Important Irish Art
29 November 2021 Yet another very successful auction hosted by Whyte’s showed that there is no slackening in the demand for art of quality. Held at the RDS on last Monday, 29 November– the first saleroom auction held by Whyte’s since March 2020 – the auction attracted 50 room bidders despite the weather and 500 on-line bidders as well as about 60 telephone bidders. Director and auctioneer Peter Whyte said “the cold weather combined with our clients’ familiarity with internet bidding reduced the attendance but there was still a good degree of room bidding and a return to a real live auction atmosphere”.
The sale grossed €2.5 million with 85% of lots sold
Among the highlights were Jack Butler Yeats Shouting at €1.74 million, equalling the world record held by Whyte’s for Ireland’s greatest artist, Grace Henry The Fortune Teller at €46,000, a new world record for Paul Henry’s first wife, John Shinnors Towel and The Snowman at €42,360, Graham Knuttel Planet Hollywood at €24,900, a new world record for this popular artist, and Letitia Hamilton A Cove on Lake Garda, €21,800. Prices include buyers’ premium and VAT.

THE CHRISTMAS SALE OF ART & COLLECTIBLES
16 December 2020 A seasonal sale of art, collectibles, rare wines and spirits suitable as gifts of enduring value.
VIEWING AT OUR GALLERIES:
Saturday & Sunday 12 & 13 December 1pm to 5pm; Monday to Wednesday 14-16 December 10am to 5pm
This is a Timed On-line Auction.
Timed auctions don’t have an auctioneer calling the bids – there’s just a bidding time frame and whoever bids highest during the time frame wins.
Each lot can be bid on for a defined time period. At the end of this period, the bidder who has submitted the highest bid wins the lot, provided the bid exceeds the reserve price.
You tell us the most you’re willing to pay – and we’ll bid intelligently for you, only bidding enough for you to meet the reserve or stay in the lead.
Don’t worry, your maximum bid is not disclosed, and is held in confidence on our bidding system. If someone bids higher than your ‘maximum’, we will send you an 'outbid alert' via email to let you know, so you can decide whether to bid more.
You'll know it's a timed auction as the end time will be displayed on the lot page. If a bid is placed in the last 5 minutes of the defined time period, the time period will be extended by 5 minutes.
