Vendu — Sold
Insights into collecting and the art market

Vendu — Sold coincides with Les éditions esse’s first auction. The publication brings together the work of thirty-two artists and texts by nine specialists who, in the course of their work, have had to reflect on the issue of collections and the art market. Vendu — Sold helps understand main evolutionary trends in this market, both in Canada and abroad.
