Art Auctions: A Showcase of Creativity and History

At O’Reilly’s Auction Rooms, our art auctions are a treasure trove for collectors, enthusiasts and those just starting their collections. From paintings and sculptures to works on paper and prints, each auction features a carefully curated selection of artworks across a variety of styles and subject matter.

One of our specialities lies in Irish art, and we are proud to have featured works from renowned artists such as Jack B. Yeats, Louis Le Brocquy, Colin Middleton, Nano Reid, Sean Keating, John Behan, and Percy French. Whether you're seeking a unique piece to add to your collection or selling a cherished artwork, our auctions provide a platform for both discovery and opportunity.

What to Consider When Buying or Selling Artwork at Auction

When consigning an artwork, it’s important to evaluate its key attributes to determine its value:

• Artist: Identifying the artist is crucial. Look for signatures, gallery labels, or markings on the reverse of paintings or the base of sculptures.
• Provenance: Provenance—such as receipts, photos, or catalogues—can significantly enhance the artwork’s appeal. Any documentation, including exhibition history or a purchase receipt, adds legitimacy and value to the piece. The more evidence supporting the artwork’s authenticity, the greater its interest at auction.
• Age and Condition: Signs of age, such as discolouration, cracks, or wear, can indicate an older piece. Familiarity with art movements and styles can also help determine its era and influence its value.
