As spring art auctions smash records around the globe, some coveted Canadian works are hitting the block
The pandemic may have curbed travel, entertaining and dining out, but it boosted the sales of art globally. A large part of that was online bidding, which many auction houses were forced to accelerate. Being able to participate, in real time, from anywhere, has opened up the pool of bidders and brought new awareness of important works to international buyers. Christie’s live-streamed auctions this month drew 3.7 million viewers worldwide, who watched 27 sales records smashed.
“Anytime that you can make it easier for people from across Canada and around the world to simply log in and bid from home, that’s a pretty powerful tool,” says Heffel.
