Edmonton woman buys 5,000 oil paintings and hosts massive art sale

Nicole Rice had only seen a handful of the 5,000 oil paintings and 250 gilded frames before making the decision to purchase the storage locker they were kept in.

A collector and interior design by trade, the Edmonton woman said she knows the value of a great oil painting.

“I thought by getting all of these pieces that I would be able to pass that on to other people and make them a reasonable price, so that people can really start their own collections as well,” Rice said.

She thought the best way to kickstart the passion for others was to host a massive art sale this past weekend.
