Dunne, 73, who runs a chain of six gyms in Dublin, Meath and Laois, said: “We are at a stage where we are downsizing and we haven’t got the space to display the full collection, so we are happy to bring part of it to exhibition and sale.” Art expert Mark Adams said: “A great collection is more than a group of pictures – it is a work of art in its own right in which the works of art that form it, and the conversation between them, become more than the sum of their parts.“In using their own brilliant eye for a painting and seeking out the advice of the late Alan Hobart, Ben and Mary Dunne have formed a collection which captures Ireland in all its infinite facets.
In Sketch For Pro-Cathedral, Dublin 1922, Belfast-born Lavery captured the view he had of Collins’s memorial service from his vantage point in the organ balcony at the Pro-Cathedral.
