INDIGENOUS ART AUCTION SESSION II

Buyer's Premium: 

22% (2% discount for payments by cash or debit only - no discount for credit card or e-Transfer payments)

Second session including Inuit stone carvings, stonecut prints, paintings by prominent Canadian Indigenous artists featuring Floyd Kuptana (see below), and much more of equal interest - the full online catalogue will be available by early-November.

SPECIAL NOTE: For the past several years, Gardner Galleries has had the privilege of offering original works by the talented Inuvialuk Canadian artist Floyd Kuptana (1964-2021), which were acquired directly from Tane Art Gallery, Toronto. Floyd painted for Tane the last two years of his life, and also held a major exhibition in 2020. This session features the balance of paintings by Floyd Kuptana from one of the largest known collections of the artist, and the owner of Tane has also provided Gardner's with several images from the original exhibition. Floyd Kuptana was a true master of colour, with a majestic and whimsical feel to his works. We strongly encourage those interested to come by our gallery to view the paintings in person, and take advantage of this final opportunity.

Gardner Galleries is honoured to be handling this collection and thrilled that Floyd is now recognized across Canada and beyond by collectors, galleries and institutions alike, including the permanent collections of Gallery Arcturus, Toronto, The Winnipeg Art Gallery and The Art Gallery of Ontario.

Please see images below from the 2020 exhibition at Tane Gallery, several works of which will be offered in this important auction:
