DAVID BLACKWOOD (1941 - )AUTOBIOGRAPHY: FACESSTEEL ENGRAVING; SIGNED, DATED 1969, TITLED AND INSCRIBED 7/2522" x 32" - 55.9 x 81.3 cm.Provenance:The Cemp Collection, Montreal, QCNote:DAVID BLACKWOOD (1941 - )"While talent and hard work might prove sufficient to get you through art school, survival as an artist in our contemporary world demands much more. To produce anything of lasting value requires a strong belief and love for what you do, and great patience. Establishing ones identity as a serious artist takes time, and then it requires fortitude to maintain that identity with any kind of integrity."- David Blackwood -David Blackwood is one of Canadas best printmakers. His intaglio prints, rendered in black and indigo, most often depict dramatic historical scenes of Newfoundland outport life and industry. David Blackwood was born in 1941 in the outport community of Wesleyville, Newfoundland, to a family with a long seafaring history. In 1956, at the age of fifteen, he opened his own studio, producing award-winning artwork. Recognized as an artistic prodigy, he was awarded a Government of Newfoundland Centennial scholarship to study at the ON College of Art , in Toronto in 1959. Blackwood graduated with honors in 1963, and received several awards, including a traveling scholarship to visit major museums and galleries in United States. By the age of twenty-three, one of his etchings had been purchased by the National Gallery of Canada. Blackwood remained in ON for several years. He became Art Master at Trinity College School, Port Hope, ON one day per week, which allowed him to teach and continue studio work. It was during this period that Blackwood developed one of the largest thematically linked series of prints in Canadian history,The Lost Party, which focussed on the S.S. Newfoundland sealing disaster of 1914. Blackwood also was involved with establishing an art gallery at Erindale College, an affiliate of the University of Toronto. In 1992 the Blackwood Gallery, named in his honour, was officially opened at the Erindale campus, now known as The University of Toronto in Mississauga. In 1969, he was appointed the first Artist-in-Residence at Erindale College, a position which he held until 1975. In 1974, the National Film Board of Canada produced the documentary Blackwood, which won 10 international awards, and was nominated by The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences (Oscar) in1976 for Best documentary.Blackwood has extensively exhibited his work both internationally as well as throughout Newfoundland and Canada. In addition to being part of the Art Gallery of Newfoundland and Labradors Permanent Collection, Blackwoods art is included in various private and public collections such as the National Gallery of Canada; the National Gallery of Australia; Uffizi, Florence, Italy; and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. Blackwood was awarded the Order of Canada in 1993, in recognition of his ongoing and important contributions to the cultural life and heritage of our country. The Art Gallery of ON acquired a major collection of Blackwood prints in 2000 and created a Blackwood Research Center within the Marvin Gelber Print and Drawing Center. In 2003, Blackwood was awarded the Order of ON, as well as named Honorary Chairman of the Art Gallery of ON, a first for a practicing artist.David Blackwood has retired from teaching and currently lives in Port Hope, ON, while maintaining a studio in Wesleyville, Newfoundland.Selected Private and Corporate CollectionsAmerican Anaconda BrassArt Gallery of AgleamArt Gallery of Newfoundland & LabradorArt Gallery of Nova ScotiaArt Gallery of ONArt Gallery of PeterboroughBank of CanadaBank of MontréalBank of Nova ScotiaBeaverbrook Art GalleryBenson & HedgesBlackwood Gallery, University of TorontoBrantford Art GalleryBurnaby Art GalleryClaridge Collection, Montreal, QCCanada