    ART ON SALE IN DUBLIN NEXT WEEK

    Thursday, September 24th, 2015

    It is art sales weeks in Dublin next week.  Whyte’s will get the ball rolling on September 28 with a sale of Irish and International art at the RDS.  There is a wide variety of offer.  A rarity is Galway artist Joseph Patrick Haverty’s A Family Group from c1850 (30,000-50,000) with astonishing detail of consumes and the figures as a family disembark from their painted rowing boat.  Sir John Lavery’s  1931 portrait of The Earl of Lonsdale is estimated at 25,000-40,000.  He inaugurated The Lonsdale Belt for boxing in 1909 and his name was immortalized in 1959 when it was used for a range of boxing equipment and sporting.  Lavery described his as “the most paintable – not to say the best dressed – Englishman I knew”.  There is contemporary art too  from Sean Scully and John Shinnors to William Crozier and Rowan Gillespie.  Whyte’s will offer 216 lots and the catalogue is online.  Here is a small selection.
