Emily Carr's Masset, Q.C.I., long hidden away, is a Colourful and Commanding Depiction of a Bear-Capped Totem Pole, reflecting the Rich Indigenous Heritage of British Columbia's Haida Gwaii—a Subject the Artist was renowned for. Purchased for just US$50 by Allen Treibitz at a Barn Sale in the Hamptons, where it may have ended up during Carr's Visits to a Friend in the Area, the Painting had remained Unknown to the Art World for over a Century. Now, the Commanding 1912 Canvas is finally making its Homecoming to Canada, marking a Pivotal Moment in Carr's Legacy.

The Painting's Rarity, combined with the Extraordinary Story of its Rediscovery, has ignited the Imagination of Collectors, Enthusiasts and those far beyond the Fine Art Community (est. $100,000 – 200,000). Heffel is proud to offer Five Important Works by Carr in the Upcoming Sale, spanning Important Periods of her Storied Artistic Career.

"Masset, Q.C.I. is truly a Blockbuster Discovery, adding a Remarkable New Chapter to Emily Carr's Legacy," said David Heffel, President of Heffel Fine Art Auction House. "To see a Work of this Significance Resurface after spending a Century Hidden Away is a Once-In-A-Lifetime Event. Its Return to Canada is more than a Homecoming—it's a Celebration of our Cultural Heritage, and the Excitement surrounding it is Absolutely Electric."
