Multi-talented Huber dad

Designer turned painter

Before he was known for being the father of Amy Huberman, Harold Huberman was known for his beautifully designed coats. In his early years, the designer and tailor worked with Henry White, a pioneer of the Irish fashion industry. Now he is focusing his artistic talent on watercolours. Three of Hubermans’s works are being auctioned in O’Reilly’s Auction Rooms next Wednesday, and are on view from tomorrow. The pieces have estimates starting from €500. The image shown is of Italian Lake, Cobh, Co Cork. Guide price €600-€800. Dominique McMullan
