A Lifetime of Collecting
07 September 2021 - 14:00
Our First Auction of the Autumn Auction Season will be the sale of the late Homan Potterton's collection of old master paintings, Irish Art, engravings, furniture and silver from his homes in Dublin and in the Gaillac region in France.
Homan Potterton was and remains an important figure in Irish Art and Culture.
Appointed in 1980 as the youngest ever Director of the National Gallery of Ireland, Homan set out creating a comprehensive catalogue of the Gallery's collection.
Although his time as Director was during a period of economic difficulty in Ireland which halted plans of refurbishment, Homan succeeded in securing major additions to the National Collection from the collection of Alfred and Clementine Beit.
