2013 Annual Report 9 PERMANENT COLLECTION ART

Both historical and contemporary works were acquired for the art collection in 2013, considerably increasing the Museum's holdings by 95 works through donations and purchases. Important works were added to the collection by Kim Adams, Kim Ondaatje, and Colette Urban as well as works by historical artists such as and Paul Peel among many others. These works—representing over 140 years of Canadian art in all styles and media—were generously donated from the collections of: Bryon Aceman; Claire Anderson; Alan Cohen; Wes De Shane; Tariq Hassan Gordon; Nina and Kenneth Lester; Joan Mackie and Keith Wagland; Stephen and Lynn Smart; Sara Steers; as well as from the Estates of Eugene Lamont and Marion Murray. Additional acquisitions were made possible through gifts from the Volunteer Committee to Museum London and the York Wilson Foundation for the Visual Arts, as well as through the transfer of several historical works from the material culture collection. Their generosity has greatly enhanced the Museum's art collection. Museum London would further like to acknowledge a number of significant gifts from artists. Chris Cran, Kim Ondaatje and Thelma Rosner made donations which complement existing holdings of their work in the art collection. The Museum also acquired a number of works through purchase in 2013. In addition to works by historical artists Greg Curnoe and William Lees Judson, works by living artists with a connection to London and the region selected by the curators included: Kim Adams, Marc Bell, Robert Bozak, Jason McLean, Kim Ondaatje and the late Colette Urban. Each of these acquisitions augments the range and depth of the art collection, and contributes to the Museum's ability to program exhibitions that uphold our ongoing support of local art practices in the context of regional and national trends.

2013 Annual Report 13 PERMANENT COLLECTION MATERIAL CULTURE

There were several exciting additions made to Museum London’s Material Culture Collection in 2013. A purchase of items from the Eugene Lamont Estate, and donations from Bev Stainton, from Wyn and Lucretia Geleynse, and Jonathan Vance, brought several merchandising artifacts into the collection, expanding our ability to document the history of local businesses. Accompanying these merchandising items was a watchmaker's repair table and several timepieces from Nash and Pfaff Jewellers. Both Derek Dier and Willis Darling provided fine examples for the artifact collection. Judith M. Rodger donated several dozen items related to cigar production and sales, a prominent industry in London, Ontario from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This past year, London’s rich medical history was once again highlighted through items gifted by the estate of Dr. H.B. Stewart and the London Health Sciences Centre. As part of the latter donation, the original ceramic autopsy table from the South Street Hospital morgue found a new home at Museum London. The Evans Funeral Home also passed along a unique Portable Embalming Kit from the 1920s. The military service of London residents, at home and abroad, is recorded with donations from Mrs. Phyllis Benner and Mary Kienapple of London, and Connie Johnston of Guelph. Following the recent exhibition, Under the Weather, photographs documenting the 1937 flood and a flood tag were given to the Museum. Helen M. Roberts donated a Victorian Dress and a fine example of a reticule drawstring purse, adding a welcome addition to the Museum’s significant textile collection. A silver christening mug, belonging to the son of famed London painter Paul Peel and a silver, family, napkin ring were donated by Joan Mackie and Keith Wagland of Toronto. In addition to these significant historical donations two important contemporary items—a Nestlor Drafting table, donated by Jiri Jelinek and a recent Gay Pride Parade Costume, offered by Ms. Naomi Nadea—were also added to the collection. Sincere thanks to the generous donors who contributed to the expansion of the Museum’s artifact holdings in 2013.
