NextImg:Seller hoped for 'a little bit more' than $290K in Toronto auction of painting he got for $50

Allen Treibitz never expected to retire off the proceeds of an auction for a painting by celebrated Canadian artist Emily Carr that he found in a barn and purchased for $50 this summer.

But in an interview with the National Post, the New York-based dealer admits he was hoping Carr’s 1912 painting “Masset, Q.C.I., Oil on canvas,” would fetch more than the $290,000 Canadian it sold for during Heffel Fine Art Auction House’s fall sale Wednesday night in Toronto.
