Kerlin Gallery was founded in Dublin in 1988. It has built an international reputation for its dedicated, meaningful representation of leading contemporary artists through its exhibition, publishing and art fair programmes. Its current site was designed by the minimalist architect John Pawson in 1994 and offers 3,600 square feet of exhibition space over two floors in the heart of Dublin City Centre.

For over 35 years, Kerlin Gallery’s program has reflected key developments in contemporary art, presenting major solo exhibitions by artists such as Dorothy Cross, Willie Doherty, Liam Gillick, Siobhán Hapaska, Callum Innes, Merlin James, Albert Oehlen, Nathalie Du Pasquier, Sean Scully, Hiroshi Sugimoto, and Lawrence Weiner, among others. In recent years, it has introduced a new generation of artists working across diverse media, including Samuel Laurence Cunnane, Aleana Egan, Andy Fitz, Justin Fitzpatrick, Sam Keogh, Ailbhe Ní Bhriain, and Marcel Vidal.

Kerlin Gallery also publishes artist catalogues and monographs, both independently and in collaboration with publishers and public institutions. Recent publications include Liliane Tomasko, Twofold (2024), Zhou Li (2024), William McKeown (2023), Merlin James (2023), Dorothy Cross, Crossing (2022), Mark Francis (2021), Isabel Nolan (2020), and Brian Maguire (2018).
