Kingerlee - Exhibition and Book Launch : 13th Feb 2006

"Kingerlee’s pictures may be modest in scale, but not in intention. One has to revert to Rothko to find a precedent for drawing a line so emphatically in the artistic sand." Author Jonathan Benington

A two week exhibition (13th February – 24th February 2006) and book on renowned artist John Kingerlee, was launched this evening by New York Art Critic Bill Zimmer at the Leinster Gallery, Dublin, followed by a dinner in the Mansion House hosted by The Ireland Funds.

The last few years have witnessed a renaissance of Kingerlee as his work has been recognised in exhibitions and auctions across the world. Now one of the most collectable artists in Europe and America, he is at last able to put behind him the long years of hardship and struggle, as depicted in the stunning book written by Jonathan Benington, published to coincide with the artist’s 70th birthday.

In 2007 and 2008, Bill Zimmer will curate a series of exhibitions of Kingerlee’s work, in a ten museum tour of America.
