The Golych Collection of Inuit Art Gifted to McMaster
August 6, 2015
We are delighted to announce the receipt of a new, major acquisition: The Michael and Gail Golych Collection of Inuit Art
In the fall of 2014, Mr. Michael Golych, long-time and much loved art teacher at Westdale Secondary School, Hamilton, initiated the donation of 50 Inuit works on paper to the McMaster Museum of Art.
“This generous gift deeply and significantly broadens the Inuit collection of the Museum,” said McMaster Museum of Art Director and Chief Curator, Carol Podedworny,
The Golych collection was built from many sources, over an extended period of time. It includes 21 works by Kenojuak; multiple holdings by Pitseolak, Mary Pudlat, Kananaginak Pootagook; and 16 by other artists. Ranging in dates from 1963 through to 2000; the collection includes drawings, etchings, stonecuts and lithographs.
The gift was finalized early this year.
We were deeply saddened to learn of Mr. Golych’s passing in March 2015.
