Spotlight on Irish women modernists at Whyte’s

THERE are strong examples by Irish women artists at Whyte’s sale at the RDS next Monday at 6pm.

May Guinness and Mary Swanzy, both of whom featured in the acclaimed Analysing Cubism show at IMMA in 2013, are represented in the auction by three particularly striking works.

Still Life by Guinness shows her developing Modernism after studying in Paris with Andre Lhote in the 1920s. It is estimated at €8,000 to €10,000.
