Works by Warhol, Dali and Bansky coming to Dublin

Works by famous artists such as Andy Warhol, Salvador Dali and Banksy will be coming to Dublin this October.

The recently developed Charlemont Square is set to host the exhibition across 20,000 sq ft, from October 6th until 29th.

The exhibition will feature the largest collection of Andy Warhol pieces to go on sale in Ireland with 25 original silkscreens – from his iconic soup cans to celebrated celebrity portraits such as his Mick Jagger piece which is signed by both Warhol and Jagger.

One of Warhol’s famed soup cans from 1968, Campbell’s Soup Cans I: Green Pea will also be on show at the exhibit.

The exhibition will also feature artworks by Damien Hirst, Salvador Dali, David Hockney and Julian Opie will also be on show, alongside leading Irish artists Patrick O’Reilly, Martin Mooney, Peter Monaghan, Maser and Gordon Harris.

Art buffs will also be able to take in Damien Hirst’s Ciclopirox Olamine, Keith Haring’s Pop Shop II and Salvador Dali’s Triumphant Elephant.

Gormley’s say the exhibition is their most ambitious indoor show to date.

“This is an amazing opportunity for Dubliners to see some of the world’s greatest artists in an incredible location,” said James Gormley of Gormleys.

“We are passionate about supporting Irish art, so we are proud to be showcasing some of the biggest names in international art alongside leading Irish artists.”

The exhibition will also feature a sculpture display with life-size works by renowned Irish sculptors Patrick O’Reilly, Ian Pollock, Eamonn Ceannt and John Fitzgerald.

The exhibition runs from Oct 6-29 and is open daily from 11am-7pm.

Entry to the exhibit is free and no advance booking is required, with more information available on www.gormleys.ie.
