AS 2016 drew to a close, two auction houses in Ireland finished the year on a high, chalking up good results for a pair of 20th century artists.
In County Laois on December 1, Sheppard’s (20% buyer’s premium) sold three large and early landscapes by the English artist Claude Francis Barry (1883-1970) to the tune of €43,000 (£36,440).
