Barbara Astman, RCA, is one of Canada’s most highly acclaimed artists whose work has received national and international recognition.
The McMaster Museum of Art has had the great fortune to be able to show different bodies of work by Astman in three separate exhibitions over the last year: 125 & 45: An interrogative Spirit which included her recent gifts to McMaster Scenes from a movie for one # 1 and #3; Dancing with Che: Enter Through the Gift Shop a fascinating and controversial installation/intervention now on view at Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art in Toronto; and the McMaster Museum of Art’s current exhibition Flowers and Photography – a must-see exhibition of work by 6 Canadian women artists curated by Carla Garnet.