Council CollectionCanada TrustCanadian High Commission, LondonCanadian PacificChase Manhattan BankCiticorp - First National BankConfederation Art GalleryDupont CanadaEdmonton Art GalleryErnst & YoungFidelity InvestmentsFinex Capital CorporationGovernment of Canada - External AffairsGovernment of Newfoundland & LabradorGovernment of ONGulf OilHamilton Art GalleryHart House, University of TorontoHer Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II (Windsor Castle)Horizon HolidaysHumber CollegeImperial OilJonathans of OakvilleKaiser ResourcesLabatts LimitedLambton Art GalleryLaurentian UniversityLe Banque National du CanadaLondon Regional Art GalleryMacDonald Stewart CollectionMcGill UniversityMcMaster University Art GalleryMemorial University Art GalleryMontréal Museum of Fine ArtsNational Capital Commission: Canadiana FundNational Gallery of AustraliaNational Gallery of CanadaNew Brunswick MuseumNorcen Energy ResourcesNorthumberland Art GalleryON Institute for Studies in EducationON Ministry of EducationOregon State University, The Cornvallis CollectionPetro CanadaPrinceton University, Princeton, New JerseyQueens University, The Agnes Etherington GalleryRothmansRoyal Bank of CanadaShell CanadaSimon Fraser University, VancouverSir Wilfred Grenfell College Art Gallery, Corner Brook, NLSNC LavalinSpelling ProductionsSt. Marys University, HalifaxTeleglobe CanadaTempleton ManagementThe Uffizi, Florence, ItalyToronto-Dominion BankTrent UniversityTurner BroadcastingUniversity of AlbertaUniversity of British Columbia: Belkin GalleryUniversity of Calgary: Nickel MuseumUniversity of MaineUniversity of SaskatchewanUniversity of TorontoUniversity of Western ON: MacIntosh GalleryUniversity of WindsorVancouver Art GalleryWilliam Mercer Ltd.Winnipeg Art GalleryYork-Finch HospitalSelected Solo Exhibitions2013David Blackwood: Works on Paper - Etchings, Mixed Media & Watercolors, Winchester Galleries, Victoria, BC2012Black Ice and Back in the Day, The Rooms, St. Johns, NFL 2011Black Ice, Art Gallery of ON, Toronto, ON - David Blackwoods Black Ice Exhibition at the AGO 2010Illumination: Ephraim Kelloways Door, Abbozzo Gallery, Oakville, ON2009Recent Watercolours(Interiors and Landscapes), Winchester Gallery, Victoria, British Columbia2008 A Form of Meditation, New Watercolours, Emma Butler Gallery, St. Johns, NFL2007Recent Etchings and Related Works, Abbozzo Gallery, Oakville, ONRecent Watercolours, (Interiors and Landscapes), Winchester Gallery, (Oak Bay), Victoria, BC2006Near and Far, Abbozzo Gallery, Oakville, ON2005 Flowers for Shiromani, Emma Butler Gallery, St. Johns, Newfoundland The Seabird Hunters, Michael Gibson Gallery, London, ONOutport Relics and Related Works, Abbozzo Gallery, Oakville, ON2004Down on the Labrador, Abbozzo Gallery, Oakville, ON Winchester Gallery, Victoria, BC2003The Mummers Veil, Abbozzo Gallery, Oakville, ON Drawings to Etchings, Michael Gibson Gallery, London, ONGo Figure, Abbozzo Gallery, Oakville, ON 10th Anniversary Exhibition, Abbozzo Gallery, Oakville, ON Water, Abbozzo Gallery, Oakville, ON2002Explorations and Discoveries: The International Code, Michael Gibson Gallery, London, ON Fire Down on the Labrador: The Creative Process, Art Gallery of ONBragg's Island Revisited Abbozzo Gallery, Oakville, ON2001 The International Code, Abbozzo Gallery, Oakville, ON2000 Visits and Discoveries Abbozzo Gallery, Oakville, ONImportant Early Etchings, Gallery One, Toronto, ONThe David Blackwood Exhibition, The Marine Museum of the Great Lakes, Kingston, ONDavid Blackwood: Signal Flags, Edward Day Gallery, Kingston, ON1999 Monotypes 1990-1999, The Emma Butler Gallery, St. Johns, NewfoundlandA Survey of Prints 1990-1999, Gallery One, Toronto, ONDavid Blackwood Survey Exhibition 1980-1990, organized by the Blackwood Gallery, University of Toronto at Mississauga and circulated to: The Montréal Museum of Fine Arts;

