Three Lawren Harris paintings fetch over $3 million at Heffel auction
VANCOUVER — A trio of paintings by Group of Seven member Lawren Harris brought in more than $3 million at an auction in Vancouver on Wednesday night.
The Heffel Fine Art Auction House says Harris’s canvas “Laurentian Landscape” sold for almost $2.2 million, well over the pre-auction estimate of between $1.2 million and $1.6 million.
Heffel says the painting is considered to be “a foundation work for the establishment of the Group of Seven.”
Oil-on-board works “Coldwell, Lake Superior” and “Mount Sampson, Maligne Lake” by Harris fetched $649,000 and $413,000 respectively.
