Among his many pioneering accomplishments, Baxter& co-founded the Iain Baxter& N.E. Thing Company in 1966, explored the use of back-lit Cibachrome transparencies in the 1960s and 70s, and helped set the stage for Vancouver’s emergence as an international centre of photo-based practice.

  • Moma's RENOWNED COLLECTION of PAINTING and SCULPTURE
    MoMA’S RENOWNED COLLECTION OF PAINTING AND SCULPTURE RETURNS TO VIEW IN ELEGANT AND EXPANSIVE GALLERIES Inaugural Installation in Newly Expanded Building Presents Key Movements, Artists, and Styles that Shaped the Evolution of Modern and Contemporary Art New York, November 15, 2004—The newly renovated and expanded Museum of Modern Art, opening on November 20, 2004, will present the Museum’s renowned collection of painting and sculpture in a completely new reinstallation that dynamically illustrates the movements, artists, and influences that have shaped modern and contemporary art over the last 125 years. Works from the collection will be exhibited on three floors of expansive galleries, including the Museum’s first galleries devoted exclusively to contemporary art. Architect Yoshio Taniguchi has designed suites of carefully calibrated spaces in which to trace the developments of art from the late 19th century to the present day, following a layout established by John Elderfield, The Marie-Josée and Henry Kravis Chief Curator of Painting and Sculpture, in collaboration with Jerome Neuner, Director of Exhibition Design and Production. Though works from the collection are exhibited in an essentially chronological sequence, the galleries’ distinctive design allows that progression to be non-linear, thus emphasizing how artists, movements, and styles coincided, competed with each other, and broke new ground in the evolution of modern art. Each gallery is a cohesive presentation relating an episode in the history of modern art; while each individual gallery constitutes an integral part of the larger narrative, it can also stand alone as a self-contained chapter within that story. “The most wonderful aspect of the new MoMA building from a curator’s point of view is that it allows us to look at the collection anew,” said Mr.

The large size of certain of his pioneering canvases, the purity and drama of his color, and above all the immediacy and simple splendor of his art especially re­ commended it to the younger abstract painters who were searching for their ovm styles in the late 1950s and early 1960s. This exhibition of more than 160 works traces his development from the lyrical "cosmic landscapes" of the early years through the monumen­ tal, color-saturated canvases of his breakthrough period, including Vir Heroicus Sublimis, (1950-1951 )and Cathedra (1951) . Among the 77 paintings, dating from 1945 through 1970, are four important late canvases never before shown: Who's Afraid of Red, Yellow and Blue IV of 1969-70, and Midnight Blue, Be I (Second Version)and Untitled, all of 1970. All 14 paintings in The Stations of the Cross series are included, as well as Newman's six sculptures, together for the first time, and installed in the Museum Garden. His largest, the monumental Broken Obelisk, was given to the Museum on the occasion of the opening.

  • Building Stories Volume 2 from the Alberta Foundation for the Arts Collection
    Building Stories Volume 2 From the Alberta Foundation for the Arts Collection Interpretive Guide James Nicoll, Home of Paint, n.d. Oil, ink on canvas board. 17 x 14 inches Courtesy the AFA Collection Alberta Foundation for the Arts Travelling Exhibition Program Alberta Foundation for the Arts Travelling Exhibition Program Building Stories Volume 2 Curated by Todd Schaber The exhibit, Building Stories: Volume 2, draws attention to the buildings that surround us and how the structures are a visual storytelling of Alberta’s past. The paintings, chosen from the Alberta Foundation for the Arts’ permanent collection, present fifteen Alberta artists whose work depict the buildings from their own personal stories and observations. Building Stories includes a range of building types and they bring the viewer from farm buildings, like in Gertrude Fleming’s scene of a warm afternoon in Meadow’s Ranch, Fairmont, BC, to a city scene on a chilly, winter day in Randy Hayashi’s January on Jasper Avenue. The other artists in the exhibit include Roy Kiyooka, James Nicoll, Daphne Stankievech, Evelyn McBryan, Euphemia McNaught, Earl Cummins, Margaret Shelton, Patrick Douglass Cox, Neil Patterson, O.N. Grandmaison, John Snow, Stanford Perrott, and Gordon Harper. The featured buildings are family homes in quiet neighbourhoods; buildings that shelter, comfort, and foster life. There are buildings that have long been forgotten and are rundown, like in Stanford Perrott’s Sander’s Machine Shed. The homes, office towers, farmhouses, churches, barns and grain elevators in Building Stories contain a multitude of narratives because the buildings in the exhibit not only carry the original story of the artist, but also what the viewer imagines.
