Bronze, 43cm high (including base) (17")

Formerly on loan to OPW, Farmleigh House, Phoenix Park, Dublin, for twenty years.
The portrait of James Joyce featured here demonstrates Kings prolonged interest in the work of the author. This was first manifest in an exhibition that took place in Dublins Project Arts Centre in 1981 entitled Riverrun, the title of which was taken from the first line of Joyces Finnegans Wake. The following year, King produced a wall-based work into which he incorporated soil taken from Joyces grave in Zürich.
