Drawing attention: Masterpieces and bargains up for auction at just €250

YOU can’t put a price on fine art, and now it seems you can’t put a name on it either.

Culture vultures are set to flock to an auction with a difference over the coming weeks in the hope of uncovering a €250 bargain that, in reality, is worth thousands.

As part of fundraising efforts for the Cill Rialaig artist retreat in Kerry, hundreds of paintings, sculptures and other works from well-known names and amateurs will be up for sale in Cork city.
