Ross’s (Belfast) Sale of Irish Paintings Wednesday 7th March, 2012
There’s some great value to be had at Ross’s (Belfast) Sale of Irish Paintings on Wednesday next, and amongst the 380+ Lots to be offered are works by Maurice Canning Wilks, Frank Egginton, Colin Middleton, Gregory Moore, Graham Knuttel, Markey Robinson, Frank McKelvey and James Humbert Craig. Many of them in the very affordable mid-hundred pound range. There has never been a better time to pick up quality art at bargain prices – check out their catalogue link below. Apart from works by my perennial favourite (Gregory Moore) I was particularly taken with this painting of the Titanic’s sister ship “Britannic” by James Macdonald which carries a low estimate of £250 – £350. At 36 x 48 inches you get a big bang for your buck too!

CHRISTMAS BONANZA FOR IRISH ART LOVERS
Three pre-Christmas Dublin sales for Irish Art Lovers
Whyte’s Irish Art Sale on Monday 28th November, de Vere’s Irish Art Auction on Tuesday 29th November and James Adams Important Irish Art Sale on Monday 5th December.
Whyte’s Irish Art Sale at the Royal Dublin Society (RDS) on Monday 28th November kicks off the Christmas Art Auction season in Dublin, and there’s plenty of big names to choose from in the 224 lots. Lot.12. ‘A Young Man’s Trouble’ (1900), a watercolour by Jack B Yeats, carries an estimate of €20,000 – €30,000. An example of the artist’s early work, when it was still possible to discern the subject matter without the aid of an art expert.
Lot.20. ‘The Street in Shadow’ (1933) – below – another Yeats work carries an estimate of €50,000 – €70,000 . A more typical work from Yeats where he used the oil paint directly from the tubes resulting in an appalling, but valuable, daub.
Lot.72. “Paris Red Wall” More art (?) from Sean Scully – a man who shouldn’t have given up the day job. A limited edition lithograph (40) this is number 34 and closely resembles what my children used to bring home from Junior Infants. Priced at an outrageous €3,000 -€4,000 which it will no doubt achieve!
"Reflections Across the Bog" by Paul Henry. Est.€70,000 - €100,000
Finally comes the James Adams Important Irish Art sale on the 5th December and again all the big names feature with Lot.53. “Jazz Babies” (1929) by Jack B Yeats topping the bill with a whopping estimate of €500,000 – €800,000. There are eight further Yeats works included in the sale including Lot.54. ‘The Princess of the Circus’ (1946) €50,000 – €70,000; Lot.95. ‘The Unforgetting Background’ (1949) Est.€120,000 – €180,00 and Lot.96. The Water Chute (1949) Est. €60,000 – 80,000.
