Christy Brown was brilliantly played by Daniel
Day-Lewis in the Oscar-winning film My Left
Foot. But the complexities of his life, together
with his struggle to be understood - and taken
seriously - have only recently come to light.
Those complexities were explored in a superb
exhibition at the Little Museum of Dublin in 2015.
The exhibition later travelled to New York where
it went on view at the American Irish Historical
Society on 5th Avenue from 11 to 24 November.
Estimate €1000-€1500 (approx £870-£1305)
