Press Reviews: Royal print auctioned for £47,000  

The Times - 15 Oct 1998

A SIGNED lithograph of a painting by the Prince of Wales made £47,000 in Dublin last night at a charity auction to raise money for the victims of the Omagh bomb (Audrey Magee writes).

Agnes McCourt, 55, from Newry in Northern Ireland bought Windsor Castle North Aspect. The previous highest price for an artwork by Prince Charles was £10,000.

The reproduction of the 1995 watercolour was the last of some 250 artworks to sell at the auction in Dublin's national concert hall. Bidding opened at £2,000 and over 50 bids were placed on the painting.
