Gerda Frömel: A Retrospective
From 9 April 2015 to 5 July 2015, IMMA (the Irish Museum of Modern Art) presented the first contemporary retrospective of Gerda Frömel. This exhibition focused a renewed light on Frömel’s work and reinstate her place in Irish art history as a modern Irish master.
‘An outstanding exhibition‘ – Aidan Dunne, The Irish Times
Frömel was a Czech-born artist who established her career in Ireland in the 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s. She was incredibly well regarded during her lifetime, maintaining a long association with the Irish Exhibition of Living Art and securing prestigious solo and group exhibitions at the Dawson Gallery, before her untimely death in 1975 at the age forty-four. Frömel took several large scale commissions including the well-known work Sails for P.J. Carroll and Son, Dundalk, (now Dundalk Institute of Technology).
