W. Allan Manford, Canadian Art Collector
A number of paintings in the Sotheby’s Canadian Art Sale on June 2, 2010 are from the collection of W. Allan Manford, a Toronto art collector. His remarkable taste, insistence on quality, and determination to uncover major works reflected a passion for Canadian art that contributed to what might have been the finest private collection of paintings by the Group of Seven and their contemporaries in the country.
