Highlights from the Graeve Collection features a selection of work from the Graeve Art Collection which is on long-term loan to The Model, home of The Niland Collection, Sligo.

This collection was put together by collector and curator Jobst Graeve over the course of the last 40 years, and has a particular focus on the turbulent socio-political situation in Ireland and Northern Ireland throughout the 1980s.

The collection features works on paper, paintings, sculpture, photography and installation by some of the finest Irish artists of their generation such as Barrie Cooke, Dorothy Cross, Rita Duffy, Michael Farrell, Marie Foley, Claire Langan, Alice Maher, Alfonso Monreal, Jack Pakenham, Tony O’Malley, Patrick Scott, Martin Wedge.

Jobst Graeve began collecting art in his native Germany before moving to Ireland in the mid-1980's and beginning his collection of Irish art. He has curated many exhibitions and projects with artist in a long and varied career, and was curator of the award-winning exhibition, "In State" at Kilmainham Jail in 1991.
