Art by Kenneth Webb, Banksy, Thorvald Hellesen and more at sales in Durrow, Dublin and Lismore
'Abstract Composition' by Thorvald Hellesen at Sheppard's, an original and vintage poster of Fellini's Amarcord at Lot 100, 'River Run Poppies' by Kenneth Webb at Sheppard's.
OLD favourites and new names combine to make an interesting selection at art sales by Sheppard's in Durrow, deVeres in Dublin and the newly formed Lot 100, which is based in Lismore, in the coming week.
An arresting view of River Run Poppies by Kenneth Webb is the catalogue cover lot for Sheppard's evening sale of Irish and international art on Thursday (December 11).
Choices here range from Donald Teskey's take on Kilkee, a dramatic abstract composition by the Norwegian artist Thorvald Hellesen, an image of Samuel Beckett by Louis le Brocquy and houses by Mary Lou, a self-taught painter from the Glens of Antrim.
Her contribution is an oil-on-board of a village in the west of Ireland in a bold, graphic style against a mountainous backdrop.
A vibrant studio still life by Gladys MacCabe reflects a modernist style, while a pen and ink drawing by Sir William Orpen was once in the collection of Ronnie Wood of the Rolling Stones.
A Banksy Walled-off Hotel box set, a lithograph of Queen Beatrix from the Reigning Queen series by Andy Warhol, a screenprint of birdflight by Braque and a signed etching by Renoir of a seated bather are among the international lots on offer. The sale is on view in Durrow, and the catalogue is online.
The Christmas art and furniture online auction at deVeres this Wednesday (December 10) at 2pm is headed by The Children of Lir, an oil-on-board by Patrick Collins. Artists in the sale include Peter Collis, Arthur Armstrong, William Carron, Yvonne Moore, Felim Egan, Mark Francis, Anne King Harman, Markey Robinson, Gerard Dillon and Patrick Scott.
There is a range of 20th-century design furniture and period pieces by Hicks, including a Georgian-style semi-elliptical side table, a set of Dutch 18th-century style dining chairs and a pair of compartmental wall mirrors.
An Italian-tinted and mirrored hall table and a pair of 1970s black leather Swedish easy chairs cater for a contrasting taste in furniture.
A largescale, rare vintage poster for Federico Fellini's Amarcord is among the highly collectible lots at the online auction by Lot 100, which runs until Tuesday (December 9).
Amarcord is set in his hometown of Rimini in the 1930s, and the extraordinary characters that surrounded him. Fellini commissioned the Italian painter Giuliano Geleng to create a portrait of some of the people and events that shaped his young life in this film classic.
There is art by Eithne Jordan, Joan Miro, Damien Hirst, Richard Long, Patrick Scott and a photographic portrait of Martin McDonagh by Steve Pyke in an eclectic selection that can be seen online and is on view this weekend in Lismore.
