Contemporary Icons: Gormleys Dublin
Gomleys is proud to present “Contemporary Icons,” a group exhibition bringing together masterpieces by some of the world’s most influential contemporary artists.
Running in our Dublin Gallery from 15 January to 2 February, the exhibition showcases more than 40 artworks, offering Irish audiences a rare chance to experience artworks by globally celebrated contemporary artists.
The exhibition is open from 10 am – 5:30 pm, Monday to Saturday and is free to visit.
Featured are works by Andy Warhol, Banksy, Tracey Emin, Bridget Riley, Damien Hirst, Keith Haring, Julian Opie, Salvador Dalí, Joan Miró, Francis Bacon, David Hockney, and Robert Indiana, a grouping seldom seen together in Ireland.
Held across two gallery floors, visitors will encounter powerful examples of Banksy’s satirical street-inspired screen-prints, Bridget Riley’s hypnotic geometric abstractions and Tracey Emin’s emotionally charged pieces.
The exhibition also showcases the vibrant creative innovations of modern masters such as Dalí and Miró, alongside the raw psychological intensity of Francis Bacon, whose work continues to command global acclaim for its visceral exploration of the human condition.
All artists featured in the exhibition have demonstrated long-term investment strength. Blue-chip contemporary artists such as Warhol, Hockney, and Hirst continue to dominate global auction results, with consistent demand from both seasoned collectors and new investors.
Original screenprints and editions, particularly those by Banksy, Riley, and Opie, have seen a surge in interest recently, with segments of the print market growing by double digits in the past five years.* Thus, the exhibition offers both seasoned and new collectors the opportunity to see and invest in works by some of the world’s most collectable artists.
The exhibition is open in our Dublin Gallery at 27 South Frederick Street, Dublin 2, from 10 am – 5:30 pm, Monday to Saturday and is free to visit. No advance booking is required.
