Pallas Projects/Studios is marking its milestone 20 year anniversary by staging a special fundraising auction of Irish contemporary art, with the support of the Irish Georgian Society and Whyte’s auctioneers. Taking place at the magnificent City Assembly House on South William Street on Thursday 15th September, the auction will feature largely Irish contemporary artists working in painting, print, photography and sculpture, with a number of international colleagues of the art space also contributing work.
A follow up to our groundbreaking ‘New York style’ auction house/non-profit space collaboration in 2014, this year will again see a huge number of Pallas’ colleagues take part, and a widened selection (almost twice as many works as 2014) will feature many more of our best emerging artists and affordable works, as well as the work of several previous Irish representatives at the world’s biggest art event, the Venice Biennale. Internationally renowned artists include Eva Rothschild, Alice Maher, Atsushi Kaga, and Isabel Nolan, and Ireland most famous living artist, Sean Scully, considered to be one of the world’s leading abstract painters. All involved have donated their work for this benefit night, which stands testament to the regard in which Pallas is held amongst its peers, as a leading supporter of the development of Irish art practice at the grassroots, over the last 20 years.
This year the event will take place over the entire City Assembly House building – with the auction itself taking place in one of Dublin's hidden gems, the incredible ‘Octagon’ room – and will be open to the public for previews in the week running up to the auction. As in 2014 – when Ardal O’Hanlon took the reigns as master of ceremonies (handing over to the expert Ian Whyte to run the bids), the event promises to be a gala affair, with pop-up food and drinks circulating over the course of the evening.
With many affordable works (guide prices range from 40 – 5000 euro), and always the chance to grab a bargain by a major Irish artist, it will be a great opportunity to enjoy the auction experience for the first time, support Irish artists, and start a collection of your own with a unique artwork.
The Auction, run by Whyte’s (who have graciously offered to forgo fees and commission for this event in support of the non-profit sector), will take place in the home of The Irish Georgian Society, who have donated the use of the hugely apt City Assembly House (one of the first public galleries in Europe, set up by artists in for the event. Special thanks to: Whyte's, Irish Georgian Society, Teeling Whiskey, Galway Bay Brewery, Coppinger Row, and all our supporters, sponsors, and of course the contributing artists.
