Lawren Harris - Mountain Forms

A mountainscape painting by Group of Seven founder Lawren Harris has become the most
expensive artwork ever to sell at a Canadian auction.

Mountain Forms, a renowned 1926 painting of Alberta's Mount Ishbel in the Sawback
Range of the Rocky Mountains in Banff National Park, sold for $9.5 million at the Heffel
Fine Art Auction House in Toronto Wednesday night.

Including the 18 per cent buyer's premium, which comes out of the winning bidder's
pocket and goes to the auction house, the total price was $11.21 million.

"It deserves to be the record Canadian artwork at auction worldwide," auction house
president David Heffel told CBC News shortly after the sale.

"It was a great moment for Canadian art, for Canadians and for Lawren Harris."

 

Mountain Forms hails from the collection of Imperial Oil, which has reduced its art holdings
in recent years. As part of a streamlining of its corporate collection, the company has donated
works to Canadian galleries and given proceeds from some art auctions to the United
Way and its partners.

It was most recently on loan to The Idea of North: The Paintings of Lawren Harris,
an exhibition co-curated by comedian and art lover Steve Martin.

Pulling together some of Harris's best known works from top museums, galleries and private
collections across Canada, the show debuted at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles
before travelling to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto.
