Michael Scott (1905 - 1989), described as 'just one of a small band of young Irish architects who adopted the International Style during the 1930s', he came to be perceived as the leading pioneer and exponent of modern architecture in Ireland. Internationally he was by far the best-known Irish architect of the post-Second World War era. As a fixture of the artistic establishment in Ireland he founded ROSC, whose first exhibition of international modern art took place at the RDS in Dublin in 1967. As Chairman of the Board he called upon the curatorial expertise and connoisseurship of Irish-American James Johnson Sweeney, who became a life-long friend, to assist with the selection of the exhibits. Sweeney's and other jurors' input and international reputations insured that the exhibitions, which continued every four years until 1988, contained work by many of the leading artists of the day including Mark Rothko, Cy Twombly, Jim Dine, Brigid Riley, Pablo Picasso and Roy Lichtenstein.

We are delighted to have works included in this sale by Bridget Riley (lot 28), Patrick Scott (lot 38), Mary Fitzgerald (lot 64), Jim Dine (lot 93) and Terry Frost (lot 110) from Michael Scott's collection.
