Canada's Leader in Handling Important Fine Art Estates News Heffel Fine Art Auction House a Proven Leader in Handling Important Estates November 4, 2010 Charles Band, Arthur Erickson, Theodosia Dawes Bond Thornton and Mary Breckenridge are renowned as great Canadian art collectors. In the last two years, Heffel Fine Art Auction House has been selected to represent their estates, establishing Heffel as the go-to auction house for important Canadian estates of art. "It is a humbling honour to be entrusted with works of such national importance," says David Heffel, president of Heffel. "We are fully aware of the significance of the masterpieces in these collections. Many of them are very important to Canadian art historical records and have been featured in major exhibitions and published in catalogues. These works are a part of our collective national art history and we are both privileged and honoured to work with them." The collection of Charles Band was inherited by his daughter Helen E. Band. It contained paintings, drawings and sculpture by some of Canada's finest artists, including Lawren Harris, Emily Carr, Arthur Lismer, A.Y. Jackson, Fred Varley, Henry Moore, B.C. Binning and Harold Town. In the fall of 2009, 15 masterworks from the revered Band family collections were consigned to Heffel. Each piece was carefully researched and detailed biographies of collectors Charles and Helen Band were written. Heffel's catalogues are as meticulous as museum catalogues. "Every time we handle an estate collection we are reminded how fortunate we are," Arthur Lismer remarks Robert Heffel, vice-president of Heffel. "We feel a great sense of respect for Small Islands, Georgian Bay both the works and the families. It is not an easy thing to part with revered objects from your family history. Some of these families have lived with these artworks for generations. And while we see them as iconic works, they see them as members of the family." In the spring of 2010, seven works from the collection and family of renowned Canadian architect Arthur Erickson were consigned to Heffel. Erickson had developed personal relationships with many artists over the course of his career, buying works from them to add to his collection. Claude Tousignant's oil on canvas from 1974, Double 36 (Mars Phthalocyanine) was estimated at $10,000 to $15,000. When sold, this lot more than doubled its high-end estimate, setting an artist's record of $49,725. Attention to detail and careful handling of all the works entrusted to them established Heffel as estate specialists. This led to the consignment of 36 outstanding works from the Theodosia Dawes Bond Thornton Estate in May of 2010. These works alone realized a combined total of $6.6 million. This fall, 18 further masterworks from the estate have been consigned, including six Lawren Harris works. According to both Robert and David Heffel, Mrs. Thornton's discerning skill in collecting becomes more and more obvious as works continue to come forward. The fall sale offering features Arthur Lismer's lush landscapes, including Reflections, Georgian Bay and Small Islands, Georgian Bay, with both oil on boards estimated at $60,000 to $80,000. It also includes six works by Harris and seven A.Y. Jacksons. Jackson's Jackfish Lake, an oil on panel, circa 1924, is a A.Y. Jackson classic Group of Seven period work. It is estimated at $20,000 to $30,000. Fish Racks, Jackfish Lake Fort Resolution was painted in 1928 on one of Jackson's legendary trips with Dr. Frederick Banting. This oil on panel has a conservative estimate of $20,000 to $25,000. Mrs. Thornton's estate holds some of Canada's finest artworks. Many of these have rarely been seen outside of her collection; their publication in the Heffel catalogue adds a new slate of works to the art historical record. "We are so lucky to work with such great art, often pieces that no one except the artist, the collector and their family and friends have seen before," says David Heffel. "It is a privilege to present such works to Canadians for the first time and we are aware of the honour and great degree of responsibility that comes along with this." Also consigned to the upcoming November 25 auction are works from the Estate of Mary Breckenridge. Two Lawren Harris works from this estate are classic examples of the outstanding works up for sale. Mountain, Baffin Island North, Arctic Sketch XII, an extremely rare 12 x 15 inch oil sketch for North Shore, Baffin Island II - in the collection of the National Gallery of Canada - is estimated at $700,000 to $900,000. The powerful Lake Superior Sketch from circa 1922 to 1923 is the oil sketch for Clouds, Lake Superior, which is in the collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery. It is estimated at $300,000 to $500,000. "The Breckenridge works were collected by John