Irish Art
Twentieth-century art is attracting the greatest interest and the highest prices. Christie’s has reported phenomenal global demand for paintings by Irish-born artist Francis Bacon whose triptych painting, Three Studies of Lucian Freud, sold for $142.4 million ($105.3m) in New York last year, creating a record as the most valuable work of art ever sold at auction.
Christie’s Catalogue described Bacon’s art as, “an incisive, biting portrayal of a man, which goes beyond the possibilities of traditional painting”.
