Sacred trust: Donations and their Legacy is a stunning new exhibition which celebrates the Hugh Lane Gallery's Legacy of Donations, featuring significant gifts from 1908 to 2024.
All of the recent donations in this exhibition represent the collective support of a new generation of patrons, further enriching the Hugh Lane Gallery’s collection of modern and contemporary art. Exhibited alongside some of the most significant donations from the founding collection including Impressionist paintings, these contemporary artworks set up a stimulating dialogue with their peers from an earlier age.
Barbara Dawson, Director of Hugh Lane Gallery said “Since its foundation in 1908, Hugh Lane Gallery has been fortunate in receiving significant donations that add to the wealth and depth of this national collection of modern and contemporary art. In Sacred trust: Donations and their Legacy, we celebrate that legacy with a new generation of supporters whose gifts align with our strategic vision in the 21st century. These artworks will be conserved and enjoyed for generations to come”
