The Vendu–Sold benefit auction raises funds to support Les éditions Esse in its dissemination of contemporary art. Vendu–Sold 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.
To guarantee the quality of the event and the works up for auction, Vendu–Sold calls on the expertise of an accomplished selection committee. Now known as an essential event on the contemporary-art calendar, Vendu–Sold has provided an opportunity for many art lovers to explore a new passion for collecting, and for others to enhance their collections. Through their acquisitions they have reconfirmed their invaluable commitment to supporting artists and enabling Esse to continue its efforts to promote contemporary art.
Les éditions Esse extends its warmest thanks to its loyal partners, the artists, and gallery owners for their generous collaboration, and each person who participates in the Vendu–Sold benefit auction.
