Samuel Beckett's official photographer, John Minihan, was due to launch a collection of iconic Beckett photographs at the Irish Arts Center in New York last night, writes Sean O'Driscoll
Minihan, from Athy, Co Kildare, shot some of the most famous photographs of Beckett in Paris and London in the 1980s. Mr Minihan flew into New York for the exhibition and said that he was delighted to honor one of the great writers of the 20th century. Actors Liam Neeson and Gabriel Byrne are to view the exhibition later in the week.
