The Vendu–Sold benefit auction raises funds to support Les éditions Esse in its dissemination of contemporary art. The event offers collectors the opportunity to acquire works by well-known Canadian artists, while contributing to the financing of Esse magazine. Part of the proceeds also go to the participating artists.
The 16th edition of Vendu–Sold will be held from September 9 to 21, 2025, on the website of BYDealers Auction House. An exhibition bringing together the 44 artworks will be presented simultaneously at the Guido Molinari Foundation:
