TORONTO (September 10, 2013) The drop of a gavel is being replaced by the press of a button. Buying and selling Canadian fine art is now user-friendly with Consignor Canadian Fine Art (consignor.ca), Canada’s newest auction house that bridges the gap between traditional auction services and online art marketplace. Set to launch its premiere auction event starting September 16 – 25, Consignor.ca will feature more than 60 works of art by Canadian artists including: Joe Fafard, Maud Lewis, John Fox, Bruno Coté, Jesus Carlos de Vilallonga and Doris McCarthy.
As with most industry websites, the Consignor site includes a section which features our professional biographies, however we feel they can often miss some of the funny and interesting facts that really help you get to know someone. We asked Ryan Mayberry to complete the questionnaire below in order to provide some insight into his everyday life.
Last evening we held our grand opening in Toronto. As it was a very busy night in Toronto, including AGO First Thursdays and the opening night of TIFF, we were not sure what to expect.
You know how they say two is company and three is a crowd? Well… 150 is party worth blogging about.

Consignor Canadian Fine Art is a boutique, online auction house with a dedicated preview and gallery space in downtown Toronto – across the street from the Art Gallery of Ontario. It has been an exciting summer for the new team at Consignor. From our initial announcement, to opening our newly-renovated office, and collecting consignments for our upcoming fall auctions, we have been busy! Consignor was created to recognize the shifts in the art market. We believe in combining the tradition, and presentation of the live auction setting, with the innovation and convenience of the online auction experience. We’re the auction company for today’s collector.
