Irish Art

Our June sale realised some excellent prices, confirming that Bonhams/Adams is still the place to buy and sell Irish art.
A new world auction record of €59,000 was achieved for Aloysius O’Kelly, while €50,000 was the winning bid for Erskine Nicol’s superb ‘Fly Fishers’ (against an estimate of €35,000-45,000). The traditional sector performed well with other highlights including Sir Gerald Festus Kelly’s ‘Ma Si Gway IX’ which fetched €35,000 following competitive bidding both in the room and on the phone. An important portrait by Roderic O’Conor was offered as a rare opportunity to acquire a pastel by this artist, making €20,000. The Estate of Theo Snoddy was also well received with ‘The Saw Sharpener’ (1917) by Jack B Yeats realising a hammer of €68,000.

We are delighted to announce our next specialist sale of Irish Art on 9th December and are now inviting entries for this prestigious auction. Please contact Penny Day for free and confidential advice.
