Fortress House to Be Gibraltar’s First Major Art Institution
Fortress House, an ambitious new art museum, will open in Gibraltar on the tip of the Iberian Peninsula in autumn next year.
Known for its military history and rugged landscape, Gibraltar is home to a handful of art galleries focussed on Gibraltarian artists. Fortress House, however, has global aspirations.
Most of the works in the collection were created after 1970 and many have an emphasis on individuality and identity.
Female artists feature prominently, including Louise Bourgeois, Tracey Emin, Jenny Holzer, Sarah Lucas, Cindy Sherman and Kiki Smith. Male artists in the collection include Michael Craig-Martin, Lucian Freud, Antony Gormley, and Alex Katz.
