Tara Murphy attended University College Dublin, where she received an honours degree in Art History & French and a postgraduate Diploma in Arts Administration. Upon graduating in 1994, she began working at Suzanne Macdougald’s Solomon Gallery and was promoted to Gallery Director in 1997. In 2013 Macdougald decided to retire after 40 successful years in the business and Tara immediately took over the gallery on an independent basis. Tara has helped develop the Solomon into one of the most successful galleries in the country, representing over 40 contemporary painters and sculptors. The Solomon also deals in early 20th-century art, and in 2014 Tara established PORTFOLIO @ Solomon - a second gallery dedicated to Irish design & craft. With a particular emphasis on sculpture at the Solomon, Tara has been involved in major commissions and installations of many public sculptures in Dublin city. She has also curated exhibitions for Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council and the LexIcon Library.
