Fresh off a hit art exhibition spearheaded by Steve Martin, a large-scale mountain scene by Group of Seven founder Lawren Harris is headed for the auction block. Mountain Forms, a commanding 1926 canvas by the Canadian art legend, will be part of the annual fall sale by Heffel Fine Art Auction House this November. Mountain Forms will be sold at Heffel's fall auction in Toronto on Nov. 23. Steve Martin co-curated The Idea of North, which celebrated the art of Group of Seven founder Lawren Harris. His painting Mountain and Glacier set a record price for his work when it sold for $4.6 million by Heffel in November 2015.
