    GORRY GALLERY AT TIMELESS – THE IRISH ANTIQUE DEALERS FAIR

    Saturday, September 24th, 2022

    A pair of gouaches from Samuel Dixons mid 18th century “Foreign and Domestick Birds” are among the works being exhibited by the Gorry Gallery at Timeless, the Irish Antique Dealers Fair which continues today and tomorrow at the RDS.  This is Gorry’s first time exhibiting at the fair, which is designed to appeal to a broad audience.  There will be specialist interest too in a c1785 demi lune side table by renowned Dublin maker William Moore.  Contemporary pieces include an original Brionvega RR126 record player and speaker similar to a set in the collection of the late David Bowie. To be displayed by Acquired it will stand alongside mid century pieces like a Camelonda sofa by Mario Bellini.  Gallery Zozimus, which has opened at a new location at Francis St. in Dublin, is at the fair too.

    Andy Warhol – Grace Kelly,

    A portrait of Grace Kelly by Andy Warhol will be offered by Gormley’s at Timeless, the Irish Antique Dealers’ Fair at the RDS in Dublin from September 23-25 with a preview on September 22. Warhol’s portrait of the actress is based on a still from her first film, Fourteen Hours, in 1951. Gormley’s has priced the screenprint at €200,000. The artist completed the edition in 1984 two years after the actress’s death, aged 52. 

    “Grace Kelly is extremely popular with collectors and investors as there are very few on sale at any one time,” Oliver Gormley said. “We sold one in 2019 for €136,000 and we expect this to sell for around €200,000 at Timeless, which reflects the appreciation in value for Warhol and high-end contemporary art”.
