“If anything is likely to make us all long for a recent past we didn’t participate in, it’s Oriol Maspons’ pictures of Ibiza from Agony + Ecstasy”
– DAZED Magazine
Founded in 2022 by British editor Emma Salahi, former fashion producer of Condé Nast’s LOVE Magazine and executive assistant to Editor-in-Chief and fashion stylist, Katie Grand.
Agony + Ecstasy Gallery was born out of the void for art and photography in Ibiza. The gallery´s niche is unearthing unpublished photography from archives that capture the golden hedonistic era of Ibiza, and transforming these works into valuable collectible fine art.
The gallery has notably collaborated with iconic beach restaurant Casa Jondal, Ibiza’s oldest hotels Atzaro Agroturisimo, The Montesol Hotel, and exhibited at CAN Art Fair Ibiza.
In 2024, Emma Salahi and Agony + Ecstasy partnered with London-based publisher IDEA to release the book ORIOL MASPONS IBIZA, a previously unseen photo series capturing Ibiza from the 1950s to the 1980s — from its tranquil pre-tourism days to the post-Franco hippie era and the rise of iconic nightlife at Pacha, Amnesia, and Privilege.
