    Can anyone recommend some commercial art galleries with affordable art for sale?

    I have bought a house and would like a few pieces - max. 500e per piece. I'm looking for friendly galleries to visit on an upcoming visit to Dublin. I will only be in the city centre and won't have a chance to go further out,.

    Thanks!

    Edit:forgot to say I am open to most styles/mediums

    Zozimus on Francis St - good selection and variety of mediums(?) and prices - have bought a number of pieces from them over the years

    From South Great George's St. to Merrion Sq. You've got the Gallery Arcade in George's Arcade and The Fine Print Makers on Drury St.
    The Solomon Gallery in Westbury Mall.
    Dom's place upstairs in Stephen's Green S.C.
    On Dawson St. there's a few galleries- Pat Donald photography, Solart and The Apollo.
    On Frederick St\Moleswoth St. there's The Molesworth, Sears, The Doorway and Jorgensen's galleries.
    If it's a Sunday and the weather's good there also the Merrion Sq. art exhibition (artists display their work on the railings).

    There's probably about another 4 or 5 in that stretch but they're not coming to mind at the moment

    Whytes are having a Christmas auction on 10th December - a lot of very reasonably priced stuff.

    As a matter of interest, when purchasing paintings, is there any haggling around the price advertised or is it strictly the sticker price ?

    Always *something* to be done on price. But an unrealistic lowball isn't a good place to start and would usually get short shrift.
