The Vendu–Sold benefit auction raises funds to support Les éditions Esse in its dissemination of contemporary art. The event offers collectors the opportunity to acquire works by well-known Canadian artists, while contributing to the financing of Esse magazine. Part of the proceeds also go to the participating artists.

The 16th edition of Vendu–Sold took place from September 9 to 21, 2025, on the website of BYDealers Auction House. An exhibition bringing together the 44 artworks was presented simultaneously at the Guido Molinari Foundation.

Discover here our honorary president, Marie Pier Germain, the members of the selection committee, the word from our host, Marie-Eve Beaupré, the word from the Chair of the Board of Directors, Annie Gérin, and the word from the director, Sylvette Babin.

Les éditions Esse extends its warmest thanks to its loyal partners, the artists, and gallery owners for their generous collaboration.
