New Acquisition Seamus Harahan — Holylands
Wolverhampton Art Gallery will be showing Holylands, the new acquisition made with the Contemporary Art Society.
The Museum’s strong holdings of works by artists based in, or working with issues concerning Northern Ireland is outstanding. Holylands is perhaps Harahan’s best known work to date making this acquisition into the collection of particular importance.
The work is regarded as a crucial view, not just for the artist but for the collective vision of a renewing city. Belfast is clearly changing through investment and commercial development, even though the scars of ‘The Troubles’ are inevitably apparent.
