Rosc '77: The poetry of Vision: An international exhibition of Modern Art

Rosc '77: The poetry of Vision: An international exhibition of Modern Art and Early Animal Art


The first Rosc exhibition took place in 1967 in the Royal Dublin Society (R.D.S.) and then ran approximately every four years until 1988. In the absence of a museum of modern art, the purpose of the Rosc exhibitions was to provide an opportunity to display international modern and contemporary art for an Irish audience and also to situate Ireland within an international art context.  The intention, set out in the first Rosc exhibition, was to show the work of the fifty ‘best’ living artists who were chosen by a jury of three international selectors


This is the catalogue of the third ROSC exhibition in Dublin. The works on display at the Municipal Gallery have a European scope and were created within the last five years. The National Museum features art dating back centuries.
