JUNE 2008...
WILLIAM SCOTT BECOMES LATEST IRISH ARTIST TO JOIN THE MILLION POUND CLUB
A still-life painting by the Belfast artist
William Scott (1913-89) sold at Christie's for £1,071,650
in June 2008. The Northern Ireland artist thus joins the select group
of Irish artists whose paintings have broken the £1 million barrier.
The group includes such artists as the Expressionist Francis Bacon,
and Jack Butler Yeats, the academic portraitist William Orpen,
the Impressionist John Lavery, and the great contemporary painter
Louis le Brocquy. Of these, only Le Brocquy is still living.
