Abstraction: Paintings, Drawings, Prints and Sculpture from the Permanent Collection
An exhibition of approximately 60 works by Canadian, American, and European artists from the 1950s to the 1970s, a period when abstraction achieved its fullest expression in the visual arts. Drawn from the Gallery's Permanent Collection, the exhibition presented a wide range of abstract and semi-abstract work, which included examples of abstract expressionism, cubist-influenced work, and organic and hard-edged abstraction. Seen in the context of the present day revival of figuration and the return to recognizable imagery, the exhibition was a look back at non-objective art-making by some of its most important practitioners.
