Available for the first time in paperback, Robert O'Byrne's landmark biography of Hugh Lane remains the essential work on this enigmatic art dealer and patron. From his birth in Cork in 1875, to London, South Africa and Dublin, Hugh Lane is primarily remembered for establishing Dublin's Municipal Gallery of Modern Art, the first known public gallery of modern art in the world.
