Irish masterworks in the frame at James Adam and Whyte's

We preview upcoming art sales, at James Adam on June 1 and Whyte's on June 6

'Emerald with Reds and Cerulean' by Patrick Heron at Whyte's.

What amounts to almost an embarrassment of Irish art riches confronts collectors at upcoming sales at James Adam on June 1 and at Whyte’s on June 6.

The undoubted highlight of these sales are the two re-discovered 18th-century masterworks of Dublin Bay by William Ashford, featured here last Saturday.
