Our Winter 2024 Newsletter is now available to read! Catch up on all of the exciting developments and achievements we have had over the past auction season.

2023 was truly a remarkable year for Cowley Abbott. We are proud to announce that we grossed over $36 million and set an impressive 29 auction records with the Important Private Collection of Canadian Art. This collection showcased some of the most rare Canadian masterpieces to come to auction and attracted art enthusiasts from all over the world. 

Tonight! It is finally time for our two-session Live Auction of Important Canadian and International Art!

The Cowley Abbott team could not be more excited to present these artworks for sale this evening @globeandmailcentre. It has been a privilege to handle these works of art and share them with collectors, clients and art lovers.

Join us tonight in-person at Toronto’s Globe & Mail Centre or livestream the two auction sessions from home.
