OPW acquires artworks from Olivier Cornet Gallery
Work by Mary A. Fitzgerald, Eoin Mac Lochlainn and Daniel Lipstein joins OPW State Art Collection
The Olivier Cornet Gallery is delighted to announce that the OPW acquired 3 works from our gallery during Dublin Gallery Weekend 2025.
It is always a privilege for us at the OCG to see work that we promote join a prestigious National Collection such as the OPW State Art Collection. The 3 works in question are:
- The Fancy by Mary A. Fitzgerald, a beautiful abstract painting in homage to Yeats' painting ‘About to Write a letter’, 1935, oil on canvas, 61x91cm, collection of the National Gallery of Ireland, Dublin. Mary's work was part of our group show
Ode to Giants, an exhibition which we launched on the 7th of November 2025 as part of Dublin Gallery Weekend 2025.
- Spirit Walking Towards Light by
Daniel Lipstein,
a dreamy work which was part of the artist's solo show
Self Portrait with a Pet and a Bathtub which we had the pleasure of hosting at the gallery in October last year.
- An ghaoth aniar / This too will pass X by Eoin Mac Lochlainn, a sumptuous watercolour from the artist's solo show An ghaoth aniar / This too will pass which was opened by Catherine Connolly TD (and now President of Ireland) at our gallery in September last year.
Congratulations to all three artists.
