Continued discussion regarding our discovery of the important canvas by A.Y. Jackson, 'Night on the Skeena River', 1927, has prompted me to write a few additional comments. Prior the re-emergence of 'Night on the Skeena River', 1927, the available evidence led us to believe that Jackson had 'worked up' six...

Earlier maps of the Sulpician property Duncan's watercolour provides a rare glimpse into Montreal's history through the eyes and hands of first rate 19th century Canadian artist. He portrays 'The Major Seminary of Montreal” in a way aptly described in The Sulpicians of Montreal 1657-2007: “With Mount Royal in the...

To see a Morrice canvas of Canadian subject matter on the market is a rare occurrence; when you add the fact that it was exhibited at the Paris Salon de la Société Nationale, it becomes an event. The artist’s Québec works account for less than seven percent of his total...

A.Y. Jackson produced some magical paintings in the 1920s. Made with a bold, expressionist touch and rich colour on medium-large canvases, his images of landscape, Quebec villages and the homes and poles of the First Nations have a remarkable staying power. Whatever he painted, Jackson's work always involved a modernist...

We are both proud and thrilled to orchestrate the private placement of A.Y. Jackson ’s magnificent canvas, “Night on the Skeena River” of 1927 from its original family of owners to a new generation of stewardship.

In the March 9-10 Global Edition of The New York Times my all time favourite art writer, Souren Melikian, wrote: 'Until World War II, dealers dominated the market. Then, by the early 1950s, galleries began to lose ground to auction houses, and within 20 years, these became the locomotive pulling...

'Sotheby’s Canada is getting out of what it calls the “theatre” of auctions as a way to sell important Canadian art after an often tumultuous run of more than 45 years.' Read the whole article by James Adams from the Globe and Mail: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/sothebys-citing-weak-margins-quits-live-auctions/article8285168/

As many of our readers will now know, Sotheby's Canada yesterday announced its withdrawal from the 'theatre' of Canadian art auctions. While this is being hailed in some corners as a victory for competing Canadian auction houses, in our opinion it is an affirmation of the growing popularity of no-risk...

I will begin this retrospective with the comment that in my career I cannot recall a holiday season as vigorous as this. Contemporary art, the market arguably most affected by global economic concerns, surged to levels we have not recently seen. I am as delighted to report this to our...

The highlight of the fall season for me had to be 'Painting Canada: Tom Thomson and the Group of Seven', the McMichael Collection in Kleinburg, Ontario, hosted brilliantly under the relatively new leadership of Dr. Victoria Dickenson. This was the same presentation that fortunate spectators had previously enjoyed in London...

In conjunction with Sandra Paikowsky, we are delighted to make the following presentation of paintings by John Fox. The career of John Fox spans over 50 years and can be divided into 3 overlapping phases: figuration, abstraction and refiguration. A life-long resident of Montreal, his extensive stays in Paris, Florence...

In Canadian art, the number of collectible artists is limited and, at least as concerns the 19th Century greats and those up to the pre-World War ll period, their most celebrated works have generally long been in the collections of the major museums, never to return to the marketplace. The...

It is my opinion that a gallery which provides a genuine and market respected expertise is a gallery that serious collectors should pursue to assist in the vetting of their art collection. The only obvious alternatives that comes to mind as I write these musings is that if the venue...
