The council hopes to locate the new tourist attraction in the former premises of the Dublin Writers’ Museum on Parnell Square that also houses the Michelin two-star restaurant Chapter One.
between the owners of the building and the operator of the café with the High Court ruling in January that the four Four Orders works were an inherent part of the building, while the two Swan Yard works were the property of the tenant.
The council said it had also contacted private owners of Clarke’s stained glass windows who had indicated they were well disposed to loaning windows to the new museum, while the artist’s descendants are also supportive of the project. The council’s assistant arts officer, Margarita Cappock, said Clarke’s pioneering techniques and brilliant execution of stained glass panels had earned him a global reputation.
“His skill and unique vision is unsurpassed and his art is instantly recognisable because of its outstanding originality,” said Ms Cappock.The council also highlighted how Clarke had a strong association with Dublin’s north inner city area as his father, Joshua, had established stained glass studios in North Frederick Street which remained in operation until 1973, while as a young student he attended local schools including Marlborough Street Model School and Belvedere College.
The proposed museum will be discussed at a meeting of the council’s arts, culture, leisure and recreation committee next week.
