Notable patronsCotton Aimers' bibliography and catalogue raisonné Gordon E. Pfeiffer in collaboration with the painter himself documents a rich source of art dealers and patrons that have supported Pfeiffer throughout his career. Corinne "Coco" Dupuis-MailletDupuis-Maillet is described as a fellow-artist that helped Pfeiffer break into the Montreal artistic community as he moved to Westmount in the mid-Forties. She would take him under her wings and purchase dozens of his paintings and make the introductions he needed to get noticed.[7] Max Stern (Dominion Gallery of Fine Art)Dr. Max Stern of the landmark Dominion Gallery of Fine Art (1941–2000) in Montreal was one Pfeiffer's earliest supporters during the phase of his life when he started painting landscapes.[8] In the Max Stern Collection, a collection of items bequested at Dr. Stern's death to a joint collaborative effort between Concordia University and McGill University is a copy of Pfeiffer's biography and catalogue raisonné entitled Gordon E. Pfeiffer by Cotton Aimers. It contained a business card laid in of Dr. W. M. Pfeiffer. It is unclear what relation Dr. W. M. Pfeiffer had to Gordon Pfeiffer.[9] Major Institutions and CorporationsCotton Aimers documents that as Pfeiffer established himself as an artist in the Sixties, large corporations such as Hydro-Québec, Industrial Acceptance Corporation, Kilborn Engineering (now a part of SNC-Lavalin) and Molson Brewery (now Molson-Coors) started acquiring his works for their boardrooms. Andrew Sidney Dawes purchased ten of his paintings and presented them to McGill University. The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts also owns one of his paintings. Other notable patrons
