Art Toronto Success

---

This last weekend we had a very successful Art Toronto and received positive comments about our booth.

Sky Goodden writes in her Blouin ArtInfo review that “London, Ontario’s Michael Gibson curated his booth each day to produce new conversations between his Regionalist estates (Greg Curnoe, Paterson Ewen) and his younger roster (James Kirkpatrick), with a sculptural painting by Gathie Falk and a vibrant landscape by Wanda Koop interrupting things nicely.” Read more of Sky Goodden’s review HERE

Opening night we were excited to sell Greg Curnoe’s 1964 painted construction of “Sheila’s Legs” as well as one of the last major beework figurine sculptures by Aganetha Dyck. Ron Martin’s “To Foil Oils, Number 1” painting received a lot of attention as well as Natalka Husar’s series of nine “Why They Behave Like Russians” paintings.

Several of Wanda Koop’s gorgeous small canvases found a new home and balanced nicely with Paterson Ewen’s 1997 “Caged Colour” work on handmade paper. We are proud that Gathie Falk’s folded shirt ceramic sculpture “George” has been acquired for the Gardiner Museum collection.

Emerging artist Erik Olson sold (still wet!) sumptuous oil portraits and a new circuit-bent sound sculpture sold by James Kirkpatrick.

Diana Thorneycroft’s newest series of photographs “Canadians and Americans (best friends forever…it’s complicated)” was received very well. The large format “Lake O’Hara (Clark, Northern Dancer and the evil weasel)” sold to a major Canadian bank and “Christina’s World (gets turned upside down by Cpl. Dew Wright)” sold to a Canadian investment company.

Thank you to everyone who attended Art Toronto 2013!
