About us
To know more on the historical background and the vision of Cosner Galleries of Montreal.
Cosner Art Gallery historic
Robert Tremblay, owner of the Cosner Gallery began his career 30 years ago. At the time, the company was specialized in the sale and purchase of Canadian and Quebec antiques. Over time, Mr. Tremblay was able to improve his knowledge in the Canadian visual arts, hence becoming an expert in the field. For many years, he was chairman and auctioneer of the l’Hôtel des Ventes Universelles, the ancestory company of Cosner Auction. The auctions were first held at the Capitole de Québec and the Ritz-Carlton Montreal, for many years to follow they took place in the ballrooms of the Windsor Hotel in Montreal.
Since 2011 Cosner Auction became the Cosner Art Gallery with the main focus of selling and buying Canadian art. Located in prime locations of downtown Montreal, the gallerie present works by Quebec and Canadian artists from private collections and estates. Giving our clients the chance to see and purchase unique paintings that have long been hidden from the public.
June 2016, Galerie Cosner inaugurated a second gallery in the prestigious Ritz-Carlton Hotel Montreal. Respecting the highest standards associated with this monument, this art gallery offers a remarkable selection of artworks by Canadian masters.
Our mission and vision
Our desire is to inform, guide and create a bond of trust between collectors and galleries. The management of a collection of paintings can be hazardous, that is why our team is present both for the acquisition of works of art, the evaluation and an accompaniment when it is time to dispose of them.
Our role is to help the customer find the right work of art whether it is a first acquisition or to complete a collection without the pressure that another client is bidding. It is thus assured to find a high quality of paintings available. A gallery's commitment to its client is to help them make an informed choice. The collection thus built over time is in the image of the customer and can thus have an aesthetic, historical and complementary sense.
