The mystery of Eileen Gray's ashes
Notes de l’épisode
One of Ireland's most famous Architects and Furniture Designers was Eileen Gray, whose 50th anniversary of her death is this year. Her ashes were interred in the famous Pere Lachaise in Paris, but were recently discovered to be missing from their niche. There is now a mystery as to what happened to them…
Seán’s guest recently travelled to Paris to visit the niche and bring a relic from her homeplace in Wexford to put in it as a memento in place of her ashes. Frank McNally from The Irish Times joins to discuss.
