Jorgensen Art Gallery Dublin
Ib Jorgensen, one of Ireland’s leading haute couture fashion designers, established his Irish art gallery, Jorgensen Fine Art on the upper floor of his fashion salon on Molesworth Street in Dublin, in 1992. On closing down his fashion salon, he expanded his art gallery, exhibiting paintings and sculptures on both floors of this elegant Dublin city centre Georgian premises. Jorgensen Fine Art quickly established itself as one of Ireland’s leading fine art galleries, specializing in exhibitions of paintings and sculpture by contemporary Irish, English and European artists, and exhibitions of late 19th and early 20th century art from some of the major Irish, English and European artists of that period. 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, William Scott, Camille Souter, and Charles Brady. Major continental European artists that were exhibited at the gallery included artists such as Carl Wilhelm Holsoe, Peter Ilsted, George Clausen, Joan Miro and Paul Signac.
Over the years, Jorgensen Fine Art moved premises a number of times, and in 2014, due to rapidly increasing rents in Dublin city centre, Ib Jorgensen decided to close the gallery's city centre premises, to concentrate on private art sales and on art and antique fairs in Dublin. However, in Summer 2016, he re-opened as the Jorgensen Gallery, a salon style art gallery, once again, in an elegant Georgian building on Molesworth Street, Dublin, the same street, where the gallery was first established.
At the Jorgensen Gallery we now exhibit a wide variety of paintings by a selection of contemporary Irish and European artists, including Alexey Krasnovsky, Allan Madsen, Clement McAleer, Martin Mooney, Dale Pring MacSweeney and Maria Levinge. We also have a very extensive range of contemporary bronze sculpture at the gallery by artists such as Vadim Tuzov, Catherine Greene, Kevin Gaines, Fiona Smith, Donnacha Treacy, Anna Campbell and Peter Killeen.
