Oil on beaverboard painting by Maud Lewis. The Goold horse crock and an Edouard Leon Cortes oil painting will headline the Saturday, October 12th online-only Canadiana auction, one featuring the Wendy B. Hamilton and late Bill Hamilton collection, plus the Rutter family collection, starting at 9 am Eastern time. The 373-lot auction will feature furniture, decoys, pottery and stoneware, Canadiana and coin banks, mostly Canadian in origin. The Maud Lewis and Joe Norris paintings are the expected top lots in the next day's online-only Canadian Folk Art auction, on Sunday, October 13th, boasting 243 lots of folk art and decoys, also starting at 9 am Eastern. Bidders can participate in real time in both auctions via the live webcast as the auctions close in lot order starting at 9 am. Phone and absentee bids are accepted. "Wendy and the late Bill Hamilton were meticulous lifetime collectors whose interests ranged from Canadiana and early lighting to quality cast iron banks," said Ethan Miller of Miller & Miller Auctions, Ltd., adding, "The Rutter family collection, synonymous with quality, includes a documented fraktur work by Anna Weber. Bidders will be impressed with both collections." The expected top lot of the two days is – no surprise here – Maud Lewis's oil on beaverboard painting titled Train Station in Winter (1960-1961). Ms. Lewis's works have been featured in past Miller & Miller auctions, always with impressive results. This framed work, artist signed with a board size of 17 ½ inches by 13 ½ inches, is a bustling image depicting women in hoop skirts and muffs and men in towering top hats, reminiscent of mid-19th century Canada. It pops with color, yet the admirer is easily mesmerized by its simplicity (est. $30,000-$40,000, Canadian dollars). Internet bidding will be through www.MillerandMillerAuctions.com, plus the popular bidding platform LiveAuctioneers.com. In-gallery previews will be held Thursday and Friday, October 10th and 11th, from 9 am until 5 pm Eastern time each day in the Miller & Miller showroom, located at 59 Webster Street in New Hamburg, Ontario.
