Inuit, First Nations & Métis Art
Waddington’s is internationally recognized as one of the leading authorities in the sale of Inuit and First Nations art. No other auction house has been as intrinsically linked to the development of the market for art by Canada's Indigenous people. From our first landmark auction in 1978 of the William Eccles Collection to our development of the free online resource Katilvik in 2006, Waddington’s has offered tens of thousands of works, set record prices, and helped to expand the audience well beyond Canada’s borders. Our legacy of successful auctions and ability to continually achieve increasing values have played a significant role in elevating Inuit and First Nations art on the global art market.
