  • BIRD OF PREY AT ONLINE ART AUCTION

    A bronze hawk by Oisin Kelly RHA, cast in the Dublin Art Foundry during the 1970’s, comes up at de Veres sale of outstanding Irish art and sculpture which runs until July 23. Estimated at 4,000-6,000 it is one of an issue of seven.  The artist derived many of his themes from the natural world and had a particular fondness for birds. His earliest major public work was his ‘Children of Lir’ in the Garden of Remembrance, Parnell Square, Dublin, which was dedicated by An Taoiseach, Jack Lynch, in August 1971. 

    Oisin Kelly RHA, 1915 – 1981 HAWK. UPDATE: THIS MADE 5,500 AT HAMMER
