The Vintage Bewick Collection
The Vintage Bewick Collection
Solo Arte is one of Ireland’s leading Art Galleries located in the South East of Ireland who are
committed to providing local access to the best of contemporary Irish and European art. Solo Arte
has been described (by Sunday Business Post Journalist Ros Drinkwater (25th September 2005)
as being 'ahead of the game' in sourcing good art from all over Europe.
A collector who approaches art with the mentality of an investor needs to have the ability to
purchase works by artists that already have a solid market value. As professional experts in the
Irish art market, we provide that ability to the investor.
Solo Arte also provide advice for investors on tax relief on the purchase of art under the Wear and
Tear Allowance Section 285 of the 1997 Finance Act.
