Michael Flatley works sell for €120k

Michael Flatley stole the show at Morgan O’Driscoll’s Irish and International art auction at the RDS in Dublin last evening.

The Lord of the Dance metamorphosised into the Lord of the Salesroom when two of his paintings, The Power and Flight of the Quetzal, sold for €77,500 and €44,000 respectively; the highest value artworks sold at auction in Ireland this year.

While Flatley, whose art is made by tap dancing on canvas, was hitting the heights, work by Louis le Brocquy, Dan O’Neill, Tony O’Malley, Camille Souter, William Crozier and Hughie O’Donoghue went unsold. The auction was a success though, an Andy Warhol print sold for €34,000 and art by Frank McKelvey and Colin Middleton made €21,000 and €19,000 respectively.
