Members' Access: Light Years: The Phil Lind Gift

Friday, November 1, 2024 - Sunday, November 3, 2024
Art Gallery of Ontario
Signy Eaton Gallery, Art Gallery of Ontario

Join us for exclusive Members’ Access from Friday, November 1. 2024 - Sunday, November 3  2024 to mark the opening of Light Years: The Phil Lind Gift. 

A prodigious collector of contemporary art, the late Phil Lind (1943-2023) was drawn to artworks that illuminated social and political histories. An enthusiastic supporter of what has since come to be known as the Vancouver school of conceptual photography, this exhibition features works by noted Vancouver-born artists Stan Douglas, Rodney Graham, Ron Terada and Jeff Wall.

Complementing these lens-based works – some intimate, some large-scale light boxes, some multimedia - are paintings, photographs and sculptures by Thomas Demand, William Eggleston, Antony Gormley, Philip Guston, William Kentridge, Thomas Ruff, Laurie Simmons, Wolfgang Tillmans and Ai Weiwei. This exhibition is curated by AGO Associate Curator of Modern Art Adam Welch.

Members always see it first! Simply show your digital Membership card to enter the Gallery and at the exhibition entrance to see the show.
