Signed original artwork, delivered to Longueuil from our Montréal galleries.
Resell at a fair price, without the auctions
Major international auction houses and local salerooms alike charge high fees on both sides (seller and buyer) and guarantee no outcome; consumer platforms like Facebook Marketplace expose you to unqualified buyers, scams and rock-bottom prices. With L'Original, your work is first evaluated and authenticated, then shown to real collectors, including via Artsy, the global art-market showcase, while keeping control over your reserve price.
Evaluation and authenticity guaranteed by experts
Every piece proposed for resale in Longueuil is reviewed by our evaluators: market estimate, provenance and authenticity checks. You know exactly what you hold and what it's worth before any sale.
An international network of buyers
Your work isn't limited to the local Longueuil market: our collector network spans Canada, France and the United States, right next to our Old Montréal and Plateau galleries. More qualified buyers means a better price for your patrimony.
Are you the artist? Sell your work and join the gallery
Looking to sell your own paintings in Longueuil and exhibit in a gallery? There are several ways to sell your art: online marketplaces like Artsy offer a global showcase and strong visibility to collectors; the most reputable galleries in North America bring credibility, guidance and a network of serious buyers. L'Original combines both, a recognised physical gallery in Montréal and an online shop, right next to our Old Montréal and Plateau galleries.
For an artist, joining a gallery like L'Original means access to qualified collectors, exhibitions and a fairer share of every sale than the classic commission (often 40–60%). You can apply as an artist and present your work directly.
Reselling in Longueuil
Artwork resale goes through Montreal auction houses, minutes from the South Shore.
In Longueuil, resale often goes through houses like IEGOR, Hôtel des encans and BYDealers, or Facebook Marketplace, with high fees or scam risks. L'Original evaluates and authenticates your piece, then resells it via Artsy and its international network, without auctions.

Founder of L'Original · HEC academic author on the democratization of art
Dorian Verdier founded the first gallery of its kind in North America and has spent ten years making original art accessible. His academic work at HEC focuses on the democratization of art, the same conviction that guides every collection on L'Original.
Send us photos (front, back, signature, details) and any known information (artist, dimensions, provenance). Our experts get back to you with an estimate and the next steps.
Which works do you accept for resale?
Primarily works by blue-chip or recognised artists, and pieces in sought-after styles (street art, contemporary, abstract…). If in doubt, submit your piece, the evaluation will tell.
Is it better than auctions?
Often yes: no buyer's premium dragging down the net price, no unsold fees, and a private sale within a targeted network, right next to our Old Montréal and Plateau galleries.
I'm the artist: how do I sell my work and join the gallery?
If you are the author of the works, don't resell them, exhibit them. Apply as an artist with L'Original to sell your paintings in Longueuil through our Montréal gallery and online shop, like Artsy and the major North American galleries, but with a fairer share.
