Description:

Join Agnes for a Members-only valuation and lecture event!

Following the success of Bring Your Thing: AGNES Roadshow this past summer, experts from Auction House Cowley Abbott are back in Kingston to valuate your Canadian or International artworks. Sign up to book a time slot for a free valuation between 2:30-4:30 pm, or join us for a reception and lecture starting at 4:30 pm (or both!).

Rob Cowley, President of Cowley Abbott, as well as Owner & Partner and auctioneer for the firm, will present a talk discussing the Canadian Auction Industry. The talk will include an overview on the auction house and its history over the last decade, and then will dive into auction stories of exciting, rare artworks that have been offered and sold at auction. Various collections, both private and public, that Cowley Abbott has handled at auction will be highlighted, while discussing the secondary auction market in general and the Canadian art world. Rob will happily answer any questions at the close of the talk.
