The sale begins a new tradition for Consignor, with live auctions of Important Canadian Art held twice a year, during the spring and fall, surrounded by the schedule of online auctions which the firm has established over the past three years.  In addition to the live auction, this spring will include online auctions of Works on Paper & Prints (February), Canadian & International Artwork (March) and a Second Session of Canadian Art (June), to follow the live sale.

Consignor Specialist and President Rob Cowley provides, “It is with great excitement that we announce our first live auction of Important Canadian Art this spring. Through careful consideration and feedback from our clientele, we decided that it was time to begin this new chapter for Consignor. I am greatly looking forward to taking the podium in May and myself, Lydia, Ryan and our team are delighted to have the opportunity to continue to provide collectors with a unique and competitive series of services which place a strong focus upon the balance of traditional service and innovation.”

The consignment deadline for the live auction will be in mid-March and Consignor is currently viewing artwork for consideration for this inaugural event, as well as the schedule of online auctions approaching in the coming months.
