Jock Langford, Curator
Jock Langford is a long time collector of art from across Canada and around the world. His passion is "hunting" for unique finds. He made a career with the federal government as their expert on intellectual property rights and traditional knowledge from 1987-2013. In this capacity and through consulting with Aboriginal peoples, he began collecting older Inuit stone sculptures and artifacts. As Canada’s lead negotiator on traditional knowledge obligations in the Nagoya Protocol of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity Jock had the opportunity to visit major art museums and hunt for art on 6 continents.

Since this is an online gallery and we do not have a physical location we are able to pass on overhead savings to you in the form of lower prices. We strive to bring you quality art that is also affordable. We are adding new inventory constantly so please check back frequently.
NEW: We are interested in consignments of significant collections of older Inuit art, Bourgault family wood sculptures and contemporary Canadian indigenous art in Ontario and Quebec.
We do NOT offer appraisal services - but feel free to post your pieces on our Facebook page.
