Noteworthy works of art on the Banks

Roderic O’Conor Red Rocks Near Pont Aven 1898 from the AIB Collection, now in the legal ownership of the State and on show at the Crawford Gallery in Cork.

THE exciting, not-to-be-missed show now on at the Crawford Gallery in Cork represents a significant coup for the southern capital.

Gifted to the State and donated to the Crawford, the AIB Collection was built up in the way any corporate collection properly needs to be — with professional advice. The best Irish art is under appreciated in this country. AIB, to their credit, set out to collect it properly and succeeded in building up a collection of immense value.
