MAN OUTSIDE BAPTY MAHER'S FAMOUS PUB, ATHY, COUNTY KILDARE, 1970 John Minihan (b.1946)
Signature: signed in the margin lower right; signed, titled and dated again on reverse; with artist's copyright stamps also on reverse Medium: original hand-printed silver gelatin print Dimensions: 34 by 51cm., 13.5 by 20in. Another view of Maher's Bar, Leinster Street [1979] is illustrated in Minihan's book on Athy, Shadows from the Pale, Portrait of an Irish Town, p.79. John Minihan was born in Dublin and raised in Athy... y, County Kildare and later in London. For thirty years the artist remained in London, returning every year to his hometown of Athy to photograph its people and their daily lives. This intimate body of work is a testament to the artist’s bond with and admiration for the town and is a tribute to its people more than a historical documentation of their evolution. Influenced by the American photographer Edward S. Curtis, who had recorded the decline of the American Indians, Athy became Minihan’s own fertile hunting ground in his effort to capture and preserve the memories and traditions of a community. The Guinness Hopstore, Dublin hosted an exhibition of this series entitled, ‘The Last Wake: The Town and People of Athy 1961-1991’ in which some of these works featured more
