    ART OF JOHN DOHERTY AT DE VERES AUCTION

    Sunday, November 24th, 2024

    The Dolan Boys, Waiting by John Doherty. UPDATE: THIS MADE 70,000 AT HAMMER

    As the years go by the photo realist art of John Doherty reflects an Ireland that is vanishing fast.  If anything this makes the work of this virtuoso even more precious. His 1995 painting titled The Dolan Boys, Waiting, brings you back to an Ireland of yesteryear. No surprise that the artist initially trained as an architect. The subject of the work is in Birr. It is a leading lot at de Vere’s outstanding Irish art evening auction in Dublin on November 26 with an estimate of €40,000-€60,000.  There are major works by Roderic O’Conor, Yeats, Osborne, Leech, Shinnors, Norah McGuinness, Mary Swanzy, Nano Reid and others on offer.
