AGH Members Only Cowley Abbott Fine Art Presentation

5:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Saturday, February 3, 2024

AGH Members Only

Location: Art Gallery of Hamilton

We cordially invite you and a guest to a special Members event.

The AGH is thrilled to present this exclusive opportunity for all Members in partnership with Cowley Abbott Fine Art Auctioneers.

Mix and mingle with fellow members and learn more from Rob Cowley about the sale of the most valuable Canadian Art collection ever sold at auction. This exceptional collection was the highest single owner auction in Canadian history grossing $36.6 million! The talk will highlight the process of acquiring the impressive collection, the research and cataloging as well as the reasons why this collection was so well received by the market. Following the talk, there will be a chance for a short Q&A with Cowley Abbott associates.

Connect with other active AGH Members while enjoying light food offerings, refreshments, and a cash bar.

5PM | Doors Open Mix and Mingle

The AGH Shop will also be open and Members will receive a special bonus discount of 20% off almost everything in store.

Cowley Abbott bridges the gap between traditional art auction services and the online fine art marketplace. With dedicated preview and gallery space, regular art auctions, and partnerships with national art experts, they provide both buyers and sellers of Canadian Art a unique and effective set of services which marry the traditional methods of promoting artwork and innovative means of building a collection.
