A masterwork by Markey Robinson, a large Gerard Dillon from his Pierrot series and an East Manhattan diptych by Brian Bourke are among the paintings on offer at de Veres in Dublin on December 2. The auction at Thomas Prior Hall in Ballsbridge will feature traditional landscapes and contemporary Irish art, alongside 15 lots of classic 20th century design furniture. The Robinson work of a busy harbour scene in the west of Ireland measures 48′ x 65′ and was painted on the back of a tea chest. This exceptionally large work by Markey is estimated at 14,000-18,000. Dillon’s Blue Nude with dancing pierrot (20,000-30,000) is a complex work depicting his fantasy world. Brian Bourke’s East Manhattan (10,000-15,000) was painted from the roof of the Irish Consulate in New York and depicts the Chrysler Building in the distance.
