University College Cork has established a reputation
as a major patron of contemporary art in Ireland. The University
Art Collection concentrates on contemporary Irish art and now features
many of Irelands most distinguished practitioners. In addition
to collecting significant works, UCC aims to support emerging artists
in the region through the acquisition of new works for the collection
and it sponsors an annual purchase prize at the Crawford College
of Art degree show.
UCC has received a number of generous donations
to its art collection. These artworks increase the value of the
Modern Art Collection not only in financial terms, but also as a
teaching and research resource for current and future scholars.
The majority of artworks acquired and donated up until 1998 are
documented in the Modern Art Collection catalogue. This publication
is for sale in the Glucksman shop.
