To
Have and Have Not

When
contemporary art is in the news, it is often to do with money and
the market. Maybe a work has sold for a record-breaking price, been
bought by someone famous, or else the news is of sales in the
ascendant or in decline. But not all art is for sale, and there are
fascinating reasons why artists hold onto their work, or else give
it away. Inviting some of Ireland's most successful artists,
including Brian O'Doherty, Martin Gale, Nick Miller, Alice Maher,
Eithne Jordan, Diana Copperwhite, Donald Teskey and Stephen
McKenna, To Have and Have Not shows some works for sale, and some
that never ever will be
