Beit Collection pictures sold
November 20 2015

Picture: Christie's
Two of the Beit Collection paintings controversially withdrawn from Christie's at the last minute earlier this year, are to be transferred to the Irish state. Under a tax incentive deal, the Rubens (above) and an Adoration by van Ostade have been bought for a combined approx. EUR3m. They will be transferred to the National Gallery of Ireland. More here.
Still some way to go before the Beit Collection reaches its EUR15m target.
