The Directors of Adams would like to thank all the private lenders without whose generosity
shows like this one cannot take place. We would like to thank Claire Dalton for writing the
extensive essay and giving her insights on the period of review. As in past years we have had
tremendous support and enthusiasm from the artist’s families for which we are very grateful.

Griffin, Dr Eileen Black, Brian Fallon, Dr John O’Grady, Julian Campbell , Christina
