McMaster’s Levy Collection at Kelowna Art Gallery
June 14, 2018
McMaster Museum of Art’s touring exhibition A Cultivating Journey: The Herman Levy Legacy opens this weekend at the Kelowna Art Gallery where it will be on view from June 16 to October 28, 2018. Our Senior Curator Ihor Holubizky will be leading a Talk and Tour of the exhibition on Saturday, June 16 from 2 to 3 pm.
Ihor and Collections Manager Julie Bronson travelled to Kelowna for the installation and shared some photos of Kelowna’s excellent team hard at work behind-the-scenes, hanging, handling, and lighting the most famous works from McMaster’s collection.
MORE ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
More than sixty drawings, etchings, and paintings comprise this exhibition which spans five centuries of visual art, and offers viewers the opportunity to examine a variety of art movements and styles.
Works in the exhibition date from the 15th century, including a number of etchings by Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, to the late twentieth century. Paintings by artists including Gustave Courbet, Claude Monet, Mary Beale, Camille Pissarro, Vincent van Gogh, and many others are featured. This will mark the first time that works by many of these distinguished artists have ever been shown in Kelowna.
A Cultivating Journey showcases art collected by Hamilton businessman and philanthropist Herman Herzog Levy, which he donated to the McMaster Museum of Art in 1984, as well as works purchased later with Levy’s Bequest. The exhibition is organized and circulated by the McMaster Museum of Art and curated by Dr. Ihor Holubizky, Senior Curator. A Cultivating Journey was first presented at the McMaster Museum of Art in Fall 2017, before travelling to the Vancouver Art Gallery where it was on view from March 3 to May 21, 2018.
