In Ireland, Small Galleries Go for Lower-Priced Buyers

July 14, 2015 by Marion Maneker

Irish gallerist Rosemarie Noone

Irish galleries have regrouped from the credit crisis and the country’s own financial troubles to put a new emphasis on individual buyers at lower price points:

What all these disparate galleries have in common is a sense that the worst is now behind them and that the market is turning. “Things have definitely begun to improve over the past 12 months or so,” says Sabina Mac Mahon of Taylor Galleries. “There are buyers out there now, although they are more individuals than corporate clients or people buying for the major public collections.”

The galleries that have survived have inevitably become more nimble and more appreciative of buyers. For the consumer, art prices are a fraction of what they used to be. In this increasingly synthetic age a local gallery is one of the few places you can purchase unique expressions of human creativity.
