Edward Delaney’s ‘Celtic Twilight’ sculpture moves to Belfield

'Celtic Twilight,' a six-metre high steel rod and tubular stainless steel sculpture created by renowned Irish artist Edward Delaney in 1974, has been donated to University College Dublin by developer David Arnold in memory of his father.

The sculpture unveiled on 05 Sept 2007, which was originally located in the American Airlines Building on Baggot St, Dublin, will be on permanent display in the courtyard of the UCD Conway Institute.

“We are honoured that University College Dublin has become the home of this impressive piece of sculpture by Eamon Delaney, one of Ireland’s most accomplished artists,” said Eamonn Ceannt, UCD Vice-President for Capital and Commercial Development.

“And we are extremely grateful to David Arnold for donating the piece which gives this courtyard at the UCD Conway Institute a dramatic new focus for all those who come to enjoy its open space.”
