There is an excellent photograph and mini-story on the globe and mail today covering a William Kurelek painting that will be part of our annual Historical Canadian Works exhibition next week.

King of the Castle, valued at $300,000, was bought by Winnipeg’s Mayberry Fine Art last year after its unnamed owner in Britain had sought an appraisal of it from the dealer.

Last seen in public in 1990 at Canada House in London as part of an exhibition devoted to work Mr. Kurelek completed in England, King of the Castle will be at the Mayberry dealership Nov. 14-28.

It is with great pleasure that we present our annual exhibition of major Canadian paintings of the 19th and 20th centuries. This year’s collection represents a cross-section of some of Canada’s greatest artists of the past. Each was a creative force, instrumental in shaping the visual arts milieu of their own time. Their contribution continues to influence the art world as we know it today.
