Jorgensen Art Gallery Dublin
Ib Jorgensen, one of Ireland’s leading fashion designers established his Irish art gallery, Jorgensen Fine Art on the upper floor of his haute couture fashion salon on Molesworth Street, Dublin 2, in 1992. On closing his fashion salon, he expanded his gallery, exhibiting paintings and sculptures on both floors of this Georgian premises. Jorgensen Fine Art quickly established itself as one of Ireland’s leading art galleries, specializing in paintings and sculpture by contemporary Irish and European artists, alongside late 19th and early 20th century Irish, English & European paintings. The gallery held three major group exhibitions per year, and monthly solo exhibitions by contemporary artists from Ireland, England and continental Europe. Important Irish artists shown at the gallery included Walter Osborne, Sir John Lavery, Paul Henry, Grace Henry, Roderic O'Conor, Mary Swanzy, William Leech, Gerard Dillon, George Campell, Tony O'Malley, Camille Souter, and Charles Brady. Major European artists that were shown at the gallery included Carl Wilhelm Holsoe, Peter Ilsted, George Clausen, Joan Miro and Paul Signac.
Throughout the years, Jorgensen Fine Art moved premises a number of times, and in 2014, due to increasing rents in Dublin city centre, closed its city centre premises, to concentrate on art and antique fairs and private art sales. In 2016, the gallery, re-opened as the Jorgensen Gallery, a salon style gallery, in an elegant Georgian building on Molesworth Street, Dublin, the street, where it was first established. The Jorgensen Gallery now shows paintings and sculpture by contemporary Irish and European artists, in addition to a selection of paintings by well known Irish artists from the late 19th and early 20th century, such as Walter Osborne, Mildred Anne Butler, Norman Garstin, Sarah Purser, George Campbell, Tony O'Malley and William Scott.
Unique among Irish art galleries, the Jorgensen Gallery, in addition to showing paintings and sculpture, also sells a range of antique furniture, lamps, vases and bronze sculpture. We also take part in annual art and antiques fairs, such as the Irish Antique Dealer's Association Annual Fair at the Royal Dublin Society and the Vue Contemporary Art Fair at the Royal Hibernian Academy, Dublin.
In recognition of Ib Jorgensen's contribution to the world of Irish fashion, the National Museum of Ireland are currently staging a retrospective exhibition of Ib Jorgensen's fashion designs. To view this exhibition visit their website below:
