SALE OF WORK
Sale of Work
Launch Party for House of Kunst
Kunstverein Aughrim
6–8pm, Thursday 20 November 2025
We’re revamping Kunstverein Editions to create House of Kunst – a new selling platform for artist editions, original artworks, prototypes, studio leftovers, research byproducts, not-quite-artworks, publications, experiments, merch and more.
Inspired by Forerunner’s practical desire to find homes not only for their commissioned work but also for ‘the rest’ of what gets produced in the course of an artistic studio practice, we’re thrilled to introduce House of Kunst as a platform for acquisitions of all kinds.
To begin with we’ll be offering artworks (etc) by some of the artists with whom Kunstverein Aughrim has collaborated to date. These include: Forerunner, Isadora Epstein, Rich Gilligan, Áine Mac Giolla Bhríde, Sonia Shiel, Deirdre O’Mahony, Bassam Issa Al-Sabah, Sarah Browne, Marielle MacLeman, Eslam Abd El Salam, Marie Farrington, and Ruth E Lyons among others.
We’re launching IRL with a Sale of Work (with cocktails) on Thursday 20 November 2025 at Kunstverein Aughrim. Join us from 4-8pm for a double bill of events to mark the occasion...
4–6pm: Suppose a Stone conversation and zine launch with Jenny O’Leary, Finn Richards and Eamonn Hall as part of Irish Design Week 2025
6–8pm: House of Kunst Sale of Work featuring artworks for sale, live palm readings and Sell, Sel, Cel cocktails and salty celery based refreshments by Michelle Darmody.
All works will be available to purchase on a first-come, first-served basis. Remaining works will be available online (with various shipping/delivery options) after the event. Funds generated by House of Kunst support artists and future Kunstverein commissions.
