Four galleries have partnered to present Isaacs Seen: The University of Toronto Art Centre, The Art Gallery of Ontario, The Justina M. Barnicke Gallery, Hart House, and the Textile Museum of Canada. The four interconnected exhibitions illustrate the career of pioneer art dealer and avid collector Avrom Isaacs and his impact on the Canadian art scene.
Gallery ReView exemplifies what the public might have seen at the Isaacs Gallery from the 1950s to 1990. Beginning with the abstract expressionist Karma, a 1957 canvas by William Ronald, the show includes thirty paintings and sculptures by twenty-four artists long associated with the gallery. While it cannot comprehensively cover four decades of hundreds of shows, the Art Centre displays something of the breadth and depth of Isaacs Gallery offerings, with widely varying approaches expressed through a range of media.