and Ann Breckenridge in the 1930s and 1940s. Dr. Breckenridge and his wife loved the landscape of Canada and felt the works they collected expressed its spirit," says Robert Heffel, "These works are from the estate of Mary Breckenridge, Dr. Breckenridge's second wife. All eight works have been in storage since 2000, when the house was sold after John's second wife, Mary Hewer Breckenridge, moved to a seniors' lodge in Ottawa. We are pleased to see them out on our gallery walls where they can be enjoyed, and to be able to offer them to our collectors." The Breckenridge estate also includes three Franklin Carmichael oil on panels, each estimated at $150,000 to $250,000 and a gorgeous J.E.H. MacDonald oil on board titled Spruce and Maple, Algoma. This work is dated 1920 and has a conservative estimate of $100,000 to $150,000. "Estates are a window into a particular collector, their likes and dislikes, the period in which they collected and the times that shaped their lives," adds Robert Heffel. "They are a fascinating part of the fine art auction industry, and we are proud to take a leading role in the care, expertise and finesse in handling important estates of Canadian J.E.H. MacDonald art." Spruce and Maple, Algoma The Heffel spring 2010 Auction set 13 records and saw $22.2 million in combined sales, a result well past the $12 to $15 million pre-sale estimate. Second only to Heffel's $23 million May 2007 sale, it was the next highest achieving sale in Canadian auction history. This year to date, Heffel is the only auction house to have exceeded the one million dollar mark for a single lot. Heffel Fine Art Auction House has the most experienced team of fine art specialists in the business, providing customers with the best opportunity for maximizing the value of their works. Heffel has national presence with offices and galleries in Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal, and a representative in Calgary. The fall Auction consists of 180 works of art by Canada's greatest painters divided into two sessions. Information and the online version of the sale catalogues can be found at www.heffel.com.

Frederick Varley, Tom Thomson, J.E.H MacDonald, Arthur Lismer, Frank Johnston, and Franklin Carmichael would first meet as employees at the design firm Grip Ltd in Toronto. These six men would come together during and after work discussing bold new directions for Canadian Art, they were joined by A.Y Jackson and Lawren Harris in 1913. With the support of Dr. James MacCallum, an artist and university professor, the group raised money to build the Studio Building for Canadian Art in Toronto. It was there that they would create masterpieces as they discovered the distinct light of the Canadian atmosphere and capture it in bold new ways. The production the group was interrupted as they suffered tragedy when Tom Thomson, one of the founding members died in mysterious circumstances; shortly after, some of the members left to serve in the First World War. It was not until 1920 that the Group of Seven officially formed with their first exhibition in Toronto. Once their popularity grew, the artists began to travel Canada capturing what inspired them. The group shared a like vision concerning art in Canada.

  • A Matter of Abstraction
    A Matter of Abstraction The quest for abstraction plainly influenced developments in contemporary aesthetics in Québec and Canada. This exhibition from the Musée Collection re-examines that quest, which Montréal School artists pursued in a profoundly original way beginning in the early 1940s, simultaneously with the main international movements. The exhibition comprises 104 significant works by fifty-six artists who were among the most important figures in the artistic renewal that took place during these decades of change. The panorama it describes—extending over seventy years, from 1940 to 2010—focuses on Québec works in the Collection. Primarily thematic, the exhibition is laid out chronologically in a historical perspective. It highlights an experience of form and colour firmly rooted in the non-representational and non-verbal, mainly within the aesthetics of painting and sculpture—at times radically different, and continually renewed from the early 1940s on.1 Throughout the exhibition space, which is fluidly organized in ten open Josée Bélisle zones, vantage points are provided on large groups of works as well as on certain single pieces. The division Curator of the Permanent by section immediately sheds light on their diversity and Collection complexity while giving free rein to the expressive power evident in each of them. 1 In “Commentaries on Some Current Anchored both in the present and of the gestural impulse (Marcelle Words,” Paul-Émile Borduas wrote, in history, this exhibition begins Ferron, 1960), deep commitment “Abstract:
