An Taisce urges Taoiseach to halt Beit art collection sale
Two of the paintings are due to be auctioned today and the rest, including two by the Flemish artist Peter Paul Ruebens, are due to be sold at Christie’s auction house on July 9.
Ian Lumley, the organisation’s heritage officer, said the Taoiseach should co-ordinate a constructive response to halt it. An Taisce has also called for an investigation into the private sale of a painting from the collection earlier this year.
