James Joseph Power (4 May 1918 in Phibsborough, Dublin – 13 April 2009 in Dublin) was an Irish sculptor, who like his sister May Power (1903-1993) learnt from his father Albert Power (1881-1945).[1] He is known for sculpting (in 1956) the 1916 memorial on Sarsfield Bridge in Limerick. Like his father, he was often called upon to do death masks, and did so for Brendan Behan in 1964.[2]
The entire family (including several brothers) worked in their celebrated sculpture yard on Berkeley Road, in Phibsborough.[3]
