Episode 3 of a new series of podcasts produced by the National Gallery of Ireland in association with our exhibition New Perspectives. Acquisitions 2011-2020 (closing 2 August 2021).
This series looks at artwork by living artists recently acquired for the national collection. We explore the motivation behind the work, how it came to be in the Gallery, and what it means for an artist to have their work in the national collection.
In this episode, Donal Maguire, curator of the ESB Centre for the Study of Irish Art at the Gallery, speaks to the painter Richard Gorman about his life and work.
Gorman is a Milan-based painter whose work is part of collections nationally and internationally. He has exhibited all over the world, and cites frequent visits to Japan as influential on his work and use of materials. His 2005 woodblock print Big Red was acquired by the Gallery in 2020.

Piet Mondrian was enthralled by modernity and, across the span of his life, encountered it in some of the great cities of the world: Amsterdam, Paris, London and New York. The musical cultures of jazz and dance held particular resonance for him and so, as part of the National Gallery of Ireland's celebration of Mondrian’s work, we invited Emilie Conway, a contemporary jazz artist, to engage with this important aspect of his life and career.
