We are delighted with the results of this Important Irish Art sale which totalled €1.5million. The fact that so many of the more expensive lots sold above their estimates demonstrates that there are a healthy number of bidders for high end paintings, and having sold 75% of the lots we feel that the results of this auction show positive signs for the Irish art market in Dublin at present.
