Exhibition heralds Irish art auction

WORKS by some of Ireland’s most celebrated artists are on display in Dublin just weeks before going under the hammer.

Sourced from private collections all over the world, almost 170 pieces will be auctioned at the annual Irish Sale at Christie’s in London on May 8.

Images by Le Brocquy, Lavery and Paul Henry, form part of a touring exhibition open to the public at Dublin’s Merrion Hotel today and tomorrow.
