The current show in the Print Gallery of the @NGIreland - Silent City - which is terrifically curated by @daramcelligott is well worth a visit. I had wanted to see these wonderful photographs by Evelyn Hofer for a long time. #NationalGalleryIRL

@DunleavyBernard @NGIreland Thanks Bernard! Glad you enjoyed it. The Hofer photographs are a favourite of mine as well.
