Irish and Sporting Art will be offered at Christie’s London on Friday, 8 May 2009, during a week of three Irish themed sales which celebrate the beauty and rich heritage of Irish art and antiques. This fresh new sale format provides the opportunity for collectors and institutions to acquire captivating works, from the 18th through to the 20th century, by the leading names in two genres that greatly compliment each other and which illustrate a natural cross over of the interests and passions of many. Highlights, many of which are from private collections and have not been offered at auction for many years, will be on public exhibition at The Merrion Hotel, Dublin on 23 and 24 April 2009.
