LOOK Art Auction

May 13 – June 11, 2022

EXPLORE THE AUCTION

Visit givergy.ca/look2022 to explore the live auction items or start bidding on an incredible selection of silent auction items.

We are thrilled to present LOOK, an art auction featuring works from many of the country’s most significant artists, generously donated for our annual live and silent art auctions. With painting, sculpture, and photography spanning decades of practice, the auction includes a wide diversity of artwork by renowned artists such as Kent Monkman, Angela Grossmann, Edward Burtynsky, Carol Wainio, Ted Godwin, Joane Cardinal-Schubert, John Hall, Diana Thorneycroft, Corri-Lynn Tetz and many more. We are also honoured to feature the work of Cathy Daley, Harry Kiyooka and Mary Shannon Will, three much beloved artists who passed away recently but leave a lasting legacy.

The LOOK art auction is sponsored by Heather Bala Edwards & kd lang, and supported by Deborah Herringer Kiss as auction chair. We are pleased to welcome Brett Sherlock, Christie’s International Consultant, as auctioneer, who will help us find loving homes for the incredible works on display. LOOK would not be possible without the extraordinary support of the artists and the many dealers, sponsors, committee members, donors and collectors who recognize the value of arts and culture and the importance of philanthropy. All proceeds from the LOOK art auction directly support public programming and exhibitions at Contemporary Calgary.
