Irish art market marched on in 2020 despite postponements

Stalwarts like Paul Henry, Yeats, le Brocquy, Lavery,  O'Neill and Scott have performed very well, as have contemporary artists

'A Sunny Day, Connemara' sold for a world record hammer price of €420,000 at Whyte's.

Postponements, deferrals, re-scheduling and last-minute cancellations failed to stop the onward march of the Irish art market in 2020.

It has not been a bad year at all and the omens on the home front are good for major upcoming sales of Irish art by Morgan O'Driscoll, Whyte's, de Veres and James Adam.
