We have been selling Canadian & international art since our start in 1983. Hodgins is Alberta’s most established and trusted art auction company.
Hodgins Art Auctions Ltd. holds the auction record for many of Canada’s finest artists including Ernest Lindner at $ 35,200 and Alan Collier at $ 19,800. An American painting by Martin Johnson Heade sold for $ 935,000 – after a local area gentleman brought the painting in to see “if it had any value”!
Hodgins Art Auctions Ltd. works with charities throughout Alberta. We assist with fund-raisers and help arrange charitable donations to approximately a dozen causes annually. These have included Foothills Hospital Foundation, Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada, Muttart Art Gallery, United Way of Calgary, Achieve, The Banff Centre, Care West, Inn From the Cold and Rotary.
Hodgins Art Auctions Ltd. has sold several high profile artists' estates including the Estate of Janet Mitchell and the Estate of Stanford Perrott, Head of the Alberta College of Art and Design. Likewise, Hodgins Art Auctions Ltd. has been the auction house of choice for fine art marketing by the elite of Calgary's corporate community. An auction for EnCana in March of 2003 raised $ 600,000 for their corporate wellness program. A sale in January of 2005 saw the collections of FortisAlberta Inc. and Dow Chemical Canada Inc. offered with strong prices overall including $ 121,000 for an Alfred Joseph Casson of the Group of Seven fame that had been an original commission by Dow from the artist in the early 1960's.
