With 57 offices worldwide, Dublin is now the 15th global selling location for the 230-year-old auction house
Bonhams will conduct its first ever Irish sale in Ireland this month in a timed online auction with bidding from November 17th-28th. The 126 lots will be on view at City Assembly House on Dublin’s South William Street from November 24th-28th. Entitled The Irish Sale, Vision and Voice, “it’s about celebrating those who have shaped the identity of Ireland all over the globe”, according to Kieran O’Boyle, Director of Bonhams in Ireland.
Brexit has had a serious impact on the sale of Irish art, whereby new rules mean that someone buying Irish art at a sale in Britain could end up paying an additional 15 percent post-Brexit tax premium. This can make the aggregate in the region of 45 percent after shipping, premiums and duty.
It’s a lovely catalogue with a real mix including fine art, pop culture, design and history. It features 30 works in The Irish News Collection, formed over the course of 40 years by the late Jim Fitzpatrick, former owner of The Irish News, which, last year was the best-performing daily newspaper across the UK, according to industry figures. Highlights include a portrait from 1912 by Sir William Orpen of his then six-year-old daughter, Christine – universally known as Kit .
