Kinsman Robinson Galleries were founded in 1980 when Diane Kinsman and then-husband Donald Robinson decided to offer their private art collection for sale. Diane Kinsman has a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Toronto. Her ancestors were United Empire Loyalists who founded Van Kleek Hill. Diane was influenced early on by her great aunt's love for early Canadian art.A professional Engineer with a Bachelor of Science from the University of Toronto, and an M.B.A. from McMaster University, Don was inspired by the art collection at Hart House. During the 1970's, Don gradually converted their hobby into a business. As a consultant and private art dealer, he assisted many Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto-area collectors to build significant art collections. While living in Montreal, Diane and Don founded a quarterly newsletter, The Canadian Art Investors Guide. In two years, they developed it into a magazine with nationwide subscription sales. In 1980, publication ceased and the gallery opened in Toronto. Now in their twenty-eighth year in the art business, Kinsman Robinson Galleries have settled into 108 Cumberland Street in the heart of Bloor-Yorkville as their permanent home. Kinsman Robinson Galleries commits to the highest ethical standards in the conduct of business.
