Cover Versions is an exhibition of artworks from 50+ years of The Gallery Press which takes place in the Royal Hibernian Academy of Arts, Dublin from 18 November 2022 – 29 January 2023.
Admired almost as much for the elegance of their appearance as for the excellence of their contents books from The Gallery Press have set standards in Irish publishing for more than fifty years.
This exciting and instructive exhibition includes paintings, photographs, prints and sculpture by Ireland’s leading contemporary artists that have been on or in (or just beyond) Gallery Press publications for more than half a century. Also featured are a number of American artists, some showing their work for the first time in Europe. Much of the work included in Cover Versions has never been seen in public before.
The catalogue for the exhibition is available to purchase from the RHA or from our online shop.
The Gallery Press presents, in association with Poetry Ireland, a series of live events in the RHA.
