Michael Flatley sells his first painting for €5,600

“It’s magnificent – very Chinese looking,“ said one woman of the painting. “I wouldn’t be mad about him; he’s a genius in his own field but I don’t like the painting,“ said another auction attendee. Bidding opened at €2,000 and rose quickly.
“Don’t blame me in a few years’ time when we see these going for millions,“ auctioneer Michael Sheppard warned the packed room, before he brought the hammer down at €5,600 for an anonymous telephone bidder in Dublin. „It was an amazing price for a first painting,“ said Sheppard’s.
Afterwards, Flatley revealed that he had created other paintings using his famous feet and that he plans to do more.
