Major Irish art sales at Morgan O’Driscoll’s and James Adam’s

The winter selling season for Irish art continues apace next week with major sales by Morgan O’Driscoll at the RHA Gallery in Dublin next Monday at 6pm and by James Adam on Wednesday at 6pm.

Adams describe this as one of their finest sales in some years, headed by Jack B Yeats’s Glory to the Brave Singer (1950) which featured on these pages last week and is estimated at €250,000-€350,000. It is one of four works by Yeats in the auction.

The 161 lots at Morgan O’Driscoll will cater to a wide range of artistic tastes, with two very fine works by Paul Henry, ‘Cottages Connemara’ (€120,000-€180,000) and ‘In the Western Mountains’ (60,000-80,000).