Terms & Conditions

All lots are sold "AS IS". Any description issued by the auctioneer of an article to be sold is subject to variation to be posted or announced verbally in the auction room prior to the time of sale. While the auctioneer has endeavoured not to mislead in the description issued, and the utmost care is taken to ensure the correct cataloguing of each item, such descriptions are purely statements of opinion and are not intended to constitute a representation to the prospective purchasers and no warranty of the correctness of such description is made. An opportunity for inspection of each article is offered prior to the time of sale. No sale will be set aside on account of lack of correspondence of the article with its description or its reproduction, if any, whether colour or black & white. Some lots are of an age and/or nature which preclude their being in pristine condition and some catalogue descriptions make reference to damage and/or restoration. The lack of such a reference does not imply that a lot is free from defects nor does any reference to certain defects imply the absence of others. Frames on artwork are not included as part of purchase or condition. It is the responsibility of prospective purchasers to inspect or have inspected each lot upon which they wish to bid, relying upon their own advisers, and to bid accordingly.

Each lot sold is subject to a premium of 20% of the successful bid price of each lot up to and including $50,000 and 15% on any amount in excess of $50,000 as part of the purchase price. Invaluable Live! clients will be charged a buyer's premium of 23% of the successful bid price of each lot up to and including $50,000 and 18% on any amount in excess of $50,000 as part of the total purchase price.

A charge of 13% HST (Harmonized Sales Tax) is applicable on the hammer price and buyer's premium, except for purchases exported from Canada. In the case where purchases are shipped out of the province of Ontario, the HST or GST (Goods and Services
Tax) is charged based on the tax status of that province.

The auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any lot from sale at any time, to divide any lot or to combine any two or more lots at his sole discretion, all without notice.
The auctioneer has the right to refuse any bid and to advance the bidding at his absolute discretion. The auctioneer reserves the right not to accept and not to reject any bid. Without limitation, any bid which is not commensurate with the value of the article offered, or which is merely a nominal or fractional advance over the previous bid may not be recognized.

Each lot may be subject to an unpublished reserve which may be changed at any time by agreement between the auctioneer and the consignor. The auctioneer may bid, or direct an employee to bid, on behalf of the consignor as agreed between them. In addition, the auctioneer may accept and submit absentee and telephone bids, to be executed by an employee of the auctioneer, pursuant to the instructions of prospective purchasers not in attendance at the sale.

The highest bidder accepted by the auctioneer for any lot shall be the buyer and such buyer shall forthwith assume full risk and responsibility for the lot and must comply with such other Conditions of Sale as may be applicable. If any dispute should arise between bidders the auctioneer shall have the absolute discretion to designate the buyer or, at his option, to withdraw any disputed lot from the sale, or to re-offer it at the same or a subsequent sale. The auctioneer's decision in all cases shall be final.
Immediately after the purchase of a lot, the buyer shall pay or undertake to the satisfaction of the auctioneer with respect to payment of the whole or any part of the purchase price requested by the auctioneer, failing which the auctioneer in his sole discretion may cancel the sale, with or without re-offering the item for sale.
The buyer shall pay for all lots within 48 hours from the date of the sale, after which a late charge of 2% per month on the total invoice may be incurred or
the auctioneer, in his sole discretion, may cancel the sale. The buyer shall not become the owner of the lot until paid for in full. Items must be removed
within 10 days from the date of sale , after which storage charges may be incurred.

Each lot purchased, unless the sale is cancelled as above, shall be held by the auctioneer at his premises or at a public warehouse at the sole risk of the
buyer until fully paid for and taken away.

Notwithstanding condition no. 1, if the buyer, prior to removal of a lot, makes arrangements satisfactory to the auctioneer for the inspection of such lot by a fully qualified person acceptable to the auctioneer to determine the genuineness or authenticity of the lot, to be carried out promptly following the sale of the lot, and if, but only if, within a period of 14 days following the sale a written opinion of such person is presented to the auctioneer to the effect that the lot is not genuine or authentic, accompanied by a written request by the buyer for rescission of the sale, then the sale of the lot will be rescinded and the sale price refunded to the buyer.

Payment for purchases must be by cash, INTERAC direct debit (Cdn clients in person only), certified cheque (U.S. & Overseas not applicable), travelers
cheque, bank draft, electronic transfer (fee applies), and VISA, Mastercard (up to $25,000). As Waddington's requires written
authorization for all credit card purchases, credit cards must be presented in person by the cardholder and therefore cannot be accepted over the
telephone. However, fax authorization arrangements can be made.

In the event of failure to pay for or remove articles within the aforementioned time limit, the auctioneer, without limitation of the rights of the consignor and the auctioneer against the buyer, may resell any of the articles affected, and in such case the original buyer shall be responsible to the auctioneer and the consignor for:
(a) any deficiency in price between the re-sale amount and the
amount to have been paid by the original buyer;
(b) any reasonable charge by the auctioneer for the storage of such
articles until payment and removal by the subsequent buyer; and
(c) the amount of commission which the auctioneer would have
earned had payment been made in full by the original buyer.

It is the responsibility of the buyer to make all arrangements for insuring, packing and removing the property purchased and any assistance by the
auctioneer or his servants, agents or contractors, in packing or removal shall be rendered as a courtesy and without any liability to them.

The auctioneer acts solely as agent for the consignor and makes no representation as to any attribute of, title to, or restriction affecting the articles consigned for sale. Without limitation, the buyer understands that any item bought may be affected by the provisions of the Cultural Property Export Act (Canada).
The auctioneer reserves the right to refuse admission to the sale or to refuse to recognize any or all bids from any particular person or persons at any auction.
