In September 2005 Ireland will be hosting two major exhibitions of prints from Sweden. The Graphic Studio Gallery and the National Gallery of Ireland will come together to celebrate the stunning art of Sweden. The idea grew from a proposal first initiated by James McCreary, artist and recently appointed member of Áosdana. The National Gallery of Ireland were invited to show an exhibition of prints from 1880-1960 from The Royal Print Collection, belonging to His Majesty King Carl XVI Gustaf and the Swedish Fine Print Society. Lars Nyberg, Swedish artist, is coordinating and hanging the contemporary show in the unique Swedish way – unframed and suspended on pins.
