John O’Donoghue T.D., Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism, today (10th November, 2004) announced that he had approved the use of the Heritage Fund by the Irish Museum of Modern Art to acquire the three most important film art works, produced in the 1990s, by the celebrated Irish artist James Coleman. The works: Background (1991-94), Lapsus Exposure (1992-94), and INITIALS (1993-4), comprise a trilogy.
These works have formed the basis of James Coleman’s international reputation and have been shown to enormous critical acclaim in many leading museums in France, USA, Britain, Germany, Spain, Holland, Belgium, Italy, Austria and Switzerland. Each of the three works lasts just over twenty minutes. There is only one complete set of the trilogy available and the Minister agrees that their purchase is fully compatible with the aims and objectives of the Heritage Fund.
