A showcase of contemporary artists’ works valued at €3m will open at Gormleys Gallery in Dublin from 15 January to 2 February. The Contemporary Icons exhibition includes pieces 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. Over 40 artworks offer access to global figures.
Ten works by Warhol headline, including Mick Jagger 1975 at €139,500 signed by both, and Orangutan 1983 at €220,000 from the Endangered Species series. Banksy’s satirical prints, Riley’s abstractions, and Emin’s charged pieces appear across two floors. Dalí and Miró’s innovations join Bacon’s intensity and others’ contributions.
All artists show investment strength, with Warhol, Hockney, and Hirst leading auctions. Prints by Banksy, Riley, and Opie have grown in demand. The free exhibition provides opportunities for collectors in a strong market.
James Gormley shared “Bringing together this calibre of international names under one roof is exceptionally rare in Ireland.”
“Contemporary Icons gives visitors the chance to engage with works that have shaped the visual culture of the last century, and with artists who remain at the forefront of contemporary art today.”
“Prints also offer a more accessible price point for both seasoned and new collectors who want to start investing in art, and all of the artists exhibiting are established blue-chip artists.”
