Donald R. Sobey Estate to Sell Peter Doig Painting to Benefit Indigenous Artists
The estate of Canadian philanthropist Donald R. Sobey, who died in March at the age of 86, is selling Peter Doig‘s 1991 painting Hill Houses (Green Version) at auction this fall for charity. The painting, which depicts a cabin, is expected to sell for £3.5 million–4.5 million ($4.8 million–$6.2 million) at Christie’s, where it will be offered during a modern and contemporary art evening sale on October 15 in London. Sobey, the heir to a grocery store fortune, established an endowment fund to support Canadian artists exhibited at the Venice Biennale and was a two-term chairman of the board of trustees at Canada’s National Gallery of Art. He founded the Sobey Art Award, which is given annually to Canadian contemporary artists. Proceeds from the sale of Doig’s painting will support the exhibition of work by contemporary Indigenous artists from Canada.
