JUNE 2008... 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. |

More Artist Biographies Coming Soon...To expand our coverage of the visual arts in Ireland, as well as our lists of Dublin and Cork artists, more biography entries will be added shortly to the above list, from our index of Irish painters, sculptors and contemporary artists. Attention New Artists!! As well as building an index of renowned artists (of which the above list is merely an initial sample), we are compiling biographies of new artists born or working in Ireland. If you are an artist living and working in Ireland, please send us your biography. To do this, please use our: Artist Submission Form. |

Index of Artists Compiling any list of painters, sculptors, stained glass artists, ceramicists, and other contemporary artists - involved in such diverse art forms as: Assemblage, Collage, Installation, Conceptual Art, Performance and Happenings, as well as film-based media like Photography, Video and Animation, or public art forms like environmental land art - is no easy task. Inevitably, some talented individuals are inadvertently omitted. We apologize in advance for any such errors. 18th
