A treasure trove of Canadian art is hitting the auction block—but not before Vancouverites have a chance to peruse the astounding collection amassed by respected Vancouver-based art dealer Torben Veje Kristiansen, who passed away last year.
From now through April 24, Vancouver’s Heffel Fine Art Auction House presents Legendary: The Collection of Torben V. Kristiansen, featuring a veritable who’s who of Canadian art, including works by Tom Thomson, Jean Paul Riopelle, Lawren Harris, and Alex Colville—as well as some of B.C.’s most iconic household names, like Emily Carr, B.C. Binning, E.J. Hughes, Gordon Smith, and Takao Tanabe.
In a media release, Heffel describes the collection as “one of the most remarkable single-consignor collections ever to grace Canada’s art market.” Among the works featured are Colville’s Swimmer and Sun and Riopelle’s Verts ombreuses (coincidentally, the latter artist is also being celebrated this weekend in a Vancouver Symphony Orchestra multimedia production).
