Over more than 50 years three generations of Klinkhoffs have dealt directly with some of the most important Canadian artists including [[A.Y. Jackson]], [[Arthur Lismer]], [[Edwin Holgate]], [[Marc-Aurele Fortin]], Kathleen Morris and Robert Pilot, to name a selection. Three of the artists mentioned above were members (two were founding members) of Canada's foremost art movement, The [[Group of Seven]]. Kathleen Morris was a founding member of the now famous [[Beaver Hall Hill Group]], which, The [[Montreal Gazette]] has written, Galerie Walter Klinkhoff was "instrumental in introducing to the public." The Klinkhoff also has internationally recognized expertise in the works of the 19th century Canadian artists, the Canadian impressionists, and the various modern and contemporary movements of the 20th century.
