Seamus Murphy, artist, stone-carver and letterer, was highly regarded in his lifetime. In 2007, the centenary year of Murphy´s birth, the Crawford Art Gallery, in collaboration with Cork City Council and the Murphy family, co-organised the ‘Remembering Seamus Murphy´ programme that will allow a new younger audience to rediscover the work of this unique artist.

Crawford Gallery is publishing a book celebrating the life and work of this extraordinary artist, with essays by Peter Murray, Orla Murphy and Ann Wilson.
