ART TORONTO / 2016 Review

It's the Art Gallery and 'Artists Coming Out' event of the year.

I have heard conflicting reports of the event and this article by Leah Sandals sums it up nicely. A few new emerging artists are making some waves with sales, along with quite a bit of art on the secondary market. I was wondering if Art Galleries selling in the secondary market offered the Artists a percentage on the resale of these pieces? No mention of it in the article. CARFAC National has been lobbying the Government and Auction Houses in Canada to legislate the 'Artists Resale Right' similar to what is set up in the UK and parts of Europe. 

It is probably best to follow this link to read the full article in it's entirety. ART TORONTO REPORT.
