On their many trips throughout Canada, Lawrence and Linda Laing became enthralled by the colours, the presentation, and the simplicity of folk art. They purchased most of their collection directly from the artists whom they also learned to love. Jim Fleming is a former Canadian Broadcaster and Member of the House of Commons whose search for Canada’s best folk art began in the 1970s. Much of what he offers in this sale is fully documented. Beloved Toronto Optometrist Marty Osler could easily be considered Canadiana’s poster child. Osler’s contributions to this sale come from deep within his mineshaft of trappings. Ranging from splint baskets to outsider art, they will delight and surprise collectors. Since Susan Murray’s 2007 Canadian/US tour of The Beaverbrook Art Gallery, her Collection and name was immortalized. With a line-up of artists ranging from Maud Lewis, Joseph Sleep, and Mose Tolliver, as well as documented Canadiana and folk art from the great collections mentioned, this is not a sale to be missed.
