RTÉ sells two paintings at Sotheby's auction

Cash strapped RTÉ is still hopeful that paintings that failed to sell at Sotheby’s public auction in London will be bought privately.

Two of five paintings sold publicly at two Sotheby auctions, one in the afternoon and the other in the evening totaled €225,000 for the national broadcaster and the Arts Council means that RTÉ will receive €112,500, minus commission.
