Gormleys has refurbished two gardens and the backside of its gallery to create an oasis of sculpture.
The idea is a series of major Irish and international art that has attracted record crowds at the Lasborough House and the Caroden Hotel in Belfast over the past few years to see large-scale works by artists such as Dali. Inspired by the in-the-garden sculpture exhibition.
Gallery Manager James Gormley said:
“But so far, there hasn’t been a permanent home in Dublin large enough to display a large outdoor sculpture.
“We want to be a permanent stop on Dublin’s tourist trails, where people can experience the best Irish and international artists in one place.”
