Once again Gormley’s have gathered together an interesting selection of Irish Art and most at very reasonable prices.  There are several nice works by Gregory Moore but it is the timeless piece below  by P.Timmons that really caught my eye – bidding is currently a mere €20 for this superb painting!

Lot.51. 'Old House, The Sperrins' - by P.Timmons. Est.€50 - €100

On: Tuesday 1st November 2011 at 7.00pm.

Yeats work exceeds expectations at Whyte’s Irish Art Sale

Whyte’s sale of Irish Art on Monday last (10th October) grossed over €700,000 and has been deemed by the company as a very successful sale. The top price was €110,000 for Lot .32. ‘ Rescue Men’ by Jack B Yeats – against a pre-sale estimate of €60 – €80,000. Proof, yet again, that there’s no accounting for taste but perhaps it was purchased as an investment.

Other notable results were €60,000 for Lot.41.  ‘Connemara Landscape‘ by Paul Henry and a total of over €20,000 for Michael Hanrahan’s Royal Visit to Ireland series. The Percy French work, featured further down this page, failed to sell and maybe available for sale by private treaty through Whytes.

The next Irish Art Sale at Whytes is on the 28th November, 2011

Yeats’ work achieves record price for a painting sold in Ireland!

Yesterday’s sale at James Adam & Son saw a painting entitled ‘A Fair Day, Mayo‘ by Jack B Yeats sell for €1,000,000 – a new record for a painting sold at auction in Ireland. The painting had been in private ownership since 1944 when it was purchased for £250! The pre-sale estimate was €500,000 – €800,00.
