DescriptionDuring one of his regular visits to his hometown, Athy, County Kildare, Minihan photographed a funeral hearse at the rear of a building that was home to Bapty Maher’s pub and offices for Malone and Company funeral directors, auctioneers and estate agents. This work has a subtle resonance with his images of the wake and funeral of Athy local, Katy Tyrell.Inscriptiontitle, date, © John Minihan
