Upcoming sales prove art is for everyone

There is a great selection of scorching works at upcoming sales 

Le Loing at Sundown by Roderic O'Conor at Whyte's.

The way Edward McGuire paints portraits, Patrick Hennessy captures the essential essence of a red rose or William Conor evokes atmosphere can be overlooked in art auction catalogues where the big guns dominate.

You can't blame Yeats, Orpen, Henry, le Brocquy et al — all of whom loom large in major Irish art sales at Whyte's and Adams in Dublin next week — for stealing the attention. There is a great selection of scorching works by these artists at the upcoming sales. Yeats, in particular, dominates this time around for the sheer number and quality of his works on offer.
