An incredible discovery has been made in the art world, as a painting purchased for just $50 has been identified as an original work by renowned Canadian artist Emily Carr. The piece, titled “Masset, QCI,” is set to go up for auction next month and is expected to fetch a staggering $147,000.

The painting was stumbled upon by New York art dealer Allen Treibitz, who found it at a summer barn sale in the Hamptons earlier this year. Treibitz immediately recognized the uniqueness of the piece, stating, “You could just tell that painting had something special about it. It definitely had a look, and it was definitely very interesting.”

Upon further inspection, Treibitz discovered that the cool-toned painting was signed and dated by Carr in 1912. Intrigued by his find, he sought advice from Heffel Fine Art Auction House in Canada. David Heffel, the president of the auction house, was quick to confirm that this was indeed a significant discovery, describing it as an “exciting Cinderella discovery.”

Emily Carr, known for her Post-Impressionist style and modern vision of the British Columbia landscape, rose to prominence in the art world in the late 1920s. Her evocative landscapes and depictions of Indigenous iconography played a key role in shaping Canada’s national identity in the early 20th century. “Masset, QCI” specifically showcases a totem pole topped with a carved bear, highlighting Carr’s unique artistic perspective.

The painting is believed to have been gifted by Carr to her friend Nell Cozier in the 1930s, eventually finding its way to a barn in the Hamptons. Now, after being hidden away for so long, the piece will be cleaned and exhibited at Heffel galleries across Canada before being put up for auction.

As we eagerly await the auction of this remarkable piece, we are reminded of the lasting impact and legacy of artists like Emily Carr, whose work continues to inspire and captivate audiences around the world.
