Early drawings by Paul Henry (1876-1958) unseen in this country since the 1940’s will be a highlight at Morgan O’Driscoll’s sale of Irish and International art at the RDS on September 14. The two drawings, Boy with a Flute (1910) and Woman with Fagots (1904) were acquired directly from the artist and have been in New Zealand since the 1940’s. Each one is estimated at 15,000-25,000.
There is sculpture by John Behan and others, an original screen print by Robert Motherwell and Old Time Dance by Dan O’Neill which depicts a night time scene and a couple dancing. The sale of 110 lots will be on view at Morgan O’Driscoll’s Skibbereen offices from September 4-7 and in Dublin at the RDS Minerva Suite from September 11.
