On view through 1 July, 2007
This exhibition, in IMMA's courtyard, presents a selection of sculptural works by the renowned Spanish painter and sculptor Joan Miró and the distinguished American sculptor Alexander Calder. The decision to show their work side by side is based on the artists' close working relationship, which began in the 1920s and continued right up to the time of Calder's death in 1976. Each artist's work fed off the other's practice in a highly creative way. There is also an Irish connection, as both artists also enjoyed a close friendship with the distinguished Irish-American museum director James Johnson Sweeney.
The exhibition is accompanied by a fully-illustrated catalogue with texts by Emilio Fernandez Miró, grandson of Joan Miró and administrator of the Miró Estate, and Dr Elizabeth Hutton Turner, Senior Curator of the Phillips Collection in Washington and an expert on early 20th-century art. It will include views of the works installed at IMMA.
