The exhibition comprises a sale, exhibition and limited-edition book. The new works by more than 100 of Ireland's most important contempoary artists include Louis le Brocquy, Patrick Scott, Camille Souter, Sean Scully, Tony O'Malley, Barrie Cooke, Patrick Ireland, Patrick O'Reilly, Anne Madden, Mark Francis, Jane O'Malley, Basil Blackshaw, Hughie O'Donoghue, Alice Maher, Carey Clarke, Guggi, Dorothy Cross, Michael Kane, Grace Weir, Felim Egan, Vivienne Roche, Maud Cotter, Cecily Brennan and Clare Langan.
The exhibition is the brainchild of Professor Ciar?n Benson of University College Dublin, and the 'Artists for Amnesty International 2004' Committee. Says Benson:
I asked the artists for something preferably recent, something which they judge to be their best. A few works have been painted especially for this sale. It's difficult to say how much will be made, but the first of these art sales in 1982 raised sufficient money to buy Amnesty Ireland its premises."
The art is being sold on a first-come, first-served basis. There's still plenty available if you have between 1,000 to 175,000 euro to spare! IMMA will also host a book-signing on the 9 May from 1 - 4pm where over fifty of the exhibiting artists will be around to sign a copy for members of the public. A limited edition of 3,000 is available for purchase through Art for Amnesty for 45 euro. Again, visit the exhibition website for more.
Thanks to Kate!
