Le Brocquy work at Adams sale

A detail of Indoors Outdoors by Louis le Brocquy, estimated at €500,000-€800,000 for Adams’ sale on Wednesday.

MAJOR works by Louis le Brocquy and William John Leech, and a rare marble bust of Cork legend Fr Prout by John Hogan (1800-1858) are among the highlights at the James Adam sale of important Irish art in Dublin next Wednesday at 6pm.

Le Brocquy’s Indoors Outdoors was the inspiration for A Family, his monumental work in the National Gallery. Adams say it is the most important le Brocquy on the market since they sold Sick Tinker Child for €820,000 in 2006 and estimate it at €500,000-€800,000.
