Join us for a talk with AGO Assistant Curator of Modern Art, Kenneth Brummel, about his recent reinstallation of the AGO’s Modern Collection galleries.

The first three galleries to open as part of Look:Forward feature international modern art from the permanent collection, including major works by Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Claude Monet, Joan Miró, Fernand Léger, Franz Kline, David Smith and Barbara Hepworth.

Look:Forward is an exciting reinstallation of the AGO Collection. Led by the vision of the AGO’s curators, the project celebrates exceptional art by presenting the very best of our Collection; to inspire meaningful and engaging experiences for our visitors; and to be relevant to our changing audiences by reflecting and strengthening the vibrancy and possibility of Toronto.
