David Kronn Photography Donation

This book celebrates the fourth donation to the IMMA Collection from Irish-born, US-based collector David Kronn. The donation includes a diverse selection of works, ranging from 19th Century to the present day, by modernist and contemporary photographers.

Themes that emerge throughout the collection include abstracted landscapes or seascapes; portraits of artists, such as August Sander’s image of Heinrich Hoerle at work in 1931; the portrait of Louise Bourgeois by Annie Leibovitz from 1997; and numerous iconic works, like Herb Ritts’s image of pop star Madonna from 1986. Irish artists showing as part of this exhibition included Alice Maher, Richard Mosse, and Amelia Stein and international photographers such as Harry Callahan, who made work in Ireland in the 1970s.
