We pioneered online fine art auction sales in Canada.

Since we started our online auctions in 1999, we have set numerous records for online fine art sales for artists such as: Zao Wou-Ki, Sayed Haider Raza, Frants Roubaud, Dorothea Sharp, Edward Seago, Helen Frankenthaler, Alexej Alexejewitsch Charlamoff, Montague J. Dawson, Alfred de Breanski and many others.

Effective July 1, 2008 our Buyer's Premium is 17%.

Important Change of Our Online Auctions

We are introducing an important change to our Online Auctions: multiple sessions.

There will be multiple sessions of our Online Auctions opening at the same time but closing at different times.

The clock at the top of the Online Auction pages will show the remaining auction time only for the first session to close. Once the first session is closed, the clock will show the remaining time for the next session to close.

Frequently Asked Questions

There is an automatic 3 minute bidding extension if a bid is submitted on any lot within the last 3 minutes on the bidding clock. These time extensions will continue to occur until there is a 3 minute period during which no bidding takes place. Our online auction experience now fully emulates our live ballroom auction excitement.

We have built an "Auto Bid" feature to enable you to automatically bid on Lots to your maximum bid. This process is our web version of a live auction "Absentee Bid".
