Established in 1988, Kerlin Gallery continues today to provide the artists it represents with multiple platforms to promote and present their work locally, nationally and internationally; by supporting the visual arts ecology and infrastructure in the city of Dublin, from grassroots education to major institutions, the gallery invests in the present and the future. In 2018, Kerlin Gallery donated a major body of over 60 works by national and international artists, collected over thirty years, to the Irish Museum of Modern Art. Kerlin Gallery’s programme continues to be varied and truly international both in the gallery and abroad via five art fairs, incorporating younger generation, mid-career and long-established artists. In recent years, many of Kerlin Gallery’s artists have participated in Documenta, the Venice Biennale, and the Turner Prize, including Dorothy Cross, Gerard Byrne, Willie Doherty, Liam Gillick, Siobhán Hapaska, Callum Innes, Merlin James, Isabel Nolan, Kathy Prendergast and Sean Scully, amongst others. Recent Kerlin Gallery publications include Sean Scully, in association with De Pont Museum, Tilburg; a Brian Maguire monograph in association with Fergus McCaffrey Gallery, New York; Callum Innes, in association with Château La Coste, Aix-en-Provence and Merlin James, in association with Sikkema Jenkins & Co, New York.
