John Behan’s bronze sculpture Birds in Flight will highlight the online sale at Woodward Auctioneers in Cork on November 23. One of our most renowned contemporary sculptors, Behan is the subject of a new feature-length film titled Odyssey directed by Donald Taylor-Black documenting his involvement with migrant camps in Greece.
A commitment to social justice has always been part of his work and John Behan, now in his mid-80s, has given art workshops to migrants and refugees in Athens. The bronze at Woodward’s is estimated at €8,000-€12,000.
