Stephen McKenna’s Basket and Vessels.
Stephen McKenna’s Basket and Vessels was the top lot at the James Adam sale of the Anglo Irish Bank collection in Dublin on September 3. It made 17,000 over an estimate of 8,000-12,000. The sale brought in 281,000 and was more than 90 per cent sold.
James Adam is delighted with the result, saying: “it once again proves the point that collections with interesting provenance are very much sought after by Irish collectors”.
