The Dictionary of Living Irish Artists features high-quality, full-colour images of work by 200 Irish artists alongside biographical details and information on exhibitions and awards. The artists included in the book are living and working today, mainly in Ireland (north and south) and some abroad. Earlier dictionaries of Irish artists (Strickland in 1913 and Snoddy in 1996 and 2002) only included artists who were dead at the time of publication and did not illustrate their work. Written by Robert O'Byrne, leading Irish arts commentator, The Dictionary of Living Irish Artists will be the essential reference work for contemporary Irish art. It will be a must-have for collectors, dealers and anyone with an interest in Irish art. It provides art collectors throughout the world with an attractive introduction to artists such as Sean Scully, Dorothy Cross and Patrick Hall. SELLING POINTS: Profiles 200 artists working in Ireland or abroad and showcases their work in high quality colour images. 300 colour illustrations
