John Kelly returns to RTÉ One this May with five new episodes of The Works Presents, where a quintet of our most inspired and inspirational creative people talk with John on how encounters with art transformed their lives – and in turn became their lives.
In the latest episode of the new series, John talks to Kilkenny-based visual artist Vera Klute.
From a small village near Dortmund in central Germany, Vera Klute works in many disciplines including sculpture and painting – both portraits and landscapes - and her work is held in many private and public collections - notably the National Gallery of Ireland and the National Self-Portrait Collection.
Her public work is very well known – her first public commission was the Luke Kelly stone sculpture situated in the heart of Dublin. Her most recent public work, now in the Long Room in Trinity College, commemorates the chemist and x-ray crystallographer Rosalind Franklin.
The Works Presents, Thursdays at 11.15 pm - watch some classics from The Works Presents archives here.
