Love this Lawren Harris

"Another highlight of the early session was Lawren Harris’s Northern Image (1952), which easily topped its high estimate of C$550,000, selling for a hammer price of C$850,000, or just over C$1m with fees ($750,000). According to a Heffel spokesperson, that result set a record for a Harris abstraction at auction. At a 2016 Heffel sale, Harris’s 1926 canvas Mountain Forms set a new Canadian art market standard when it was knocked down at a whopping C$11.2m ($8.3m)."
