Globe and Mail Article : Canadian Treasure Comes Home

November 6th, 2009 :: Articles, Canadian Art History, Collecting Fine Art, In The News

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.
